Official Sandbox Wishlist Thread
Posted: July 7th, 2013, 1:46 pm
As most of you probably know there is a huge graphical update that will be a part of the next version of Sandbox. If you haven't seen it yet here is a little taste:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CdguXxs3to Make sure to up the video quality to see the full difference.
With that said I'd really like to improve Sandbox in all the other areas as well and I'm looking to put together a budget to pay coders, modelers, texture artists, etc so that Sandbox will have a lot of ready made content that you can use to make your own games. The funding for this will most likely come in the form of a Kickstarter.
The real question is, what features/improvements do you think would make Sandbox better? I'm going to list my ideas and I'll add ideas to the list from your responses as well.:
This list is very WIP. As a note I am probably going to be having a big meeting on IRC in the very near future to help discuss the future of SB as well.
General:
Widgets
Prefab menu and easy to add to and use the menu
Coop Support for FPS, RPG, SSP and Racing Mode
Random Map Generator similar to Minecraft - Also possibly endless world generation like Minecraft as well
Easier ways to add content such as textures and sounds to Sandbox such as an "autofind" feature
Improved Script Support/Ease Of Use? Ruby or Python Integration?
Better Model support?
Hire dedicated tutorial writers and video tutorial creators
Facebook like social page to show off and share work and so we can easily share events such as community coop meetups and map contests
Lots of models available to use for commercial use. Replacement of all content so all of it can be used commercially.
FPS:
Coop
RPG Mode:
Coop
SSP:
Vehicle Mode:
Mario Kart like racing with power ups
Option to exit the vehicle like GTA?
Planes, Boats, Hangliders, Jetpacks, Spaceships?
