Where is HarrysMod?

tldr; harrysmod

If you’re on this site you’re likely wondering where HarrysMod has dissappeared to. Unfortunatly, it wasn’t finanically viable to run the server anymore. I’d stopped working on it once I got a job and left it to the remaining staff, who did an excellent job of keeping it alive with semi-frequent updates and balance changes. Things change though, and in 2024 Garry’s Mod just doesn’t really have the appeal that it used to do.

So what’s next?

These days I have a real job making cool video games, however, In 2025 I’m going to be releasing the source code to HarrysMod for free on github. I’m going to do some deep dives on the code I wrote and highlight the terrible mistakes I’ve made, but also reflect on some of the stuff that I still find cool today.

Can I set up my own HarrysMod with it?

Sure! But please don’t ask me for any help with it. I also won’t be providing any user data that we gathered over the years. If you use it to build cool stuff, let me know!

I have more questions!

If you’ve got questions about HarrysMod please send me a message on discord (meharryp).

Thanks for reading!

If you got this far, here’s a few early videos from when I was fist building HarrysMod
