In Stencyl I can do almost anything I want, but in Unity I feel like my hands are tied and a sock has been stuffed in my mouth. While I am amazed by the new possibilities, I am equally frustrated. I was getting very close to finish my first strategy game, but after peeking at Unity several times, I decided to attempt the switch and eventually redo the game here. Dreams were crushed and lessons learned, so I made some smaller Idle Games and uploaded them on Kongregate with some moderate success (most of it due to the games being Idle Games, they get high play numbers no matter the game). I did just about every classic beginner mistake one could make, such as tackling projects that were way too big for me, or assuming my first game would naturally be a great success and the only question is whether to buy a boat or a jetski. This is not about a single game but rather a blog of my attempt to make better (and bigger) games each time.Ībout a year ago I discovered “Stencyl”, a game engine that caters to the absolute beginner, which I was at that time. I just started with Unity and would like to document my journey, I hope it is okay to put it in this forum.
