I know it's not ideal. But it's just a matter of how we're set up. Monolith's a side thing for most of us, I'm in full time employment, I'm currently 4000 miles away in another country with not much access to help make updates, nor do I have much drive to do so as I'm on vacation.
It's nice to take a break, and I'm not too fussed that the server's in a rough state playercount wise. It peaks and troughs, and that's okay. We will be releasing our Riverden update very shortly and that'll probably help for a while - but I think it's naive to expect an outstanding level of update frequency every month, it's just not a viable thing to request. I've been working on Monolith since December 2016, it's now 2022. That's over 5 years. It's hard to expect a consistent level of updates from me because I get burnt out on the project over time. We're also transferring some of our efforts for the next generation of Monolith in S&box, which takes away some manpower from the Garry's Mod server.
All I can say, is that we listen, and we see what you see. We're not blind to it, and we won't turn a blind eye to it either. I care very much for Monolith, and always will - but I won't put it in front of life priorities, nor should anyone else.
I'd like to add, that some of us have thousands of hours of gameplay in Monolith, and a simple game update isn't gonna replenish that. It's the same with any game, no level of updates will replenish your desire to play. And that's okay.
