My own game?

[Conner]

Hey this is conner. I searched a long time for a free game creator and I found Platinum Arts Sandbox!
The grafic is fantastic and the features are great!
But I have a problem. Can I make a standalone game? I mean can I make a game which I can give other people to play it without downloading Platinum Arts Sandbox?
Can I make a standalone exe? I think Platinum Arts Sandbox calls itself Free 3D Game Maker.
But I don't make a game without an exe do I?

Sorry for grammatical mistakes! I am german!
Thank you for answere

You can modify the menus and everything so that it fits your game... Then you can just pack your game to a zip file and you have your game... For a example i suggest you to look at this: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=360
and download the wip version of TGC. That is the best example for you to imagine what your game would be like.

If I give it to a friend. Does he need Platinum Arts Sandbox to play my game?

[siimvuss]

if you give him only the maps then he will need it... But if you do as I said and pack your file like damiandj did then the engine of sandbox is in your game and he doesnt have to have sandbox installed...

Wow the Damian's game is really good! But how do I edit the menu that I only can choose one map?
Is there a way to switch from one map to the other map? without "choosing map"!

What do I have to pack?

Sorry for my stupid questions!

I like to use 7zip. That is what I use for the sandbox installs, if you want to make it an .exe by itself, select 7z for the archive type and then make sure self extracting archive is selected. 7zip is also free. There are some free installers that could do the trick as well but I haven't tried any of them out. You do need the core engine of Sandbox, because it is just like the engine of a car. No engine means no run. However, you can reshape the frame of the car (hehe) to whatever you want so it is infact your game and looks like completely your game, with SB under the hood where people can't see it. Take care!

Additionally, I do believe NSIS could work well for an installer.

Thank you for your quick and good answeres!

Can it be that in version 2.4 the objects don't work?
I tried it but the wrong objects came.

I try to download the version again!
