>releases in 20 days>no hype whatsoeverAnother game killed by keeping it in early access for 5 years until the hype died out
There were way more mistakes.Why did they insist in the sausages with hyper realistic hands?What are they bringing to the table that gmod can't already do other than way worse optimization? They did zero marketing on this.Where are the servers?
>>736641880Im buying it. It genuinely seems interesting
>>736641880Not buying it solely because of the ugly characters.
>>736641880If theres all the old game modes then ill get back into Gmod. As long as it still has the server browser and everything. Just gotta make sure it is front and centre to the experience and the roblox thing is in the back. I still dislike not using Half Life models by default though.
>>736641880would never even consider playing it because the character models are so dogshit hideous
>>736641880Absolutely horrible name.
>>736641880It isn't a game. It is basically a devkit made for Source 2 and it isn't very good because Source has some huge limitations. It functions well in certain situations but you might as well build your own engine or resort to unreal slop because the amount of C++ you have to shit out to get things functional is pretty bad.t. Vibe coding retard who has been self learning to make a video game for about a year now
>>736641880sex box?what?
>>736641880So how is this different than VRchat with ugly models?
>>736642860I thought S&box used C# ?
>>736642990Yeah it does, I was thinking source 2 being in C++. As I said I am a vibe coding a retard who doesn't know fully what i'm talking about but the main issues I had when I was using was getting the chunking and proxy shit working. It is like an engine built on top of an engine. I had more luck with Godot but switched to Unreal because it is insanely easy to use. I probably vibe coded less after switching to Unreal. My game will probably never release but I hope it does so I can hire actual talented people to make the game I want to play that no one has the vision to make.
>>736642089No you aren't, no it doesn't.
>>736641880>Spiritual successor to Garry's Mod>It's just clunkier Roblox, a game that came out BEFORE Garry's Mod>And the default art style looks like sausage party
The name is dogshit. I and probably everyone else keep reading it "S and Box"
It will live and die on gamemodes, anyone complaining about default assets in a sandbox is braindead.All it takes is one viral game mode played by the right streamer and its the next big thing
I thought Gary got rid of those ugly characters.Also it's gonna die pretty quickly because S&Box has less compatible games compared to GMOD.
>Source 2 base SDK>But Garry "I killed Gmod" Newman is parasitically attached to it and has legal leverage over anything you release with it>Windows only Dev tools for making shit so nobody's gonna make shitNobody serious is going to want to touch this shitYou'd legitimately be spending your time better fucking with de-vr'd alyx or CS:2
Gmod has legacy to keep it relevantRoblox is what all the kids use for their "make your own personal fun" gameso what does this bring to the table to get people to play it?
>>736641880More like B& if you use something naughty like a raep SWEP.
>>736641880Gmod was successful when it came out because it filled a niche in a time before Roblox, VRChat, or even Minecraft. Now in 2026, those games all exist, are popular, and accomplish everything Gmod did while also just being far better in pretty much every way. There's nothing s&box can do to standout from the existing competition. Especially not with those ugly ass sausage models.
Supposedly they were going to have standard human models to throw into all of this too but it looks like everything was so primed around the sausage people. Garry really can't luck into success again, especially since Source 2 through his method/tools works like total dogshit.
>>736641880Sausage Survivors 2 was kinda fun
Im not 13 anymore. Building cars out of trash and griefing people doesnt appeal to me anymore unfortunately
garry wants to turn s&box into the next robloxhttps://youtu.be/EZY1KsPwiHQ
>kills facepunch forums and its entire built-in fanbasehey garry, seems like maybe that was a shitty idea huh? was it really worth it?
>>736641880the name is terribleS&box? wtf are you thinking garry
>>736646308>garry wants to turn s&box into the next robloxthis entire video is contrary to this lol. the video you linked explains how this is closer to a unity/unreal engine competitor than a roblox/fortnite competitor
>>736646440Who's saying that the two are mutually exclusive?
>>736646492uhhh me? saying it's "like roblox" implies there is some sort of central nexus where you are required to play games created in s&box, whereas the main point of the video is that games made inside of s&box can be released on actual storefronts
>>736646601The distinction is basically negligible if you know about the current legal status of game engines and middleware.
>>736646601Sounds like s&box is aiming to compete with both game development pipelines.
>>736646308Why do the sausage men look like purposefully grotesque caricatures? Who's going to want to buy a cosmetic for that thing, seriously? They could work if they were designed to look simple and silly
>>736646384It's S(and)box, Garry is dad now
>>736646729garry saw puppet shows like this and thought that it was the funniest shit ever
>>736641880Gmod has like a bajillion mods - sweps, vehicles, NPCs, playermodels, maps. It will take years before S&box gets to the same level of content after release.
>>736646694>accessibility and marketplace a game is available in are "negligible" to a game's success or ability to form a cohesive brandyeah okay buddy>>736646718I would agree with this, it's just the framing of "like roblox" that I disagree with.
>>736641880>Our spiritual failure to Garry's Mod
>>736646845Uh yeah, the entire reason Source is fucked beyond the internet dying is because middleware in it is owned by Epic and Microsoft now.
I will just wait and see, though it's hard to think they will be ever capture the same feeling as Garry mod
>>736641880>Roblox in DLSS 5
>>736647148I mean aside from the state of the internet now, getting the same feeling as Garrysmod is extremely easy, it's literally just a lua game engine glued onto HL2:DM which let linux devs and devs in general make shit without having to fuck with the Source SDK or Sourcemod.The real "issue" is that making something like gmod would be bad for monetization.
>>736646440Epic's focus with UE at the moment is being in the same space as Roblox. Horse's mouth. If it's in the same space as UE, it's in the same space as Roblox.
