Why Create in The Sandbox?
Anyone can become a creator in The Sandbox! With our free Game Maker and VoxEdit tools, designing games and assets has never been easier.
No coding? No problem — bring your creativity, and we’ll provide the tools.
I know this because I started here too. Like many of you, I had no game design experience, but The Sandbox provided everything I needed to succeed — intuitive tools, a timeless voxel style, and the excitement of my first Game Jam. This gave me the confidence to keep creating, and today I help new creators find that same spark as the Creators Program Manager at The Sandbox.
Anyone can go from novice to pro, and the rewards go beyond financial gains. Creators have earned over 4,000,000 SAND and many more exciting prizes this year through events like Game Jams and the Builders’ Challenge. But it’s the satisfaction of seeing your creations come to life in the metaverse and being part of a thriving community that makes the journey truly fulfilling.
Jumpstart Your Journey with Game Jams
Looking for inspiration? Game Jams are a perfect way to jump in.
These fast-paced competitions push you to innovate, collaborate, and learn fast.
“Just two months later, I entered another Game Jam and won 3rd place, snowballing me into being featured in Alpha Season 2, and working full-time with talented studios on the platform.”
When I joined my first Game Jam, I was just days into The Sandbox, competing in an exciting event with The Walking Dead. Though I didn’t win, I learned so much that I couldn’t wait to join the next one.
Just two months later, I entered another Game Jam and won 3rd place, snowballing me into being featured in Alpha Season 2, and working full-time with talented studios on the platform. Each Game Jam brings you closer to discovering your unique style and connecting with other creators and I firmly believe that these events are the beating heart of the Creators Ecosystem in The Sandbox.
The good news? We just opened registrations for our exciting Halloween Game Jam!
