Hey everyone!

We’re looking at fun new ways to get folks more involved here on gmodstore and across the wider Garry’s Mod community. That means more events, more collaboration, and more chances to show off cool creations!

Check out some of the ideas we’re floating below 👇

Tell us what sounds exciting, what doesn’t, and what else you’d love to see.

💡 Ideas We’re Considering

🎮 1) Gamemode Competitions

🏆 We provide a theme → you (solo or in a team) create a gamemode → judges pick winners!

⚡ 2) Code Jams

⏱️ Short + fast mini-competitions where you build something based on a prompt.

🏅 Quick judging + winners announced.

🛠️ 3) Non-Coding Competitions

No coding needed! Think:

🧱 Sandbox builds

🤖 Contraptions

🎨 Comics

📰 Other creative submissions

🎤 4) Gmodstore Podcast / Vlog

Chatting with creators, community members, admins, and more.

🎧 Interviews • 🗨️ Discussions • 🧠 Insight

🔦 5) Product Spotlights / Reviews

Creators can opt in to let staff (and maybe volunteers!) hop into a server and do a “let’s-play” style showcase of their approved addons.

✅ You’d love to participate :

Gmodstore Podcast / Vlog

👀 You’d just watch :

Code Jams

Gamemode Competitions

Gmodstore Podcast / Vlog

(all the above is great but should be in a monthly basis and can be funded by servers for advertisement like was done for previous competition)

❌You’re not into it :

Product Spotlights / Reviews

✨ Or share your own ideas! :

Map/models/art jams/competitions.

this idea that is outside of the box, what about a game mode competition that can be over 6 months, that makes play sooo different from GMod it self ((not simple just basic game mode), I did see lof of addons like recent god of war addon that was in the popular page that had everything costum (animation boss animation ect made it feel not gmod but god of war it self lol) (this is just a brainstrom idea )
