Buildbox

TBH, the product is mediocre at best. For absolute beginners, it MIGHT be OK but still requires a lot of learning to make use of. For that effort, I suggest several other options for beginners I mentor and in our local communities. The REAL reason to avoid is how they treat their customers and their billing practices. As others have noted, BB/AOB has always been a marketing play; sell the next package and don't worry about the existing product/customers. Same as others, we were hit with an auto renewal after they failed to respond to our cancellation requests and then cited they never received it. Customer satisfaction is NOT on their radar. We would have gladly revisited if there were future versions. But if you can't trust their customer care, you can't trust where else they'll short change product/service/support. HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVOIDING. There are other great options out there without the heavy sale / scammy feelings.

Really cool! Didn't know that it was used to build Color Switch (I played a ton with that game years ago). Definitely recommend this to my brother. He was hoping to build game himself.

I tried BB years ago and I was always intrigued by what they were trying to do but now BB is at a new dimension...dare I say even ready to take on Unity? The visual coding aspect is a dream come true and is fantastically implemented in BB at the heart of the entire app....I can only imagine what it will blossom into in a few months..

They don't treat their customers fairly IMO. I recently lost my job to Covid-19, and I forgot to cancel my Buildbox Indie subscription in all the turmoil. This week they auto renewed my subscription for $199 and they refuse to give me a refund, even though I don't use it anymore. There are many more such stories. Since AppOnBoard acquired this company I no longer have faith in the Buildbox brand. Where in the world is Trey Smith?

What a good proposal they bring us friend, really quite interesting since in these times technology moves by leaps and bounds and this is one of them being able to start your own game is excellent and quite educational

Ensure it does not crash every 5 to 15 minutes requiring a full launch of the program and loss of work when building a game And please do full beta testing and not ask the customers to be a beta tester for this product

Buildbox is by far the easiest game builder I have ever used, I started writing in Pascal on a commodore 64, I use blender, use to build games in unity and unreal, tried others but hate coding, even with how fairly easy C++ is I would rather design than code. I would give Buildbox an A+ for ease of use.. Not a huge learning curve. I really started messing with it for a platform for my music, now I love the design. I have built maybe 20 games learning the system and am almost ready to go for a full on in a build, I love this system.

This is the future!! Simple and clear. I think it's perfect for artists, designers, for everyone who just have the idea and want to turn it into the reality. I hope they will develop this further and one day we will wake up with a powerful software in our hands
