You must be logged into your Sandbox account to create in Game Maker. This allows Game Maker to populate your asset Library with your uploaded VoxEdit creations and NFT assets in your wallet.

For best performance, It is recommended to choose the smallest LAND size to build your Experience that will still allow 3D space for your planned content. Review Scale & LAND Use for recommendations.

Take advantage of height to fit more content into your Experience.

You can NOT change the size of an Experience once you create it.

Templates

Templates

Select the Templates tab in the center of the Game Maker home screen.

Templates allow you to download a pre-made experience with different purposes:

Logic Tutorials - There are many options to learn hands-on in Game Maker and make modifications to test out your own ideas.

Landscape Templates - Blocking out a level's 3D space isn't needed with these attractive templates that speed up your creative process so you can go right into adding assets and interactive logic.

Gallery

Game Maker Gallery

To access the Gallery, click Start Playing in the left menu of the Game Maker home screen.

Latest Experiences - Experiences shared to the Gallery will appear in the order they were created, not by the date they were shared. If you can't find yours, use the new search feature on the left.
