One question though: Why does it use an installer on OSX that requires me to enter my admin password?
I think I've read about it here on HN months ago. The current version looks very decent from the video. I'll surely will check it out. You've my full respect for pulling this off. One question though: Why does it use an installer on OSX that requires me to enter my admin password?

Not just yet but now that the beta is out, this will be my next big focus! I've been doing some technology tests already (see http://sparklinlabs.com/2013/04/craftstudio-beta-release-dat... and http://wars.sparklinlabs.com/ )
Fast response! Last question: How will this work if me and my friends want to sell our game? You might be asking why professionals are using a tool like craftstudio to push out a game. My friends aren't programmers. I'd rather them trying to figure out craftstudio than teach them opengl/webgl/direct3d. Lol.
Is there a name for the 3D art style shown in the screens? It seems just like pixel art with small palettes applied to low polygon models. But I really like it!

Thanks :). I had to build an installer to check that you have Mono installed by running a "which mono" command and displays an error/info message otherwise. I could provide a separate download that doesn't but it's more work and my hands are already more than full so for now, I'm afraid that'll have to do :)
I taught an extracurricular class on game making in scratch to elementary school kids for four years. Every year, there were one or two kids that seemed to have mastered scratch and were being held back by the program's limitations. I wish I had had your program so that I could have given them something more challenging.
Are you guys interested in teaching kids how to code/make games? Your visual method for scripting looks very similar to scratch ( http://scratch.mit.edu/ ). Although I haven't used your program, it seems like it would make a natural stepping stone once kids have done everything they can in scratch.

CraftStudio is my real-time multiplayer "game to make games". I built it out of my own frustration with existing game-making tools and a desire to let everyone (gamers, most importantly) make their own games. Minecraft was an obvious inspiration to its blocky, pixelarty nature. Here's the full announcement for the Beta with an overview of the changes: http://sparklinlabs.com/2013/04/craftstudio-beta-is-released... Am…
Looks very cool, but seems to require both wine AND mono :(
Nope, no Wine dependency, just Mono. The Linux package is very young so it has some bugs still, I'm still figuring it out. EDIT: Missing (unlisted in the .deb metadata for now) dependencies include: - libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil - libmono-system-core4.0-cil - libSDL-mixer1.2debian I'll update the package ASAP.
Tried installing mono-complete, but still not working.
