S&box is actually Garry's Mod 2?

Although the game that Facepunch, the same studio that developed Garry's Mod, is now working on isn't called Garry's Mod 2. I am calling s&box their sequel on Garry's Mod. They probably chose to not go with Garry's Mod 2 intentionally. S&box is, just like Garry's Mod, a sandbox that will heavily rely on the modding community. I would like to know what you guys think of s&box, I am really excited for it and they are working really hard on it, the fact that they are using UE4 makes it even more exciting.

I remember seeing Garry respond to a question on a Reddit AMA saying that he wasn't expecting Gmod to get as big as it is now, and if he'd had known he would have called it Sandbox.
Probably where the name comes from? Then again S&Box is being mainly worked on by Layla and not Garry.

It's a sandbox like garry's mod but not Garry's Mod 2 because we can't actually make gamemode (in the actually developement)

Yes it's totally garry's mod 2 you can look at ths physic etc... it will be based on C# and we can create gamemode on it, but not in lua anymore

If they implement C# base like I heard I'm onboard.

Yes I think S & Box is the new garry's mod for the simple reason that the developers are the same as Garry's mod and it's facepunch who takes care of the dev of the latter. In addition, there are a lot of nods visible to garry's mod in the notes of S & Box dev.

Someone said you can't make gamemodes in S&Box.... you are very very wrong. Multiple big gamemode devs are already warm and cozy with the devs and they'll have early access to the game and before we know it the gamemodes we love in gmod will be recreated (i hope some aren't....) in S&Box
