Time for action – creating a new game

We are starting with a blank game, so there's no need to import a game file!

  1. Load up Stencyl on your computer.
  2. Click on the Click here to create New Game cutout box, which appears after all the existing games on the My Games screen.
  3. Click on Blank Game at the bottom of the left-hand side panel of the Create a New Game… dialog box.
  4. Click on the Next button.
  5. Type the name of our game Monkey Run into the Name text box under the Basic Info heading.
  6. Click on the Create button.
  7. Wait a few seconds while the blank game is created.
  8. On the main menu, click on File | Save, or click the Save Game icon on the toolbar.

What just happened?

We have created and saved a blank game, but there are no game characters, no scenes, and no gameplay instructions!

It's a basic task, but we've taken our first step into game development with Stencyl.
