Now everyone can look at my shit code -- really though, super happy that we're able to give back like this.
s&box is now open source โ€” we're pleased to share our .NET 10 game engine source under the MIT license. Our goal with the play fund, royalty free game exporting and open source are all about giving back to the community so everyone wins. ๐Ÿ‘‰github.com/Facepunch/sbox-puโ€ฆ

> glitches out of bounds and finds vista assets
305 million dollar game btw. A lot of these things are going to be 2D when you're out of bounds but come on man. This is terrible for that type of budget lol

It's hack week over at Facepunch, and I've wanted to add eye/head tracking support for the longest time. So here's my first attempt. This is using Tobii's Stream Engine.

I also made it work with freetrack, so most trackers can make use of this for basic head tracking. No external dependencies.

Dead game..
๐ŸšจBreaking News! Half Life has only 782 players! Thats 97% down from their peak! The game is dead and the developers have been completely silent about it. Unless these devs ship a major update or at least explain why players left then recovery seems unlikely!!

Quick FAQ for those wondering: โ€ข S&box is a game engine, made by Gmod creator(s) โ€ข ...but also a game like Gmod 2 โ€ข Very close to Unity/C# โ€ข Allows publishing to a UGC-like platform, but also standalone โ€ข $20 at launch, no royalties โ€ข I'm not sponsored, just enjoying it

This is normal practice.
Itโ€™s true! And itโ€™s normal software development. We prioritize reported bugs. We fix them in priority order. At the bottom are low-priority, low-impact bugs. We find the cutoff point where fixing those bugs is less valuable to the game than other things, and we drop them.

Introducing You Have Been Deleted, a survival horror game inspired by the early internet and cutthroat 90s corporatism. Sporting a unique retro art style, You Have Been Deleted aims to break the mold in the indie horror space with fresh new life.

Weโ€™re officially sponsoring @dreamhack Birmingham this March! ๐ŸŽฎ Why? Well, we want to invest in Birmingham more, but mostly, because the NEC is basically in our back garden. At the Facepunch booth, you can expect both a hands-on with s&box and Rust Mobile! Come say hello (or complain about being raided) from March 27โ€“29. Get your tickets here: dreamhack.com/birmingham/
