</div><h2>Key Highlights of The Sandbox Game Maker 0.12 Update</h2><ul><li>New game templates: FPS Shooter, Action RPG, and Business Tycoon</li><li>Improved UI: Streamlined design, ultrawide support, and better asset search</li><li>Persistent player data: Save inventory, progress, and quest status across sessions</li><li>New NPC modules: Follow, Flee, Heal, Gather, and Walk</li><li>Dash and Glide abilities: Expands player movement</li><li>New Outline component: Highlights objects with visual cues</li><li>WWise Audio integration: AAA sound engine with 7000+ sound effects</li></ul><p>When you first download the Game Maker 0.12 Update for The Sandbox, you'll be greeted with a minimalist login screen and a revamped home page afterward. This makes it easier to check out tutorials, seasonal events, and announcements from the developers. Bug reporting has also become easier, so more players can contribute to Sandbox's development process.</p><h2>New Assets and Data Systems</h2><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:74.86%;"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/sandbox_update_0_12_2_d5bfb76b5a.jpg" alt="The Sandbox v0.12.2 update showcase" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/sandbox_update_0_12_2_d5bfb76b5a.jpg 226w, https://assets.funjible.games/sandbox_update_0_12_2_d5bfb76b5a.jpg 500w" sizes="100vw"></figure><p>There's a lot to explore in&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creators/game-maker/version-notes-and-changelogs/game-maker-0.12">Sandbox Game Maker 0.12 updates, notes, and change logs</a>. If you're a creator, you may also want to check out the new asset kits and the persistent data system.</p><p>You can toggle on settings like persistent inventory, variable, checkpoint saves, and quest progression tracking via the Data Storage menu.&nbsp;</p><p>Overall, t.he level creation experience in the Sandbox became smoother with block outlines, custom colliders, and teleport areas. Players will also have the option to move more dynamically in their creations with the addition of Dash and Glide mechanics to the game.</p><p>One of our favourite updates has been to the sound system in the game. The Sandbox implemented WWise, a top-tier audio engine. Sound can heavily impact gameplay experiences, and we're excited to see how this change can level up players' creations inside the Sandbox.</p><h2>More Control to Creators</h2><p>In multiplayer games, creators can now:</p><ul><li>Set the minimum players to start</li><li>Enable Join in Progress</li><li>Use Matchmaking Queue Cards and Quick Play</li></ul><p>The Sandbox has been focused on empowering its creators for a while now. Earlier in 2025,&nbsp;<a href="https://funjible.games/news/the-sandbox-game-maker-0-11-update-levels-up-creators">Sandbox released the Game Maker 0.11 update</a>, which was also followed by various events for creators.</p><p>While The Sandbox gives creative players a platform and brings their vision to life, it also depends on these creations. Higher-quality game modes can allow the Sandbox to increase its player retention and fuel further growth.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fEPWtjpPHw0?si=oHRAZl64Ltr49n2o" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
