Dot big bang is an online game creation platform by Controlzee.[1] that runs on desktop and mobile devices. It allows users to create and play games in a real-time 3D multiplayer environment in their web browser.
Games are written in the TypeScript programming language, and 3D models and environments are constructed using built-in tools that also run in the browser. The platform hosts video games, experiences, objects, and environments made by users and the development team.
The tools used to create games on the dot big bang are part of the standard game client. The game creation engine is entirely browser-based. The tools consist of a voxel object editor where users can make 3D objects, a world editor where users can assemble objects into levels and games, and a code editor that can be used to add behaviours and logic. Multiple users can edit the same game simultaneously, and games are playable, once published, in a browser window. Cross platform play allows players and creators on different types of device to play in the same session.
Development[edit]
Dot big bang was created by Robert Anderberg, Jon Stockwell, Jacques Menuet and Porter Schutz in 2016. In 2020, the platform launched a redesigned Game Editor, and a Hub World welcome area that has since been played 2.9 million times. An online multiplayer game called Straits of Danger was released in collaboration with streamer day9, as reported by Venturebeat[2]. In 2021, several games were created in collaboration with gaming YouTuber Preston Arsement [3]
