s&box Explorer

Introducing s&box Explorer

I’ve been working on a package browser for s&box that makes it easier to discover games, maps, and other content from the community.

What It Does

s&box Explorer is a web-based tool for browsing packages from the s&box ecosystem. You can search for content, view package details, and keep track of your favorites.

The site pulls data from the official s&box API and caches it locally for faster loading. Most pages load in under 200ms once cached.

Current Features

  • Search packages with filters (type, organization, tags)
  • View detailed package information and media
  • Steam login to save favorites and preferences
  • Follow packages for update notifications (currently not working correctly)
  • Browse trending content via UGC charts
  • Multiple themes and language support
  • User profiles and reputation system

Work in Progress

The site is still being actively developed. Some features are experimental and may change. If you run into bugs or have suggestions, feel free to reach out.

I’m working on improving performance, adding more customization options, and refining existing features based on feedback.

Try It Out

You can check it out at sbox.grimtech.co.uk

No account needed to browse, but logging in with Steam unlocks additional features like favorites and notifications.

The End – WIP

Original map created by Maxdragonn over on the Gmod workshop – All I did was give it a new lick of paint and models from asset.party!

You can play it today! “map pcjr.sb_theend” in console – https://asset.party/pcjr/sb_theend

The Poolrooms

I began crafting a map for the Crazy Eights gamemode titled “The Poolrooms” about a week ago. It’s a serene, uncomplicated liminal space-inspired map. I want to share some images of my progress with you – the first three are slightly older shots.

As part of my map-making process, I designed several planetary skins to use on “The Poolrooms” map. However, I only ended up utilizing the ones for Mars and Venus.

Without further ado, I present to you the latest snapshots of “The Poolrooms” map in its current state!

For those who have access to s&box, I highly recommend testing out the “Crazy Eights” gamemode and selecting pcjr.poolrooms. Alternatively, you can simply type “map pcjr.poolrooms” in the console to jump right into the map. If you’re interested in checking out the asset.party submission, you can find it here: https://asset.party/pcjr/poolrooms.

Inactive? s&box? Twitter?

It does seem like I’m inactive, but I’m still around and alive. I’ve been mainly enjoying messing around with s&box. Been slowly working on projects and a WHOLE bunch of AI stuff. Here are some examples of my tweets. Feel free to follow!

s&box is looking nice and progressing so fast
