Most folks don’t use Stencyl to make their games here. I enjoy it, though, for its ease of use and the way it can make something playable in next to no time. It’s surprisingly deep if you’re experienced with it, but for Ludum Dare I don’t really push it much – I’m more concerned with getting the game in on time.<\/p>\n

One reason for this discussion is because I made a timelapse of our Ludum Dare 32 live stream, which was developed in Stencyl. Aside from the potentially annoying music I put to the video (I wasn’t feeling very creative when I made this) and the fact that I spent a fairly large portion of the video in Photo Impact making art instead of in Stencyl, this is a glimpse into both Stencyl and our game’s design process. We did a similar video for our Ludum Dare 30<\/a> game, which was also made in Stencyl (LD31’s stream didn’t make for a good timelapse).<\/p>\n
