Overview
- The game-creation platform is nearing an April release window, according to Newman's GDC interviews.
- Newman says pricing will "probably" match Garry's Mod, though the final price has not been set.
- Facepunch remains independent after turning down acquisition approaches it considered insufficient.
- The team has committed to open-sourcing s&box and publishing studio finances to align with a creator-first approach.
- Positioned as a spiritual successor six years in the making, s&box aims to be self-sustaining and to help creators earn income, drawing on lessons from Garry's Mod and Rust.
