Also, the games tend to lag if there are too many assets in the games. > > Stencyl has been one of the best game engines I've used, I love the fact that there's a built-in photo editor, the editor was very useful for creating and editing game sprites on the fly. The drag and drop coding system and numerous pre-built game behaviors, make the game development experience feel like a fun game itself. Additionally, the preview and debugger are super useful to perfecting your Video Game. Stencyl is just one of the best out there, soon I would return to using it. Thank you so very much Stency. ----- ### "New to game development with no coding experience" — 4.0/5 > **Tavaris** | *25 November 2022* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software to me is like the basic structure to game design and development. The IDE has everything build into it so there is no worries about having to switch back and forth between software. This is a very good tool to use to understanding coding even though you use the block method to code logic. I would recommend this software to beginners who want to learn about game development. > > **Cons**: More exports to different platforms such as Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox. I believe more people would be quick to buy the software since it's real easy to use. > > I had a good experience with the software. I even trained my little nephew on how to use it. ----- ### "Great game prototyping and learning tool" — 3.0/5 > **Julio** | *31 August 2019* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Stencyl is a great start for learning game development and programming, specially for children.
