Anyone know how this compares to Gamemaker? They both feel similar in terms of pricing / feature set (although Gamemaker runs on Windows only for the latest version).

Making games can be a pretty brutal experience. Love tools like this, especially in the early stages where quick prototypes are extremely valuable. Hunt for that fun as quickly as you can.

Stencyl is cool. I would recommend Construct2 as well.

This program is amazing and has so much potential. You can make simple games or you can make things quite complex. For example I designed two simple mobile games recently with no coding experience. http://polyb.it if you're interested.

Love it! Has anyone here created a game using Stencyl yet?

creates Flash-Games for the web? really? why should one build flashgames in 2016?

Neat concept - worked briefly with another startup that was in the same space and was really impressed with the potential for the average non-tech guy (like me!) to create some really neat stuff. I like it.

Great.
