    Great work @NikRudenko and I was just off to bed too! lol

    Also, I don't know if you saw Epic Games GDC but they are giving away totally free their online toolset to work with ANY game engine. Leaderboards, achievements, cross platform, match making and more.

    iOS and Android aren't supported yet but will be soon and they are requesting ideas for the languages for it to be in.

    It will work on Unity, Amazon etc, so drop them a mail and get it for BuildBox. It would be a total game changer - and its free!

    Thanks @NikRudenko for all the hard work. Unfortunately this version is frequently crashing on me after about 10-20 seconds of playing either the supplied demos or games I'm working on in the Preview.

    Also, the camera is not where it should be when starting a game in Preview in various configurations (such as iPhoneX at 25%). Refreshing the Preview will correct it.

    The Fly demo doesn't work and produces a whole bunch of errors.

    As for crashing if you don't mind I'll contact you to get the root of the issue (might some hardware specific issues)

    I think I know what issue you talking about. I bet you are on Mac?

    We updated Fly template early morning and it might be still not propped via OS cache system
    here is direct link:

    Hi Nick, thanks for the quick reply!
    Yes, I'm on the Mac version (sorry I forgot to mention that).
    You're right, the Fly template must have been cached, as the one linked above works perfectly! The preview didn't crash either while playing it, but the camera still starts off incorrectly.
    Cheers, Roberto.

    @Roberto P I'm on Mac also. Can you see the two new templates mentioned above in your build?

    Hi @MattWills no I don't see any new templates in my build. It might have something to do with their server being cached? I think that's what Nick may have been to referring to as the problem, as the Fly template available from the start screen is different to the one Nick linked to above.

    I am on mac, i installed it and i see no new templates, Yes i see new nodes. No editing of Start Node, No Particles ( which can make games more dynamic ) Trail doesnt work in all cases possible, We only have an explosion asset which made my one of BBforum Member and we all are using that nothing more, i was able to create a particle effect on my own by spawning an object and removing after sometime. anyway. i have never complained but this time i have heard *lots of new features* so my hopes were high, Sorry if i hurt anyones feelings .. i love this software as much as you all do.

    @NikRudenko There is an issue with the new templates not showing up on the mac install. Also the Fly template has not updated to the newer version.

    Hey @NikRudenko the Lock button Logic on UI is not implemented. Does not work, I cannot reference any worlds / scenes when unlocked.

    these updates look very good for non coders. thank you nik. i will try all new features and share some videos so we can make awsome games. i saw some people still complain about bb3 but for non coders its very easy and useful tool. i don't know coding but i create our 3d games just 3-4 days. some big publishers are testing now.

    I hear that. The new templates aren't showing up on the Windows version either(which I use).
    Yeah the particles is annoying too - we should be able to create our own particle assets for export/import too and I feel that being able to import FBX files would solve 90% of our character/particles problems too - but that is a distant dream I feel for now.

    You sir, I respect every word you say even if its against me, you tell me your honest answer, do you think or even feel like this looks like a release candidate before Final perfect release? What do we have ? No fbx import, No Animation or particles, I am sorry i am bursting out today like a rat, i feel deeply disappointed right now. just upset to see this.

    @NikRudenko valiant effort, but the BB2 conversion isn't as near as I would have expected, have had mixed success opening some bb2 projects, the current one just crashes BB3 instantly. some of the other less complex projects open but with items not working eg.
    Animations for a character that runs left and right, the sprite that is only converted is the idle one (even though all the buttons and ui and links are there when going left or right it is just a static sprite. There are no other sprites. I am more than willing to send you my current BB 2.3.7. project for you to try and open NIK in BB3 and for you to send me back a BB3 BBdoc i can open and use it isn't corrupt as it still opens in BB2. but may give you an idea whats missing in the conversion and why its crashing before even attempting to open
