Prop hunt! Otherwise known as "Hey I went as a can and I'm stuck under the map, I'm unkillable!"

He said he was -6 years old in 1998. Every video I’m flabbergasted at his actual age thinking I was pretty young for gmod. Such a confident and well articulated speaker I’m jealous you’ve developed these skills so quickly!

Prop Hunt and TTT were the best game modes back in the day. Now so many games have copied what Gmod started, and kids today don't even know

Thinking about my first and one of few only games of Prophunt, I remember winning us the round. I played a hider and nobody told me how to turn into a prop, so I just hid on the office map and closed a stall door, t'posing as Kliener for the whole match. Somehow nobody found me, and I hold onto that memory dearly for no particular reason.

Oh hey that’s me @13:26 👀 My version of PropHunt was inspired by the TF2 rendition. I had to push Roblox in some stupid creative ways at the time because custom characters were hardly supported and the engine wasn’t as well documented. I would delete the character’s legs so they would glide around on the floor, then I’d make the prop a hat worn by the player. Roblox didn’t allow us to control object masses at the time, so the large mass of the props made it super difficult to rotate your character, and sometimes jumping was outright impossible because the prop was too heavy. I had a lot of fun making it though, and I’m still developing stuff on Roblox today 😎 I was 13 approaching 14 when I made the game. The March 2010 date is actually just when the game’s place was made (it was used for something else previously). The game itself actually launched in August of 2012.

Prop Hunt is probably one of the best hide-and-seek gamemodes to ever exist in video game history, the idea of becoming the object itself to hide is truly unbeatable

“Old Timey Nostalgic people like me”- Ritcher Overtime

Maybe we should keep it as Kevin. He's just some guy, could be you, me, or anyone with a fun idea.

"I was -6 years old in 1998" H-how am I older than this youtuber?! Good god I feel old... (2000) 😨

0:22 I love how almost everything is just VanossGaming, it just show how dedicated they're in Gmod games.

Prey (2017) is easily the single best video game I’ve ever played, and was my gateway into the genre of Immersive Sims. It keeps me up at night knowing I’ll probably never play a game that good again.

It's wild that I'm now watching people who are younger than I am

The biggest issue of some prophunts is the lack of "miss damage", meaning you can just shoot everything without having to be strategic

If I’m not mistaken there was a prop hunt mod all the way back in the original Call of Duty 4 and that’s why they put it in CoD4 remastered.

Ah good old Prophunt. I remember binge watching GassyMexican and Seananner’s videos of them back in the day, and still rewatch them occasionally.

BABE WAKE UP NEW RICHTER OVERTIME

Vanoss and his friends are always the face of gmod prop hunt or gmod alone

Hmmm that doll moving must've been the wind. HOLY SHIT IT'S A PROP MOVING!

¨Babe, wake up. Richter posted something new!¨

guys dont replace the r with o in prop hunt, worst mistake of my life

It's wild to think that the original Hide and Seek creator made an great gamemode and suddenly vanished more than 15 years ago. Maybe he will reveal himself after this video?

Can you do video about "The Hidden" game mode? It the most underrated one

Amazing video, I love your editing dude

I've always been a fan of hide-n-seek gamemodes since I first played derivatives in various Minecraft minigame servers (Hive's "Block Hunt" and Hypixel's "Farm Hunt" were two I particularly enjoyed as a youngster), and I fondly remember a "jetpack trick" you could use with the Flamethrower in the TF2 rendition of the game mode. One part of the video I felt was a bit sloppy was the section on Fortnite. So here's a bit of clarification on prop-hunting in Fortnite: First off, the overwhelming majority Fortnite's custom game modes are community-made (the only official ones are Battle Royale, Save The World, Festival, Rocket Royale, and LEGO Fortnite). So the modes you looked at are just as unofficial as the custom servers back in the day. The item featured in community-made maps/gamemodes was added in mid-2019, the Prop-o-Matic, and was designed specifically for prophunt-type gamemodes to be made by players. That being said, Epic Games *has* included some prop-hiding items in the past to the Battle Royale mode that actually work quite well in gameplay (and I have actually seen them be useful in combat, and dying to it at least once this month alone). I've listed them in chronological order of being added for convenience. - The oldest example of a Fortnite integration of hiding as an object comes from the game's first season, with the Bush equippable. This item was present throughout the entirety of Chapter 1, and unlike future props, you could actually shoot back whilst hiding in it! It also blended in extremely well with the smaller and more vibrant bushes the C1 map had to offer, which is probably why they vaulted it in Chapter 2 (due to the island's foliage becoming more subdued in colour and also larger). It did make a brief return in November 2023 for the OG season. - A couple of items exist that let you throw down props and hide in them, and also walk around wearing them. Two that come to mind are the Creepin' Cardboard and the Sneaky Snowmando, both of which act in the exact same way and were both added during 2020. - NPCs on the map (first introduced in C2S5 in late 2020) can sell you items like heals and weapons for gold bars (obtained by looting containers, killing players, and completing bounties), and some offer special services. Some of these include more combat-oriented support like hiring them as a teammate, but the one concerning the video is the "Prop Disguise" some can sell. For 250 bars, you can be turned into a prop - some wackier props include Slurp Juice barrels, a small bouncy pile of tyres, and a mailbox. I recently died to someone using the mailbox in a junk-filled area (when I myself let my guard down trying to buy a prop disguise myself lol), and I found it hilarious, just like the old Prop Hunt days. - For a brief period in 2021 (during C2S7), an item that let you actually select what prop to use in BR was added - the Prop-ifier from C2S7. It let you pick from some wacky props again, like a gnome statue, a toilet, or a traffic cone (among others). It only lived for a month, though. Hope this clears stuff up regarding how Epic Games is involved in this saga featuring the iconic formula of hiding-and-seeking-with-funny-inanimate-objects. :)

Thank you for posting at the perfect time

Great video as always Ritcher.

The quality of these videos are insane. W youtuber

YESSS RICHTER OVERTIME FOR MY BIRTHDAY HELL YEAH!! Thank your arg boy

Haven’t started watching the video yet but just wanted to say the thumbnail goes hard. I can tell you put work in, composition is nice and it’s very eye catching, good job 📈📈

Somehow, this gave me nostaligia. I was not even there to see all this old stuff!

idk who you are and i doubt ive ever seen one of your videos, but this came across my home feed an hour after upload and hell yea man

My day always stays the same when richter uploads❤ keep it up richstone 🎉

Ritcher saying he's old at 21 makes me feel like I'm already dead.

Thank you so much for everything you do! 😀

Am I the only one that has unconsciously already watched so many Richter Overtime videos without paying attention at the channel, but videos after videos, started remembering the name and now enjoys every single one of them...

Damn, first time I've watched a video of yours. Great research and script writing, thanks for putting this together!

quality vid as always bro

God, I can't believe I was around when GMod first came out nearly 25 years ago and now I'm 30 and STILL occasionally playing it!! Beautiful.

I remember when I was starting to join a bunch of Minecraft servers (Such as Mineplex, Hypixel, The Hive and so forth) I would play their version of Prophunt called Block Hunt

Thank you for documenting Source engine history, man. It's such a vital piece of internet culture, and a nostalgic retread.

Yayyyy new Richter overtime vid

Greatest birthday present. Thank you Richter.

17:12 I really liked Witch It, the ragdoll physics & the dumb power-ups made it better than most

Your content is incredibly impressive given your young age. Keep at it, Richter!

It's crazy to see how popular prop hunt got and for a good reason it's a good game mode and I'm happy that it did because it's a game I enjoyed and loved playing it in different games like cod surprisingly but it's also in overwatch now.

Man, now I feel old. I have such great memories of Prop Hunt and many other gmod gamemodes, but I started playing gmod before version 10 (I think I started at v8) and slowly stopped playing shortly after 13, but kept watching on yt for a bit. So before it all went super viral. fascinating to see where it went after that.

The thing that feels that makes it still feel alive a bit is Vanoss, The Gaming Terrorizer, H2O Delirious, Nogla, Basically, and a few others, they’re still playing playing it all in GMOD with new maps made for Vanoss.

I play gmod prop hunt with my friends still to this day and it's been one of the most fun games for me

this video is so good

Nice video, some good research going on.

babe wake up new richter video out

Yes, thank you for this video. Playing hide and seek in counter-strike Source was my childhood. In case anyone is interested in what it was like; hide and seek wasn't a game mode or a map so you could only find a server by the title of the server so it could take a long time to find a good one. Once you got in you got a menu to the left where you could pick a huge number of items to hide as. Typically these servers were french or german so you more or less had to guess what to pick from the list. It worked just like prophunt where ct were the hunters and t were the props. I honestly miss those days sometimes but I'm happy that hide and seek ended up being so infinitely popular.

Prop Hunt was my first big gaming obsession when I got Steam way back in 2014. I racked up a good 1400 hours in Gmod by becoming part of a community that would build, for a time, *THE* most popular Prop Hunt server in Australia from 2015-2016. It was a grand old time.

I’m kinda stunned it wasn’t mentioned that the original CoD4 had a prop hunt mod, which I’m 99% sure is why it was added to the remaster.

Witch It is a game based purely around the concept of prop hunt, it has a lot of personality too with a unique art style and Halloweeny theme, that’s definitely one I’d recommend.

I remember when it was just exploding barrels in gmod

There was also a pretty big prop hunt scene on the major minecraft mini-game servers, thinking particularly of Mineplex's Block Hunt. Besides blocks, you could also be mobs, and you even choose classes that gave you different abilities. Just wanted to say that, depending on the type of game you are making to work as both prop hunt and whatever multiplayer mode you have, modes like prop hunt are a great way to teach players maps. It makes players pay attention to level geometry, prop placement, and the nooks and crannies of areas.

Very interesting!

I remember seeing jellybeam (i think that was his name) prop hunt videos, it was pure gold

Man, I would ever play Prop Hunt on Garry’s mod soon which was so popular nowadays. Really great video!

Bro is 19/20 and making some of the best content on the platform

very nice video! hopes that you can do something similar with the Gamemode TTT

Prop hunt had made so many memories, Especially the greatest Call out of all time "LIL' CAN! LIL' CAN!"

I'm horrified at the 50% chance you're younger than me (I'm also a 2004er) since your stuff is so well put together, this video especially. Keep up the good work, dude.

My man didnt mention trouble in terrorist town when talking about counter strike modding scene. A mode that eventually would lead into the meme game Amongus

"I was -6 in 1998" my guy, you are the first youtuber to make me feel old.

The joy I get when my friend walks by me, turns around and just sees a fucking vending machine running away then screaming "THAT WAS YOU?!" is immeasurable

Black ops 3 also had prophunt which came out in 2015 people would jump into random wallruns and freeze them selves so you would always need to search random tops of walls

I have no idea why, but I find myself thinking about old source mods like Suicide Survival, Zombie Panic Source, The Hidden Source and many others on a monthly basis. The nostalgia was strong with Prop Hunt too.

omfg, I remember playing box war. what a nostalgia trip! damn termites! born in 91.

PropHunter, the one with the red and blue name-logo, seems to be one of the best standalone prop hunt games on Steam. Wicked good fun!

honestly i forgot this video was about prop hunt and got invested in these funny box mods made 30 years ago lol

1. HOORAY RICHTER OVERTIME IS BACK!!!!! WE LOVE RICHTER!!! 2. i loveeee prop huntttt 3. prop hunt

Great video! Really enjoyed the research that went into it. Would love to see a video on The Hidden Sourcemod! Another source engine mod/game that I loved watching SeaNanners play in the early 2010s but hasn't seen the same level of success and longevity as prop hunt

Its always funny seeing Vanoss Videos appearing as 90% of the videos whenever someone talking about Gmod and pulls up a list of videos on the screen

Woah its a richter overtime video, like the dacoobers cutaway gag

I actually burst out laughing when I heard dacoobers talking earlier on in the video 😂

WAKE UP BABE, NEW RICHTER OVERTIME VID WAS UPLOADED

Richter first playing Gmod at age 6 is crazy to me, when I was that age all I played online was flash games on toy websites.

Babe wake up new rhictor overtime vid just dropped

Do you think you will ever make a video on Jazztronauts?

I remember playing Blox Hunt on Roblox back in 2015 or 2016 (my roblox memories are kind of foggy) and (yet) I remember it being so fun and tense hiding from the seekers.

Kevin: a forgotten legend.

I remember playing some prop hunt called hide'n'seek in nonsteam cs 1.6 back in 2007-2008. CS 1.6 amx mods were fun, HNS, KZ, paintball, soccerjam, zombie swarm and plague... what a time.

Prop Hunt and Gmod legit introduced me into a whole new world of gaming. Man, simpler times...

There was prophunt for Call of Duty 4 back in 2014. As you can see by Vanossgaming videos on it.

Dark Souls 2 and 3 also had an official prop hunt mode, well not really a mode but rather there's an item that allowed you to turn into a prop which was super handy to not only hide from player invaders but to also observe what they had equipped.

0:12 POSTAL 2 MUSIC???

This, Gmod Hide and Seek, or Sandbox used to make NUMBERS on KZfaq back during the early-mid 2010s era of KZfaq gaming.

That banger of an outro song is now in my Spotify playlist

Prop Hunt was my introduction to Gmod. Currently I'm really into "atmospheric horror" maps.

Highly recommend playing Prey (Arkane), not for the Prop Hunt mode, but for the standard game, or even the Moon DLC Roguelite Mode afterwards.

14:06 dang getting nostalgia flash banged by old minecraft thumbnails while witching a history of prop hunt was not something i expected

It's nice that you used the main theme of Stanley Parable at the beggining of the video👍

2:17 it's due to your regions streaming restrictions. However other streaming services can have different agreements to show different shows but not some that Netflix might have in the same region and vice versa

The Childhood of Gmod

The cortex command ost hit me like a brick off an overpass

gotta say Richter, this was a pretty great video :3 it was informative, fun, it didn't devolve into a whining soapbox about modern gaming, and it gave a lot of interesting insight to this fun mod that certainly brought me much joy vicariously through funny entertaining people.
