What developers think of Steam reviews
By Rick Lane • 2 years ago • 119
Since 2013, Steam has allowed its users to leave reviews on the Steam page of games they have purchased. Using the system, players can leave a written description of the game in question, and then award it a binary "Recommended" or "Not Recommended" rating. These reviews are then aggregated into "recent" and "overall" ratings for the game which are displayed on the game's Steam page.…

Rust's designer on casting off the early access 'crutch'
By Brendan Caldwell • 2 years ago • 7
In Rust, everything comes from a single rock. From rifles to radiation suits, it's all thanks to a naked caveman hitting things with a big stone. Today, if you were to examine a family tree of the survival genre, you'd see Subnautica and No Man's Sky sitting on the same level. Distant cousins who can't stand to be in the same room as each other.…

Rust Adds Item Store For Modders To Sell Cosmetics
By Graham Smith • 4 years ago • 30
Rust [official site] now has a microtransaction item store, through which players can buy cosmetic items direct from their creators. The idea is that modders can add and profit from the sale of their own work. Perhaps most interestingly, this is all happening through Steam itself using new 'Item Store' functionality.

Rust Update: Female Models, Steam Inventory Items
By Philippa Warr • 4 years ago • 84
Female character models are now available in Rust [official site] (but only for server admins during the testing phase). When the models do go fully live it won't be as a "pick your avatar" option. Instead you'll have a male or female avatar permanently assigned to your Steam ID. It's the same deal with how race (or at least skin tone) is assigned in the…
Rust Is Making Really Rather A Lot Of Money
By John Walker • 6 years ago • 69
Over the years of the existence of Garry's Mod, it's been a fun game to try to admiringly calculate just how rich it's made creator Garry Newman. Since he's been especially open with sales figures, and since the game is selling double the number of copies with each passing year, it means that currently he has most of the money that exists. And as the…

Feature: Morally Corrosive
Impressions: Rust
By Rich Stanton • 6 years ago • 141
I was hunting a deer with a rock, as you do, when I heard a voice. "We're not going to kill you." A shot cracked past my head and the deer slumped to the ground. I turned around to see two guys wearing kevlar and toting M4 rifles. Having recently spawned, my offensive options were a stone and some green trousers. "Take the deer. It's…

Garry On Garry's Mod's Endlessly Rising Sales Figures
Last week, Garry Newman tweeted a sales chart that backed up what we already knew: that his game Garry's Mod is extremely successful and that its sales have not slowed down since its release back in 2006. The extra detail was a little surprising though. July 2013 was the game's best month ever in terms of copies sold, the number of copies sold doubles each…
