s&box on Steam
store.steampowered.com
Our spiritual successor to Garry's Mod, this is a game creation platform built on the Source 2 engine. Play, create, and share games, explore community creations, and experience endless sandbox fun with powerful modern tools.

s&box, from the creator of the popular Source Engine sandbox Garry’s Mod, released three days ago. s&box is based on the Source 2 engine, and not only a sandbox but a game development and publishing platform, including publishing on Steam.

The news post one day after release openly covers the mixed ratings, public finances, doubling their play fund that pays creators, and public roadmap.

I was surprised to see they openly and transparently publish day-by-day finances.

The public performance stats are interesting too.

Refreshing. I wish more publishers would do these kinds of things with deliberate open communication and transparency.

    Oh boy! Gmod 2 but now with micro transactions!

    Fyi, none of the games are worth it and the ones that are will be ported off the game sooner rather than later. Everything is just a rehash of your favorite Gmod game modes.
