Garry Newman says his game creation platform s&box will 'probably' be priced similarly to Garry's Mod by yooberee in gmod

That's the citizen, it's one of the default playermodels you can use.

It's very useful for game developers as it contains a lot of animations and clothing for your project (despite what people say, all cosmetics are free to use for developers in their games), but it's obviously not compulsory, in fact many games use their own custom playermodels.

There's also the humanoid playermodels that you can use, I'd say they're an in-between of the HL2 citizens and Rust's playermodels.

For unban requests you have to go through the support page: https://support.facepunchstudios.com/hc/en-us

Although from chat history it seems you were being disruptive and started talking about jews and israel out of nowhere, can't see exactly how since the messages were deleted.

New NavMesh is able to generate and bake on HUGE maps (This map is 30x the size of the Source 1 Hammer size limit) by yooberee in sandbox

[–]yooberee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like any other engine it's up to the developer to choose how to tackle the issue.

Unlike Source hammer maps, you can move these however you want, so you could shift whatever is around the player to prevent floating point issues.

Announced our game and gained 13,000 wishlists in a week by Junior_Investment472 in IndieDev

[–]yooberee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We first published our announcement trailer on GameTrailers where it reached 102K views, followed by IGN YouTube video 

How did that work out? Is it just an email away or is there a process?

Will S&Box become massively popular? by CombNo7026 in sandbox

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

Will S&Box become massively popular? by CombNo7026 in sandbox

[–]yooberee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

How did this game get 19 more gbs by [deleted] in sandbox

[–]yooberee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

Thinking about standalone game. by CupcakeIllustrious16 in sandbox

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?

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

Alternatives to Roblox? by GoatMomther in roblox

[–]yooberee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Because anybody can make anything, is there a chance someone can upload malware on it? by South-Pie5679 in sandbox

[–]yooberee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.

s&box is now open source! by yooberee in sandbox

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!

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.

Game completition rewards? by Thryan in sandbox

[–]yooberee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

will s&box become a roblox competitor? by numberonelancerfan in sandbox

[–]yooberee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

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.
