A big thank you to the fine folks over at Pixelcrafters.net for the article about Platinum Arts Sandbox Game Maker! Here is a nice excerpt 🙂
“So what is Sandbox Gamemaker? It’s a fairly robust game creator along the lines of Project Spark, CraftStudio, and LittleBigPlanet. Sandbox is based on the open source Cube 2 Engine and can be used to make some pretty impressive levels right out of the box. I had a lot of fun just loading up some of the sample levels and playing around with them. The interface felt a little rough around the edges but once I found the list of keyboard shortcuts I found myself having a lot of fun just moving stuff around, playing with the terrain and changing textures.”
