Garry's Mod
Garry's Mod is a sandbox Source engine game available on Steam that was created by Garry Newman, the founder and CEO of Facepunch Studios.
Gameplay
[edit | edit source]The game heavily focuses on its own modifications through user-created addons available on the Steam Workshop.[1] These can be any of the following and more:
- Maps
- Weapons
- Models/Props
- Vehicles
- Custom non-player characters (NPCs)
- Building tools & user-created buildings ("dupes")
- Creative tools
- Scripts
It also allows the player to "mount" other currently installed Source engine games to Garry's Mod to access props, models, and maps from those games as well.
By default, Garry's Mod loads into the Sandbox gamemode, where all installed addons are available to the player through the spawnmenu. Players can freely spawn entities & props and manipulate them with a variety of tools.[2]
Garry's Mod also ships with the Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT) gamemode, a social deduction gamemode created by Bad King Urgrain, that usually ends in chaos.[1]
Other user-created gamemodes can be added to the game from the Steam Workshop.
