Here is the Platinum Arts Sandbox Beta 2.2.0 Release :) For anyone who is unfamiliar with Sandbox, here is a bit about it:
"Sandbox is a game design tool based on the Cube 2 engine that allows users to quickly and easily create and edit their own worlds in game, even cooperatively. It is free, open source, and easy to use for Kids and Adults."
Here are just some of the goodies included in Sandbox Beta 2.2.0
* New Maps - Save The Princess (3D Platformer with speed boost power ups!), Forest
* New Quests - Apple Picking on Village, and rescuing the princess on Save The Princess
* New Cloud Options - Now clouds can be added that scroll above the landscape! Height can even be adjusted. Also the Skybox can rotate making the clouds appear to move.
* New easy to use Sandbox launcher thanks to James "ZKAT8IT" Burns, check his site!
* New Characters can be added - Now characters and animals such as bears can be added!
* Numerous menu changes and enhancements - Menus have been tweaked to improve ease of use and they can also be customized for color, font, etc.
* Basic Multilingual Support - WE NEED TRANSLATORS!! Please see here for more information!
* Available now in English, Dutch (thanks Ben 'gamshobny' Tilma!), and Swedish (thanks Lucas Orsvärn!).
* Editing made even easier!! Can change flying speed by using + and - keys!
* Many Graphical Enhancements - Many map updates, nicer looking waterfalls, rain, scrolling clouds, some redone textures, etc.
* Numerous bug fixes and features added "under the hood".
* Improved Jukebox and Musicpack implementation
* New Music and a lilypad model!
* And MANY more! (really there are lots!!)
NOTE: If your old maps look strange in this new version, please type /remip in the console!!

is there a mac binary yet?
i dont know how to use xcode or any of that stuff... so i wont bother with that.
sorry, not yet, I believe one of calimer's friends was going to do that as neither of us have possession of a mac, just hang in there or play around in xcode, and see if you can get it working. in fact, we're not sure if the project is even up to date anymore.
alright, i'll just wait i guess.
I have a mac binary thanks to baby-rabbit from Fernlightning.com Its ready for testing so if someone wants to try it out please e-mail me at platinumarts - AT - gmail.com Take care.

yeah! Downloading. Hoping to get more interest in this @ my school this year.
I've been using it a lot to teach at various schools so if you need any help or advice, let me know!! I would been be happy to talk to them if they need any extra info. Take care and thanks for helping to spread the word, that's what SB is all about :)

Gonna download this and give it a crack I reckon :)
Hey! I tried out the game, and i really must admit, i love the gameplay. I have yet to try to play mutliplayer (which i have high expectations to). Anyways, great work!
Oh! And as and xfire user, i would like to provide you with following link: Xfire.com :) (to let the game send information of ingame to xfire)
considering I'm the pretty much the only coder for the project, and that I use linux, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Xfire is windows only, I don't have windows, so I've no means of testing if the implementation worked if I was to do it.
have you ever heard of 'mumble'? sandbox has support for that (it came from upstream, in the engine development area)
Hi Mike,
I was just watching the modcast interview with you and I must admit that this idea is a really good idea for kids. I admire that some one is doing something for kids to get them inspired to becoming a part of the video game industry.
Just my take on this is for the PR end of things, this really could be a mainstream thing through a majority of schools across the country. Even though it's a video game development tool, if enough schools realize that the video game industry is a promising industry to get into, the opportunity for an excellent tool such as this could make it to a wide array of them. I truly think you have a great free product here. I'm big on PR myself as I've been doing it since 2000. And hey, if you ever need a hand in getting this product out there a lot more, please feel free to give me a shout.
Nonetheless, great job on this. I wish you the best of luck on your future projects, and great job in the modcast interview. Other than saying "Like" too much, lol.
Take care. :)

Heya Brad, thanks for the message!! Any PR help you want to offer would be huge!! It certainly isn't a product that is easy to market since some people think it is ONLY for kids, and also because it isn't exactly a game persay. Thanks for all of the feedback and yeah I'd love to get it into more schools. Not quite sure the best way to do that though. Take care and feel free to drop by our irc sometime at irc.oftc.net #sandbox or you can click Kids.PlatinumArts.Net As a note I'm not around too much because of all the teaching at the kids camp :) Take care and thanks again!
