Here is the Platinum Arts Sandbox Beta 2.2.0 Release :) For anyone who is unfamiliar with Sandbox, here is a bit about it:
"Sandbox is a game design tool based on the Cube 2 engine that allows users to quickly and easily create and edit their own worlds in game, even cooperatively. It is free, open source, and easy to use for Kids and Adults."

Here are just some of the goodies included in Sandbox Beta 2.2.0

* New Maps - Save The Princess (3D Platformer with speed boost power ups!), Forest
* New Quests - Apple Picking on Village, and rescuing the princess on Save The Princess
* New Cloud Options - Now clouds can be added that scroll above the landscape! Height can even be adjusted. Also the Skybox can rotate making the clouds appear to move.
* New easy to use Sandbox launcher thanks to James "ZKAT8IT" Burns, check his site!
* New Characters can be added - Now characters and animals such as bears can be added!
* Numerous menu changes and enhancements - Menus have been tweaked to improve ease of use and they can also be customized for color, font, etc.
* Basic Multilingual Support - WE NEED TRANSLATORS!! Please see here for more information!
* Available now in English, Dutch (thanks Ben 'gamshobny' Tilma!), and Swedish (thanks Lucas Orsvärn!).
* Editing made even easier!! Can change flying speed by using + and - keys!
* Many Graphical Enhancements - Many map updates, nicer looking waterfalls, rain, scrolling clouds, some redone textures, etc.
* Numerous bug fixes and features added "under the hood".
* Improved Jukebox and Musicpack implementation
* New Music and a lilypad model!

If you are interested in our future projects please be sure to check http://PlatinumArts.Net which is the official business page. That site will be updated soon including a list of all of the countries I've seen LMS played in. Additionally, under the link AUDIO GOODIES you'll find various past LMS interviews, funny clips, and other random media including some very nice words about LMS from TTimo who is a coder for ID Software. Keep checking our sites because there is more LMS media to come as well including a trailer and possibly a map pack. Be sure to keep up on Platinum Arts Sandbox at http://Kids.PlatinumArts.Net which will most likely the engine that powers our future projects including the possible LMS standalone and/or LMS fantasy Standalone.

I want to give the LMS community a big thanks for your continued interest and commitment to our mod. It has been a real pleasure to meet so many of you great people and it has meant a lot to me. 3.0 was supposed to be the final release but you wanted more so we gave you more Smile I hope you enjoy the new goodies. Take care and stop in and keep and touch.
