You know this map is iconic when people on completely different systems and even non-gamers know about it
Like dust_2
like gm_bigcity
@Vscojen like your mom
It is the "Nuketown" of Valve games along side 2Fort and Dust2
You know this map is iconic when it has been recreated in another super popular video game COUGH COUGH ultrakill COUGH COUGH
For Gmod players, this is home sweet home.
Exactly.
nah that's always been flatgrass for me
its our home
For OG Gmod players it is "old" home.
I have spent, over 500 hours on this specific map. I am going clinically insane, please help.
"Only time will tell if making the map British is the right way forward."
Holy shit they colonized construct
oh fu-
as a british person i can confirm gm_construct is about a 7 minute drive from my house, nice place to visit
@@webber-gaming Also being a British person I can confirm this is true, whenever it's a warm 2 degrees Celsius out I'll have my fish and chips on the benches while someone drives a bathtub into me multiple times
@Adabro27 have a stroll through the morning drizzle and take a 20 minute train to old Construct, though i might start an npc war between the Combine and the local bobbies while I'm at it.
“gm_construct is in our control… for the time being.”
Can we just celebrate the fact that Richter has now gotten *two* interviews with Garry? We’re so lucky that he’s a generous man willing to satisfy curiosity about his beloved game.
Can i celebrate you? Like can we kiss? Lets hold eachother at night?? Like?
YO WSG
I can't lie, the fact we're not still on Garry's Mod 13 just blew my mind. I thought 13 was the last version.
me too I thought if gmod 14 came out it would be a separate release rather than a content update
yeah i was suprised by that too
As a bulgarian i can confirm every city is like city 17
and gm construct is the default map you spawn in when born
And I'm assuming your police have gasmasks and force you to put cans in the bin?
BRO ONG I SWEAR BULGARIA IS LIKE GM_CONSTRUCT V10000000000000000000000000000

Can you own pistols in Bulgaria?
I want someone to make GM_Construct in real life. It could be like a playground of sorts. I'd make pilgrimage to it just to build a chair or a shelf or something.
Im right on it.
(Joke)
If I had infinite money, I would absolutely make a real life GM_construct
In my opinion, that sounds... surprisingly easy? Forgive any of my ignorance, but what you would need is a piece of land accurate to the size of gm_construct (maybe a little bigger to fit a parking lot), secure a deal with a construction company and of course a huge amount of money.
Though I believe maintenance is gonna be a bit tricky. Like the little lake has to be crystal clear, the dozens of empty rooms have to be kept spotless and the entire property needs to be protected from vandalism.
@@verticalflyingb737 Yeah, you do have a point. However... Don't forget that you would need to pay atleast a few thousand dolars just to make the gm_construct buildings. Also there could be prop hunt and probably competitions on who can make a better thing out of cardboard or wood.
Anyways, making gm_construct is hard, also including that you need to make a way out without there being a way in (if you know what i mean) so that vandals can't get in
@@verticalflyingb737 I feel like nobody will vandalize a irl gm_construct (except for people who wrongly side with JBmod) and the lake wouldn't need to be kept that crystal, just died a blue
It's been a long time, but it was a fun adventure designing GM_CONSTRUCT_13 with HighVoltage. Yes, that's me, the co-creator of the v13 construct, and yes, it is an unfortunate last name. Pronounced "rap-pee." I still have all of the VMF files for the different versions of the map, such as the tunneled version. In case the facepunch thread is gone, I could always re-upload them if anyone wants them. Thanks for making this video! :)
If you have any questions about the development of the v13 construct, I will try my best to answer them. For example, the apartment building next to the lake used to have lighting, stairs, and floors in it, but Garry asked that we just empty the building out intentionally to leave it as an open space for building inside it. Or how Garry asked us to add a ramp to the grass displacements near the pond for the airboat and cars to ramp off of and into the pond.
The tunnel version of the map was probably my favorite version.
Is there a fan rendition of Construct that you particularly like? Or one that has changes that you wish you had implemented?
@@p1nkp1ss41 I have always enjoyed versions of GM_CONSTRUCT that had railway systems and/or tunnels. There have been many maps like that, but the core concept of having some kind of train railway for people to build trains was always such a fun thing to do, and I was bummed out that we didn't get to use tracks like that in GM_CONSTRUCT13 moreso due to time constraints as the release of v13 was looming upon us.
The idea of making a vehicle in the source engine out of scrap metal and making it actually work was always such a fun thing to do.
@@bunny-lab Thank you!
@@bunny-labdo you ever think you can upload these maps to the workshop?
I have never seen a Gmod's map so nostalgic yet so haunted/cursed .

This is legitimately one of the most vital video essays in a while: Few bits of pop culture history have had both the incredible reach and incredible staying power of ye olde gm_construct, and it's fascinating to see actual, factual research about it. This is a great one! Thanks for making it.

I love the fact that people still make gmod content like this and its one of the reasons why the game is still alive. You can literally do anything in the game and the only thing stopping you is...well yourself. Great video as always man
It starts with one
One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, did-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when-
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when-
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
Real.

I remember eagerly playing the Gmod 13 Beta. It was an amazing experience to explore that early Workshop and just get ready for what was planned.
It's like seeing a video tour of a house you haven't lived in for years, then going further back and seeing how it's changed among various owners and its own blueprint. Very cool :)
thanks for the poggy vid blober
Dang, the gmod 10 main menu brought me back so many memories. Thank God Garry saved all the older versions of construct. Recently went and played all of them. The gmod 9-12 construct version gave me a nostalgia punch.
It's such an iconic map, but I love all these quality videos. Keep up the great work Richter!
Quite nice having Garry responding questions for the video, really liked it.
It really shows what kind of legacy this map has when a completely unrelated game, Ultrakill, has its own recreation of the map for its sandbox mode that they let you experiment in. Truly an iconic map
the map of all time

5:02 Getting credited in the secret room was pretty cool.
I annoyed Garry enough with the global table hacks I had to done in WireMod and other mods to inject code that he gave me commit access to what was going to be v12 to add a bunch of UI stuff we and other mods would want. I found out years later that I was credited on wiki for working on the UI system, which I beleive is almost entirely replaced by as new one now.
v11 and v12 were the main gm_construct maps during my era working on gmod. Not sure on the timing of the legacy map pack as I seem to remember versions of that from pre-workshop-support, but that might have been community made packs and recreations.
Its nuts seeing how gmod is still going today.
Would love to see an updated gm_construct. The closest we've gotten are workshop submissions, but I hope it expands in the near future. Great video.
I've recently decompiled the map of GM_Contruct to see how the map was built and what surprised me was that there is an unused layer in the map data with a ton of brushwork hidden. It was actually either an early version or a part of the 3D skybox. It's those mountains in 7:25. They are still in the map file just unused.
Yeah, I miss the mountains, but Garry wanted a unified feel between GM_FLATGRASS and GM_CONSTRUCT so they were functionally removed from the map.
It's so iconic that I showed someone some footage of bonelab gm_construct they thought it was Gmod vr
this is great. the pacing of the video, the interview, editing, all of it is great
Fun fact, when GM13 construct was being worked on, ideas and design was sourced from threads on the facepunch forum and assembled together into the final level. This is what the credits room is about.
I did some work on the backdrop for the level. hence "Stinger21" in the credits. :)
nice!
I love that construct backdrop so good job
gm_construct is such an iconic map that the Ultrakill developer decided to use it for Ultrakiill's sandbox mode lmao
sometimes I wish I was born a bit earlier to experience at least some of the old gmod versions, it all looked really fun.
Same
Gmod is the best it's ever been
11:49 Holy crap that jumpscared me lol!
Also hell yeah Garry Newman! Good luck with Sandbox man!
I still remember when v5 was installed in the computer room at the school I went to and it was the most impressive thing most of us had ever seen. Then the next couple of years spent excitedly anticipating new version releases, and flash cartoons and places like newgrounds were still the in thing. What a weirdly awesome time for the internet
Richter never stopping to entertain!
Oh heck yeah! New Mr. overtime upload! I love you man!

Okay

Flatgrass is superior
Todays my birthday, and this is a great present! Thank you!
I remember when Gmod 13 came out and it blew my mind as a kid, it was a blast waking up to explore the new areas and see all that changed. I remember finding the secret room under the ramp naturally and it creeped me out so much. It felt like stumbling upon a conspiracy or something.
honestly that was a massive garry W for accepting the interview
Today, 2023 I played a lan party with my friend from 5 p.m. circa to 5 am.
Gmod flat grass, core memories that will last forever
Thank you for shaping my childhood, Garry. You're a hero, in my eyes.
I will always appreciate gm_construct for all the amazing memories when I was younger playing GMod for the first time 😢
I can still remember a RUclipsr who used the map and created a small game show there. The game show was called something like "Aperture Science Prop Wars," where each participant received a random prop and had to complete various challenges with it. Everything was also in the style of Portal and Aperture Science. The map stuck in my mind because it looked so surreal, just like in the GMOD Idiot Box. The locations that DaBoSchitt had chosen looked so real, yet also fake. This gave the world a certain allure, always drawing you in.
it's crazy to know that gmod_construct 1 was released a day where i wasn't even 4 years old
I did not expect to hear Re-Volt theme in a GMod-themed video, but god damn, you are a man of culture for including that.
If I was a trillionaire I would make a 1 to 1 recreation of gm_construct
Always happy to see him upload
Is good

cant believe you interviewed mr. g himself! richter has hit it big
200+ Hours here out of 2000.
That was the baseline of maneuverability testing and other tests for add ons, phys objects and etc. Plus, it was my standard starting map for my group escapades back when Evolve was needed for LAN party hosting over WAN... Good times.
I am indeed watching this on my smart TV. Thanks for the instructions!
its crazy that GM Construct is almost as old as me
I have 1800 hours in gmod, most of those were on sandbox gm_construct. And if not that, some variation, like construct flatgrass. I definitely have some crazy memories of builds I made, scenarios and all that. I love gmod.
The version with the coloured rooms you thought were odd is my quintessential construct version as it's the one I put 95% of my playtime into.
I so respect you for using Re-Volt music near the end
feel like you missed something thar also shows how iconic and versatile this map is. The large amount of Construct clones on the workshop.
4:35 the colored lights were actually to demo a new feature garry added to lua particles. In this version particles could receive lighting for the first time, which had been impossible with lua particles (and kinda not really supported by the built in half life 2 particle effects either) so it was a big deal at the time, even compared to other games.
Nowadays lit particles are relatively common, but not every game has them even now.
Okay, I haven't even started this video yet...
But I need that gm_construct coat
Damn in all my years of Gmod and HL2, I never thought the assets for the structures were inspired from Bulgaria although they did have this very familiar look to them. As a Bulgarian, I very much approve.
Yeah I had no idea, I thought that they were just generic block I didn't know that it was heavily based on Bulgaria and tbh alyx does look like a bulgarian
Saying Alyx looks like a Bulgarian is a very hilarious unintentional insult. Whether to Alyx or to Bulgarians, I’m not sure.
@@MoterX Alyx is black lmao
@@chrislaezur730 lol both tbh, going for that farmer style
I've really never understood why people find construct scary outside of the darkroom. I find it incredibly comforting in a weird melancholic way

you could have asked him if he can help you get the "yes i am garry" advancment
never played gmod i just got in today, it was my childhood as soon s i got gmod i went searching for it lol
Cortex Command music, I hear it… Nice.
You should include music sources in the description in the future, I think. Maybe they’re in video at the end, haven’t finished it yet.
I pointed at the screen and smiled when I seen gm_genesis because that’s the final map me and my friends played before they had to go on with new things
I love that grass and the sky from gm_cunstruct from gmod 9 it just nice to me
The way I've always thought of it is gm_construct is the bread and we are the filling. We choose what we want inside. But no matter what we choose, it always starts with the most important: bread.
I grew up playing a ton of gmod 9 as a kid then when i was like 16/17 i ended up buying gmod on steam (dang this was during the early 2010s)
Construct is just such a nostalgic map for me
I can only imagine how many childhoods are being shaped by it just like the generations before it
mr beast should make a video and make gm_construct IRL
i dont know any gmod maps but you bet i know the name gm-construct, were all born with that knowledge
great job as always man
The glorious gm_construct. The Gmod map we ALL started on, when we played this game for the first time...
Bro used Re-Volt soundtrack 🔥🔥
It's a great OST for a great game. The OST is up there with Ridge Racer Type 4.
"Good evening" its just so satisfying for some reason everytime
11:23 where is the original clip of this? cuz it seems fun to watch them
does anyone know where I can find the video found at 0:19 ? *update* I found it, its a mod that turns GM_Construct into the Indie Game "Scanner Sombre" with an added spooky element
@@Gojiro7 idk
I gotta get that construct jacket. I have the 2fort one
It's worth noting GMods origins are far more surprising in my opinion.
It started with another physics based mod whose development began around the same time and later led to its continued development after Garry originally planned to stop working on it. But these plans changed after the other mod make announcements of bigger things to come but eventually ceased development for nearly a decade, leaving Garry to continue GMods development near-unopposed and with an audience pouring over from the other discontinued mod.
He tweated last year after JBMod returned that he felt a little threatened by its development during GMods early years.
8:45 is that the cortext command theme in the back?
I used to have nightmares about being stranded alone in gm_construct for some reason
All visual bugs included
Bro, I literally used to have those nightmares too lmaooo
💀
Real
Gm_construct is always gonna hold so many memories
Life liberty and the pursuit of reliving the old gm_construct days with the boys
Marabou storks in some cities are "used" to clean garbage of streets.
cool
whoa new upload also really iconic for the hl2&hl1/source/gmod community
jesus christ talking about nostalgia you just hit me with a song from Cortex Command?
Nice wasnt expecting to see my cursed HL2 Vehicles in this Video :D
I recognised the FranzJ wearing the construct jacket in the thumbnail instantly lmao nice
Thanks, Colton Rappe. Thanks for making my childhood great, Colton Rappe.
I’ve come to know and love this video. It really is a video I’ve come to know and love.
Even though im young im glad i got to enjoy gmod as a whole back in 2012/2013
it was a great experience to watch all the content of the creators at the time
The nostalgic feeling is still the same for me
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
