When?May be way better platform then Second life open popen server or gmod 80gb 512px textures 10fps slop for mare marening
Fuck off, Gary.
>>43206774How much does Source 2 licensing costs? I'm not playing that roblox sausage clone and rather have direct access to the engine itself. I presume its cheaper as source 1 licensing needs you to pay HAVOC and BLINK.
>>43206774is there vulkan support yet?
>>43206774Is the game even any good? The only thing I've seen about it were those fuck ugly models.
>>43206774Let me know if it becomes an actual game and not some parasocial erpfest.
>>43206789that just roblox 2 (game engine based on source 2 with server list)
>>43206774Tr&box floppedMight as well go to cockblox proper
>>43206789>$20 for a worse version of Roblox
>>43206782It's not for sale
>>43206782S2 is not finished, unironically wait for HL3 to come out this year
>>43206912>wait for HL3 to come out this yearYeah fucking right. If that happens I'll unironically go to a convention.
>>43206975C'mon, strawberryfren, don't you have some HOPE in you?
>>43206985No. No I fucking don't. And even if Half Life 3 does miraculously come out, it's probably gonna fucking suck.
>>43206912>implying
>>43206912Tumor weeks, trvst the plan
>>43206838So when is it going f2p?
>>43207101Hopefully soon, no way this game will succeed costing $20
>>43207101Two years, if it even survives that long
>>43207164>Two yearsHow optimistic.
>>43206774is it good
>>43207476No
Tangentially related those sausage designs are so ugly why would you ever want your marketing to so prominently display those things. Jesus. I get you can make whatever but I bet at least a few ten thousand sales were lost because of how hideous the sausages are
>>43206774Games made "just for modding" with no clear "foundation" are destined to fail. A good example of this is Minetest/Luanti that has people divided between MCL, MTG and their own custom "games" real GMod2 is only possible as a HL3 mod
>>43207464Garry Jewman said so, not me
>>43208220Wait if its planned to go F2P why even buy the game now???
>>43208144>Games made "just for modding" with no clear "foundation" are destined to fail.Roblox is right there.
>>43208464it has movement, characters and other small bits available from day 1sbox doesn't even know if it wants sausage men or normal human beings
>>43208464And is now dying quickly since January 1st 2020, their stock is still below the start of when they started publicly trading 5 years ago. If you don’t know here’s what jewery they didFirst it was the >mandatory age verification to access chat. Killed off roleplaying or interacting with others in non-braindead ways entirely via age segregation and its god awful AI flagging underage and overage users backwards, somehow people are fine with there being no chat but that’s probably because they’re soulless or don’t care. >ontop of the chat age verification garbage, they added unreadable message spam which consists of a padlock and a bunch of •••••• that can’t be disabled. now this might’ve gotten many users to leave but it didn’t cripple the platform yet because of the aforementioned goyim who’re fine having chat flooded with garbage. The real crippling begins here>Around this month or a month ago, Roblox announces a 5$/mo USD subscription requirement coupled with ID verification to reach broader audiences, I.e anyone under 16, even if you have a under 16 account this means you cannot access your own games until you pay up and ID verify. I had a good 12 years on Roblox, but Celestia damn me I didn’t expect them to throw everything they had under the bus for money. I haven’t touched the platform in its entirety since the start of this year.
>>43208653*2026I’m retarded, anyway back in 2025 I only played like 1-2 games tops, and with all the bullshit going on they’re definitely not going to cuck out to the new requirements and will just instead quickly die off. I still wonder how that faggot Hexcede thinks his only option in life is to try making money on Roblox instead of do anything else, talented coder, but he should definitely emigrate.
>>43208445garry wants money money money
>>43208445Presumably to enter the gamemaker arms race early (despite the fact that some people were already give EA before, only to have it revoked for """inactivity""") and rake in the money before anyone elseBut now it doesn't even matter because this shit has flopped spectacularly and is only filled with vibecoded crypto grift games, even after being semi-accessible for ~5 years
>>43208786>Presumably to enter the gamemaker arms race earlySo... why isn't it F2P if he wants to truly capture that market an to get rid of the crypto grifter shit games on it with good games?
>>43208653So no Roblox GFs for you anymore :c
>>43208464>Roblox is right there.I will never play ROBLOX ever again since they got rid of the unique art style, rounded studs and stencil lighting for some ugly ass modern dynamic lighting and god awful textures. 2006-2012 is the only good times for ROBLOX.
>>43208835Once they killed tix I knew that shit was a lost cause.
>>43208823>why isn't it F2PBecause he's a jew of a highest degreeSuckerbox was on life support and actively losing him money up until this month where it got around 500k bucks dumped into it for some last second touch-ups>an to get rid of the crypto grifter shit games on it with good games?Funny part is, he probably doesn't want that, at least if you go by his official Facepunch dicksword devs promoting use of AI and vibecodingHis entire system pays you for playercount/their playtime, which incentivizes making low-effort slop rather than putting effort only to get outshadowed by some Steal a Brainrot copycat
>>43206774>be beholden to Garry's whimsno thanks
>>43206789>>43208067Pretty much this. Who thought that those eye-searing models were a good idea? Even GrubHub ad was more pleasant looking.
>>43208869>Who thought that those eye-searing models were a good idea?Gary since he was so bedridden to keep it which cost him any chance of the game going mainstream.
>>43208869Garry caved in and added normal humans, but explicitly made them look just as ugly and then memoryholed them to push sausage downies even harder
>>43208848I still find it amusing there still are people defending removing tix because "muh people using alts to fix farm". Like geez retard, have fun having to spend actual money to even get something like a shirt or pants which you could of got usually in 1-2 with the daily 10 tix!
>>43208067>>43208869>>43206789Oh yeah I was looking into it a while ago and he said he modelled them after ugly contestants from British game shows in the 80's and 90's. He thought it was funny and liked the idea of having a really fucking ugly looking character model, so it was intentional. Apparently once the criticism was rolling in his son adored them too much and thought they were funny so he wanted to keep them in for him, but I could be rusty on that.>>43207101>>43208445He said in two years or so. I think the 20 dollar fee is in part to help fund the "playfund" idea he has. It's where the more people play your game, the more you get paid out of a pool of money other players have spent on the game. It's one of the big reasons there's a lot of slop on there right now, actually. It's supposed to be a counter measure against MTX to encourage people to make actually engaging games rather than making people pay for shit, since Roblox became a p2w hell. We'll see where it goes, but some of the slop is at least mildly funny.>>43208912I think the normal humans were added pretty early on in development for the Gmod fans. I will say there is some lighting jank in the way the humans look, game could maybe use some tiny prettying up but the lighting and shading has looked nice from what I've seen around.>>43207476Kek. I say this as someone who was excited for it for years and still has interest in playing it - probably not. If you like dumpster diving and finding cool novel Source 2 flash games with a chatroom attached, it could be cool, but christ it crashes a lot and I bought the game and it won't even fucking start on my PC. Others have the issue too apparently. Garry made a post about how it's extremely flawed at the moment but he just wanted to get it out the door at some point since it's been years. Take that as you will, I think he'll eventually fix it up but also seriously take a good look at it before you consider buying it. It's kind of a mess at the moment.
>>43208972>his sonSo basically the same thing the corrupt CEOs do, which ineviably riun the franchise?
>>43209012Kek. I dunno if the ugly sausage dudes will "ruin" anything but I think there's an argument to be made he could put the human player models more front and center in more of the game. We'll have to see how people respond; so far the response is kind of negative to the character designs but I think the fact the game is still literally unplayable for people like me and is really fucking messy at the moment are a much bigger existential threat to the game.
Good morning!
>Glimmy simulator is already thereGame of the Year.
get on it guys, make the mlp game here
>>43209244Sure Anon. I'll get right on it as soon as I learn to code, draw and find someone willing to lobotomize me so I'm stupid enough to buy this piece of shit game.
>>43209244This fandom can't into gamemaking, on top of needing to dump 20 buckeroos for a subpar pseudo-source 2 option
>>43209267We made an invisible pact where every effort at gamemaking is to flounder and fail, in exchange for us eventually getting Equestria Online
>>43209265I got it for free for beta testing it for maybe 30 minutes like 5 years ago
>>43209310didn't garry revoke the majority of keys if you didn't buy something or make a game?
>>43209327Guess I got lucky, even got a beta tester shirt item in my steam inventory
>>43209310>I got it for free for beta testing it for maybe 30 minutes like 5 years agoMy condolences
>>43209344Is it a tradeable cosmetic for sosig retards? Those go for such astronimical prices you'd think Garry is laundering money through microtransactions.
>>43209384nope, it's just an item I can put on a model
>>43209399>the reward for beta testing his game is a plain shirt and dirty panties seemingly found in a trash binKekaroo
>>43209399>workshop itemWTF???
>>43206774>>43209244also I'd love to play a pony thing with people, even if it was just some god awful janky mod for another game where people took the code and put ponies into it. My biggest concern would be how S&box handles copyrighted content. I dunno if the whole playfund thing makes it so a pony game counts as profiting off of someone elses IP.I know in the early days S&box's freebuild seemed promising for just being able to drag and drop 3d models into the game window to spawn things and live code mods in the actual freebuild mode itself. It seems more of a spotlight is cast on the actual game development side at the moment, but if we can just violently shitpost and make really awful stuff in Ponyville together someday I'd be really down. It even has native VR support if I remember correctly, which could be novel for those of us that have it.
>>43209452But here is the problem cutiebuns. We want to shitpost in s&box, but without (YOU). You are not invited to our shitposting session with the boys.
>>43209452there was that one pony ss13 server. i hope to revive it in the coming months, i feel like it was the perfect petri dish
>>43209462You aren't welcome either flagnigger.
>>43209462You are welcome here flagchad.
>>43209472ss13's a dead medium on a dying game host (BYOND), and its codebase was off of nu-tg code which compromised it with lag and bullshit tranny-rage fueled nerfs (and gay shit like "shading" that slows the server to a crawl, etc, fermichem which makes making chems a pain in the ass, etc). SS14 will have to be utilized if we want any chance, there is a alt-hub where we hopefully can host a server where nigger, faggot, etc don't get you striken down because the main hub is pozzed to hell and back regarding dehubbing. Only problem is spriting/code will have to be made from scratch, unlike just porting the april fools code from /tg/. Since I'm a post ssethtide faggot, maybe using a 2019 build of /tg/station won't go too bad? Since lowpop is a given, we most definitely want to support lowpop rounds, ss13/14 aren't built around rounds lasting hours either which will happen if ponies can't do or take antag roles effectively.
>>43209462ilu schizobell>>43209472>>43209489Oh yeah, I'm out of touch with the SS13 drama but it's a shame from what I've heard of it. It was a core part of 4chan culture in the 2010's.>>43209493Holy shit, that takes me back. That was played constantly on /v/ back in the day. A pony version of that could be pretty novel, but it does sound like it'd take work.
>>43209489i agree with the SS14 solution intuitively, though it's a shame how much less feature complete it is. probably a lot better for getting people to actually join and play though. i'm quite willing to get cracking on it, however i see no reason why we wouldn't able to just take assets from the SS13 april fools thing? honestly if we are to do this, one could try to be a little more ambitious. left is the /tg/ april fool assets. right is some random thing i found on derpibooru. left is more compatible with human hairs and... that's about it. right, in my personal opinion, is cuter. might be nice to have an entire server of ponies looking like that? also potentially worthy of consideration: old ss13 pony server actually had commissioned some changeling sprites and kirin sprites. i don't think anything came out of it though, and it'd be a waste to let them vanish into the void. (for posterity: https://files.catbox.moe/1a48cp.png)
>>43209505>but it does sound like it'd take work.Yeah, lots to convert. Could do with changing the icons and text to ponies but to add in new pony mechanics would take time and balancing.
>>43209536share the git
>>43209539https://git.baseddpt.com/baseddpt/mafiait's private, I can drop the .zip of the git in catbox or whatever
>>43209543https://u.pone.rs/pavmsnxe.zipHere it is, /v/illage source code incase someone is willing to convert it to pony.
>People would rather talk about some other game in the bl&box threadLmao
>>43209530we could probably take the ss13 sprites, but all code/etc is gone since SS14 runs off of C# or something and BYOND runs off of some weird lua language.
>>43209601Oh kek, I was just happy to encourage anons to get together and have fun. I can't even fucking boot the game up still so I sadly can't contribute much on my experiences, but some of the slop looked at least funny if you have the sense of humor to laugh about it.
>>43206995This. Half-Life: Alyx's retcon was fucking awful.
>>43209613B-but I like HLA
>>43209707Certain things in it are pretty good, but that ending was dogshit.
>>43209707I still gotta get to it. Christ, I got my Index in 2020 and never managed to start it up.I'm hoping the VR in S&box ends up being fun someday.
>>43209244>>43209265I think you better off making a really good roblox game or just godot that shit since these two are easier to learn.
>>43206774>May benot free, not well documented either so nobody's going to use it
>>43206774okay i've played in it, lol fucking beta test for 20 bux lagiing hard from 30 props on my 4080 gaming chair setup. NO REALOAD SOUNDS ON STANDART WEAPONS Refunded da game untill somepony add ponypussy and mares in general. A lot tf2 stuff in UGC addons but not a single one mare model. This is fucking crime
>>43210220where are the creative unique games that arent hacks chasing after the popular thing to copy it in hopes of some of the dripple of money (and cum) to their mouths
>>43206774How long will it take to port everything gmares uses to Source 2?
>>432104482 more weeks.
