Zweig directed that attention to the word “codeless” before “game development engine,” but most major game engines have a visual development solution in the present day just as Buildbox has its own scripting functionality for advanced users. Twitter users were quick to point out that Buildbox uses the word “engine” just about everywhere. Apples and oranges to compare Buildbox to any game engine 🙂- JZ ⚾️ May 18, 2021
#BUILDBOX CLASSIC SOFTWARE#
Buildbox is software that provides a service : allowing our creators to make games without writing code. Thanks Kenney! Love the feedback! Remember Buildbox is not an engine and we don't compete with game engines. So, what is it? “Buildbox is software that provides a service: allowing to make games without writing code.” To make matters infinitely more confusing, CEO Jonathan Zweig set out to correct what he seemed to perceive as misconceptions about the very nature of Buildbox in threads started by famed asset creator, most surprising, Zweig stated several times that Buildbox is “not an engine.” Per the same policy page, revenue sharing obligations cover not just integrated ad revenue, but also premium sales, subscription fees, in-app purchases, and other “independent revenue” apparently as determined by Buildbox/AppOnboard. In the free tier, users owe 70% of revenue above just a $5 threshold.
For the higher tiers, lower percentages are collected after higher thresholds are reached–that’s 30% after $50 for Plus users, 10% after $2,500 for Pro. On this third separate page, Buildbox acknowledges the “Default” revenue share is 70% to Buildbox, 30% to the user. Since this has literally no meaning, users can hunt down a “rev share” details link in the collapsed FAQs. It stands out that where other tiers list a revenue share percentage and a share threshold dollar amount, the free tier lists “Default” in both fields. Indeed, the tiers for what they now call Buildbox Classic and Buildbox 3 both include a free option.

In a whirlwind of celebratory announcements on the Buildbox blog, Zweig mentions that all users will soon have the option to use Buildbox for free as part of the company’s new pricing tiers. “Default” means 70% to Buildbox after $5 threshold

A full interview write-up is coming soon.
#BUILDBOX CLASSIC UPDATE#
Update 7/21/21: CodeWritePlay interviewed Buildbox CEO, Jonathan Zweig, and SVP Design, Doug Manson, for the GameDev Breakdown podcast. Update 5/23/21: Per Buildbox CEO, Jonathan Zweig’s invitation, check out our 5 open questions for Buildbox. Here are the changes, Zweig’s comments, and a theory about what might be coming next. Ultimately it comes down to the visuals that you can design.“Buildbox is not an engine and we don’t compete with game engines.” Jonathan Zweig, CEO, Buildboxīuildbox CEO Jonathan Zweig took to Twitter Tuesday to defend changes to the company’s pricing structure and, apparently, reject Buildbox’s own brand messaging in a series of Tweets that raised many unanswered questions. The visual quality of my games has often left people sceptical as to whether I really created them with Buildbox. I can quickly and easily throw ideas together to help make an informed decision regarding which one to take forward. I also find both to be exceptional prototyping tools.
I definitely find Buildbox Classic easier to get to grips with but I’m also comfortable working in Buildbox 3 where I’m able to build 3D experiences that I personally find harder to achieve in alternative products such as Unity or Unreal Engine. Buildbox 3 on the other hand uses a more flexible and powerful node based system that gives greater flexibility to designers who are willing to learn some basic coding principles. Classic is a simple but powerful drag & drop suite of tools that allow artists to quickly create very casual and addictive 2D games. The improve productivity with the payroll software also comes in two flavours – Buildbox Classic and Buildbox 3. It’s really simple to construct scenes and drop-in assets.īuildbox is perfect for me as its focus is primarily on mobile game development.
