You should be very proud of youself Mike, this a very proffesional piece of software you have here :)

I've worked a lot with a program called "Thinking Worlds" by a company called Caspian and while this a powerful tool for learning games... well it's very boring, and I always found the kids saying things like "Well.... why can't I make my own levels?" or, "Why can't I do something different apart from making the player answer questions?". With Sandbox... It just feels like you give the Kids the creative element as well as the design element and I'm very impressed by that :)

Small rant, but there you have it! xD Good videos mate!

Very nice! In fact I'm a bit jealous! (My maps aren't nearly as good! :lol: )
It warms my heart to see the young'ens taking to it so well. I bet at least one of them will be the next revolutionary in the games industry. Who knows, eh? :D

The optimist says that the glass is half full,
and the pessimist says that it's half empty.
But the engineer says that it's twice as large as it needs to be,
and is really a problem of optimization. ;)
