September Update : news/september-update-9209a15d

Great stuff! What brought me to playing Garry's mod back in the day was Sandbox and RP servers. Maybe a proper sandbox mode will bring people in?

Good job! 

Good job Garry!

Gotta say I think as Zeltrax wrote you may need to add official Sandbox gamemode because even though people from Garry's mod community can play the game since it's now open they may don't want to because this is so much of it's own thing and new that you could say they need a something of a comfort zone to be able to see the true and full potential of the game of it's own

Playerbase can migrate from Gmod over time, there already are a lot of projects and games in development that are ported from Gmod, but there is few things that may stop people from porting gamemodes from Gmod, for example there is still no dedicated server(some ports/games are basicly impossible without it) & no Sand-box base gamemode that could be used as a framework to build on top or to take individual parts

No dedicated servers/no way to "protect serverside code" are definitely dealbreakers for some developers right now

What an awsome update, thank you for putting in so much effort with the quality of life updates and the work trying support exporting to steam.
Glad I made the time investment in this engine to replace the tools I used to use.

Mirroring other comments and beating the horse quite dead but...

It feels odd to build on SBox without providing developers with an out-of-the-box solution for protecting IP and hosting dedicated servers. 

At some point, the vision for a Roblox but "better" falls into the category of just another Roblox.

Garry's Mod's long-term success has lived on a dedicated hosting model with owners making their own motization schemes.

Its clear you want to change this and likely find a way to cash in on some of the pie... but is Roblox's model the real way to do it..?

wwww

As you can see from this article, it's not easy to keep players in s&box
I think that in order for s&box not to die, it is necessary to give the opportunity to create NSFW games, this will greatly distinguish s&box from roblox and consolidate the status of roblox for adults, in order to differentiate such content, you can make an age rating, this will highlight gariss mod against roblox, because this will not happen anywhere else I think Gary should also change quickly, make an official sandbox mode and improve it to the gmod level, and most importantly - figure out how to allow players to use copyrighted models, like in gariss mod, because if nothing is done, then when you exit the game, half of the s&box models will be deleted, because they are, in fact, stolen, and I can summarize that if the players have freedom, they will do From the S &box candy

We really need dedicated servers

How do I update to these? I have it on Steam, but I do not see these updates, as of yet.
