The Creation Gaming Floodgates are Open: Why Every Creator is Looking at Valve Right Now Valve and Facepunch just demolished the barrier between 'modder' and 'developer.' Here is why the new royalty-free standalone license for s&box is the ultimate validation of the Creation Gaming era.

The modder/developer divide just collapsed.

@valvesoftware.com and s&box creators can now sell standalone games on @steampowered.com.

Royalty-free. No platform tax. No walled garden.

@kinshuk.live breaks down what this means for Creation Gaming.

#GameDev #IndieGames #CreationGaming

Zen mode unlocked. 🌿

Strip back the textures, toggle on contour lines, and see your entire map from above. Better planning, better control, better looking terrain.

Supporting some of the popular design tools is a stretch goal we have been thinking about. But it’s feasibility is quite a bit away.

Train chaos unlocked 🚂💥
Spent months getting train derailment physics just right. Crashes, collisions, elevated bridge derailments — all working now. Full devlog on YouTube 🚂

And it just got a LOT more interesting 🧵�
Read our latest post to get all the insights & updates - secondquestgames.substack.com/p/building-c...

And the best part — no two crashes are ever the same.
This is Model Trains.

We just built chaos into our game. On purpose. 🚂💥
Trains now have real physics. Momentum. Weight. Consequences.
Go too fast on a curve? Derail. Drop something on the track? Chaos.

Why We "Love" What We "Build" — and What That Means for the Future of Gaming From NDTV's "eyeballs" to the IKEA Effect: how 18 years in media taught me that people don't just want to consume stories. They want to build them.

Why do players stay in some games for 1000 hours?

It's not graphics. It's whether they built something.

Our co-founder @shagufta.live wrote about the principle behind Second Quest, from national media campaigns to game studio.

Less than 60 minutes until we go LIVE! 🚂💨

The track is laid, the weight distribution is calculated, and we are ready to show you the "Physics of Failure."

Will the train stay on the tracks? Let's find out together.

Ha ha yeah, we are still working on the physics. Mass and friction will play pivotal role here.

Thanks @tachyoneddy.bsky.social! ❤️

We have been working on railyard.gg/games/model-... for a while now and are actively seeking players for our early prototype and build with their feedback.

We are also doing a livestream on Friday. Watch for the latest updates www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL2w...

You hate to see a train derail, but in a sim it's worse if they don't do a good job of it. This looks like they did a good job.

Well, if you have a real model train you've been here before. Sometimes they refuse to go on the tracks but it's usually a "you" problem... at least with Second Quest you can blame it on the devs.
