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!
I'm always surprised to realize Richter is a year younger than me, I feel like I'm so young and yet here I am enjoying old Source nostalgia from someone a little younger than me!
i was -13 lol
I was 9...
HES ONLY A YEAR OLDER THAN ME??? WTF
That made me stop and pull out a calculator. He was born in 2004, oh my god who let a baby on the internet?
He's 20. I'm officially old.
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 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

Gmod is the skibidi toilet game don’t lie to yourself
TTT is my guilty pleasure
And? Its fun. Its important to know your roots, but its not necessary. You probably didnt knew half life or quake versions or even css one so yea man
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.
LOL
he broke the meta
I remember playing and people would just go to up something above the field of view of the hunters, no one ever looks up, so they would win even as Kleiner T-posing...
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

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.

Childhood memory is slowly coming back to me
It's wild that I'm now watching people who are younger than I am
Dude same
Yep! Gf and i had the same realization. Really weird.
yeah right lol I never even imagined this would be a possibility even though it's kinda inevitable when you think about it
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.
There is, especially with Vanossgaming videos of it back in 2014, i thought i was only one who noticed that.
Vanoss and his friends are always the face of gmod prop hunt or gmod alone
For me, prop hunt is always synonymous with Seananners and his gang
@@Slaxckson understandable
For me is just Vanoss and friends
They're still playing gmod?
Well i wouldn't know since they kicked me out of all they're chats @pyroskar6797
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. :)
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

a new richter overtime!? no way!!1!!!11!11!!!1111!1!!
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?
Hmmm that doll moving must've been the wind. HOLY SHIT IT'S A PROP MOVING!
WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS THAT PROP MOVING THAT MUST BE A HACKER!!!!!1

¨Babe, wake up. Richter posted something new!¨
Amazing video, I love your editing dude
Can you do video about "The Hidden" game mode?
It the most underrated one
I had COMPLETELY forgotten about The Hidden!
For as little known as it was, it was fun!
Hopefully your comment gets noticed.
Thank you for posting at the perfect time
Great video as always Ritcher.
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 📈📈
The quality of these videos are insane. W youtuber
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.
My day always stays the same when richter uploads❤ keep it up richstone 🎉
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
YESSS RICHTER OVERTIME FOR MY BIRTHDAY HELL YEAH!!
Thank your arg boy
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
Thank you so much for everything you do! 😀
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.
Damn, first time I've watched a video of yours. Great research and script writing, thanks for putting this together!
Nice video, some good research going on.
Greatest birthday present. Thank you Richter.
quality vid as always bro
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.
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.
Ritcher saying he's old at 21 makes me feel like I'm already dead.
Thank you for documenting Source engine history, man. It's such a vital piece of internet culture, and a nostalgic retread.
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...
this video is so good
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.
Yayyyy new Richter overtime vid
Highly recommend playing Prey (Arkane), not for the Prop Hunt mode, but for the standard game, or even the Moon DLC Roguelite Mode afterwards.
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
17:12 I really liked Witch It, the ragdoll physics & the dumb power-ups made it better than most
I play gmod prop hunt with my friends still to this day and it's been one of the most fun games for me
babe wake up new richter video out
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.
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.
There was prophunt for Call of Duty 4 back in 2014. As you can see by Vanossgaming videos on it.
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
I remember seeing jellybeam (i think that was his name) prop hunt videos, it was pure gold
I remember when it was just exploding barrels in gmod
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.
That banger of an outro song is now in my Spotify playlist
whats the song?

"I was -6 in 1998"
my guy, you are the first youtuber to make me feel old.
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
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.
Man, I would ever play Prop Hunt on Garry’s mod soon which was so popular nowadays. Really great video!
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.
oh damn I'm early to a Richter vid. Nice.
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
Very interesting!
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

3. prop hunt
Lil darkie fan detected
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.
Woah its a richter overtime video, like the dacoobers cutaway gag
I was 7 in 1998….
Prop hunt had made so many memories, Especially the greatest Call out of all time
"LIL' CAN! LIL' CAN!"
Prop Hunt and Gmod legit introduced me into a whole new world of gaming.
Man, simpler times...
aw richter is such a big boy now that he can shill, way to go champ
I am almost 18 and plan on being a youtuber, just as a hobby, and noting how actually young you are when you mentioned you were negative six, I'm inspired to possibly be able to do what you do in only 2 short years
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!
Babe wake up new rhictor overtime vid just dropped
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.
0:12 POSTAL 2 MUSIC???
MAP MUZAK!
omfg, I remember playing box war. what a nostalgia trip! damn termites! born in 91.
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
Kevin: a forgotten legend.
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.
BABE WAKE UP! NEW RICHTER OVERTIME VIDEO!!
I only wake up when Ratlobber upload
Hide and Seek is a game so written into our DNA that we seek it out no matter what form it's in
Note, there are two Prey games, one from 2006 and the one in the video from 2017.
who really asked tho? he's talking about prophunt, not about native americans going to space and then have the old guy become a god and shit. good riddance that beth just made a completely different game with the ip name
Prop Hunt was my introduction to Gmod. Currently I'm really into "atmospheric horror" maps.
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.
honestly i forgot this video was about prop hunt and got invested in these funny box mods made 30 years ago lol
i have schizophrenia, nice video by the way.
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
hi richter! huge fan :) you prbly wont see this but keep up the good work!!!!! luv ur vids :)
yo prey is actually such a good game im glad you showed it lol
It's nice that you used the main theme of Stanley Parable at the beggining of the video👍
This, Gmod Hide and Seek, or Sandbox used to make NUMBERS on TH-cam back during the early-mid 2010s era of TH-cam gaming.
