First Project

   Well, for my Game Designing course, I have to create a flash game with a few other guys. What better way to experiment with stencyl. We haven't come up with a tittle yet but I think it'll be an alright game. It won't be awesome of course, it's only our first game after all.

Stencyl

    Stencyl is a game creating software that showcases less on the programming or codes, and more into the workflow. According to their site, it is not only aesthetically pleasing, but intuitive in it's design. Their focus is to allow developers to work on their game without necessarily knowing a lot of the advanced game mechanics configurations such as in-game physics. It is essentially a good tool to learn from and excellent for beginners [10].

   A unique feature that Stencyl has is the StencylForge. StencylForge is an in-built directory featuring numerous downloadable resources created mostly by the users themselves. These resources include graphics, sound effects, music, behaviors, as well as example games. StencylForge is a useful tool allowing for quick study of how materials work and accelerate the integration of resources.

  Stencyl caters to both Mac and Windows and can create games for the web and mobile devices. However, the latter requires the purchase of a 1 year license. In short, Stencyl is an intuitive and beginner friendly game creation software able to create flash games for free.

About

   

    Hi, I'm Ahmad Ikhwan. I'm a university student studying in Uniten taking the Information Technology - Graphics and Multimedia course. This blog is basically where I store all the things I've done and to show of my skillz, a portfolio I suppose. If you're wondering about the strange name 'Lumicakery', it's the username I use for online purposes such as online games and forums . I also have a Newgrounds account where I mix some music here, and a Deviantart account over here.

  Below is a part assignment, part self promotion digital resume. It's a simple project just to show the surface of what I'm able to do. And yes, this is the only picture of me.
