A surprise announcement came through this Sunday for a game many expected to never receive a sequel. Garry Newman, the creator of the mod-focused sandbox game Garry's Mod, is working on Garry's Mod 2. The developer revealed Garry's Mod 2's development on Twitter Sunday morning via a meme, which is awkwardly appropriate for the game.
Using the infamous Distracted Boyfriend meme, in which a boyfriend looks distractedly at another woman while his partner looks on aghast, Newman dropped his announcement. The boyfriend is labeled "Me," his girlfriend is labeled, "Everything," and the woman he's looking at is, "Making GMOD 2." If it was anyone else, or any other game, it'd be seen as a joke.
Newman posted a follow-up message on Twitter thanking fans of Garry's Mod for their support. "Holy ****, thanks for the support, hope you're not gonna be disappointed when you find out that gmod 2 is an iOS match 3 game made in unity." This post is absolutely a joke.
Garry's Mod, for those unfamiliar, allowed users to use its physics-based sandbox to create an array of creative small games and machinima. The works produced with Garry's Mod were both very fun and terribly weird. A Garry's Mod 2 potentially built on Valve's Source 2 engine with a virtual reality toolkit would bring about a new era of weird creations. It's the sequel PC gamers never knew they were missing.
Garry's Mod 2 has no confirmed release window but is almost certainly coming to PC.
