Soba World - easy game development
Soba World is a robust game development platform that offers an all-in-one solution for new and existing developers. The platform provides numerous tools and pre-made assets to make the entire process simple and straightforward. Soba World completely removes any requirements for coding by providing a simple drag and drop logic system. The logic system is incredibly intuitive and easy to understand. While some of the terminologies might be a little confusing to some, spending a little time within the editor will quickly solve that.
Soba World makes things even easier with an ever-growing library of pre-made assets and logic. So building a world can be as easy as selecting an object, dragging it to where the user wants it, and then hitting play. The users aren’t locked into their pre-programmed state either. Soba World allows editing the built-in logic so it can interact any way.
Multiplayer functionality has been built directly into the platform itself. That means the games can be built and enjoyed with friends as well as the rest of the Soba community. Soba World also offers a multiplatform experience so the game can be enjoyed on a variety of devices and operating systems. But the multiplayer functionality goes beyond simply playing the game together as well. All the games and assets are stored in the Cloud. So if the user would like to develop a game with multiple people, everyone can have access and work on it.
Soba founders Juha Paananen and Dr Florian Odronitz understand the difficulty in creating compelling gameplay and the need to reward people who do it well. They have raised a total of $13.6M in funding.
