Sandbox 1.0 is here!

**PSmonkey** · August 21st, 2006, 05:09

I was hoping it would turn out better but due to lack of sleep adding up now out of time, a few corners were cut.

Anyways go try out my neoflash compo entry. I probably will only get 3rd place for this.

Do note tho, I plan to update the game this week to fix for stuff I did not have enough time to do.

i downloaded and it isnt coming up

EDIT: nevermind realized my mistake... needed art folder

EDIT:SaNDBOX So far so good... love flying boxes around

only thing is not being able to return to menu is killing me!

Bowling: fun!... i just got a strike after about 40 trys... just the box should be a sphere (i bet you already knew that... and you cant roll twice... and the box never stops

Demolition: is pretty fun (high score 197) i would love to see a combo of sandbox and demolition

Battle:.. pretty fun too.. just that the boxes fly out around the ship.. not just from the ship

Feedback is heavly needed guys. So if there is any ideas you think will make it better. Please tell me.

Something I forgot to mention. The greatest thing about sandbox is the fact it's all setup by theme.ini files. You can easly modify exsisting themes or even create your own.

Another nice feature is I setup AT3 playback in a way that the game should still be 2.0+ compatible. Just have to pop in an old game.

Yeah sorry about that. It was either menu return or adding bowling. While maybe not the best choice, it did alow me to fix and expand my physics system a bit to suport sphears soon (just did not have time for geometry so hense the box).

you have made one of my dreams come true monkey...you have given me a physics engine

well now anyway...

as you said there are edits your going to be doing.... i did come across a bug today though.....it was in demolition.....where what happened was....one block went out of the surrounding box....and gave me this huge score....( something like 15,500 + ) ill be running from this point on ir to take ss of when these bugs do happen so i can show you

so far....thats the only bug.....other than one or 2 crashes i had.. VERY well done and put together...

so far.....demolition is my favorite mode.....( because you can go into matrix on explosion

)

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

PS. ill be making a bunch of themes for this.....i have a good bunch in my head as we speak....just need to make them into themes and write there theme files out

Great game, it could really fun if you put time into developing it even better. ( I hope you take a break to work on your fps soon though)

Anyways to celebrate this great release I have decided to make a skin:
