Hello, Willard Networks!
With V3 actually manifesting, and with the proper main server opening encroaches closer and closer, Short Stories will also be getting it's own "V3". A Short Stories with a plan for what it wants in the future, as well as one open to events suggested by those not on the team. We want the players to know that Short Stories isn't just a set of random events, but events done with purpose.
The definition of 'purpose' in this case being an actual reason for the event to be happening. The reasoning could be anything from it providing more context to the greater Willard story, to it just being a fun idea. Either way, quality will be ensured to a baseline standard, especially in "Narrative Regions" we plan on introducing. Overarching storylines for specific regions on the world map so that even Events not connected to one another will still play into the greater narrative of Willard.
Short Stories can be:
Events set in the greater-Willard Canon, to explore the world outside of City 13 and Europe as a whole.
Semi-Canon Half-Life Events, to explore concepts introduced in the games OR introducing concepts to it.
Events completely unrelated to Half-Life and HL2RP, exploring other universes using the Willard Schema.
However, the main point of this "V3 Short Stories" is to bring Half-Life Events to the forefront. Fungle and I have been in discussion already, and I've already begun to reach out to those interested in possible events. We look forward to what's to come, and will keep the community updated in the future.
