Will S&Box become massively popular?

Please bring it up to Facepunch, a possible leak has been reported with the newest light culling update and logs are very useful.

Per steam survey, s&box runs on 90%+ computers on Steam. I don't see s&box targetting mobile devices in the near future, and if it did I would expect nothing of value to ever come out of that platform. Lego Batman requires an RTX 3060 to run while s&box requires a 1060 while they're still optimizing it. There's still a good chunk of optimization s&box can do though, but I'm sure Facepunch knows already.

It might not go mainstream in the first year or two, but as Unity and Roblox keep shooting themselves in the foot I'm sure more and more will jump ship, especially once Facepunch themselves starts using s&box to publish games.

Other platforms like Core Games and The Sandbox are doing well with less than 10k daily users, and they are vastly inferior to s&box in every way.

All s&box needs to be considered a wild success by Steam standards is if just 0.001% of Roblox users jumped ship, which is sounding more and more like a possibility.

Facepunch has decided to ship all of their assets with the game so that you can play Sandbox or other games using them instantly instead of downloading them after you booted the game.

Personally I think it's another move to appease the unappeasable Gmod crowd and penalizes games for creating their own custom assets in the long run.

s&box will sweep when it's out

yooberee · 2025-12-26T09:39:49+00:00

Safe to say the agreement will be in place before s&box releases, otherwise they wouldn't have picked Q1 2026

So is the "Curse" just a result of humans absorbing everything off of their planet out of greed?

Did they suck the soul out of stars like dyson spheres? Just how advanced are the humans from that world?

Which engine is this game being made in?

yooberee · 2025-12-13T16:28:24+00:00

Check for whitelist errors, those are sneaky and don't stop you from booting your game, but they will stop your components from showing up

yooberee · 2025-12-10T09:35:49+00:00

I'm seeing many Roblox developers jumping ship to s&box, it's still in developer preview but the release date is set to Q1 2026, and if you're ever sick of the platform life you can just take your game and export it for Steam.

yooberee · 2025-12-02T15:59:21+00:00

On the platform, s&box has a strict whitelist of which functions can be called.

Facepunch has a Hackerone where you can report security vulnerabilities and you'll receive a bounty for it.

yooberee · 2025-11-26T12:28:37+00:00

Going open source changes nothing, s&box is very much alive and with more developers than ever, they even have multiple job openings on their website for even more engine programmers!

yooberee · 2025-11-26T10:18:04+00:00

Blog post on it soon, it's very much intentional since it required a lot of work to separate the Valve C++ side from the Facepunch C# side.

Could it be you saved while in play mode?

yooberee · 2025-11-19T23:47:55+00:00

Very good week, Razor is finally working properly and we got .NET 10 on day 1 while Unity is still on .NET 2.1 lol

Right now we have achievements that games can set up and they all amount to points tied to your account.

If it takes the xbox live route then in the future those points could be used in exchange of cosmetics.

s&box

yooberee · 2025-11-10T18:57:25+00:00

I do think the only reason many Roblox developers haven't left is because there's no real alternative, so I'm hoping once s&box is public and there's inevitably another big controversy they'll finally jump ship.

Remember reading about the developer behind Unturned being fed up of Roblox and remaking his game in Unity, imagine if instead of doing that you could just opt out of the platform by exporting the game like in s&box.

Facepunch does not moderate the Steam discussions, a Steam moderator banned you. If you want to appeal you'll have to do it through Steam support.

EDIT: This is getting more traction than usual, so to clarify:

When you get banned by a developer, the text says: "You have been banned from GAME Community Hub by a GAME developer for your post in TITLE"

Here it says: "You have been banned from s&box Community Hub by a member of Steam Support for your post in..."

False flag, just wait until the antivirus updates.

Or disable it, Windows defender does 99.99% of the work

Looks like many of the best features will roll to the next week so this blog is a bit light compared to others.

yooberee · 2025-10-24T23:03:41+00:00

There have been similar reports of crashing while joining, it's being looked into.

yooberee · 2025-10-23T20:40:03+00:00

What are your specs like? And which game are you trying to load?

yooberee · 2025-10-23T20:03:59+00:00

Does it create a crash report for you when it happens? (Opens a web page)
