About

With Buildbox, creating games is simple. There is no programming needed. Choose from various templates, Smart Assets™, or Brainboxes™ to get started. Then preview your game in real-time. You can even make your own game from scratch. The only limit is your imagination. Buildbox 3 is our most advanced game creation software! With it, you can create both 3D and 2D games using no-code Smart Assets™ and Brainboxes™ or advanced low-code options. Buildbox Classic is our traditional drag and drop game maker.

With our powerful software, we're breaking down the barriers of game development for creators like you. We believe that anyone should get the opportunity to bring their ideas to life. The only skill you need is imagination. And we're just getting started!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I really like how easy BuildBox is to use. It's a key pillar in the no code movement that makes it really easy for people like me to create new games. I have noticed that many titles from BuildBox have made it to the top 100 on the App Store.

Cons

  • I wish there was an asset store for BuildBox kind of like how Unity has. That way I could drag and drop a new assets without having to search on Turbo squid etc I hope that they will bring this into BuildBox someday.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Roblox Studio is feature-rich, yet easy to get started with. There are tons of assets, created by either Roblox or other users, to use in your games. Creating your own games in Roblox Studio is extremely fun and addictive. As Roblox is a social platform with millions of users, it is well suited for multiplayer experiences and it is easy to publish your games for others to play. Documentation is alright and if you get puzzled sometimes, you can almost always find someone who has had the same problem at the DevForum. The rate at which new features are released is amazing! Roblox boasts some pretty advanced and nifty technology such as support for VR and motion capturing from videos.
  • You can make your experiences on Roblox for free using the Lua language. There are a lot of experiences on Roblox that you can play, some free and some paid using Robux or Premium.

Cons

  • Support is driven by so called AI, which should rather be called artificial *un*intelligence as it fails to understand your issues like a 100% of the time and keeps repeating the same automated answers over and over again, which is not of any help at all. Roblox do not seem to care much about bugs. Some bugs that would be easy to fix, remain unresolved for months and even years. Lua is a bit of an odd language in my opinion. If I had got to choose I would have gone with some more "normal" language like C# or Javascript. Also, the script editor integrated in Roblox Studio lacks some great features found in VS Code, such as multicaret editing to mention one. As Roblox is mostly targeted to kids, there are some restrictions limiting your creative freedom. Games like Leisure Suite Larry or GTA would have been banned on Roblox. There are some issues with the GUI, like that the stacking of panels is reset when restarting Studio. Roblox servers are often down, which seems to have gotten worse during the past year. The most annoying thing is that when Roblox is down, so is Roblox Studio and you can't develop anything during the downtime.
  • If you have an account under 13 (if the birthday of the account is under 13 years), you can not say numbers, which is annoying.
