We had a jungle update in 2018, why do we need another one?

This is a great idea. I love this. However, deal with the bots first, and after that add new content.

I will send 10 nukes to valve HQ if they don't this

god valve don't deserve this community...

I have like 7k or 8k steam points in rewards to this I REALLY LOVE THIS STUFF. I loved the summer ticket contracker that was in workshop last year too (Mandatory Mercenary Summer Job.)

I will be giving this my steam points regardless of if valve adds this or not. VALVE THIS IS WHAT WE WANT! As for the workshop creators, collabs like this are great! I love the inclusion of the contracker ticket for this. It would be so hype to use the contracker again.

legal mas infelizmente não vamos ter pq valve

@Incognito Burrito if they just had like 3 people on the team, it would be possible. You'd just copy-paste the existing JI contract system and change it to fit this. As for weapon reskins, it shouldn't be too hard. Killstreak effects + a new Unusual effect require minimal effort. adding an update of this scale would be fairly easy for a semi-competent team, as it uses existing systems or requires minimal custom coding. of course, because it requires custom coding, it'll never be added.

also, Valve never does community updates now, remember Invasion and EofL? they were a mess behind the scenes, that's why JI only used jungle-themed community content rather than the full Mayann community project that came out around that time.

valve, please!

Cannot be copy pasted, cannot be added. So depressing

NO WAY YOU MADE A CONTRACT PASS FOR TROPIC CRISIS TOO!? THIS IS SO COOL DUDE!!! VALVE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO THIS COMMUNITY UPDATE

damn, 30! contracts, that's way more than i expected lol

Not only that Incognito Burrito but VALVe has not added a community update 100% since the community fumbled back in 2015 with Invasion, 2017's jungle inferno used some bits and pieces from the Mayann community update instead of implementing the Mayann update 100%.

I love this. I completely adore this in every way. I really, really, REALLY want them to add this. I want the whole project, full-scale, to be implemented.

...But Eric Smith stated in the interview from a few months back that this year's summer update wouldn't be as big as last year's summer update (specifically, that it'd be the size of 2023's Smissmas/Halloween). Asking them to make THIRTY contracts (for reference, Jungle Inferno had 36), implement EIGHT weapon reskins (admittedly not the worst thing to do), new killstreak effects, and a weapon unusual effect, ALL in addition to the standard content the updates typically offer?

I really WANT it to be able to happen but I also can't help my damned logic-calculating brain from thinking it's NOT possible.
