Technical Documentation

Game Maker is a no-code software with a drag-and-drop interface for creating Experiences, such as games, for The Sandbox Game. Templates are available to accelerate your creative workflows.

In Game Maker, Experiences can be built and tested or shared for free with the community in the Gallery. You may apply for early access to publish Experiences to your virtual LANDs, which is playable via the metaverse Game Client and will include monetisation tools for the public in the future. View the Map or Events pages to start playing.
