Suggestion for Guardian Collection

[GManTheMarioGuy2]

Right now we already have forum topics which are meant for add-ons (custom maps and Characters & Custom Assets), a standalone site would take up web resources like storage, bandwidth and moderation, making it more expensive to run. Maybe when the game releases and modding takes off, the idea can be brought back for a second look.

Those ideas sound awesome! I’d love to see them tested out and added!

I think I could run my own localhost instance of my mod site idea, then save it to something like GitHub for later use

Nice, Go for it!

I looked into it, and I have a new idea.
Maybe Sean could make a new channel in the ZeoWorks Discord server like "#mod-releases" where users with the Modder role can attach their mods and maybe attach short videos of what they do.
Besides modding, Noclip in Sandbox and Color Codes For Chat may also be some neat features in a future update of Guardian Collection (as mentioned before)
If Sean wants something more advanced, in the future he could possibly switch from MyBB to Xenforo on https://zeoworks.com
XenForo is advanced, and doubles as a Forum and a Mod Site (can do both easily)
XenForo does cost a bit of money, so this'll probably be a thing in the future but not right now.

I see what you mean, and #mod-releases can work as a forum-style channel with flairs. It's a perfect option for showcasing said mods and possibly short demos, but some files themselves would still need to be linked to the website since some mods could be too large for Discord, and not everyone can afford Nitro.

As for XenForo, it is a powerful forum software, but it's heavier due to pulling more database queries and PHP resources, and it has a steep learning curve for webmasters and moderators who never had experience with said software. MyBB, on the other hand, is free, simpler to manage, easier to moderate, lightweight, and more flexible to customize with plugins and themes. Extra features can always be added to mybb if needed.

Other features you mentioned, like noclip in sandbox and color codes for chat, sound interesting and could be considered for a future update once the game is released!

I understand what you mean, I'm probably not gonna focus on Modding until Sean adds more support for it.
Also, Noclip in sandbox being a possible new feature is awesome =D
