[br]After launching several fancy projects, including a tool to teach coding, Google's in-house incubator, Area 120, has launched a video game dedicated to making games.[br][br]The platform, dubbed Game Builder, works like a regular video game and lets you create 3D Minecraft-like games.[br][br]And, it works even for those who don't know how to code or have any prior game design experience.[br][br]Here's more.[br][br]How Game Builder works[br][br]The Game Builder lands you in an empty sandbox where you can drag and drop cards to create your own gaming world, complete with characters and scenery.[br][br]You can create your own game-related elements (like a scoreboard) and choose a series of predefined commands to determine how those elements would interact with each other.[br][br]The whole 'visual programming' is just like playing another game.[br][br]You can also take things up a notch[br][br]Primarily, the Game Builder and its interaction system, relying on 'if this then that' logic, has been designed for those who don't know how to code.[br][br]But if you have some knowledge, there's an option to kick things up a notch and build your own character cards and interactions in JavaScript.[br][br]Notably, it has thousands of 3D models to work with and build characters.[br][br][br]Plus, there's an option to build with friends[br][br]Game Builder not only allows you to build and share games with friends, but also serves as a platform to collaborate with friends to make new ones.[br][br]So, simply put, you and your friend would be able to build and play together; you will also have the option to invite them to try as you build and explore their creations.[br][br]Game Builder is free for Windows and Mac users[br][br]Now, if that interests you, try Game Builder right away.[br][br]The prototype version of the platform is available for free on Steam for Windows and MacOS.[br][br]It has got really positive reviews, but there is no word on when the final release of the tool would be available for any of the two operating systems.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India.... |
