Garry's Mod (version 13) | Official Thread

[Blacksite]

This is the official thread for Garry's Mod.

Feel free to add me on Steam (BlacksitePSU) if you're interested. I've put 265 hours into the game with 20 of the 25 achievements attained. I'm a big fan of the roleplaying levels but I'm willing to try new things as well.

Following the update to version 13, it seems that four more achievements were added to the game, relating to the workshop.

Garry's Mod (officially abbreviated as GMod) is a sandbox physics game using the Source engine. Garry's Mod has been available on Valve's content delivery service, Steam, since November 29, 2006. Despite being a standalone game, Garry's Mod requires the user to own at least one game on Steam based on the Source engine, such as Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Portal, or Team Fortress 2. It is also commonly used for the creation and publishing of videos on YouTube, mainly from Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. Garry's Mod was originally a modification for Valve's Half-Life 2, but was later made into a Steam game that was officially released on November 29, 2006.

Valve titles I currently own:

Counter-Strike: Source
Half-Life: Opposing Force
Half-Life: Source
Half-Life Deathmatch: Source
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode 1
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
Left 4 Dead 2 (levels currently incompatible)
Portal
Portal 2 (all assets currently incompatible)
Team Fortress 2

Keep up with the latest news and updates here.

I really enjoy playing this game, haven't played it for too long though (15hrs overall)
And I still have no idea how to build anything, I normally just mess around with mods and kill some Combine lol.

Any idea when Portal 2 content will official be coming to Gmod?
I'm guessing in September with Garry's mod 13.

[Blacksite]

He said he'll be shipping his own engine once he makes the transition to version 13, so perhaps Portal 2 will be fully compatible with Garry's Mod, then.

What mods have you been trying out with the game?

[Blacksite]

Really late to posting this, as Garry mentioned it back in September, but version 13 should be out on the 24th. Only two weeks to go.

I had no idea this was still going.

So, version 13 brought with it a lot of new stuff, one of which was a slew of various main menu backgrounds. This one's my favorite:

Garry's Mod made $22 million, Facepunch working on new PC game

The Garry's Mod PC utility has earned creator Garry Newman $22 million in seven years, as revealed in a recent developer mailbag. Newman noted that the team got "less than half of that though. Then the tax man gets a bunch of that. Then when we take money out of the company the tax man gets a bunch of that too." The PC/Mac tool is often used in conjunction with any Source engine game to create Machinima videos.

Newman added that Facepunch Studios is beginning development on a new PC game. "It's a game I've wanted to start work on for ages," he said. "I'm trying to get a team together in office to build it this time."

I'd be interested in seeing what his new game ends up being. Also, I'm still playing Garry's Mod, like, every couple days.

Missed out on this on sale a few weeks ago. Is it actually worth buying and can you actually make anything, within reason, that you want? I always thought of it as a realistic LBP

I can't really comment on the creation aspect. There are a lot of addons (levels, gamemodes, models, props, tools and such) to download through the Steam workshop though so I think it's worth the price of $10.
