Buildbox 2 - Early Access - BETA5 is here

Hey guys,

I just uploaded BETA5. We focused primarily on the last bunch of features we considered to be very important to the increased flexibility in game design. In this last 2 weeks especially we crushed almost all bugs (somewhere around 80 total) related to game building and gameplay. You can download from the links in the original email you received with your license key. B#1007 is the correct build number for BETA5 (check the about Buildbox menu).

Just in case you need them again here are the links:

BOOM

 

Crashed on first test using portals ...

 

Nice one @Andy, great work getting Beta 5 out. Love the new "preview selected scene" option - nice touch

 

Just tried out a bunch of the new presets and all looks good and stable my end. Great job guys.

 

@Phill Mason When you try to run the simulator to test your game can you control everything? I tried running it and it does not let me press anything on the screen. I am on PC.

 

Yes, can control everything okay. I'm on Mac. I only used the mouse and arrow keys when I tested a handful of presets. Check the keyboard settings to to see what the game control keys are.

 

Everything seems pretty stable. A previous issue I had with character replacement is now fixed so all good
3 weeks to go

 

@Phill Mason On my PC it has a lot of glitches such as the simulator I have to right click first before I can left click anything. However when I tried it on my Macbook it work perfectly without a problem.... I don't know what to do

 

Well, I wanna say Oh my God Its *THE* Stable version finally !

 

@rizwanashraf are you on pc or mac?

 

So far Beta 5 Looks Legit!! Excited to be here.

 

First time I've tried this in 5 weeks much better and more stable !!!
I'm on Win 10 64Bit

PS. portal worked with no troubles great job guys !!!

 

On Mac.

 

Awesome guys, glad to hear everything is working good. Can't wait to see some new games popping up

 

@TreySmith It would be great to at least give some instructions on how to use features like unlock levels which aren't so straight forward like most things.

 

Looking good here so far on mac. FUN! Now I need to get to work on my games.

 

So far so good for me on a mac.

 

I'm running windows7 32bit
All the issues I've addressed support in the past 4 months - were NOT solved in this build.
every single time I get the answer - oh, that should be fixed in the next build... and it doesn't. at least not for win7.

examples: menu-jumps used to trigger game-over ui... now indeed it doesn't show the game-over, but it crashes...
entering menu-jump while particle effect is played - cause crash. it wasn't fixed.
and so on...

what do you say, Trey, should I wait for build6?

(just to clear it up - the crashes are not only on previous projects, but also in the BB preset games. "clear stage" for example, crash when character hit the wall, or when adding even one menu-jump, so the problem is with the build, not with the projects)
