Big Origins News

2:02 PM <•DiePotato> while i type let me uh
2:02 PM <•DiePotato> have the floor i guess
2:02 PM <•DiePotato> i'll also answer what questions i can after we're done
2:02 PM <•DiePotato> er
2:02 PM <•DiePotato> i'm done
2:02 PM <•DiePotato> As you nerds may or may not know Origins has now been running for about 5 years
2:02 PM <•DiePotato> which is fucking long
2:03 PM <•DiePotato> they have been a long and storied 5 years and they were built by a GM team and members who are largely not around any more
2:03 PM <•DiePotato> As such, some of us in the GM team started playing around with the idea of a continuation/reboot
2:04 PM <•DiePotato> Because honestly?
2:04 PM <•DiePotato> Origins is less the "50's SCP RP" and more "The SCP RP that just happens to be in the 50's"
2:04 PM <•DiePotato> i feel that's partly our fault
2:04 PM <•DiePotato> and also a fault of the fact the original team is largely just not around anymore
2:05 PM <•DiePotato> we've kinda just been working with the scraps of what they've left
2:05 PM <•DiePotato> and there's also the slew of other problems that the original team did not see as being issues but have shown themselves as this place has aged
2:05 PM <•DiePotato> (like our system)
2:05 PM <•DiePotato> (dear god)
2:06 PM <•DiePotato> So, what began as vague musings by the GM team soon evolved into us actually considering a continuation/reboot of some sort
2:06 PM <•DiePotato> We're still very much Not Done
2:06 PM <•DiePotato> which is why I don't want to get into extreme specifics
2:07 PM <•DiePotato> because I'm honestly not sure what of what we have is going to go and what's going to stay
2:07 PM <•DiePotato> also we wanted to ask you all if you had any ideas
2:07 PM <•DiePotato> because the reboot/continuation is as much for you guys as it is for us
2:08 PM <•DiePotato> So, currently what I will say is we are indeed planning a continuation/reboot. It will be following the current Origins canon (to an extent), it will involve reworking the system to an extent, and will take place after the events of Origins
2:09 PM <•DiePotato> That's all I'm kinda willing/can say until the 21st of this month after the GM team meets at least one more time to consider what we have along with anything you guys propose
2:09 PM <•DiePotato> (within reason)
2:09 PM <•DiePotato> So, yeah
2:09 PM <•DiePotato> that's it
2:10 PM <•DiePotato> any questions
2:10 PM <•DiePotato> that i can answer
