Fat Kid

IMPORTANT: READ THE LICENSING SECTION IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A SERVER

Fat Kid is a Garry's Mod remake of the classic Halo 3 custom game with the same name.


The game consists of rounds in which one player spawns as the "Fat Kid", a slow moving character with a massive amount of health, and his goal is to eliminate the other players before the round ends. The other players ("skinny kids") must flee through a narrow map and break down barricades to avoid being cornered and eaten by the Fat Kid. If the Fat Kid eats a player, that player turns into a "skeleton", which is a minion of the Fat Kid. Skeletons are fast-moving but have very low health, and their goal is to help the Fat Kid eliminate the skinny kids. The round has a time limit, and if any skinny kid survives until the end, the Fat Kid loses.

I originally created this gamemode in 2015 and it was popular on YouTube for some time. It was kept proprietary for several years, but I've decided to open source it now to see what the community can do with it. To connect to the official server, paste in console:

• Fat Kid gamemode + Duck Hunt + Infection base
  
• Maps: fatkid_gymnasium09, fatkid_elementary07, fatkid_underground05, duckhunt_pond_v1
  
• Assets (just the playermodel)

If you make a new map or other extension for Fat Kid, please be aware that the license[github.com]gives us permission to include your work here so everyone can use it.


If you want to create a community server, please be aware that this code is distributed with a restrictive license[github.com] which disallows you from selling any form of in-game items or privileges to players. I don't want my gamemode to be ruined by pay-to-win nonsense; in fact, this is the main reason I kept the gamemode private for so long.

Can you actually make rules like that? Yes, the massive and 15-year-old Zombie Survival gamemode is shipped with a similar no-pay-to-win restriction and it is on Workshop too.
