March 3rd, 2008 | by Randy |


Platinum Arts Sandbox

Platinum Arts Sandbox is a game design tool that allows users to quickly and easily create and edit their own worlds in game, even cooperatively. It is free, open source, and easy to use. In addition it now features cart mode where players can create their own race courses and drive on it with an ogre riding his hovercart! Also, it now features updated particle menus where players can easily create their own particle effects.

  • Size: 65.8 MB
  • OS: Windows/Linux

Platinum Arts Sandbox is a great world/level creation tool for all levels of developers and ages!
This release has so many new features that there is no way I could give it justice in only a few sentences. It has been updated far beyond the 1.2 version in so many ways.
Here are the key improvements featured in this version:

  • Driveable Carts via kartmode complete with a hovercart model
  • New ogre model for 3rd person mode (press 9 to use it!)
  • Codebase significantly updated including md5 support!
  • New menu (still very much WIP, but features lots of cool stuff!!)
  • Many New Maps: Floating Island Castle, House, ParticleShowcase (shows off all the cool particle effects!!), an updated tutorial map and a race track for kartmode!
  • Lots of code cleanup thanks to the hard work of Hirato!!
  • New higher quality texture set including lava!
  • Moving platforms and elevators (featured in the castle map)

This release is mainly thanks to these great guys:

  • Hirato: Massive contributor to this release through coding, mapping, the new menu, etc. Without him this release wouldn’t be nearly as solid and advanced.
  • Quin: Contributed Cart Code
  • Geartrooper: Contributed Cart Models
  • Cube 2 Community: Providing constantly updated source code and various other help and support
