Chit-Chat / 2D game genres

« on: December 29, 2013, 11:13:14 pm »

I don't play a lot of flash games so I would like to know what genres are oversaturated on browser game sites and which ones do you think there should be more of?

Old Bugs (1.x/2.x) / can't test my own games

« on: October 30, 2012, 11:09:58 pm »

When i test my game with the stencyl software or the uploaded copy on this site it lags horribly. When i ask a friend to test it (the copy here) they see no lag. I tried older versions of my game with the software that used to play fine and they lag as well.

Not sure if this strange bug is covered already but does anyone know what could be going wrong for me?

I use the most recent version.

Game Art / More selection in Pxtone voices and noises?

« on: April 08, 2012, 06:07:23 pm »

Is there any way to find/download free voices and noises to add to the collection of the built in Pxtone voices and noises? I'm talking about ones that someone could not easily make in the editor such as lightening strikes, ambiance sounds, more drums, ext.

Resolved Questions / What do you need to create a first person shooter?[solved]

« on: February 05, 2012, 01:41:37 pm »

Hi, I'm just wondering what tools would I need to create a game with first person view and basic 3D maps? I realize this probably can not be done with stencyl. Also how much code knowledge would this require?

Thanks,
Kara

Ask a Question / How do you make power ups?

« on: November 09, 2011, 01:34:16 pm »

I was thinking of making a top down shooter game and I was browsing forge to see if it had all of the code pieces I needed. I searched for power ups but nothing came up. I'm looking to make randomly spawned power up coins that give the player special abilities such as : Increased damage with gun, Run faster, Bomb, special weapon, shield ,ext. Also I would like these power ups to last a specified time. Is there anything on forge that could do these things? If not would anyone be so kind as to tell me how to create these things. =]

Ask a Question / My actor animations are freezing, what do I do?

« on: November 05, 2011, 10:06:43 pm »

I wanted to create my own actor animations for my main character. I made several poses with Paint and then imported them as frames for the character animations such as running left, right, up, down. As I added the frames the animations windows on the top left were moving but sometimes they freeze and I can not get them to work again without deleting all of the frames in each animation. The freezing happens sometimes when i click save, once after I edited them in Pencyl, and once when I flipped to another webpage. So yeah, I'm quite depressed as I don't know if I can succeed in completing my actor animations. Does this even effect the animations working in game? If anyone has any tips on what I can do to fix this problem I would really appreciate it.

Thanks =]
