We have improved stickmen a lot, I won\'t give you any spoilers.

Also, for 2026 we will be making sand:box fully moddable. so we can all make everything we ever dreamed of! we have already started working on it and have a experimental prototype already, but it will take a lot more work and testing before we can release it.

Happy Holidays everyone!\n

We're super excited to announce a massive new update that introduces a whole new game dynamic that completely changes how you play sand:box... playable characters!

Now you can design levels that you can actually play, allowing you to interact with everything and even play multi-player. We plan to add more objects to use fairly soon, but we rushed this out early so you have something to play for Christmas, enjoy!
