That's normal.
We're not competing to copy features; we're building our own culture and community.
The project's history is public: the website, publications, early contributors, and initial discussions.
If people have started copying me, it only confirms that SA:MP has truly reached a plateau and new approaches are needed.
Being first isn't the launch date, but the moment when an idea takes root, and imitation is always recognition.
I could have developed this project in silence, shutting myself off from the developers, not talking about the idea, and not reaching out to the audience until the launch. Many people do that—and there's nothing wrong with that.
I started talking about my project publicly from the very beginning because I believe it's important not to hide or pretend that everything is "coming out of nowhere." We build an audience early on, get to know each other, talk, and honestly show what we're building and why.
It's important to me that people know: this project exists, is developing, and is open to dialogue. We don't operate in the shadows and aren't afraid of questions. If someone disagrees, that's okay. An open source project always generates a lot of discussion, especially in 2026.
I'm confident that we're not only the first global SA:MP project in terms of concept, but also the first to be built openly for the entire audience from the very beginning.
We've been creating and communicating this openly—from the very beginning.
