Getting Started with Buildbox: How to Build a Game

It’s a lot easier than you think to build a game especially with Buildbox! In the tutorial video below, you’ll learn how fast and easy it is to use one of our pre-built templates to make a game from start to finish in only a few minutes:

It couldn’t be easier. The space shooter template used in the video above is just one of the many cool templates available inside Buildbox. There’s also a built-in library with hundreds of smart assets with pre-set animations based on trending gameplay mechanics that you can use to build out levels in your game quickly. With our no-code game-changer, brainboxes, you’re able to drag-and-drop animation components with built-in logic to any character or object. Easily add actions to make a character jump or a vehicle drive. No skills needed. There’s even FBX support, so you can drag-and-drop any FBX file with a full 3D model and animations directly into the software to make interactive 3D games too.

With Buildbox, you’re not limited to only no-code options. You can also create your own advanced logic with our smart node system. Our multiple creation levels allow you to go from concept to core design in seconds. Buildbox is also an excellent tool for making hyper casual games. You can view some of the best practices for hyper casual game development and what publishers look for in hyper casual games right on our blog.

Generate Revenue on Auto-Pilot

Once you’ve built out your levels, adding ads into your game is also super simple. In Buildbox, 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. You can add rewarded video ads, banners, and much more to boost your total app earnings. 

In the tutorials below, we show you the step-by-step process for integrating both AdMob and ironSource ads into your games

After you’ve integrated actual ads into your app you’re ready to export to the platform of your choice and publish. Buildbox only collects a 10% fee on any ad revenue generated from Buildbox Free users. With Buildbox Pro, there is no fee and you have the ability to add any of the top SDKs plus in-app purchases into your game for even higher earnings. 

Publish, Profit, & Grow! 

To promote your game, you can also use our free sister software, AppOnboard Studio! With AppOnboard Studio’s easy-to-use interface, anyone can create playable ads and instant apps in a matter of minutes. Just like Buildbox, no coding skills are required. Create playable ads and instant apps at scale to grow your app without writing a single line of code. Playable ads outperform other ad formats for higher engagement and conversion rates. Plus, with AppOnboard Studio, you can also share your creations on social, or with friends and colleagues directly. Easily export to Facebook, Google, Snapchat, ironSource, Vungle, AppLovin, and more.

      No code? LOOOL! Character in a predefined platformer game can’t even jump without of code editing because by default player may jump infinitely if he collides with walls
