The build and instant play feature reminds me of Trackmania for some reason. It was (is) a great game, but I still cannot believe why it never became famous.

I remember Trackmania; it appeared well known to me when I played it around 2010, mostly because of the free (as in beer) version.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I thought Steam could automatically load up Wine, or something like that?

You are correct, they have developed Proton [1] which is based on Wine. [1] https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton

have you managed to get it working on proton?

Google Poly seems to be a place for uploading things made with TiltBrush or with a program called Blocks. First time hearing about the latter.

Will it be possible to load models from OBJ, COLLADA or other formats?

Edit: Originally I asked what about Google SketchUp also, but it turns out SketchUp was sold to another company in 2012.

You can already upload any model to Google Poly. I remember submitting one made in Blender. I thing I had to export it as OBJ.

Does anyone else remember an old "game" for making games? It would have been late 90s when I played it, and I remember we bought it on a CD. You could build little top down games in it, I think the example was a football game.

DIV games studio?
