Initially developing the mod as a useful addon for a private server among friends, I realised that if we needed it, it was likely that others would too. And so, with a little bit of polish, I published the mod on steam, and within a month I had over 2000 unique users. Almost a year later and the mod has grown to have over 12,000 unique users and in this time, I have maintained active development, responding to user feedback on the steam community page and implementing requested features, in addition to quickly patching any bugs reported by users.
