What should I do now?

My team and I spent at least 100+ hours each developing a game for S&box, and now our access has been revoked. I don't know how we're supposed to work on the project now, especially since I wanted to finish it before the release. I would really like to at least have access to the editor. 

As a developer, I’m obviously unhappy for understandable reasons. Developers who didn’t lose access have a huge advantage — they can release their game right away and get a large audience from the very start, basically having a “VIP” ticket.

Meanwhile, my team just has to continue development, and most likely won’t get our audience because it’ll already be too late.

That’s really demotivating for me as a creator.

You can download the source code and build the editor yourself if you wish to keep developing.

There are more detailed instructions on Discord as to the steps.

Man, that's definitely cool—I'll give it a try. But it's a shame the developers didn't think of that. I mean, they didn't leave access on Steam just for development purposes.
