Roadmap

Where Side Hustle is and where it is going. Items below "Planned" are intentions, not promises.

Shipped - 1.3.0

Conflict-free mod sets. A gamemode can declare which other mods it works with (ModPolicy with AllowedMods / RequiredMods). Side Hustle launches it in a temporary, isolated profile that loads only those mods - after a confirmation listing exactly what changes - and switches back to your full set when you leave. Your installed mods are never disabled, renamed or moved, so your mod manager stays in sync and a normal launch always loads everything. The relaunch, in and out, is automatic.

Multiplayer launch. Multiplayer and Hybrid gamemodes show a Singleplayer / Host / Join choice, rendered in the native menu style. Hosting opens a public lobby with a player-count picker.
Public server browser. Find and join open sessions, filtered by gamemode id so each gamemode only lists its own lobbies. Bigger lobbies are supported with BiggerLobbies.
World gamemodes. For GamemodeSurface.World gamemodes, Side Hustle boots a throwaway session outside your save slots so a gamemode can use the actual game world without touching a real save.
Richer launch context. Gamemodes receive the host/client role, lobby id, player count, host name and the host's settings.
List polish. A Singleplayer / Multiplayer / SP + MP badge per gamemode, optional per-gamemode icons, and a recently-played ordering.

Main-menu hub. A single "Side Hustle" entry lists every installed gamemode mod (name, description, author) and launches the selected one.
No savegame. Gamemodes run in their own self-contained session and never load or alter your saves.
Singleplayer launch + clean return. OnLaunchSingleplayer starts a mode; LaunchContext.ReturnToHub brings the player back to the menu.
Public, load-order-independent API. SideHustle.API.Register(GamemodeDescriptor) works whether your mod loads before or after the hub.
Hide toggle. Turn the menu entry off without uninstalling.
