Hey all!!
Soooo, Im working on a proje t to possibly bring back more energy into this community! Nothings official or concrete YET, but I wanted to get YOUR input into what you'd like.
The Concept: EM Planet Creates a Social Media and Video/Stream Platform that provides engaging content for community members. This content would be focused around this community and you guys! Think mod development streams, 3d modeling streams, Gameplay with community members, Highlights and commentary of new(and old!) mods. Plus Different gaming content like: em4, em5, into the flames, board games, role-playing ingame, even scripted mini series. There could be interveiws and features done on community members and mod teams, live q and a for admin and modders, and community events!
The reality is that this whole community has become fairly dispersed since back when I started in 2007. Back then it was active, lively, and it was a hub for everyone to go to for news and gaming and mods and so much. Today, forums alone are not the preferred content platform, but various social media is.
Ive been a modder and community member since 2007. I was an officer in squad 55, helped develop mods and assets like Harbor city, Mikeypis NYC, several submods, and stuff ive forgotten. This community gave me a place to go for so many years and encouraged me to develop and learn skills on my own that I still use. Im not retired from the US Army as a combat medic after 10 years. I teach emergency medicine in college and instruct wilderness medicine and fire/ems certifications. I meet SO MANY gamers who are looking for a place to go for this kind of stuff but have no direction.
Yes, I could just do this on my own without em planets involvement. But EM Planet is a community, and the community should be the one engaging with their members and producing content for them. There are so many people who are capable to contribute great things to this endevor, and it only makes sense to do this as a community.
If you read this far, thanks please consider voting in the poll or leaving a comment on your thoughts. It would really help direct this project!
feel free to msg me of you have any thoughts!
