Stencyl 3.0 - Design Once. Play Anywhere.

Stencyl 3.0 – Design Once. Play Everywhere.

With Stencyl 3.0, we’ll be bringing Stencyl to all major platforms. We'll also be unifying all our technology behind a single engine and language that continues to export native apps to each major platform.

- iOS
- Android
- Flash
- Windows
- Mac / Mac App Store
- Linux
- HTML5 (Experimental)



With this new engine, the vast majority of new functionality will immediately be available for all platforms. Updates and fixes will come quicker. And we'll be able to pull off some new tricks too.


How do I get/download Stencyl 3.0?

Stencyl 3.0 is in private beta and is only available to paying customers. If you are a paying customer, visit the Stencyl 3.0 forums to access the 3.0 download area.

If you have trouble locating this area, contact us.


When will Stencyl 3.0 be publicly available?

When we're ready, we'll release it to the public. As it stands, we still have plenty of feedback coming in from customers.

Over a dozen apps have been approved for the App Store and Google Play in the past month, all made with 3.0.


Will Stencyl 3.0 still be free?

Yes, there will still be a free version under the exact same terms as today (publish to web, forced preloader / splash screen).

I wait it!

It sounds interesting. Will it be free, just like Stencyl 2.1? What limitations will it have compared to the paid version?

Fantastic news

Flash and HTML5 exporting will be free under the exact same terms as today (showing a pre-game splash screen).

We will continue to offer a free, unlimited "trial" of other functionality.

One thing I didn't talk about is price - it's going to be extremely competitive/fair pricing for the Studio package, and current subscribers are going to get a sweet deal out of this.

Great to hear! 

Sounds like a great update! Nice work as always.

Really cool! When is the projected (penciled in) release date?

Using the haXe language, my personal favorite, would make the most sense. I hope you're using that for 3.0.

In Stencyl 3.0 needs to reload documents to "see" all?

Looking forward to giving html5 a try.

Looks really promising.

Can you tell what language will be? Or is it secret?

Very exciting news. Can't wait!

then it is possible to add support for windows phone?

I'm looking forward to 3.0; Stencyl's progress has been amazing.


Oh, you've done it again Jon; "Stencyl will arrive this summer"! Could you use calendar months and quarters, etc. please? Summer is at different times of the year depending upon where one lives!
