Everywhereis a creative suite that aims to let players build their own 3D games - such as shooters, racing games, and platformers - without code. Instead, players can use a developer- and user-created asset library to build and “remix” game worlds, then publish them for other folks to play.
Those creative tools will be available to some people next week, when the closed Builders Beta launches on June 18th.

The trailer above gives you the gist, althoughthere’s a longer 15-minute videothat shows the actual creation tools in action. They’re more technical than I was expecting, which is not a bad thing if it means they’re also more flexible in what they allow you to create.
Players build in Everywhere using “Stamps”, which are prefabs, whether an interactive element like a spinning wheel of deadly lasers or an ornamental 3D model. You can place, position, and transform these objects, cobbling together a game world like a collage, from scenery to the enemy NPCs.
Everything I’ve seen of Everywhere seems to lack creative spark. Instead it’s: hey, what about a racing game, but one that’s worse than any actual racing game? What about a shooter, but one that’s– You get the idea. The cause of the tradeoff is different, but it reminds me of MMOs from the mid-2000s. Auto Assault? Tabula Rasa?APB?
Perhaps I’m too cynical. Everywhere is shiny, and perhaps the draw of being able to build something shiny without needing to code will be enough. All it takes is someone with a striking idea to build something original with it. If that’s you, you cansign up for the beta on the Everywhere site.
