Recently, Medo and I were reminiscing about the good 'ol days of GG2 and during our stroll down memory lane we opened up the original GG2 design doc which has aged into a fascinating relic.

It was written collaboratively by the two of us during the first weeks of the Bootleg Demake competition back in August 2008 and it served both as our first real venue of serious communication (aside from the TIGSource boards) as well as a plan for what would eventually become GG2. We thought it would be fun to share our earliest thoughts on the game especially given how far we've come.

Here's the Document
Teal text is me and yellow text is Medo.

I'll do my best to stick around, answer questions, reminisce, and generally get wrapped up in nostalgia.

Enjoy!

Nice to know that things like kicking, banning and chat were planned from the start

[Intel Guard]

How things have changed.

[NAGN]

I find it interesting and rather obvious how the detonator has had issues with implementation from the start (along with the sniper and spy), and the compromise of merging all the classes into one

I'm gonna call GG2 Collaborative Stronghold now.

Pretty cool.

It's interesting to see what is commonly requested now (admin tools, chat, multiple 'weapons'), and just as commonly shot down, was planned for from the start.

Rofl q/c on/off option for servers on to-do list

I want to see that added just to see the fanboys' heads fucking explode

Huge list of done and to dos

Unsure

Hahaha, old but gold

A question, how do you suppose GG2 should respond to the direction TF2 has taken?

We added that years ago and took it out

Lemme crack open one of my ancient changelogs to confirm this

b43's changelog talks about how it was added around b39, but it never talks about it after that. Hard to find a changelog after that, though. The archive I had saved on my flash drive got deleted so I don't have it on-hand right now, it's hidden away on a flashdrive somewhere in this place. The assumption is that after 2.0 it was removed as an option.

My thoughts exactly.

I find it interesting melee weapons were originally planned.
