S&Box: More Than Just a Game

Contrary to previous articles and messages you may have seen S&Box it’s not just a sequel to Garry’s Mod but a complete package for creating immersive gaming experiences. But with so much anticipation, you might have some questions. So, I dug into their FAQ page to find some answers!

When will it be released?

S&Box’s developers aren’t in a rush to release the platform, as they want to ensure it’s perfect before it hits the market. There’s no specific release date, but they’ll know when it’s ready, and we’ll all be eagerly waiting.

How much will it cost?

The team at Facepunch Studios hasn’t decided on a price for S&Box yet. They’re focusing on creating a fantastic platform that’ll be worth every penny, whatever the price may be.

What about the workshop?

S&Box won’t use a workshop system. Instead, they’re developing a platform called Asset.Party, which eliminates the need to install addons. It’s like streaming videos on YouTube – you download only what you need.

How can I get access to the developer preview?

Access to the developer preview is limited, but there are two ways you can try to get in. You can sign up for the Developer Preview Torture Service, which requires owning Garry’s Mod on your Steam account and having a high tolerance for disappointment. Alternatively, you can post in the megathread on the forums, where Facepunch staff regularly grant access to the most dedicated and talented individuals.

Can I sell my addons or games?

S&Box aims to make it easier for the community to earn money through their creations. Although the exact monetization system hasn’t been finalized, some options under consideration include microtransactions, unlocking or buying games, tips or donations, revenue sharing, and selling standalone games on Steam.

Why not use Unity or Unreal Engine?

Facepunch Studios has a sentimental attachment to the Source engine, and Source 2 offers a modern renderer and updated tools like ModelDoc and Animgraph. While using Unity or Unreal Engine might have been cheaper and easier, the team’s passion lies with the Source engine.

What’s with the sausage-headed player models?

Love ’em or hate ’em, the quirky sausage-headed player models are here to stay. However S&Box will also include other player models, giving game developers the freedom to choose their preferred character designs.
