The s&field Recreation Engine (we explored in depth in February of 2025), Facepunch Studios non secular successor and a full-blown recreation engine in it’s personal proper, is now open sourced. Facepunch made the next announcement with their most up-to-date 25.11.26 replace:
s&field is now open supply beneath MIT license, you’ll be able to get it on GitHub and construct the engine nevertheless you need.
Clearly this isn’t the Supply 2 code, that’s as much as Valve to open supply if they need. For us Supply 2 is offering decrease stage programs, all our excessive stage programs are C# like all the editor, networking, scene system, UI, and far more..
What this implies is you’ll be able to view, modify, copy any of our code to assist enhance s&field with pull requests, or keep your personal fork on your standalone video games, and even simply take the code on your personal engine.
It might sound odd from a enterprise perspective to make an engine and provides it away without spending a dime with no royalties and to offer all of the code away beneath open supply. However we’re a bunch of nerds that love what we’re creating, we would like everybody to make use of it in no matter means they need, we need to present alternatives.
Open supply is nice for the sport dev ecosystem, engines like Godot are superior, we must always have extra of it as a result of everybody wins.
