Platinum Arts Sandbox is Educational Software that enables kids to design their own 3D worlds quickly and easily. Through the program kids can make their own mazes, castles, forts, cities, etc in minutes. Kids are also a part of the world when they are creating it, so they can watch the results of their changes as they are happening. The main mission of the project will be to add more features and ways for the children to add their own custom content and to make it as easy as possible for them to do so. Also Platinum Arts will be providing custom content such as mazes, playgrounds, forts, jumping levels, forests and natural terrains to explore, etc.
The project is to remain open source and free so that developers and kids can help add new content and features to help make Platinum Arts Sandbox the most fun and easy world creation tool possible. Platinum Arts Sandbox will be easy enough for kids to use but also powerful enough for full game projects.

So this is a Second Life clone, or what? Is it offline and if so - how do people share content? I don't really see how this can appeal to kids, unless it is an open community offline game, which everybody can join to impress his friends (with ingame content created by the user).
A good idea is to keep it simple enough for a variety of uses. If this turns out as an editor, which allows you to create any kind of content, it is the greatest thing I know. If it is just a Second Life clone, I don't really know what to do with it, because 2nd life is the most boring thing I have seen in ages.
Ahh, it's Cube 2. No wonder.
This answers a lot of questions...if all the blood decals / violent references have been deleted, I'll give this to my cousin.
Sinking why don't you download it and find out :) And Renegade, yes they have all been removed, all of that has been cleaned! Take care and enjoy.

well i bet 9 on 10 people wonders what kind of stuff is this yea from screens i got fealing from second life to
but when i played i think its quite cool editor and game in 1 best thing so far i seen there is menu who popups when you press escape:O
If anyone has any ideas on how I can make it clearer I would definitely appreciate all suggestions. Thank you very much for your feedback Lt_Veron! I'm glad you like that menu, I put in a decent chunk of time cleaning it up and adding stuff to make it easier. Still a long way to go though. I hope you enjoy it :) Take care.
