The Adventures of Box Guy

Ink Studios | Platformer |

The Adventures of Box Guy is a 2D platformer in which players assume the role of Box Guy, everyone's favourite cube-based protagonist.

The game will be user-centric; shipping with a level editor from day one, players can create and share their own custom levels. The game will be playable on a range of platforms, including Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, and as if those platforms alone weren't enough, the multiplayer modes are totally cross-platform. Need to convince your PC-owning friend that you can walljump your way through the campaign faster than them, even on your iPhone? You can do that.

So, to the new editor, BoxEd v0.1. Much like the previous releases, it uses an XML format to describe your custom saved levels. However, at present, I'm only using a webplayer to test the game, meaning you cannot load or save custom content; however, I've included a sample level that can be loaded via the File menu for testing. Here's what the editor looks like whilst totally empty:
