Hi all,

UNLIMITED now has a Facebook page and Twitter. Please find the links below. Would be very grateful for any Likes or Shares. We will also be exhibiting the game at the Wales Games Development Show tomorrow Wednesday 26/06/13. It's going to be crazy busy with the finest game developers Wales has to offer. Hopefully some of them will be realising the potential of Stencyl by the end of the show. Thanks for the support...

Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. First time I got my mind blown by a book.

Every time I go the bookstore I see books from The Dark Tower series and am always about to pick it up but then decide not to. This has been going on for months. I love Stephen King so I am sure I will enjoy them.

If you like Stephen King you should check out anything by Joe R. Lansdale.

1984. George Orwell. Especially apt in today's always connected society.

Thanks guys,

Originally we were building the game in Unity but found that Stencyl was actually a better fit for our needs. To be honest, we still don't know whether the whole thing is going to be possible (six mini-game styles, many graphic novel scenes, a social element) but we are giving it a shot. We are upgrading to 3.0 to carry on and hope to release within another year. Also thinking of kickstarter and maybe trying to recruit an experienced HaXe programmer as there's only so much that I can do with code blocks. We are showing the playable game (3 mini-games, various cut-scenes, scoreboards, etc.) at the Bafta Cymru Wales Games Dev Show later this month so hopefully we will get some more interest there as well.

Having used Stencyl (as well as Unity and Gamemaker), for around 9 months now, and releasing a game on iOS and Android, I must say that it's a great toolset for designers, and with the right amount of drive and enthusiasm, anything (2D) seems to be possible. The great community and support is also a major plus.



Regards, Phil

Hey all,

The physical arrived today and it's great. If anyone has a hard time learning through online tutorials and youtube videos then it comes highly recommended. I am in my 30's though so it may just be me.

Thanks again, Phil.

Game Ideas / UNLIMITED Teaser Trailer Released

« on: June 04, 2013, 06:01:13 am »

Hi all,

Here is a teaser trailer for UNLIMITED, an original super-hero themed arcade action title being developed by myself and two others for mobile devices. Currently sitting in Stencyl 2.2 limbo with around a fifth of the game built and working well on devices, we plan to dedicate at least another year to completing this project. Please check out the vid and let me know what you think...

I have no idea why it's not working for you. I only followed the steps in the Stencylpedia.

so can you give me a link to the site because  i do have the latest  version of Xcode witch is the 4.6.2 is this what your talking about also please not the a im currently running mount lion  OS X 10.8.3 dose that effect me at all with Xcode?

The Xcode and Mountain Lion version numbers shouldn't matter. If your 'Phone/Tablet/Whatever is running the latest update...6.1.3 (or 6.1.4 for iPhone 5) and you have recently downloaded Xcode you should be fine (The newest Xcode download comes with the 6.1.3 SDK).

Have you tried publishing Ad Hoc? This doesn't go through Xcode. Do you still get an error?

Hi,
I was having issues testing via Xcode recently due to SDK incompatibility. I'm not 100% but i think that if you want to test via Xcode, the base SDK of the 'testing device' and 'Xcode' will need to be the same. For example, if your device is running 6.x you will need to download the latest version of Xcode form the Mac App Store which contains 6.x also. If you want to test via Ad Hoc publishing in Stencyl 2.x however, you will not need to do this.

Ask a Question / Re: big actor fps

« on: May 22, 2013, 03:03:11 pm »

I can only speak from Mobile games experience but yes, large actor animations can degrade framerate. I ended up using a basic background with many smaller animated actors placed on the layer above it  to create the illusion of an animated background. No Framerate problems since.
