Engine maker Unity has released its development app Struckd on the online gaming platform Crazy games.
Struckd features easy-to-learn tools that allow anyone to learn game development, regardless of their skill level. It runs on Unit 6 (which will launch in October) and will feature a simplified user interface “that makes game development accessible to everyone.”
The app will allow creators to instantly (and easily) share their games, something CrazyGames is counting on to grow its presence as a hub for user-generated content.
This move provides the web with another set of easily accessible game development tools and integrates it with a growing browser-based platform.
In AprilUnity's then-product chief Marc Whitten told Game Developer about the growing interest in browser-based and WebGPU-based games. Partnering with CrazyGames to bring Struckd to browsers could be a strategic move to bring Unity into that space.
“UGC games mark a new frontier in game development,” wrote Rafael Morgan, vice president of partnerships at CrazyGames. “An app of this caliber for CrazyGames Originals demonstrates our commitment to leading a new era in online gaming and UGC discovery.”
For Unity, Struckd on CrazyGames”[lets] “We are inviting new audiences to create games” and confirming its commitment to “democratizing game development,” said Director of Product Development Daniel Reichert.
Struckd creators can also enable cross-platform play and bring their games directly into the Unity editor using the company's game exporter.
