#Construct 2 vs stencyl plus

Stencyl expands on the snapping block programming style of Scratch with a wider range of block types plus two ways to package complicated block stacks into reusable pieces ( Behaviors and Custom blocks). Thanks to the GDevelop community for being open and welcoming on this stuff.Import Game doesn't work, try unzipping the file into the stencylworks/games directory) Thanks to my testers Sion and Patchouli for their feedback. Thanks to for being my rad wife and being supportive and happy I was doing something creative for once. Special thanksĪs mentioned above, thanks to for inspiring me to finally give this a go.

For the art and audio resources, I pulled from and itch.io's free game asset sections. I also jumped on the GDevelop 5 discord ( linked here) and got a bunch of help from the fine folks there. I've put ~15 hours into learning it, and built the platformer game/demo as my learning process.

It basically seems like a free version of Construct 3/Stencyl, which actually allows you to use code if you really want to (JavaScript).Īfter reading through the tutorials, I realized it would be super simple to get this up and running once I understood the basics.

When I was about to dig into Stencyl and Construct 3 tutorials on youtube, I found a bunch of videos talking about a newer open source/free engine.

Construct 3 and Stencyl are very easy to get up and running, but costly if you don't want object limits.

However it currently requires much more code than I'm willing to deal with.

Godot is SUPER flexible, to the point where it seems like a real (free) competitor for Unity.

However, some things that should be really easy end up being complex (making a GUI, or a title screen, aligning text with other text on the screen, etc)

GameMaker Studio 2 makes a lot of real complex things real simple (player movement, stats, etc).

I know a decent amount of JavaScript, and used to know C# very well, but didn't want to freshen up for the small projects I intended to do.Īs I began to dug into those, I realized a few things: My goal was to do as little coding as possible.

While looking into what else was available, I realized I had a GameMaker Studio 2 license hanging around from years ago, and also found "Godot". Now that this is done, I'll take a small break and move on to what I originally wanted to make.įirst, I used fantastic post around Giant Rom and the Giant Rom Boot Camp.Īfter reading up on various engines, I originally started messing with Stencyl. I saw a bunch of examples for multiple engines that were focused around building a platformer, so I decided to try that. I had a game idea rattling around in my head, and wanted to learn a game engine that could possibly accomplish it. This is for everyone to freely download and look through if they want to learn how I did some of the stuff in the platformer. I also uploaded my project files with comments throughout.

GDevelop 5 lets you export your games to HTML and upload directly to itch.io, so you can go right here to play: įeel free to leave any feedback you like either on Itch.io or here. In theory, with all of this done I could iterate and create additional levels relatively easily.

Enemies with full animations, different AI/behaviors, HP, and damage stats.A working HUD showing your player health, lives, and current stamina.A hero character with jump, attack, idle, move, and dash animations.

I made a 1 level demo with a title screen. Silver-Streak made a game! What did you do?
