Neck & Neck

Game Jam: Final Four Roundabout has been eliminated and earns 5th place for £5000. Four finalists remain, the next round of votes is now open. Citizen 2.0 I've updated the citizen.

Update 26.09.01

A new update has been released, you can view the full changes on our blog post. https://sbox.game/news/update-26-09-01 New Main Menu I am aware that us re-doing the menu is a meme at this point, but the main menu has once again been rebuilt.   The common complaint we get is that there are no good games. I think there are good games but we're not sufficiently putting them in front of people. Their instinct is the click on the server browser and find games there, which is the wrong way...
