And yes, you can download it without having to sign up (I checked to make sure).

Well, Stencyl isn't really there yet, unless you want to do a really basic game. You can make a Mario-type game (but SMBX and Super Mario 63 are for that), or a Zelda-type game, which only lets you slash enemies and bushes. It isn't yet possible to do RPGs (use RPG Maker, any version).
So yeah, disappointing is the word.

About the RPG making part, you'll have to start from scratch and work your way up.
Also, you'll have to create lists and attributes for items and stats, as seen in this image.

Don't forget about being able to do behaviours from scratch as well,.
I've been using it for a small game, and theres one thing that's gotten on my nerves a little so far, and it's the tilesets. I can't import the image I edit in GraphicsGale and replace the current set of tiles. Instead it adds them to the end of it. It makes doing updates to tiles a little tedious.

Ha I remember 2+ years ago people in another forum saying Stencyl was an elaborate joke and that it didn't exist nor was it in production.
It probably converts it somehow--who knows. I played around with it this morning and it seems nifty enough.

....how does flash work on an iPhone?
>.< It doesn't, but that's just my old iPhone; apparently the newer iPhones use flash and it runs perfect (my brother has the newest one out, he said it runs smooth).
Weird, all the games I tried from that page had lag like hell. It may be my crappy computer's fault, but that doesn't happen to me with other flash games, so I'm not sure... Did anyone else noticed something like this? Could it be this engine's fault?
Making games directly for iPhones sounds very appealing though. Perhaps I should try it anyway.

From what DBAce9 said, it seems instead of not only having the ability to make RPG elements it offers more freedom than RPGMaker to boot!
It seems to also utilize ActionScript, which is a much nicer language (and faster language) to work in than ruby. I might use this software...

Anyone who says that has never used Actionscript for a nontrivial project before. Actionscript is awful.

...than Ruby. As in I would prefer it over Ruby. You're riught on the non-trivial project parrt though. ActionScript is a dialect of ECMA script, and so therefore resembles JavaScript. So its a far more familiar language to me than Ruby.
If I were doing a very nontrivial project I would use Java or C#, but seeing that Stencyl doesn't have either, AS is basically better than nothing. (Or rather better than GameMaker's language).
