The eponymous creator of the game, once scripted an AK-47 SWEP that shot babies as ammunition.And let's not get started on the various SWEPs devised by the community. You can build prop cannons that can shoot everything from sawblades to watermelons. One of the sample scripted weapons (or SWEPs in community jargon) included with the game, the Flechette Gun, is exactly like the SMG from Half-Life 2 only it shoots an endless stream of the exploding rounds fired by the Hunter enemy from Half-Life 2: Episode 2, as well as the Manhack Gun, which is a modified USP which fires manhacks and rollermines welded to what you're looking at. GMod Tower (discontinued succeeded by Tower Unite, which does not use GMod at all).Velkon Gaming (server running heavily modified TTT architecture).

The game is currently in a 'closed early beta' state with only a select few number of people having access. According to Facepunch, s&Box is meant to go above and beyond what Garry's Mod was ever capable of, becoming a full game development suite where users can create virtually anything using the entire suite of Source 2 tools as well as the game's own toolset. Currently, it's available on Valve's Steam client for download.Ī 'sequel' called s&box is currently in development. The game uses the Lua scripting language for its weapons and events, meaning it's possible to code your own weapons into the game and publish them to the Steam Workshop, along with user-created maps, props, vehicles, entities, NPCs, effects, and models, resulting in a highly customizable game. And with a library of ragdolls at your disposal, you can even freely manipulate and pose them them to create whatever demented setpiece or puppet show you want.Īll of this makes Garry's Mod one of the most popular mediums for creating Machinima, and because the ability to play around with ragdolls lends itself perfectly to all kinds of zany slapstick, it is also widely considered the Denser and Wackier counterpart to Source Filmmaker. You can set armies of NPCs against each other. You can spawn and bind together props to build all sorts of structures and machinations such as buildings, Humongous Mecha, cannons, catapaults, etc. Initially just the latter game with the rope, manhack and rollermine guns being the only additions, it has evolved considerably since then to the point of becoming its own standalone game.Īs a sandbox with no set objectives, the game gives you the tools to take full advantage of Half-Life 2's physics engine and assets, as well as those of various Source engine games like Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead, etc. Garry's Mod (or GMod) is a sandbox physics game developed by Facepunch Studios and published by Valve Corporation, originally a mod created by Garry Newman of Valve's own Half-Life 2.
