My dream for Buildbox: At the highest level I want Buildbox to be the #1 game development environment available. At the very least I want it to be on par with Unity and Unreal game engines. I want the debate to be about what to choose between those three not the last two. I need to be able to create anything my imagination can aspire too. Export to EVERY available platform on Mobile or Console, Mac or PC. No bottlenecks. No roadblocks. No restrictions. No bugs. And as simple as drag-and-drop. Lets Do It.
I also think this would be good because it would give us the chance to get used to the node system before bb 3.0 comes out! @TreySmith
Yes, I think putting the js api/node system into 2.3 is the best thing that could happen to Buildbox at this point. I don't see BB3 (3D) coming anytime soon this year, I would go as far as to say it will be summer of 2019 until we have something to work with. Getting out Buildbox 2.5 with the js api/node system would make totally sense at this point and I would have no problem to wait for Buildbox 3 as long as it takes. Actually, to have a Buildbox 2.5 with this feature is all I need at the moment. Like if you agree! Report the post if you disagree hahaha
We really need the js api/node system in 2.3 I don't care as much about 3D. This will allow us to be able to do WAY more!!! @AndyG definitely a good thread. Let's just hope that @TreySmith listens!!
I'm with this all the way. Whist I'm sure the team will make a great product to make 3D as easy as it can be I still think that the work involved in designing 3D games will be much harder and longer to produce good games. I may dabble a little with 3D for fun but it's only really the js api/node iI'm personally interested in for the foreseeable future. I prefer 2d games on small screens. I appreciate there must be a call for 3D and it adds a level of gravitas to the product but if it's possible to facilitate getting this into a pre version 3 release then it would be incredible. Add the physics elements of box2d and this tool would be incredible.
