Garry's Mod Heads to Steam

17
Following up on news earlier this year, Valve today officially announced that the popular physics-based Source toolbox Garry's Mod will be available on Steam as of Wednesday, November 29. According to Garry's Mod creator Garry Newman, the Steam release of the mod has been recreated from the ground up. "It has a bunch of new tools to play with (winches, hydraulics and hoverballs), totally new spawn menu and a few new Post Processing effects to play with," he said. "The great thing about Steam is that I can update really regularly, really easily--which is something I plan on doing--so expect more tools/gamemodes/stuff to come."

Garry's Mod will run $9.95 over Steam; the game requires another Source-powered game installed in order to run. A Garry's Mod bundle including Counter-Strike source will be sold for $24.95 for users without an existing installed Source-based product.

    So guys, will you throw in your support for Garry? I've never downloaded it, but if I have the spare cash, I will.

      What do you do with it? Make little machines that have balls rolling around and hitting things?

        It's the ultimate sand box, you can make cartoons with it, you can make rediculous machines and drive them around, and then do that in MP.

            Much more than that.. it's more like spawning a scientist and putting a propellant tank on him and watch him fly all over the place type of thing. It's really about fucking off.

      I'm curious if it's gonna be a 1 time fee, or if you're going to have to pay ::10bux:: for every subsequent version he produces, if he keeps doing this.

        and if I recall Garry was saying that we'd never have to pay for his mod. This is a long time ago, but I still think I remember correctly.
