Buildbox Free Is Now Available!

Buildbox Free

We’ve just released Buildbox Free, a completely free version of our no-code game development software that anyone can download. Our software has unique creation layers that make it super easy to build out your game quickly. No previous coding or design experience is required. You can jump right in and start creating. It’s that easy. Buildbox Free is the latest version of our Buildbox 3 software. So, you’ll have full access to all of our new game building features for making both 2D and 3D games. 

Let’s take a closer look at Buildbox Free! 

Buildbox Free 

Game Wizards & Interactive Tutorials

Getting started in Buildbox Free is easy. We have a quick-start guide that leads you through the initial game setup for both 2D and 3D game creation. There are also mini interactive tutorials that cover game design basics like how to make a character or enemy. It’s a great way to learn the ropes and a handy resource for new developers. 

300+ Pre-loaded 2D And 3D Smart Assets 

There’s also an entire built-in library of smart assets with pre-set animations that you can use to build out your game. They speed up game development and allow you to add trendy gameplay mechanics with a simple click. We have over 300 pre-loaded 2D and 3D smart assets in the Buildbox Asset Library to help you bring your game come to life! 

Brainboxes 

A new feature that’s also available in Buildbox Free is brainboxes. They’re drag-and-drop animation components with built-in logic that you can add to any character or object in your game. You can quickly add a brainbox to make the character in your game walk or jump or a vehicle drive. With brainboxes, you can build a whole game without ever using smart assets or even nodes. It’s totally up to you. 

Easy Monetization  

Monetizing your game is also super simple. In Buildbox Free, there’s a plug-and-play ad integration feature that lets you easily integrate top SDKs, like AdMob or IronSource, to generate revenue on auto-pilot. 

Advanced Options 

With Buildbox Free, you can further customize your game with our advanced node system. Nodes allow you to create advanced logic for any character or object in your game. There’s also an option to build your own nodes to use in your game or share them with others. 

You can build designated 2D worlds or 3D worlds and navigate through them easily in fly camera mode. There have been over 100 improvements to this version of Buildbox to make game development both easier and faster. We can’t wait to see what you create with Buildbox Free!

    Someone posted this method before me, to get your license key:

    “…1: Sign into buildbox
    2: Go to licenses
    3 : Under buildbox 3 click details
    your license key should show up there…”

    It worked excellent for me. Hope this helps too.
    Buildbox is excellent I like it. Thanks to Buildbox makers for making a nocode game engine and making it free and accessible.
    I like it alot.

    Buildbox 3 won’t open. I already used buildbox 2. Disinstall and reinstall builbox 3 and it is stuck in loading window, internal.exe not responding and then became all black and if iclick on the window crash buildbox.

  • noli says:

    I tried the template, when I tried to preview it, the play button works fine but I cannot see the characters or objects. When I click the debug mode in preview it shows wireframe.

  • noli says:

    Every time I open BB, it always has Network Error. Can’t connect to server. I always have to click retry several times.
    I cannot use it in my 23″ monitor maximize, the pull-down menu does not work, but when I Restore Down it is good, I can pull down the menu File Edit, Add, etc.
    I’m following the tutorial Beginner: Jump Avoidance and I cannot find the Defeat the option in the Add Brain Box. Did it change in the Free Version?

    a window will appear below asking you to enter a license key, the cursor will blink with a request to enter an activation code. So where to get it?

    • Tiana Crump says:

  • Peter says:

    So finally the skinny on “free”

    1 world
    no in-app purchases
    fixed buildbox splash screen
    No desktop export i mean why?)
    1 ad network (ad mob)

    And then it jumps to PRO at $500pa.

    Indie was a MUCH fairer plan.
    I hope you are keeping that?

  • vikas says:
