So I thought I\u2019d finally get involved with Ludum Dare on the next gamejam but this October Challenge is great and I\u2019m working on my game\/tool already so why not start now!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be working on a game tool named CraftStudio<\/strong> which someone called \u201cthe Minecraft of game engines<\/strong>\u201c. It\u2019s a multiplayer tool for making games, in real-time. Instead of just terraforming maps \u00e0 la Minecraft, you can also build your own cubic 3d models collaboratively, paint them and (will be able to) setup your own behaviors, scripts and stuff. You could call it a \u201cmultiplayer low-end Unity\u201d and you wouldn\u2019t be far off! It\u2019s for all of us people who like to craft games (& movies) just because we can, and I\u2019m building it with newbies in mind! (you can tell I\u2019m excited by the number of exclamation marks I\u2019m putting in this post!!!)<\/span><\/p>\n

A Super Meat Boy model built in CraftStudio!<\/p><\/div>\n

Right now I\u2019ve already pushed out a free pre-alpha build<\/a> (that you can grab at http:\/\/craftstud.io\/<\/a>). The basics for modeling are in but it\u2019s pretty limited. I\u2019ll push (automatic) updates about once a week.<\/p>\n

So, my self-devised goal for this October Challenge will be to get CraftStudio out of pre-alpha into alpha land, and start selling it at the same time!<\/p>\n

You can follow me at @elisee<\/a>\u00a0(more general stuff) or at @craftstudiodev<\/a>\u00a0(exclusively CraftStudio-related!)<\/p>\n
