A few updates have been made today:
- It is now possible to add an image instead of a text into a question panel. It is also now possible to remove transparent black background by typing "panel-background: none" into style field. Wiki-page is updated with this info.
- It is now possible to sync DS profile image with Steam profile image by clicking it in the profile.
- Added 3D "gliding" effect in Firefox.
- It is now possible to move around with mouse clicks in Firefox just like in Chromium browsers. The game now works almost the same in Firefox and Chromium browsers :)

Updates for today!
- Added Hider object which can hide text/image/video on a wall or a floor and reveal it when triggered by some other object like switch or question panel. You can also set and style a text/image/video for Hider object that will be shown instead of the text/image/video on the wall or floor.
- Added possibility to view found treasures after completing the dungeon.
- If a floor has a single letter or number on it - it will now be displayed on the map.

New update today!
Added "Extra Triggers" option for Doors, Gates, Interactive Walls and Hiders. If an object has extra triggers set, it needs to be triggered certain extra amount of times in order to get activated/deactivated, e.g. if a closed door has 1 extra trigger, it needs to be triggered 2 times in order to open.

New update brings Event Messages into Dungeon Sandbox and adds a new creator's tool - Message Tool!
Creators can now add event messages and attach them to different objects in a dungeon, making such events appear upon different interactions, e.g. stepping on a button, pulling a switch, knocking on a door, etc.
A good way to guide a player through the dungeon or tell a story :)
Wiki-page has been updated with the new info.
Comment has been collapsed.
Event Messages have been updated, adding extra flexibility to their use with remote event messages, e.g. now a message can be shown once a certain remote object is activated or deactivated. Remote messages of other objects have a priority over the messages of the object a player interacts with - except for the Question Panel which shows its main message when the question is solved instead of any remote messages of other objects.
Comment has been collapsed.
New update makes it possible for Portals to have active and inactive states as well as adds extra options for its editing!
Other updates of today:
- It is now possible to play/create several dungeons at the same time (in separate tabs).
- Interactive event objects now don't get highlighted upon mouse hover if a player doesn't stand right in front of them.
Comment has been collapsed.
New update brings a new creator tool - Texture Tool - which allows to set custom textures at certain areas. It makes customizing larger dungeons easier without a need to manually update a texture on each wall.
Creator tools are now divided into 2 categories - Primary and Secondary.
Tutorial has also been updated due to this change. Wiki-page got a new section with information on Texture Tool.
Comment has been collapsed.
Added possibility to set dungeon background (either image or some color) that would be displayed instead of darkness at a distance.
Comment has been collapsed.
- It is now possible to set an item as a prize for solving a question panel.
- TAB and DELETE keys can now be used as a shortcut for resetting triggered events (creators only).
- Added 3 seconds delay between tries to question panels to prevent brute force.

Finally finished a new large update of Dungeon Sandbox which opens even more possibilities of creating amazing dungeons - it allows to add background music and customize sound effects upon almost any interaction in a dungeon!
New Audio Tool allows to add any audio file which can then be set as looping background music or sound effect that would be played instead of a default one upon interaction with some event object.
Default sound effects can now be muted if neccessary to make silent events. Background music can also be changed throughout the dungeon to fit the mood of a certain area or event, so it is basically possible to not just add a background music, but make a whole soundtrack for your dungeon that would be changing dynamically.
Comment has been collapsed.
Music can now be muted with "Num -" and unmuted with "Num +".

Implemented decorative objects which can be placed on a floor or ceiling (ex. ornaments), their size can be modified. Such objects are penetrable which means that a player can walk through them.
Comment has been collapsed.
- Certain event objects can now trigger other objects when being activated by an item (e.g. when a player opens a door).
- Scrollbar can now be dragged when editing event objects with a wall on the right side.
- Question panel now removes any spaces at the begining or an end of a given answer.
- From now on Dungeon Sandbox has a new event object type: NPC. Dungeons can now be filled with unique characters which will make adventures even more exciting! NPCs can be interacted with and have lots of customization options.
Comment has been collapsed.
Editing options and fields now show tooltip messages with explanatory info to make dungeon creation easier, especially for beginners - there is no need to check a wiki-page anymore to learn about each option.
Many sections of the wiki-page got updated as well to make information be perceived easier.
Comment has been collapsed.
Creators can now set amount of items a player would get in an item chest or question panel - this allows, for example, to put some amount of coins in a chest which could be used somewhere in a dungeon.
Duplicate items are now marked with an amount number in the inventory.
Comment has been collapsed.
New big update brings Transfer Tool into Dungeon Sandbox which allows to create transfer events to make event objects change their position and/or direction upon triggering some other event, e.g. stepping on a floor button or pulling a lever.
This makes it possible, for example, to make NPCs move around on certain "triggers" or just add an extra layer of trickery to dungeon puzzles. 😎
Wiki got a new page with information on Transfer Tool.
Comment has been collapsed.
Added in-game tooltips that show the coordinates and direction of a player without a need to open a map.
Comment has been collapsed.
Event Objects can now have multiple possible "Needed Items" or "Activating Items".
Comment has been collapsed.
New updates!
-
An item will now move right into inventory if the transfer event teleports it at the player's location. This makes it possible for any object in the dungeon (which can have a Transfer ID set) to give a player an item after interaction (e.g. by "teleporting" an item from some unreachable location right into player's inventory).
-
Gates can now open either upward or outward, which is much more suitable for many gate types.

Other players can now be seen in a dungeon.

Chests and items can now be resized.

Dungeon Sandbox Wiki got 2 new useful pages:
-
A tutorial page covering many dungeon creating aspects and providing some examples:
https://dungeonsandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial -
FAQ page that has some unobvious, but useful info:
https://dungeonsandbox.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ
In-game tutorial was removed due to constant bugs and insufficient information.

Sorry for not mentioning the GA but, this page is awesome.

If only it had a free camera, instead of the limited vision you get wherever you're standing. This may be the experience intended, but it's tilting for me.

I played around with this and can confirm you can do amazing and hilarious stuff with it! Definitely worth checking out

Haha, yes he was. :D
Me too. :P In the first moment I just watched the screen with my opened mouth. "What the hell is that?!" When I got sense back to my brain I started laughing so hard. :D
I like the dungeon, great idea. ;)

Do you have dyslexia? Because I do and I know that this is a common kind of mistake for those people ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Quite possibly, though I have never been diagnosed with it :D Fixed it now, thanks for reporting.
Comment has been collapsed.
None of the playtesters including myself found that mistake yesterday (at least nobody mentioned it). So I guess it's just a common illusion that occurs with multiple repeated words. Or we all have dyslexia. 🤣
Comment has been collapsed.
I noticed it on my second playthrough. I know that it's not easy to spot for most people, but I'm pretty sure it's more common to make such mistakes for dyslexics ;)

Hi on Firefox you can't scroll down the text on the wall

ALso I cant click on my inventory or any of the buttons on the top
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry about that, I have fixed that problem now. Ctrl+F5 (in the game) might be required once to reload cached files.
Texts in Firefox can be scrolled with a mouse wheel or by clicking "empty" spot on the scrollbar - dragging the thumb indeed doesn't work in FIrefox at the moment, I will try to fix it.

Click on an item in the inventory while standing in front of an object that you want to use it on, e.g. when you are standing in front of a door or a gate.

Guys, keep in mind that you can help me develop and improve the project by sharing your ideas and suggestions right on Dungeon Sandbox website.
It can be anything that you think would make the project better: new features, objects or events, design or gameplay improvements and even bug reports.
Other people can vote for/against your suggestions - this way I can see how many people want suggested feature to be introduced in the game.
DS users get Supporter points for suggesting ideas and voting for/against them - so this is also a chance to stand out among other users :)
I'm looking forward to the involvement of the community and hope for your active support!

I wonder, were you thinking about adding some sounds to the dungeon? O.o I miss sounds of door opening or when stepping on the trap, or collecting items it can do 'ding' or something like that. ;) Not sure about the possibilities of course. :P

Bug report: Currently working on a maze with interactive walls and buttons which make them appear and disappear. Works great except for one case: Wall shall appear directly in front of the player: Wall appears but then moves downward in the ground. To replicate: one interactive wall in front and one to the right or left ( both opened at start), button on ground before them (triggers both). It works if you move backwards on it, but not frontwards. (Tried in Firefox and Chrome)

Thanks for reporting, I'm doing tests at the moment to fix the issue as soon as possible.
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright, it should be working fine now. Keep in mind that walls except the one in front are currently not being animated (they just appear or dissapear upon triggering), but I will add animations for all walls at some point.

Hey guys! I'd like to present a special project which I created for this wonderful community of Steamgifts - Steam Dungeons 3D.
Steam Dungeons 3D is a successor of my previous project - Puzzle Dungeons - which brings dungeon creation to a new level.
It is a project which I created specifically for Steamgifts community which allows anyone to create dungeons in a 3D environment, fully customize them, fill them with different events and objects, hide SteamGifts giveaways and share such creations with SG community by simply providing a link to the dungeon. All in a simple, intuitive way without a need to download any applications.
It is a creative alternative to current unusual ways of giveaway sharing like itstoohard or jigidi.
Check out the tutorial video to see how a dungeon is created (new version)
Check out the introduction video (first version)
Creating your own dungeon is simple and is done through the game itself - the project has its own Wiki page with useful information.
A little history
Steam Dungeons 3D (ex Dungeon Sandbox) is a part of my Steam Dungeons series. Many of you might already be familiar Steam Dungeons: it was first created in October of 2015 under Game of sWords name (and later Shadow Dungeons) and there have been multiple quest events where people could enter a dungeon and search for steamgifts giveaways while playing a role-playing game. People could share and find giveaways in such quests, but couldn't create create their own dungeons.
Here are some of the topics of previous quest events: Quest for Dungeon Heart #2 | Quest for Dungeon Heart #1 | Game of sWords 3.0
Dungeon creation feature was first introduced in Puzzle Dungeons which allowed to create own dungeons and fill them with giveaways. However, dungeon customization was very limited compared to the current Steam Dungeons 3D project and it wasn't too easy to create dungeons there as one needed to download a special Editor application and study a guide which explained how to create a dungeon with it which prevented it from being widely used among the community.
With introduction of Dungeon Sandbox (now Steam Dungeons 3D), which can be fairly called a successor of Puzzle Dungeons, Steam Dungeons became a series of projects consisting of Dungeon Sandbox (now Steam Dungeons 3D) ("casual" part where everyone can create and share a dungeon with a simple-to-study tools) and Shadow Dungeons (now Steam Dungeons RPG) ("hardcore" part, an RPG game where people can't create their own dungeons, but can share and find giveaways and complete exciting quests).
Steam Dungeons RPG currently has a big update in development, so Steam Dungeons 3D is the main active part of Steam Dungeons at the moment.
This is a Steam Dungeons website where you can read about both projects of the series
Browser compatibility
Feel free to use Steam Dungeons 3D to create unusual and exciting events here on SG :)
