In a recent ask, you said something about customizing your avatar. To quote the best child actor known to man: Whatchu talkin' bout?

Avatar being a colloquial term for in game player.

I got banned from facepunch, is there any other way I can still get information on TF2C and such?

You can receive information from tf2classic.com

Will you be adding the scout's backpack to the game? In the beta the scout would have been able to pick up ammo and health pickups. I have been wishing that this was in the real game and I have some good stat ideas for the item.

We have no plans for this at the moment.

Will there ever be a Special Delivery map for 4 teams? That would be awesome.

We have no plans on porting Special Delivery

All the advertising for this game says that it is "Community-Driven", but why is everything being hidden? The last Playtest was in like June, and I hardly seen any of the devs. The Trello is private, and the news line has gone quiet. Nobody plays the game anymore, and I've been largely unsuccessful in organizing game days on my TF2CP group. It'd be nice to at least have the devs host a Playtest for us to be able to enjoy the game with other people....

We will try to host a weekly play event!

There hasn't been anything really in the way of updates recently. Are you guys doing anything at all in terms of development, even some bugfixes?

This question is dated, but yes! Check out our developer blog at tf2classic.com

Is King Of The Hill an in-joke for the devs, or is it just something stupid?

King of the Hill is now an officially supported game mode!

[tf2classic]

Hey, I was wonder if you guys were every gonna make official Team Fortress 2 Classic servers. Like Valve servers but not TF2.

Yes, we have seven!

[tf2classic]

Like in the tf2 gun mettle update, will weapon swapping be implemented?

No

[tf2classic]

When are you guys going to host another community gametest/gameplay

I only speak for myself here (not the entire dev team), but I’d like to host more gametimes and as I have more time myself I definitely will be. Otherwise, I’d like to see more in general going on too (whether they’re tests or just plays to keep people active).

Eric S finally replied to the email that I sent them on April 7th.

Now I can start work on my own leaked-source-code-TF2 project where I’ll offer an Unusual Hat/Australium Weapon selection system that is public-access. Fun times!

i know that you don't want tf2c to become a hat sim but why no add some non-intrusive hats like the first tf2 hats (example: Mining Light, Trophy Belt, Soldier's Stash, Baseball Bill's Sports Shine, and Otolaryngologist's Mirror) just to add a bit of uniqueness to each character? i gets kind of boring having everyone look the same. and to avoid making an economy, just make all the hats unlocked like the weapons are, so you could pick and choose what your avatar wears and not have trading.

We will not be adding hats. There might be some other ways for you to customize your avatar in the future.

Are you guys still working on Espionage mode? If so, what's the premise of it? Is it like the hostages in Counter Strike?

Yes, we are. You can read about it here:

Is there a place, where is a FULL guide to DM Map making?

We don’t currently have a guide for making Deathmatch maps, however this is really all you need:

info_player_teamspawn - Team set to Red

tf_logic_deathmatch - Anywhere

tf_weaponspawner - Weapon pickups

I apologise if any of these names are wrong, outdated or a bit out, these are all off the top of my head.

Will your team ever going to work on other games in the future (e.g Counter-Strike)?

As a team I think we will only work on TF2C.Individual members may always wind up working on other mods or their own games, most of us are quite the enthusiasts and would love to work in the industry

DM Merc When? And If Add DM Merc, DM Merc will appears Class select menu?

DM Merc will not be able to be selected outside of deathmatch by default. Server operators can change this. We have no timeframe for deathmatch’s official release.
