Ça y est s&box est sorti ! 🥳
Le successeur de Garry's Mod est là et l'ambition est bien plus grande.
Une plateforme #opensource pour venir concurrencer #Roblox voire même #Unity avec le moteur de #Valve #Source2
Hâte de voir ce que les gens vont en faire, ça promet 🙃
(article ci-dessous en anglais ainsi que la vidéo de présentation)
@thingsiplay I don't want #sbox to fail, I've been looking forward to it and #Source2 for a very long time.
...But not at the larger cost of spawning an unmoderated platform where hate and abuse can fester.
#garrynewman seems to be of the mind that he can do no wrong, when in fact he is taking the company in a new direction. With that comes new responsibility which he and his staff refuse to manage or plan for, despite many users giving the same feedback: "We need moderation"
Je crois qu'il y a vraiment quelque chose de révolutionnaire (j'assume le terme) qui se joue avec l'arrivée de #SAndBox (s&box) sur #Steam (28 avril 2026).
Le créateur de Garry's Mod ( #GarryNewman ) avec son studio #Facepunch et l'accord de #Valve, donnera accès en #OpenSource au moteur de jeu #Source2
Un concurrent libre à #Roblox et même carrément une entrée dans le développement de #JV au plus grand nombre.

#Linux or no, it will not be worth the #MentalHealth cost to navigate a #toxic community to invest my skills.
I can only hope that #Valve is paying close attention and can correct the arrogance that's happening inside #Facepunch - from what I've seen and heard from others there's a lot of it.
I've been waiting for years, and I'm just extremely disappointed - including because Garry used to be someone I idolized. 😔
Group-think runs wild, zero moderation on the forums. Write well thought out feedback? You get a bunch of unrelated replies from people who didn't read your post trying to troll you. Staff member users on the forum are not clearly marked, so you have to guess. No obvious community rules posted.
It's exactly what you wouldn't expect from the same development communities #Facepunch is trying to compete with.
#Autistic #ActuallyAutistic should avoid like the plague.
#Source2 #indiedev #gamedev
To any #developers excited by the upcoming #SBox games platform by #Facepunch
What I have seen and interacted with the past few days, community conduct wise, is extremely concerning to me as a #gamedev professional.
There seems to be no community management, and it's like they said "lets give the community of DarkRP a game engine toolkit"
Bullying is enabled from the top, and a few times I saw it from FP staff.
I have no clue how they will attract (or train) professionals. #Toxic #Source2
I asked Facepunch about s&box back at Gamescom, and now the answer is much clearer. Here’s what s&box actually is in 2026, and why the project feels far more defined now. #sbox #Facepunch #GarrysMod #Source2 #PCGaming

Une alternative à #Roblox en #LicenceLibre basé sur le moteur #Source2 de #Valve (avec leur approbation) venant du créateur de Garry's Mod (Garry Newman).
À suivre ...
#sandbox (s&box)
