Thanks very much for the reply, Jon. One of the many things that are so awesome about Stencyl is that with API functionality for "The Big Two" of the flash gaming world, (NG and Kong) the door is wide open for sponsorships and you even threw in Mochi Ads support for good measure.
Any decent game designer can work the monetization through that path to make a pro license and a mac station totally attainable with a little hard work and persistence.
You will hear from me again when my game is finished.
