Facepunch Studios

Facepunch is an independent, self-published game development studio. It made Garry's Mod, a physics sandbox built on Valve's Source engine, and Rust, a survival game available on PC via Steam and on Console, alongside Chippy, a twin-stick bullet-hell shooter, and s&box, a game creation platform built on the Source 2 engine. Its games have sold 47.5 million copies, with 60.6 million skins and items sold.

It avoids conventional management, with the team deciding together what's best for the game, and describes an open, collaborative and welcoming work environment. It is over 110 people strong and growing carefully.
