Stencyl Jam #18: April 12-22, 2019

Probably should've asked this before, do entries need to be made for any particular platform? I've been making mine for Windows.

Flash or html5?  I think.  Because you upload it to itch... 

Whats best scale, screen size, target platform.. flash or html5? ect for game jam entry.. like a best practices

Desktop, HTML5 and Flash are all equally fine.

Thanks irock!

I have made a game for Stencyl Jam 18 and you can play it here! https://blob.itch.io/flyman-sub

However I am planning on being a judge so this game won't be in the running for the competition, instead it was made for Jam spirit! Good luck to all!

I'm thinking that RPG characters' levels tend to elevate. Could be something I could develop in Stencyl.

I'm working on a metroidvainia stye game with lots of upgrades. I'm have too different ideas for the plot. The first would be about someone stranded on a mountain. The second would tackle the theme in an abstract way and would be about an alien who's captured by an evil corporation and has to stop his technology from being used for evil,  meaning the plot would be about stopping negative elevation.

Ima make a simple game with jumping and stuff

I think I've got an idea, something to do with a sloth climbing stuff. Using the joints extension of course.

Shoot!  My favorite animal haha.. why didnt i think of that.. i am doing climbing and joints.. i wont do sloth though haha. I need to put up a demo tomorrow so i can get some feedback..   i just really want fun controls!

Do you have to make your own music or can you use free music? What about pre-existing tile sets.

Also is there a size limit for the file?

Jam #18: The Little WhirlWind




We are going away during Eastern, so I don't have anymore time left.

You play as a whirlwind to elevate stuff.

Had planned a lot more (as usual), but at least I have some kind of a small game.

I’ve been working on a game where you can’t move the player; you can only move their platform up and down. I’ve made it a boss rush shooter. I’ve finished 36 bosses so far, my end goal is 45.

How do you embed a game in a post?

anyway, here is a link to Slothing Over it, WIP http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/40282

@colburt187:  ha ha ha, that is so funny!

Embed Flash:

Replace the {-}  with [ - ] combinations

But you have to figure out the dimensions...

All right.  I've got something up for the jam.  I'm out of time but it's playable.
Thanks to posts on this forum for getting a lot of it working.:
merrak's physics extension.
Liberado's implementation of that extension.
Jeffery Driver's image api contrail method.
Thanks everyone check it out if you get a chance.
