ABOUT Novitas Bloc Gaming

New Horizons in Gaming

We are a community that cares deeply about the experience of our players. With all the resources we have and your help, we hope to build a truly awesome community that everyone can be happy to be a part of. Things don't always go as you plan them - but we're still here and we're still working towards better days. Join us?

Project Novitas
Project Novitas is, for now, a rather secretive project. What I can tell you is that it surrounds a new gamemode being developed in Garry's Mod. The theme, objective and key points of this gamemode are not yet to be disclosed, however, I will say that they are coming along nicely. I can also say that it is roleplay related and that it is going to be very, very fun.

Project Novitas can be expected by Fall 2015! :)

We're Hiring!
I have great expectations for the future of this community and Project Novitas. Do you have skills in coding, graphical design, mapping, or something else technically useful? Do you want to bring your involvement with Novitas Bloc to the next level? We're always looking for Division Managers (manage a VPN for a specific game), Server Managers (handle administration for specific game servers), developers and the like! Contact me, Moonlight, on Steam or post on our website if you are interested in getting involved.

The most important thing that I look for in applicants, besides maturity and responsibility, is a sense of humility. I don't want people going off on ego trips and letting power in the community go to their heads. Not here, not now, not ever. That rule applies to myself, as well.

What I'm up to These Days
Rebranding & The Future
Rebranding
Novitas was originally the codename of our GMod gamemode project. Think "Project Chicago", "The Manhattan Project", etc. It wasn't supposed to be the name of the community but it was the best name we could think of. At the time, I really liked the name, but since then, my feelings towards it has changed.

I realize now that Latin and Greek names sound too medical or like a banking / investment firm, not a gaming community.

In the future, we will be rebranding this community when we can afford to. It's my goal that our new name is shorter than "Novitas Bloc", relates to gaming and excitement, and is easy to say (lots of people couldn't say Novitas properly). That means new domain names and a new Steam group when the time comes.

What's Next
I'll start off by saying that Novitas and serious RP are more or less done. Our current Minecraft, Rust, and non-RP GMod ambitions will remain with the next generation of Novitas when we have something unique and fun to call our own and offer players (Project Novitas, *wink*).

Over the next few months, starting sometime in September and possibly extending into early next year, I will be working steadily on Project Novitas to ensure it accomplishes all our original goals. There has been some serious progress on it but I don't think there will be any kind of teasers or previews until it is 100% done. This is to ensure a sort of shock and awe factor and to protect some of the cool and unique ideas we have until it's set in stone, more or less.

The website will remain up but I will gut lots of the old articles that won't be relevent in the future. The administrative structure we have set up with Division Managers and Server Managers will remain, as I think it's a really good idea.

Besides changing our name, we'll also be changing our look. The website and logos will be remade in due time to fit our evolving identity.

From now until the time Project Novitas is done, Novitas Bloc will have no updates / maintanence on current gameservers that remain up. We will keep our dedicated server paid for as there is a lot of handy work done on it that will come in great use later; this means that for the duration of public inactivity that will continue to exist here on Novitas, you are free to keep playing. As always, the relevent rules apply.

As progress is made and milestones are reached, I will be sure to keep all of you informed as best as is possible. See you soon!

We could do polls and discussions here while the website, TS, and Server are down.
