≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪

  • We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?

    After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.

    This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.

    Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.

What is your age?
21

Which timezone do you primarily live in?
EST

Approximately how many hours have you played on Gateway?
Most likely more then 200, I have 1000 hours on pz and I think most are from this server.

Approximately how many hours do you play a week?
I am able to be on at least an hour every day.

Describe your roleplay experience.
I have enjoyed my time on Gateway, I think Project Zomboid, especially with Build 41 makes for a great roleplaying experience as there is danger in the game itself and not only generated by other players. The dangerous world makes small interactions in a safe location more meaningful then in other roleplay mediums, and the game itself gives me a constant feeling of weariness. I think with this new build many unique roleplay scenarios will build themselves.

I have also roleplayed on a few games, Garry's mod. SS13, Starbound to name a few, and I am a member of a Call Of Cthulhu group, and in a few recorded actual plays.

Have you ever been involved in roleplay leadership and/or creating a lore?
Yes, I often gm games such as the Alien rpg, but mostly I play and gm Call Of Cthulhu now, where I have a few of my own scenarios.

Have you ever been an admin on an online game? If so, for what groups and for how long?
Back in the early days of earth I was an admin of a HL2 RP on Garry's mod. It's been so long I don't remember the name of that server, but it was for about a year.

Do you have any skills that could help the team?
I have been a part of a few published Call Of Cthulhu scenarios, which I think could help. I helped write 3 zombie based scenarios.

What do you think you may need to improve upon in terms of being an admin?
I need to remember things that would seem fun and interesting to me may not be for other people.

If you had to suggest a change to the way things are done on Gateway, what would it be?
I think Gateway should work on ways on attracting new players.

Hi Thrush

Can I ask you what characters you've played in the past, and what lores (if you remember)?

I remember you playing only a single character, in What We Become, Quote, which you played for only a few days iirc.

Sure, I was Amanda Reed way back when, but I think the character people will remember is Sunday Blackwood.

I also have a lot of other characters but those are the ones I think were more around

Hey, Thrush!! After some discussion amongst the staff, we've decided to accept your admin application!

You won't actually be added to the team right away. Our current plan is to finish up this lore with the team as it is, then add everyone new as Junior Admins once we get closer to our next lore. As of now, we're aiming to finish What We Become Part II: What Remains sometime in March 2022.

'Junior Admin' is our new name for trainee admins. Once you've been trained and have been on the team for a bit, you'll be promoted to a full admin!

Welcome to the team, in advance!

Heya, Thrush! I wanted to give you a little update.

I know we're way past the ETA we originally gave you. We've decided to stop giving an ETA period because there's no way we'll realistically be able to stick to it. But, we've made great progress on our map for the next lore as well as the story itself, and our current lore only has a few episodes remaining. MindGate will be posting another Not-So-Weekly Update soon to summarize our progress if you want to check it out. You'll still be added to the team once the current lore has concluded, assuming you still want to join the team.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi again!!

While our current lore still isn't complete, we were wondering if you'd like to be brought on the team early to help out with the production of next lore's map. I'm entirely willing to teach you how to use TileZed! We're still making awesome progress, but the more people we've got working on buildings the better. It wouldn't be anything wild, we're focusing on building houses and commercial buildings to fill out the world right now. Having access to community building pools helps a ton too. It's okay if you'd rather not, I just figured I'd extend the offer!
