The upcoming video essay on Tetris is going to cover how, despite having over 200 officially licensed versions, Tetris has evolved over time from that of a puzzle game to numerous other experiences.

It's a player-versus-player (pvp) game. It's an artistic experience. It's another game to sell copies to people who loved Tetris on the gameboy.

But, more importantly, we should analyze how Tetris is designed at its core and what developers are doing to make each experience of Tetris into something that's memorable in its own right.

S&box is an up-and-coming game engine being developed by Facepunch Studios being derived from Valve's Source 2.

Valve long promised to release a Source 2 SDK that would be free to use for all developers wanting to publish to Steam. Unfortunately this has yet to release.

Facepunch is developing the engine such that developers will be able to compile their own binaries using their brand new, Unity-like framework.
