 * This mode is likely to be influenced by a popular sandbox game, Garry's Mod.
 * Unlike Valve Hammer Editor, this mode does not support curve splicing. Objects in it are in larger ratios.
 * This mode is similar to an open source game, Cube and Cube 2: Sauerbraten with the Edit mode.
 * Studio Mode has been in development since the start of 2016. As a result, updates slowed down in 2016 up until its release in 2017. The only new mode that was added during this time was Playroom.
