Facepunch Studios LTD (commonly referred to as Facepunch, FPS, or FP) is a British independent video game development company headquartered in Walsall, England officially founded in March 2009〔 by Garry Newman. The company is most known for its sandbox video games ''Garry's Mod'' and ''Rust''. ==History== Facepunch Studios was originally developed under the partnership of Garry Newman, Matthew Schwenk, Bryn Shurman, and Arthur Lee for the video game Facewound, in 2003. The group adopted Facepunch Studios as a company name to avoid looking “unprofessional”; and to further the development of their side scroller, the Facepunch forum was also established.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070206025706/http://www.facewound.com/?s=information )〕 The name "Facepunch" came from the brainstorming of names for the game Facewound - where something "stupidly macho" was required. Two names were chosen at the end: Facepunch and Facewound. Facewound was used for the game, but Facepunch was deemed "too funny sounding to just leave to die" - and so was used as the name for the company. In 2004, Garry Newman started the development of Garry’s Mod, originally a side project; which eventually took over the Facewound forum as well as most of Garry’s time. Facewound was later postponed and cancelled, and Facepunch Studio disbanded. Garry’s Mod has now become the flagship game of Facepunch Studios, and as of November 2013, the game has sold 3.5 million copies, regularly being one of the top played Steam games, having been released near Steam's inception. The studio has 20 employees working on Rust and 5 of them are working on prototypes like ''Deuce'' or ''Space Game''.〔 On September 24, 2014, Garry Newman acquired Before and the developer working on it, Bill Lowe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Facepunch Studios」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
