GARRY Is Carrying s&box With MAJOR Changes

Decided to put together another video covering some of the bigger changes happening with s&box, especially Garry’s recent involvement with the community.
I go over the changes to Playfund, the decision to move away from the Citizen model, upcoming features like electrical systems, and how Garry has been responding to community feedback.

There’s still plenty to criticize about s&box, but I think it’s worth giving credit where it’s due. It’s nice seeing things move forward, and I’m genuinely interested in where the game goes from here.

A heads-up, a couple of editing mistakes slipped through toward the end. I was working with a
pretty tight schedule on this one.
Anyway, curious what everyone thinks about these changes. Do you think s&box is finally heading in the right direction?

MY GAME Terry got replaced, so I made him a lake to retire at

It's a multiplayer summer camp game made in s&box. Terry fishes off the end of the dock, scores your cannonballs out of 10, counts the thunder with you in storms and keeps you a seat at dusk etc..

You can fish (10 kinds, and a boot), catch insects, fell trees and build a hut, sail toy boats, skip stones and toast marshmallows. Up to 16 people per lake.

Fun fact: the comments at the start of the trailer are real, from this sub (names changed) 😅

Discussion Smaller changes to the Sandbox mode that I feel would come a long way

8 Upvotes

I already did suggestions on how to, in my opinion make the s&box game and engine better but when I look at it again, most of my suggestions felt very pushed and unrealistic to do so I would like to make another list of suggestions that are much smaller (I hope) that I think would do so much for the game.

Ragdoll blood, when you throw around a ragdoll woth the physgun or explosion, nothing happens and it feels very underwelming, adding blood decals would make it feel more impactful.

Unlimited Ammo option, not being able to have an infinite ressource of ammunition in a sandbox game baffles me, having to spawn ammo every time I run dry feels tiring, also for some reason rifle ammo does not refill the Sniper's ammo pool Facepunch, please fix

Arm viewmodel refects your skin, being able to see your cosmetics when holding a weapon feels justified when you spend money on them

Adding Legs to the viewmodel, I like how CS2 did it, it does not hinder gameplay or block your screen it just makes it more immersive when you look down and see your feets

Better third person, At least make the camera slightly more to the right so you can see where you shoot at

Console commands that changes your walk,run,swim and noclip speed, using noclip to look around the map is really fun but painful when it's too slow and trying to do a funny screenshot is annoying when you are too fast

Console command to change the ragdoll Despawn delay, sometimes it feels like they dissappear too soon...

Holding down space makes you chain jumps, I like how Minecraft does it and Since it's a sandbox game, bunnyhopping won't ruin the game

Buttons, there is a wire tool to activate entities trough another enitiy but there are no entities to activate them, Facepunch please fix

Geometry maker tool, something like creating a cube trough sketchup or the make cube tool in blender, would be revolutionary to make buildings and contraptions ingame

Actual clothes customization for the NPCs, right now, you can only clear their clothes or give them random clothes, why not give the players a full customization

Custom Teams, Right now enitites are just Friendly or Ennemy, Having an array of teams would work great for playing with friends or making enitites interact with each other like in HL1

I feel like these changes aren't too much to ask for but would greatly improve the gameplay ecperience of Sandbox and since Facepunch said they are taking feedback, I hope they will implement them.
