Platinum Arts Sandbox is an open source easy to use standalone Free 3D Game Maker and 3D Game Design program currently being used in many schools throughout the world that allows kids and adults to create their own video games, worlds, levels, save the princess adventures and quests, even cooperatively! The goal is to make it accessible to kids but also powerful enough for full game projects. With a simple click and roll of a mouse wheel users can modify the world however they want. In the words of Meg, a nine year old Sandbox whiz, “Press Edit and go fulfill your dreams!”. Now features new game modes such as Save The Princess, sidescroller, machinima, kartmode, RPG, and more!

We have a new patch for our popular Save The Princess maps!  Please go to our download page and then extract these files into your /packages/base folder and replace the existing files!  This should fix some bugs that were making the maps not act how they should :)  As a note the maps have been considered quite challenging!!  Do you have what it takes to save the most beautiful princess in the world?

In addition we have recently been featured at a Linux Conference in Australia! Miniconf was an awesome experience because I was able to give the talk over Skype to our folk from down under!  For more information about the the conference here is a listing of the presentations.  Here is a picture of our happy audience enjoying me babbling!!!!

Check out our tutorial video!!  I'm quite amazed actually at how many messages I get a day regarding Sandbox because of the video :)
