Nick what is the official version number of today's release there seems to be a bit of confusion if it's out I have Version 3.0.0 B# 3049
its most stable version for me and got no crash while working with bb2 games. when you're guys going to enable ads settings for bb3?
3.0.0.3105 (aka Build #3105) Thanks. Right now you can work via AdIntegrator. But now it is a good time to make Ads Integration way more easier and robust. So we working on it and got some progress. We will share some details soon.
can we have some vid tutorial on 'AdIntegrator' how it works with chartboost and admob? tell zack to make some tuts on 'AdIntegrator' as well.
what about the ability to unlock new characters with coins? I don't see coins I only see points. Some power ups would be nice too. Also some particles. essential elements needed in every game.
Great update, BB3 is looking really good! Loving using it - one side note, some of my 3d objects look really glitched in the official release of BB3, looks like they haven't loaded in properly of some setting have changed... Is anyone else having this issue or does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Looks fine in Buildbox and then when I preview the game it just looks really glitched and parts of the 3D objects are missing
Cool! That is great news! and will you have the same variety that you had in Buildbox 2 Like chartboost, Applovin, Admob etc?? Thank you!
@Nik - One feature me and others were waiting for in BB3 still not implemented - the unlock button in the UI level does not generate connection node - in BB2 that the way we built different levels where we unlock each level after complete the previous one - I am not sure if that is something can be done in different way in BB3. But seemed to me the way it worked in BB2 its easy straight fwd. we can build one world game play in BB3 that can start randomly at different scenes but if we can have ability to lock and unlock worlds the game can grow to much more story line type thanks
i really don't understand how are these smart Assets at all. Such as Obstacle Dynamic is just a cube with Physics on as Dynamic. What smart in it i don't know.
@landofgreendev i did notice if you use png with a transparent background, it has some problems drawing your 3d objects, the way around this i found was to put in a solid color in the background like a gray or black.
I just realized that some of the old smart assets aren't even updated. I mean, Coin, one of the most important parts of a game, still using "this.scene().addScorePoint( amount )" in the "final" release instead of whatever the setter method for "coin" is (if there even any). I love Buildbox but man, this will surely make me re-think about continuing my subscription . My suggestion is, Buildbox 3 should be made free/cheaper for a while until it is finally ready to be sold as a premium product. At the current state, I can guarantee a lot of people will be disappointed.
In a sense, I am happy with this situation because it forces me to learn more coding and go to, for example, unity. I love Buildbox, the forum and the whole environment, but everything has its limits
I mean, I get that people who don't think or even know about game development efficiencies won't care so it's not a huge issue, but at the same time BB3 will be scrutinized heavily by experienced game developers. It's just growing pains though. It's the first release of a new software. I doubt they ignore fixing things that just take a bit of reorganizing.
