Never used this product but I've seen it mentioned in a couple communities, allegedly it doesn't require much coding http://cookbook.game...rials/1/parts/1

I like html5 with javascript for 2d or Unity with c# for 3d but both of those require coding.

I got my old android phone to load a 50,000 tile (64x64 pixel tiles), generated map with html5 but it only had 4 fps, on PC i can generate a 250,000 tile map while still maintaining 140-250 fps depending on the size of the canvas, despite all the negativity about html5 performance. Google's V8 engine converts javascript to machine code at run-time making it very fast, they created a plugin to run V8 in IE giving you HTML5 capabilities in IE6 onwards if you can get users to install the plugin "chrome frame". They're working on versions for the other browsers as well. I'd say it will only get better in the future...

Lots of engines allow html5 development, kongregate does allow html5 games. It may be a good path to get started http://www.kongregate.com/html5-games

I'm using as3 and flashpunk. I feel that flashpunk does almost all of the stuff and that I just have to focus on graphics and gameplay...well that is just how I feel but I still think that you should try again AS3 with flashpunk (maybe using flashdevelop)

Game salad only works on Mac.

I really prefer no scripting. :)


Indeed you are right. If you know exactly what games you want to make and what you would need for such game types (and make over 250$ which is your initial spending with iOS dev account + stencyl subscription per year) it might work. Let us know about your progress.


You do not have to pay stencyl to publish games on the web (PC) . I will move on other platforms later.
