Frequently Asked Questions
We’re not in a rush (obviously). I think we’ll know when it’s ready to be released and it’s probably best not to speculate.
How much will it cost?
We don’t know. We haven’t decided yet.
Are you using workshop?
No. We’re trying to try to make a system where you don’t have to install addons. This is what asset.party is. In the same way you don’t have to install videos from YouTube, you just download what you need.
How can I get access to the developer preview?
Right now there are two ways. We’re periodically give out invite codes to existing members — who can then be able to give them out to whoever they want.
We also have a megathread on the forums that you can post in if you want to be considered for access. Facepunch staff regularly browse the thread and give access to the best and brightest.
Can I sell my addons? Can I sell my games?
One of our biggest failings in Garry’s Mod was not allowing the community to fund itself. People made a living out of selling Garry’s Mod addons but it was a lot harder than it should have been.
This is something I really want to address in s&box. I don’t totally know how that looks right now. There’s a few different choices..
- Allow games to have microtransactions — turns into a shit show fast
- Allow unlocking/buying games — puts players off playing if they have to pay for
- Allow tips/donations — might work if done right
- Split a percentage of sales to top played games/addons/maps every month — might work if done right
- Allow selling games standalone on Steam — attractive, maybe hard work, need Valve’s permission
Why not Unity? Why not UE?
We’re part of a community that is kind of sentimental about the Source engine. Source2 has a beautiful renderer and brings the engine up to date with tools like ModelDoc and Animgraph.
It would have been cheaper and easier to do this all on Unity or UE, but we would have loved it much less.
Stupid Sausage Headed Idiot Player Models
Yeah we get it, you either love them or hate them. We love them. But don’t worry — there are other player models — we’re shipping some with the game.
So not every game is going to have these guys. What they do offer to a game developer is a shortcut. Don’t care about player models — just use the user selected clothes. Making a cooking game and need to dress the player models? Use the chef outfit. Making an army game? Use the soldier outfit.
S box когда выйдет
В данном руководстве я вам расскажу о приблизительной дате выхода игры S&Box ( продолжении игры Garrys Mod ), о различных источниках информации, о которых вы, возможно, не знали.
S&Box уже перенесен на движок Source 2(ранее разрабатывался на UE4) и будет поддерживать язык программирования C# .Что же это даст игре? Новый движок даст гораздо больше возможностей, как игрокам ,так и мододелам. А какие конкретные возможности? — по словам Garry Newman’а, будет возможность создавать игровые режимы, по игровой механике похожие на rust или pubg( следовательно будет возможность создавать карты невероятных масштабов, также лимит игроков на одном сервере будет гораздо выше, если он вообще будет ).
Разработчики уже начали переносить режим "sandbox" из garrysmod’а, будут доступны те же инструменты, что и были. Самое главное, что поддержка workshop’a будет скорей всего будет и в S&Box’е. Поддержки языка lua в S&Box не будет
В первой половине 2021 года будет бета тест для разработчиков модов, карт для игр на движке source, для всех остальных ранний доступ к игре будет доступен во второй половине 2021 года , а значит осталось совсем недолго ждать.
Вы можете поставить лайк и продвинуть руководство, чтобы все русскоязычное комьюнити знали больше о продолжении игры Garrys Mod.

When will s&box be released?
After all this time, nobody seems to have an answer. When will s&box release?

Cursed Shaft, a map by gvarados.
Throughout the years, s&box has had its ups and downs.
Cancelled Facepunch projects and uncertainties in what lies ahead gave fans whiplash. But, after Facepunch announced that s&box would be developed based off Source 2, the community was excited for what was to come.
Developer preview started in April 2021, with hopes that s&box would launch in some form by the end of the year. The infamous queue came and went. In July 2021, the s&box website was updated to state the goal was to release in «6-12 months».
Nearly a year has passed, and s&box is still in developer preview. And we seem no closer to a release date. When will s&box release?
The Short Answer
If Garry doesn’t know, nobody does.
Not Facepunch. Not even Garry. There are no public estimates.
Developing a game is hard work. Developing an engine for people to make games is even more hard work. Even when s&box is finally released, the engine will by no means be complete. It just needs to be «ready enough».
Our Best Guess
While s&box has its moments, the dirty underbelly of the engine rears its head regularly to those who experiment with it. Things break constantly, and often take considerable time to fix.
Foliage Shaders are currently broken in s&box.
But, s&box has charm. The tooling is constantly improving, and awesome new features are added regularly. The engine has gone through multiple so-called «pain days», which are breaking changes to the API, that ultimately improve the code in the long run.
Given the steady pace, we predict s&box will release around mid-late 2023. However, if Garry decides to take access in a different direction (perhaps an open beta?), the true release date is difficult to predict.
How can I play s&box now?
You can’t. But you can join the official s&box Discord to follow updates. Furthermore, follow us on Twitter for the quickest updates on s&box access and release information.
