Game creation on ESB Games
A connected game creation platform.
ESB Games is building a creator ecosystem that connects game development in ESB Studio with testing, publishing, discovery and community features across the wider platform.
Build, test, publish and grow.
A game creation platform is most useful when development tools connect naturally to the places where players actually discover and play experiences. ESB Games is being designed around that full creator journey.
Test
Play-test experiences and review how projects behave before preparing them for release.
Prepare
Publishing and moderation workflows are being designed to help creators prepare experiences for the platform.
Publish & discover
Released experiences are intended to connect with ESB Games discovery, profiles, communities and events.
The creator environment behind ESB Games.
ESB Studio is the game development environment being built for creators who want to make interactive experiences for ESB Games. Its planned toolset includes Lua scripting, world building, user interface tools, animation, VFX, audio, project management and play-testing.
Lua scripting
Creators can build custom game logic, systems and interactions using Lua-based scripting workflows as Studio development progresses.
Visual creation tools
World building, interfaces, effects, animation and sound are being brought together so creators can work across different parts of a project in one environment.
Connected publishing
The creator workflow is being designed to connect directly to ESB Games rather than ending when development is complete.
Player discovery
Creator profiles, communities, events and personalised discovery are intended to help published experiences reach relevant players.
One ecosystem.
ESB Games is not positioning creation as a separate product bolted onto a gaming site. The platform, creator tools, communities, events, discovery and safety systems are being developed as connected parts of the same ecosystem.
That means a creator can work toward a single journey: make an experience, test it, prepare it for release, publish it, build a community around it and understand how players are engaging with it as the platform expands.
