Stencyl Game Maker

Star_wolf · May 21, 2007, 08:52:59 PM

Stencyl is a free new game maker that some people are working on. The maker is basically done with kits (Platform Kit, RPG Kit, Fighting KIts, Adventure kits) to make certain games. I read you can get more than one kit and have multiple elements in a game. Looks a bit easier than RMaker

Here is the link http://www.stencyl.com/about/

Well what do you guys think. Any ideas on games you can make with this?.....It seems like things that will take hours to do with RMaker will take just a few clicks with this.

Actually, this looks amazing.... I'm gonna check it out.
Good call man

(maybe this should go in computing? idunno)

EDIT Yuck, it's not even out yet? Guess I'm gonna hafta wait to try it..

Whoa, that's awesome! Did you make that, Irock? This program looks cool... I would use it if I wasn't doing a RM project... Maybe I'll use it to mess around with when I'm bored.

Lavata · May 21, 2007, 11:28:17 PM

This does indeed look amazing, I will have to definitly keep an eye out for this. Still, seems almost too good to be true.

guess its a sticky now.....and IROCK I actually never saw it in action, the physics are almost exactly like a mario game

Irock · May 22, 2007, 08:48:27 PM

I think we have an alpha version coming soon.

Topic about it being released this month

Quote from: Glenn
the release that was to be soon is only an alpha, not a final release, so that would still explain all the discussion, for the rest, I leave to Jon.

Quote from: Irockman1
Will that be a public alpha release?

The Alpha release was to be public.

Quote from: Irockman1
By "was to be" you mean it won't be?

Quote from: Glenn
When it comes out it will be public.

Nice, I am so downloading this when it comes out.

Revo · May 22, 2007, 10:52:39 PM

This looks very promising. I look forward to this.

I hope it comes soon.

Lavata · May 22, 2007, 11:17:02 PM

Hopefully it will be easier to use then RPG maker and Game Maker. However, most likely it will not. Still, can't wait for it to come out.

I'd like to see that Mana pack in action. That and the Mega man one are the ones I have my eyes open for.

Irock · May 23, 2007, 06:48:24 AM

I was chatting with some of the staff, and they said it is very easy to use, although that's the staff.

Lavata · May 23, 2007, 07:30:12 PM

Some people find Game Maker easy....while others don't.

Some people find RPG Maker easy....but others don't.

etc.

I'll find out when it gets released, I guess.

AlwaysIdeas · May 26, 2007, 06:25:18 AM

This looks amazing!
I can't wait to try it.

I agree, Game Maker wasnt easy for me. But RPG maker is easier.

Star_wolf · May 28, 2007, 11:10:28 PM

Well any of you guys have any ideas for what you can do on Stencyl ? I'm already thinking about a Megaman type game....Maybe Minigames !!!! LIke Mario Party

Irock · May 28, 2007, 11:29:04 PM

I'm going to make an old school style Mario game. It'll be so fun.

Maybe we'll even get a Stencyl section.

Ikzai · May 30, 2007, 11:52:10 PM

This looks amazing! Nice find!

ahref · June 01, 2007, 03:41:09 PM

Venom · June 07, 2007, 06:51:20 PM

Malson · June 10, 2007, 03:28:53 AM

I'm chilling in the IRC channel right now even though I don't ever plan on using the program. These guys are pretty cool.

Link · June 10, 2007, 09:13:23 AM

This looks kick ass and i would love to see a metal slug pack for it *drool* metal slug

Malson · June 10, 2007, 11:05:30 AM

You could probably use the mega man pack to make a metal slug game, dude.
