s&box

It is not very ready for release, many things work poorly, slowly, or don't. And, however, I still enjoy playing it today, I don't recommend buying it now, if you expect, well, something from it :-)

I am mainly a developer on this platform, so my review is influenced by that. So to get the gaming part out of the way, it is rough and the platform definitely needs moderation. There are tons of interesting and fun games, but you have to sift through a lot of garbage before reaching it. Garbage is subjective, since the small audience that stayed with this game is concentrating on clicker, idle and gambling games. The featured category is one of the only ones that matters and you can find tens of fun games there. A lot of them are multiplayer-oriented, but that is to be expected. From a developer side of view, it's a blessing. The engine is extremely easy to use and configure and if you have some experience with Unity, this makes it even easier. Some obstacles are in place, like the whitelisting (which means you can't access files or threads directly through code in the final build of the game), but you can easily build with those in mind. The UI is easy to use and the docs are somewhat helpful, but they could be expanded. The greatest part is how you can publish freely on the platform and get money through the playfund. I've had several games funded and get a nice amount of money for it. Everything is transparent, so you can check their site to see the best winning games. With the upcoming game jam that has a bank of 50k dollars, things only get better. I understand the frustration of players, but I feel like Facepunch built this platforms with devs in mind firstly, and if they have a good enough contribution, the platform will be expanded organically. I thank them for their constant updates and maybe it's a rough start, but if they keep at it (and maybe make it free to play for at least a weekend), it will be great!
