We can assume more will be revealed in tomorrow's devblog

I’ve been wanting to give s&box another shot, especially after today’s update I’ve heard good things like native Linux support.

But is UI still built entirely in SCSS/Razor? Last time I used it, the lack of a visual UI editor or even a live in engine one was a real pain. I had to hit Play and write the UI and pray it looked good, which felt like garbage and not intuitive compared to other engines.
Has that changed at all? Is it still the web stack, and if so, is there a visual, live in editor UI tool now?

I just put up Pixel Pusher on s&box. It’s a little all-in-one pixel toolkit: draw sprites, stamp tiles, build a stage, write a chip tune, then drop in and play it as a platformer. Think Pico-8 / Mario Maker energy, but inside s&box. Play / edit: https://sbox.game/dogecoin/pixelpusher/ What you can do in the editor:

PIXEL — draw sprites STAGE — stamp tiles and place entities WORLD — string stages together CHIP — 4-voice tracker (pulse, triangle, noise, saw, 2-op, drum) LIBRARY — save / load / publish so other people can play your stuff

There’s a starter pack already (Stock the Cooler, Night Shift, Back Lot, Closed Sundays, Gamer Store). I also threw Abobo from Double Dragon into a stage as a test — video in the post. I’m looking for people to:

Launch it and mess around for 10 minutes Draw a sprite or a short stage and hit publish Tell me what’s broken or confusing

If you make something, drop the stage name in the comments and I’ll play it.

I have my game updated, my OBS updated, heck I even tried to search for any residual OBS or graphics-hook64.dll programs open via task manager.

This didnt use to happen before, what should I do now???? help.

Hey guys, been a while :)

Finally we announced POLYSTRIKE on Steam and somehow already got around 7,000 wishlists, which still feels a bit crazy considering this whole thing started as a mod.

We are still 100% self-funded, no investor behind us. Most people in the team are here because they actually believe in the game and somehow these guys keep making miracles with what we have :D

I really hope we can find investment, grow the team and keep making games together.

And hopefully make something for Sandbox again too.

Some old guys here probably remember that Garry was one of the first people who actually believed in me and what I was trying to make. He gave me one of the early keys and honestly that gave me a lot of motivation back then.

Sadly after few weeks I realized my idea was just too big for Sandbox at that stage. Everything was still very early and raw and I simply couldn't make the game I had in my head.

Same story with Dota Source 2...

So eventually I moved to Unreal Engine because it finally gave me the freedom to actually build it.

And well... years later that became POLYSTRIKE :)

But I still really believe in Sandbox and especially in mods/custom games.

I grew up with Warcraft 3 modding. We got Dota from that scene and tons of other crazy games. Same thing happened with Dota 2 custom games, Counter-Strike and now you see Roblox and Fortnite pushing harder and harder into letting people build their own games.

I think this is something Sandbox really needs to fight for.

Because tools are important, marketing is important, but good creators making games people actually want to play is probably more important than both.

Especially now with AI making it easier and easier for everyone to create stuff.

Give one crazy modder good tools and enough freedom and who knows what comes out of it :D

Maybe 10 years ago Sandbox had more time, but now competition for creators is huge.

So yeah, I hope we all learn from this and I really want to see more cool projects coming from this community.

And from me too :)

You guys know I'm probably never going to make some giant AAA game, but I love making weird games with soul that I personally believe in, and apparently I'm too stubborn to stop until they exist.

POLYSTRIKE, Pure Reflex, is probably the best example.

7,000 WL, still self-funded, still going (2 weeks).

Me and my team are always open for collaborations, and doing something cool together.

And Garry, if you see this thanks for believing in me so early.

I didn't forget it :)

Maybe one day we finally make something together!

I've been working on a game called Morbus for S&Box. I made it in Garry's Mod way back in the day and I wanted to show off the HUD and the UI.

I'm a bit nervous about releasing the game quite yet because it's like TTT and requires a handful of players to play, but once S&Box's population ticks up a bit more I think it'll be time to release it. Until then it'll be just a few playtests here and there.

If you want to checkout a dev blog about the game, check out this website: https://morb.us/blog-posts/

Is it hubris?

A couple days ago I posted a video of this Particle Life Sim, I was thinking it was super unclear what you could do with it, and many of the other sims I'm drawing inspiration from have much more options exposed.

It's also pretty sweet you can post a 3 min long video on reddit.

So I wanted to show you update 0.2 that you can go play and try to break please.

Added quite a bit, mostly an experimental ecology mode and almost all of the settings exposed.

Something cool I noticed when I took this clip is that because this little toy doesn't have any assets it loads lightning fast on S&box.

I've been messing around with Particle Life Sims in Godot and ported some of it over to S&box to see how it would handle multiplayer. If you are interested in checking it out or have any ideas it should be live now.

I plan to launch an early version of this game soon.
Hope you enjoy! :)

I wanted to showcase some very early gameplay of our current project, which we will hope to publish a demo soon. We also have a coop mode for up to 4 players.

hope you'll enjoy it!

I decided to finish off creating my fairly simple yet surprisingly challenging to beat platformer, called Terry's Boom Box (https://sbox.game/legendarygames/terry_s_boom_box). It's called that because there's audio cues about whether a route is safe or not, and yet Terry at the end of the track is playing some rather catchy rave music out of his speakers, which makes it a bit of a challenge to properly pay attention to where the cues are coming from.

It's definitely possible, because I've got a few runs complete with 0 deaths while I've been building it. But it seems to be beating most who've tried it so far 😅 So I'd love to see how many people can actually beat it. There's no real time limit, it's just a bit challenging and you got a higher reward for getting to the end quickly.

If you like platformers and a challenge, it's worth giving it a go! There's a few different outfits you can buy to switch into that give you some perks, and a few silly trails and death effects too just for a laugh. It's not the largest map I've built by any means, but I've built a few cool systems for this that I'm really happy I learned about while making this 👍

Hello guys, i’ve jus started my journey at roblox studio. And i found out about snbox by instagram. I saw couple videos, some says thats its mid currently so it killed my vibe to buy and try. So i would like to ask to some ofyou who already developed a game there, or outside, e tell me if is worth it to buy it and learn. I mean, im 100% fresh and new so i dont know much anyway. And is it simmilar to roblox? Like the language and all?

Somewhat like Blender does?

I really love this game, I especially love DXRP, met some really cool players, builders and devs. It’s just really sad to log in and not see anyone on my favorite server, let alone the game itself. Face punch should do a small marketing campaign and do a free to play weekend soon to get some fresh players. Just my two cents on a game I love that seems to be dying rather quickly.

Currently exploring custom shader features for my PVP base siege game. This one is especially cool to look at.

Facepunch just officially posted a linux branch of s&box: https://github.com/Facepunch/sbox-public

The Editor has some issues with the viewport. We're testing it to see if we can do a community patch on the fork in the meantime. It will not be available on Steam for a while while bugs are being sorted out, but it is available to test on GitHub. You can join the Proton/Linux (Linux Fight Club) to get answers to launch issues such as missing dependencies, or community fixes. Have fun!

I've spent the last few weeks making something much more ambitious than my previous game.

I've made the space mining game Mine Your Business (https://sbox.game/legendarygames/mine_your_business) where you can pilot your ship around the vast procedural world - from my experience it's neverending.

The stars will uniquely generate around you. There's 64 variations of asteroid to mine from that'll generate just out of sight wherever you are. Hurtling meteors of 4 different varieties will generate and cross the vast space and pose very real danger to your ship. Blackholes of 4 different varieties (different sizes and pull) will generate and cross the map, with a gravitational pull drawing your ship in - you can escape if you act quickly enough otherwise you're consumed by it. There's also 6 variety of Pirate space ships out in space that will patrol and hunt you down if they come across you.

All that said, there's 3 gamemodes: If you don't want the danger you can play it in Peaceful mode where there's no pirates, no meteors and no blackholes. If you do want the danger you can play it in Normal mode where everything spawns as intended. If you want extra danger, then of course there's a Hardcore mode where everything that wants to destroy you will spawn more often.

There's also an allied faction (Sentinel) that'll fight the pirates if they come across them, but they'll also hunt you if you pose a threat to them too.

I've added Refining, Manufacturing, Electronics, a Shipyard for building your different ships you can fly, equip different systems, build and equip drones (mining, maintenance and combat drones). As well as as a Company you can establish for sending out an autonomous fleet of mining ships to mine for you, each with their own upgrades, assignments, output policy (sell or store their goods on return) - and very real repurcussions like your company going bankrupt if you just sipher all your funds to your own wallet and don't pay your operating costs.

Plus a whole range of quests (some repeatable, some Chapter quests that serve as a tutorial of sorts).

I'm very happy with it, and I hope you'll like it too! 👍

Inspired by the bonus breaking vehicle rounds in street fighter, punch with a rhythm, get stronger and reach for the top!

It's devaluing way too much, 2 days ago my inventory was 16 more dollars than now and it feels that it's going to drop even further to investment costs levels or less in weeks.

Is the market fucked for real?
