SOBA GAME CREATION PLATFORM LAUNCHES OPEN BETA TODAY

Soba :

Making games has never been easier. Today, Soba is opening the door to its namesake online multiplayer platform with an Open Beta, inviting gamers of all technical levels and ages to create, share and play games - no coding required. Previously available by an invite-only Alpha for mobile users, Soba also announced today the platform will expand to PC and MacOS. It will add multi-platform support so players can seamlessly jump into their creations between desktop and mobile devices. The Soba Open Beta will be available worldwide to creators on PC, MacOS and Android, and available in Germany, UK and Canada for iOS users.

Soba’s Open Beta will also feature a significantly improved Behavior Editor 2.0. Based on community feedback during the Alpha, the updated editor dramatically improves programming things in sequence, handling objects in behaviors and controlling timing. Behavior Editor 2.0 also showcases a redesigned user interface that is remarkably more user-friendly and intuitive than its predecessor, allowing creators of all skill levels - even young ones - to program with logic instead of pouring through endless lines of code.

“Together with our community, Soba is rewriting the rules of game creation,” said Juha Paananen, CEO and Co-founder at Soba. “Our goal is to give creators a meaningful platform where they can create with intuitive toolsets based on logic, without having to learn how to code first. This is how we will democratize game creation, where the only limits are bound by the imagination.”

Soba believes game creation should be open to everyone to express themselves creatively, both as creators and players. Through its platform, Soba seeks to make game creation accessible to everyone by breaking down technical barriers that might have stifled budding developers before. With intuitive, simple tools and an extensive (and growing) selection of abilities, the possibilities are endless. While the Alpha was limited to a small group of 7,800 creators (with many on the waitlist), over 20,000 games were created with 270,000 assets placed.

The trailer is also available on YouTube here.
