Stencyl installed OK, but then failed to build a test game due to a Flash error. Seems to be a problem with permissions on the filesystem (I install as administrator, but run as a normal user), but that's a bad sign, so I'll leave it.
Am now trying GameSalad, which I've used a couple of years ago, and liked on Mac, but the PC version was buggy, so we'll see if it's improved in the past 2 years.
Hi Lavon, That worked now and it looks good (I was able to build the examples and try them). Thanks for fixing on a weekend.
I've bought the Pro version. Look forward to getting more demos and templates as and when they are available.
FYI When it opens there is a news window that shows no content, so I think that might not be working.
A better error message with the registration would have been helpful (e.g. something indicating what I could do next, such as look at the support forums, and telling me that I could close the window). Obviously it's in beta, but still, to simply stop the install with that message showing on screen was a bit hard core. It's particularly irritating for legal users when rights or registration code fails.
