I just find Garry choice to do sausage people retarded.

What baffles me is the people who love this game (all 200 of them) think the sausage people are the bees knees. Like, when you play the games made by developers before the game went public, there's all sorts of lulsorandom humor referencing the sausage people. It's absolutely wholesome-chungus-100 millennial behavior, and my buddy made a good point that the redditor types seem to love ugly shit, probably because it makes them feel... less ugly?

But either way, I could overlook the ugly sausage things if the game was fun, but so far every game I've played has either been a mobile tier shitfest, or a lesser clone of a game I already own. I haven't played a single original and fun game.

Not for awhile. But the thing is there's an insane amount of money to be made for little effort right now. Garry gave these dark RP people 90k even before the game launched. Once people realize there's good money to be made the content will follow.

it would be cool if people make something creative instead of some hack shit that's on a different engine. all i really want is the OG darkRP where you set up stupid japes on other players instead of whatever kind of VIP "you can't do that" hell that it turned into ages ago. aneurism IV got close to that feel but is dead due to its own problems

Uh OH DOOMERs looks like some people are HAVING A BLAST!!! (Wtf is playing WAW:Zombies? Or any roblox zombies?)

Here's what I don't get about these game ripoffs. Usually, I justify the fact that they exist because 3rd worlders and children don't have PCs and thus can't play the real games. So instead of WaW custom maps or Bo3 workshop maps, they have to play "ZOMBIE GUN 3D" on the appstore. But in this case, these fucking ching-chong tier ripoffs are hosted on a paid platform which is so poorly optimized you have to have a mid range PC at minimum to experience them. Who the FUCK is booting up their rig, clicking steam, and scrolling past Bo3 to play ripoff zombies on Garry'sBlox?

The launch day visage of the ugly alcoholic looking sausage abominations in that game where you rip ass to jump around put me off it permanently even before learning about the false advertising involving Source 2.

Why in the hell would I play a worse performing ripoff of Death Stranding when I can just play Death Stranding. Why did they put that much effort into showing that and then just brush off how someone came up with "hazard map jigsaw puzzle" which is a more original idea than any of that.
 
Only reason darkrp was good was because of the trolling potential. Now every darkrp server is a boring slog.
The good old days of prop killing, i miss em.

Just let them cook. Complaining about the sausage people is retarded you can code anything for a player model into the game. There's an ed Edd and eddy style black ops zombies game with custom player models.

Right now the game isn't worth buying there's only a handful of good games but people need to understand this ain't Garrys mod 2 this is Roblox for adults.

You are partially correct in that game devs are not required to use the sausage models, but this is also far from the only criticism people have of the game right now. Even if the sausage models got deleted tomorrow, it still wouldn't change the draconian way Garry wants to run the game and the community. Every platform they're on is censored to hell except for the Steam reviews. Just this week the reddit mods made a list of unacceptable criticisms of the game and Garry compared himself to Jesus Christ.

I do think the game will become slightly better over time, but it's hard to expect much when they're actively doubling and tripling down on 95% of the things that customers have expressed they don't like.
 
I can't wait for this game to come out.

While digging around, I found an old Youtube comment. Garry's main goal with s&box is to make it a competitor to Unity/Unreal Engine/Godot, which is pretty obvious.

You still need explicit approval from Valve to publish s&box games on Steam.

Next year, you’ll probably not need approval from Valve (2027?).

Garry is planning to not allow others to use the sausage model (Terry) in their standalone games outside of s&box.

Credit where credit is due I actually think Garry is right about this one. Putting aside the issue of the sausage models being gross and uncanny, even if they looked great, I wouldn't want to see them in every game listed on Steam. Just like I don't appreciate Unity games using the exact same free human models (you know the ones) in every game.

I am curious though how they plan to enforce this.

Retarded take. The problem isn't the Sausage people but what they represent. Garry is trying to make a quirky roblox counter strike skin speculator market with "party" game addons where his paying player base wants nothing of the sort.

the game is scheduled to go free to play in 2 years I guess we'll just have to bookmark this and come back to it and see how successful it is.

Then they should articulate that.

As it is, any legitimate criticism is drowned under a sea of "sausage people bad!" sometimes with the implication that he should use fortnite style characters.

Same with AI. The problem shouldn't be that people are using AI, it's that low effort engagement farming slop is drowning out any quality. But no, just add a tag so those with AI derangement syndrome can spend all day tagging games based on thumbnails.
 
So I joined the s&box discord server, sorry if this breaks a rule here but I reached out to Garry about the sausage people and just had this honest back and forth with him on character design and aesthetics, this lead to him replying "I want to show you something.", we got on a group voice chat in the server and he started screen sharing some new ideas, he sounded kinda nervous and was basically telling me that one of the new girls he hired came up with this.

So she is taking the social fishing game idea from Webfish and the recent VRChat fishing game.

Can I get something original?
And what did he even say about the sausage people or how bad his game is doing? (Both as a game AND as a development platform).

Call me crazy but I think all the random drops are going to do is bot the game to shit. Even more so than it already is. inb4 they start coping about muh player count when the graph looks like TF2

For reference, TF2 is estimated to have anywhere from 50% to 80% of the playercount to be bots.

Garry mentioned that interacting with various games will affect the drop rates. Direct quote from the update page:
Right now your chances of drops are based on factors like games played, new games played, time played, reviews and game ratings. We'll tweak this in the future so that people who are positive community members will be more eligible for rarer rewards. We'll be keeping an eye on it too, to make sure it's not being botted and gamed.
Click to expand...
That combined with the fact that creators are paid depending on how well their minigame does, guarantees that a lot of them will be botted to have fake engagement, both by malicious actors and by the item farmers.

And if people think I'm exaggerating: CS:GO has had a HUGE problem with workshop bots in the past where people had their submissions trashed by bots so the shady ones were boosted to the top. It was mainly to done to boost maps with gambling stuff in them. And it looks CS2 is having those problems again. Where there's money to be made, shady shit will happen.

Also this part sounds supicious:
We'll tweak this in the future so that people who are positive community members will be more eligible for rarer rewards.

In my opinion it sounds like he's planning to reward people for toxic positivity. Everything I hear about this game is just extremely fake, from the community with financial interests in it playing unpaid, armchair lawyers to devs themselves encouraging fake engagement with carrots on sticks.
