Playcraft is a free multiplayer sandbox where players can create games of almost any genre. Here you can build your world out of blocks, populate it with all kinds of monsters and NPCs, create vegetation, and bungle destructible environments. Playcraft - the original sandbox game, where you can create unique games!

Surely every gamer has dreamed of creating a game world, in which the characters will act according to their own rules. And now, finally, there is such an opportunity. A huge number of tools open up before him an endless world of adventure.

It should be noted at once that the game is completely free, so it can be appreciated by everyone. Donation is insignificant and purely symbolic. Rather as a thank you for the work done, rather than a daily necessity.

At the initial stage, the player is given an avatar and a huge map with nothing on it. You get a "canvas" for creativity and can start implementing your boldest ideas.

To do this, there is an intuitive menu that gathers all kinds of tools for building the world. Thanks to them, you can configure the map and start creating the game. You can customize absolutely everything, from visuals to gameplay. You create your own game, not writing code, but only using the tools. And they just prepared quite a lot of them. 

The player is given full interaction with the environment. You can build and immediately destroy everything you've created. Break, smash and crush everything in your path, if that's the intention - everything around your character is destructible. A full immersion in creativity awaits you.

At the beginning of the game, you'll already have a character.  You can customize it to your liking. A special menu has absolutely everything for this, from funny hats to clothing items.

Playcraft was originally positioned as a project to create simple games, which means the entire gameplay will be tied to them. The player is allowed to create games in a variety of genres. Based on the genre of the game, start thinking about the story. You can include dialogues between characters and make the gameplay more lively.

It is possible to create portals that will help move between worlds if that's what the idea requires. In general, the project has everything you need: from the smallest details of the environment to the use of spells by the characters.

In the process of the game, you can switch between world creation mode and testing. Thus, you will be able to fix all the shortcomings and bring the game to perfection.

Notably, you will not only be able to create games but also to play them. In this case, your creation will be available to any player of Playcraft. To do this, you just need to share your game in the community. So if the world you created implies a collective game, you can gather a team and test it.

The same, you can evaluate the games of other users, because the developer has provided all opportunities for this.
