CraftStudio
A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Amazing built-in live cooperation
CraftStudio lets you craft games from scratch in real-time over the Internet. Come jam with your team or join others to make your dream games come true!
Now free for all to use, enjoy and thanks for the support throughout the years! No new updates are planned. You can pay what you want to support me if you like it.
Don't waste time with technical issues
CraftStudio has all the tools you need built right in, including modeling, painting and animating. No format compatibility issues, no lengthy conversion process, no synchronization issues.
It all works out of the box!
Building blocks all the way down!
CraftStudio was built to be extremely easy to use no matter where you're coming from. From models to maps to scripting, it's all just blocks!
Visual scripting lets you make your own game rules without any technical knowledge. And if you need the extra control, good old text-based Lua scripting is available too!
Great education tool for all ages
CraftStudio is used in schools as a rapid prototyping tool, to engage kids in creative ways and to teach students to think in 3D space
What the press says...
"A genuinely cute, well made game-making tool"
Craig Pearson — Rock Paper Shotgun
"Pretty damn neat [...] Good things usually happen when you give PC gamers new tools to express their creativity, so keep an eye on this one."
Tyler Wilde — PC Gamer

I forgot my password for Craftstudio, how do I get it back?
If you use chrome go to configuration>advance config>managa passwords and just click the eye to see the password of the site you want, I hope that helps :)
So, you buy this app, it says it's super easy and fun, you open it up. It wont let you make a STARTER PLACE AT ALL. Waste of money and time, I hate this app.
I bought the program and now you have turned off the servers! I want my money back!
why i cant run it :(
me too
Still alive ? According to comments and broken links, it's not. Any fork somewhere you know about ?
Im cant login
Please consider releasing CraftStudio to the open source community. It was a great tool and it is a shame it has been abandoned. I personally would love to use it, not only for my own work, but to give my students the capability to make 3d games without having to learn a programming language or complicated software.
Hi there! Your game is stuck in a loop where it is installing but never left any local files for me to delete so it knows to try again. How do I refresh my install of your game since it seems to be broken?
Wont let me log in despite checking my username and password - says they arent recognised!
same
i need hamachi to play with my friend?
this must be, by far one of the most unstable tools i have ever played
Can't even get a good connection with a friend without it constantly giving the same ''No connection to remote host'' error
Seriously, do not download this unstable piece of shite
It sure is difficult to get fonts working, as there is no easy way to get a font. Were fonts just added, because it took me hours to figure it out.
free
I keep getting an error:
"Could not start the server manager: The system cannot find the file specified"
Please help
One problem. I'm not sure how to create something.... I am probably gonna feel stupid if I get an answer
it's takes a long time to install please help
Runtime stop working... :'(
Thank you for releasing this. :)
Your projects are hosted locally on your own computer and you can run completely offline if you turn off authentication in your local server's settings.
Sorry my mistake ;-) Its a nice Product but i have read, i cant import my own *.obj Files :-( I have many modells and must use a engine with that feature. Sorry again and thanks for your Reply.
lol I bought this for $40 several years ago hoping to support the idea of real-time collaboration. So this was a fail then?
I should mention I don't mean to sound insulting. I didn't realize that you guys made this and the Superpowers engine. I really did and still do like the concept of real-time collaboration. Is that a thing still with Superpowers?
i'm pretty sure it is. you can run the game making environment on a local server and have other people connect to it, if i remember correctly.
Not Working the launcher doesnt shows up anything and you want me to pay you 30 dollars?!!!
Wh....what happened to the Website?
Shout out to Forum members: http://forums.craftstud.io/index.php?members/scachi.4239/
Your Blender and Gimp plugins seem to be useful when working with CraftStudio but I think CraftStudio are kinda busy with their own schedule so the forums also down after CraftStudio become free. Thus hopefully any admin, member like Scachi or others will see it and sharing it.
