The whole temporary downside though, as I said at the beginning, is it's in private beta. I'm really rather excited for that because I'm sure there'll be lots of great games that we'll soon be able to play (expect to see some of mine!), and it'll be nice having a game creation IDE for linux. Expect to do some research before making really worthwhile snipits.īut, really, the most exciting part (and the only reason I'm really posting this here) is because it and it's games are completely cross-platform. While making a game's very easy if there's already snipits available, but if there's not a snipit available for an action you want to do, the snipit designer can be intimidating. Is there not a snipit for dieing when you fall down a pit? Then you create one, and you can then upload it to stencyl forge so that other people seeking similar functionality can easily download it and add it to their own games. Essentially, the amount of wasted effort drastically decreases. Snipits you make can be uploaded to stencyl forge, where OTHER people can plug them into their objects. Snipits are honestly one of the best collaboration game creation ideas I've ever heard of or experienced. You make games by creating "actors." You then assign Snipits to them for their functionality. Stencyl is an awesome game creation tool that's currently in private beta.
