Thanks to options offered by Havoc Physics Engine and excellent ragdoll we can freely modify movement of our characters or model their facial expressions. Number of combination is enormous, and the only limitation is our own imagination. Then we can put enemies and NPCs – nothing prevents us from putting hordes of zombies in City 17, or putting gentlemen in tuxedo behind roaring cannons of World War II. This allows us to create any environment: futuristic scenery from Half-Life 2, battlefield of World War II from Day of Defeat, or to set horror-like atmosphere known from Left 4 Dead series. This gives us access to thousands of models, weapons, characters, skins or items from a huge library of Valve’s games, as well as modifications and scripts made by players themselves, using Lua programming language, and published in special workshop on Steam platform. To fully enjoy possibilities offered by Garry’s Mod, we just need to have any game that uses Source engine installed, for example Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source or Left 4 Dead. Since then it has been distributed and supported by this platform as a fully-fledged, commercial application, continually growing and gathering a community of millions of users.
On 10th of November, 2006, a version marked as 10 had officially debuted on Steam.
It quickly gained many followers, stimulating its quick development. First version of Gmod has been created in 2004 by an enthusiast, Garry Newman, and has been honored with many Mod of the Year awards, given by GameSpy, Mod DB, and PC Gamers, among others.
