The game promises a “unique user interface” that will allow someone to easily customize and create their game, even sell their game across multiple platforms without previous experience. It’s a tall order, and a surprisingly complicated claim. 

As someone involved in game development, I’ve seen first hand the complexity that goes into creating games. Usually you need a team of incredibly talented individuals across multiple disciplines to even think about having a successful project. Having a great idea isn’t even half the battle — it’s usually the easiest part. With that in mind, it should be exciting to see if Buildbox can live up to its claim and actually produce a game development engine that anyone can use, and monetize.
