s&box comes out on April 28 (Patreon)

Hi. In a month, Garry Newman is finally going to release his Garry's Mod 2... or rather, he's now called it s&box, and it's something like Roblox. He's often spoken unflatteringly about Unity and seems to have decided to turn Source Engine 2 into his own Unity, complete with "blackjack and hookers." I don't know how much of a change it will be from Source Engine 2, but I still plan to move there in the future.

Source Engine 1 is long outdated, and its limitations often prevent me from fully flexing my creative muscles. Implementing proper lighting, importing high-poly models, adding effects...

As far as I know, he resisted for a long time, but eventually made something similar to Source 2 Filmmaker. It will be something like a 2-in-1 sandbox and SFM, without having to try to adapt maps for both games. The game will cost about $20, and those who have already received early access keys might even get the game.

I'll say right off the bat that I know little about Source 2. Much of it remains the same as Source 1, but I'll have to learn a lot from scratch. I've been waiting for the game for quite a while now, and frankly, I expected it to come out about two years ago.

So, have you considered switching to Source 2 yourself? At least the SFM in CS2 or HL Alyx, for example. A short survey. You can select multiple options.
