I know people have been asking if I would make sprites, backgrounds etc so I wanted to let everyone know I will be uploading most of my game sprites, backgrounds etc to the stencylforge and also to my site. And they are public domain, so enjoy them and have fun making great game with them!

I want to even make more but I’m not sure what people would want, so I made on my site a Poll.

Although I don’t use Stencyl (Just came here to see what its about), looks interesting. Good on you for helping amateurs.

Thanks for the comments I appreciate it.

I’m planning on making many more StencylWorks Tutorials, I’ll keep posting them here.

Could use subtitles it’s kinda hard to understand your accent.

Awesome! Shame I’m not using Stencyl anymore untill I’ve got all the sprites for the game sorted. Cheers, though.

Really nice work Sunrisekingdom this topic should be linked from the sticky this forums has already.

Thanks for the feedback.

Due to your suggestions I now added subtitles to all of the videos. I hope this makes it easier to understand.

I’m planning on making many more StencylWorks Tutorials; I’ll keep posting them here.

This is FAR more helpful than the tutorial Stencyl gives you.

I’m gonna keep an eye out for this thread for possible games I’m gonna make.

Can you make a tutorial about: Sponsored preloaders/intros. How exactly would you add a site’s animation and make it run automatically, and when done, automatically switch scenes?

Even as a regular stencyl user, I have to agree. Keep it up, sunrisekingdom.
