Cowl's Mod 7 is currently in planning, but features to add on my to-do list are limited.

Cowl's Mod 6 has been out for a while now. It's relatively decent, however there are obvious flaws I plan to fix in 7. The only thing about Cowl's Mod 7 is it's probably gonna take a long time, depending on wanted features.

Currently, Cowl's Mod 6 is both good and bad. The Physics Gun is here, a huge spawn menu, and decent map selection. However, you currently can't save your game, and I kinda hate that. So, with CMod 7, I plan to fix that along with some other things. I'm also thinking about reducing the scale of 'major' updates. Map updates and such will be considered major if I'm adding more than 2 maps.

Basically, the 'Major Map Update' thing goes like this: for example, if I add 3 maps to Cowl's Mod after Cowl's Mod 7, that would be Cowl's Mod 8. HOWEVER, I don't want every update to just be a map update. The next couple updates after 7 will be simple map updates, but that really won't be for long. By at LEAST CMod 10 (yes 10 is planned, major updates up to 15.0 are at least in extreme early planning) there will be an actual proper MAJOR update with many added features. I really wanna revamp the spawn menu to display the actual prop you're spawning aswell, similar to Garry's Mod (legit my second favourite game).

But at it's core, Cowl's Mod is literally just a project by a 15 year old who likes Garry's Mod tinkering with the Source Engine. I made this mod when I was 14, which is around 2 years younger than JB55 was when he made JBMod (which is a pretty decent mod too).

Ultimately, if I end up reducing the scale of the major updates (which no doubt I will), CMod 7 will come out as is. CMod 6.1 will probably be cancelled for 7.

Anyway, that's it for this weird dev log/rant thing. I hope you guys at least kinda enjoyed CMod 6, despite the flaws.

Also here's the official Cowl's Mod 7 background (YES, it was made in Garry's Mod. That doesn't really matter though, since I've already said that the project is a GMod tribute project):
