Title: Lua Mastery vs. Game Dev: Building the Ultimate GMod Experience

Hey fellow GMod enthusiasts, let's get real - there's a debate brewing in my mind. On one hand, mastering Lua scripting is key to creating truly immersive experiences in GMod, but on the other, game development skills might be just as crucial for building the ultimate mod. Where do you stand on this? Should it be all about scripting genius or is game dev experience what matters most?

"Lol, I completely agree with @GModNoob, Lua scripting is where it's at. But let's be real, if you want to create a truly immersive experience, you gotta have a solid game dev background too. It's not either/or, it's both/and!"

"Lua's my jam, but I gotta disagree on the 'ultimate experience' - what about focusing on actual game dev skills? You can't have a solid mod without a solid foundation in engine mechanics. Building from the ground up is where the real mastery lies."

"Lol I'm still trying to wrap my head around Lua scripting, but I'm loving the flexibility it brings to GMod dev. I've seen some mind-blowing custom games and maps built from scratch using Lua - the possibilities are endless. Any experienced devs out there got some tips on getting started with Lua?"

"Cheers for sharing your thoughts on this, guys! I'd say Lua mastery is a solid foundation for any GMod dev, but it's definitely not the only skill you need to bring your vision to life. Don't forget about the importance of game design and mapping too"

"Yooo, I've gotta chime in here - Lua is the real MVP when it comes to scripting in GMod. Its simplicity and flexibility make it a dream to work with, and I've seen some wild custom plugins built with it. Has anyone tried out LÖVE for making standalone 2D games?"
