Wow, our no-code community of developers is now over 650,000 strong! đȘ We have Buildbox users from all over the world, making cool 2D and 3D games with our software and finding success in the App Store. Some Boxers, have even managed to quit their day jobs and pursue making games full-time using Buildbox. Weâre so proud to be part of this incredible movement.
Our mission from the very start was to create a software that enabled anyone with an idea to make a game, regardless of their technical skill. Itâs amazing to see that weâre not just making an impact but changing how games are made with our software.
Buildbox is the only 2D and 3D game engine that gives you the option of building apps with no-code game-changers like brainboxes, templates, and smart assets or low-code via smart nodes. Our software is also less resource-hungry than other tools out there. It only requires 400 MB of storage space, a single-core CPU of 32 or 64 bit, and just 6 GB to run. The iOS runtime is -5 MB, and the Android runtime is -15 MB. So, itâs light on your hardware and super easy to use, whether youâre on a PC or a Mac. You can see exactly how we stack up against other platforms in hardware requirements below:Â

Hit Games and the Developers Who Made ThemÂ
Long-time community member, Darius Guerro is from the Philippines. He founded his own indie studio, AppSir Inc., and used Buildbox to create The Last Yandree and Sorority Rites, both stunning visual novels. He went on to create an experimental horror-based platformer called Dere .Exe and later itâs sequel Dere Evil .Exe which was ranked Top 100 in all games and featured worldwide.Â
âTo be honest, Iâve tried a dozen other engines before I ended up with Buildbox. I donât think any one of those engines could have made Dere. Exe. Theoretically, they could, but it would take at least six months longer.â – Darius Guerro, AppSir IncÂ
Romanian developer, Ovidiu Tepes from Crevasse Studios stumbled across Buildbox one day when he Googled, âmake games without coding,â and heâs been using our software to do just that. His puzzle memory game called Cessabit took less than a month to create using Buildbox. It was ranked as one of the Top 100 Paid Games in the US and 19 other countries. Vestigium, another fantastic puzzle game from Tepes, also skyrocketed up the charts. Both games were featured as âGame of the Dayâ in app stores around the world multiple times. Heâs also won our Buildbox Game Jam twice. However, Tepes doesnât stop at making games; he also is dedicated to learning and helping other game developers in the community by sharing Buildbox templates, game art, and tutorials.Â
âNot having to write code, the very intuitive user interface and the insane development speed make Buildbox my favorite engine. With Buildbox, the process of game development is so fast and enjoyable.â – Ovidiu Tepes, Crevasse StudiosÂ

âBuildbox is the only game engine weâve ever used. We have almost no coding knowledge, so it was perfect for us. And it seems now with Buildbox 3; we donât really have to know any code to make the type of games we want.â – Radu Popa, TapMen GamesÂ
