Early Access Review
Wonderful concept with a really solid base but nothing to really do with right now.

Game Builder is a sandbox where you can supposedly build your own games from scratch using either pre-defined commands or by editing each entity's Javascript. Combine that with a great UI, cute graphics, and a near endless amount of 3D models you can download from the internet, and you've got yourself a very good and kid-friendly sandbox game.

The problem is that it's still very early in development. The API doesn't feel very intuitive, which is ironic because it's very shallow at the moment. Even with good programming skills, you can't do most of what you think you should be able to do.

Without any programming skills, there's almost literally nothing to do in this game since there are barely any pre-built functions and only a few customization options for building and the overall look of the world.

Game Builder looks like it could be something fantastic, and I'm very excited to see it develop further, but right now I'd suggest waiting at least a few months before diving into it.
