stencyl-engine VS mbs-reader

as for my 2D engine I am using Stencyl as it has a way to use blocks for programming and you could write out the code if you wanted to, it can create games that can be put in market places as well.

Stencyl is a really easy game engine to use. https://www.stencyl.com/ you can probably bang out a few quick games with it as you follow their tutorials.

Try Stencyl .

He used Stencyl

Stencyl! Build on Scratch but way more capable.

For an easy start in game developing, I would suggest to try GDevelop or Stencyl. Both are an easy option to start from 0. Once you get a grasp on programming logic and how to do some basic things, you can move to other engines if you want to do things in 3D.

Never heard of stencil.. but I have heard of stencyl. Maybe it is a variation of it?

If you're not the sociable type (you'll have to work on that because game making is first and foremost team work, but I understand it might be hard if you feel like you're not skilled enough), a lot of solutions exist to easily make your own games on your own, like Stencyl, or Adventure Game Studio. They'll barely require any technical knowledge, but if you really want to focus on writing, then you can even go with text-only tools such as Twine or Ink/Inky.

mbs files are just compressed versions of the xml files you see in your scenes folder, used for deployed apps to conserve space. while the scn files just store RLE-compressed tile data in various layers for display purposes, the mbs/xml files store the collision data as polygons, locations of actors, and a few other things like scene size and number of layers. funny that you asked this recently because i started working on an mbs reader (hopefully soon to be writer) here: https://github.com/hpr/mbs-reader
