addedIn 2022 Modbox was acquired from Alientrap by a large tech company. The Modbox dev team also moved to the company, and had a positive experience working on a new version of Modbox. But unfortunately development on Modbox paused in 2023, and some of the Modbox team returned to Alientrap to work on new projects.

changedI apologize that we didn't announce anything sooner. It wasn't certain development had stopped, or that it was okay for Alientrap to announce. But it's now clear there won't be any more updates for Modbox. The '3.0' version was such a large change that it would have meant no older creations were compatible, so wasn't releasable without a lot more development work. We also looked into the option of Alientrap being able to update 'Modbox 2.0' ourselves, but it's unfortunately not possible. Thankfully we were able to keep the version of Modbox on Steam as is - including the Steam workshop and online servers.
