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.
STOS?

#102Looks amazing!! I wonder how well it will cope with non-basic games, as in non-platformers, non-shooters. I've noticed that many frameworks are great for basic tutorial project usage but don't do well once you start on a real project
That's where you need to build up the fundamentals that you've learned. I'm excited to see what people are going to build with this once they've gotten comfortable with the engine. Creativity will be the limit!

#103Can you share "cards" with other people or just within your own projects?

#104> Find 3D models on Google Poly and use them in your game instantly. 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.

I'm still using Google's Sketchup 7.0, it runs well enough on Windows 10. The new company turned it into an expensive Pro tool with a 'lite' web only version :(

Anyone for Roblox :)
Yes. I remember (nostalgic times) when Roblox + Google docs (for group documents) and Teamspeak where the main way we communicated
I must have gotten old somehow, because I remember Roblox as being that game I put on the iPad for my 5 year old nephews.

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
But it's not automatically. I think the developer has to enable that. Probably because the developer is still intended (or wants) to verify that it really works properly in Proton.
Or not sure. But I have not found a way to run arbitrary Windows Steam games on Linux with Proton. Not sure how I would do that.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

I thought if you enabled the beta version, you could try any Windows game using Proton.
I tried Proton a while back. My experience was hit and miss with my particular collection.

#109Seems nice. Anyone has an opinion on why Google built this? Do you think it is related to Stadia? Or just a company hobby turning well?
Google is always focused on AI. I am pretty sure there will be AI among the players who will behave like humans. Maybe your best friend in game will be an AI.
I find this comment fascinating. I wonder how you came to think this was a tool for AI... I can't see it because it very clearly just looks like Minecraft with some basic scripting. No one is going to be building advanced ai in something like that.

#110Anyone know if Google plans on open sourcing it, so we can port it to different platforms?
