gmod

Garry's Mod, often abbreviated as Gmod, is a sandbox physics game developed by Facepunch Studios and published by Valve. It is a modification of Valve's Source engine, initially released in 2006. Gmod provides players with an open-ended environment where they can manipulate objects, characters, and props using a physics gun and other tools. The game's core gameplay revolves around creativity and experimentation, with no set objectives or goals.

Players can spawn a vast array of entities, including characters from various Valve games, furniture, vehicles, and building materials. These entities can be posed, welded together, and animated using the game's built-in tools. The physics engine allows for realistic interactions between objects, enabling players to construct complex contraptions, vehicles, and Rube Goldberg machines.

A significant aspect of Gmod's longevity and popularity is its extensive modding community. Users can create and share their own custom content, such as new weapons, game modes, models, and scripts, through the Steam Workshop. This user-generated content has led to a diverse range of gameplay experiences within Gmod, from role-playing servers and survival modes to intricate puzzle challenges and social hangouts. The game's flexibility and the constant influx of new content keep the gameplay fresh and engaging for a wide audience.
