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

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

Hah, well I did already give you that Sig 320 inside a hollowed out 1984 copy.
Keep it close, I suppose.
