A downloadable sandbox for Windows

This particular sandbox game was made for the DV-CF gamejam!

This project was made in a 2D framework (Love2D or LÖVE), being written in Lua. The game uses raycasting to turn a simple 2d map into a retro 3d space, even with textures and everything. Right now this game contains a simple demo map and a entirely working custom map engine! (Includes the tools like: creating blocks, moving them, resizing them, deleting them, saving the map). This is the very first version of the game and will most likely be made into a full level-creating engine with it's own retro vibe!

Controls:

W/A/S/D or arrows - Walking
Mouse movement - Camera control
ESC - Exit game
M - Unlock mouse
Q/E - Change map brightness
X - Switch between 2D and 3D
T - Hide/show screen text
R - Switch between built-in map and custom. (Has to be in 2d mode to edit the map)

Enjoy the game! The source code and assets are contained in a .zip inside of the hidden files folder, so, if you're interested, you can take a look, maybe modify the game! And also you can send the custommap.lua file you saved (Source code has to be run via Love2D application) to your friends and have them take a look!

Notice: the game is only at 1.0.0 (a.k.a. GameJam Version) and may have a lot of bugs. Feel free to report/ask about them. I'll make sure I'll fix as much as I can in the next versions!
