Google's "Game Builder" No Experience Required

Nothing new, it looks like Minecraft ,Roblox, Struckd and many others.
It has the same limitations :
- Must be connected online to their server
- no license to publish a game as a stand alone
- It's very limited in terms of programming and graphic customization

The programming card system is very very light, too much missing functionality.
I'm not sure the fastest and best way to build some level is by having to control a character and it's camera LOL

It's just another Minecraft like, it might be great for beginners, non coders and people that just want to have fun.

 

Honestly, this is dramatically easier to use than any of those things as a creation tool. Minecraft STILL requires actual coding knowledge, Roblox's creation tools are a nightmare to use, and Struckd is narrow enough in scope that making a variety of games is a nightmare.

 

Still holding the LittleBigPlanet franchise as my favourite.

 

I have know were to download it when I click the steam link it just brings me to the main page, I look it up and I find nothing!!! Please help me.

 

Really? I googled it and it was on the first page:

https://github.com/googlearchive/gamebuilder

Anyway, its not developed anymore - its archived.

 

Typical Google. Honestly, I see Google today as a child with ADHD. They get all serious about something, and before you know it they've dropped it and moved on to the next flashy thing. Rinse/repeat. That will continue until their search and advertising revenue that enables this behavior starts to dry up, and they actually need one of their side projects to be successful.

 

Requires four premium plugins costing a total of $155, and at least one of them is an entire major version different from the release it was developed with so not only will you be down the money you'll be down the time it will take to make it functional again.

Learn game development properly. Trying to use solutions like this to bypass the need to learn anything is a dead end as was clearly demonstrated by Google when they canned the project.

 

Or play dreams on ps4/ps5, if you want to do this type of thing and dont care about the commercial aspects of gamedev If you do but want something closer to this, try roblox. But eventually, to make commercial/successful games you often need to learn actual gamedev

 

Google does what every other tech company do: throw almost everything on the wall and see what sticks. They keep what sticks and lose what falls off. And actually this means that they are in search for those side services what can be successful besides the ad revenue.
