Sandbox Metaverse update enhances creator tools
The Sandbox (CRYPTO:SAND) has released an update on February 12, 2025, aimed at enhancing the creation and user experience within its metaverse.
The update focuses on providing creators with tools to develop immersive and interactive experiences, including enhancements to the Game Maker platform.
These improvements offer better multiplayer capabilities and new gameplay mechanics, as well as increased access to content from various brands.
Arthur Madrid, CEO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox, highlighted that the update empowers creators to craft long-form content, fostering creativity within the metaverse.
The update introduces pre-made templates and dynamic libraries in Game Maker to streamline the building process.
Partner Assets enable the integration of brands such as The Smurfs, Care Bears, and Atari into user-generated content.
Multiplayer features have been improved with updates to racing gameplay, team scores, multiplayer-friendly NPCs, and broadcast target selection.
Additional enhancements include improved character animations, better camera systems, and customisable HUDs.
To encourage the use of the new tools, The Sandbox has launched the Builders Challenge, a six-week program that rewards creators with SAND based on player volume and engagement.
Previous Builders Challenge participants earned an average of over 1,000 SAND.
Future updates are expected to include matchmaking, combat systems, and expanded traversal options like mounts and vehicles.
The Sandbox is available for free on Windows and Mac, where creators can use Game Maker and players can explore experiences via the Game Client.
The platform allows users to "play, create, and monetise unique experiences alongside their favorite brands" using Web3 technology, giving players ownership of assets and creations as NFTs.
The Sandbox has partnerships with Warner Music Group, Gucci, Ubisoft, Paris Hilton, The Walking Dead, and Snoop Dogg, among others.
At the time of reporting, The Sandbox (SAND) price was $0.3935.
