3D Game Creation Platform From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Struckd is a mobile game creation platform that allows users to create, share and play 3D games.[2] Founded in 2016 in Zurich, Switzerland,[3] the company and platform were acquired by Unity Technologies in August 2021.[4][5][6]

History

The Struckd application was initially developed and launched on both Android and iOS in 2016[7] by Flurin Jenal and Silvan Bauser.[2] The platform is designed to make game creation accessible on mobile devices without requiring programming knowledge.

In early 2021, Daniel Reichert was appointed to lead the future development of the Struckd platform as the new CEO of the company.[8]

By April 2021, users had created over one million games on the platform, and its user base had reached approximately six million players. According to the company, this growth was achieved organically without paid marketing.[9]

In August 2021, the application and its underlying technology were acquired by Unity Technologies.[5][6] Following the acquisition, Struckd continued to operate as a Unity product. In 2024, the application's user-generated content (UGC) capabilities were expanded to web browsers through a partnership with the gaming platform CrazyGames.[10]

Platform and features

Struckd operates as a game creation system that allows users to build, play, and share 3D games. The platform offers an asset library with which creators can assemble games of a variety of genres like racing, role-playing games (RPGs), and multiplayer experiences.[10][11]

Once a game is created, it can be published within the Struckd ecosystem and played on both mobile and web devices. The most popular Struckd games are played by more than one million players.[12]

An exporter for the Unity Editor is available to export Struckd games outside the Struckd ecosystem.[13]
