Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Hey all, just wanted to bring this up as it should be released soonish - saw a video or two a while ago and was intrigued, was bummed to see it was invite only still.

Anyone played this yet? Thoughts? Other hype? I mean it’s the successor to gmod, I’m here for it and all its buggy glory 🀩🀩

Now they did mention retooling in September but I’m hopeful they’re comfortable and capable to still hit a Q1 or Q2 deadline. Who knows, what do you think?

Another chance to be an unpaid beta tester for a decade in an absurdly toxic community, and if my ideas are good enough, have them stolen and turned into a game mode?

Wow, where do I sign up?!?! I cant wait to pay money to beta test an early access game labelled and sold as a finished product!

Obligatory reminder that Garry just downloaded JBMod, added hilariously insecure Lua scripting/injection into it, and made an insanely poorly optimized UI, and then sold it.

Oh then he spent years on facepunch promising to fix things soon and then taking 3 years to do it, usually waiting until some unpaid modder/coder figured out and solved the problem for him.

Then he nuked the Facepunch forums, removing all evidence of this.

Great company, great games, great community rofl!

Interesting, I was unaware of this.

Hah, well I did already give you that Sig 320 inside a hollowed out 1984 copy in another thread.

Keep it close, I suppose.

Nice troll

[–] vexikron@lemmy.zip -3 points 2 years ago

I dont need to troll you as you seem to have already trolled yourself, buying Starfield on launch.

I'm so excited for it, been following it ever since Garry Newman said he started working in source 2. It looks much more powerful than Gmod ever was. Too bad the way to get into the closed beta is a complete nightmare (you had to enter a raffle every day and have maybe a 1/700 chance of being selected)

I'll be the first to buy it as long as they don't mess up the monetization and turn it into something like Roblox. But I trust Newman, he hates that stuff as much as I do.

Shoutout to their dumb devlog videos too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L6xF5POhNU

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Nah the beta is specifically for developers, it's not meant for players. There are two ways to access the dev beta, either you show that you are a modder / developer on the facepunch forums. Or you try to get access in a random and fair raffle.

[–] _donnadie_@feddit.cl 1 points 2 years ago

From what I'm understanding he's trying to make a platform that allows for stuff like Roblox to happen. Just that he's trying to make it robust from the start with proper, good tools in Source 2.

[–] HATEFISH@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Stoked since they announced it would be converted to source 2.
