NOTE: This page is about the creation of mods. If you want to learn more about the mods available on GimForge, visit the section.
What it is:
A modloader and desktop app for Gimkit
A simple API for building Gimkit mods
Designed for improving the Gimkit Creative map editor
What it isn't:
Useful for cheating
A tool for using custom assets in Gimkit Creative
Built for non-2D gamemodes
There are 2 reasons, one being technical, and another being non-technical.
The first reason is that the modloader loads mods as javascript files, and doesn't have a way (other than base64 URLs, but that would destroy the file size of mods) to load any mod assets.
The second reason Josh himself has even told me (and I agree with) is that it could lead to seriously problematic assets being used. Team Fortress 2 has suffered from this problem already with its custom image features.
