Hi all, I'm Leonard, mobile app developer who loves game development. Using Unity 2D so far for my first serious game (client's project). Interest in HTML5-based game engine, and want to know Superpowers, beside Construct2.
Hello, I'm Michael (aka Pixelrobin aka @ThePixelRobin aka bluerobin2)! I'm a 15 year old self-taught game designer and programmer from the US. I'm also interested in graphic design, web design, UI design, everything design, video editing, pixel art, 3D modelling and DIY electronics (Arduino!). I would probably say I know the ends and outs of Gamemaker Studio pretty well. I decided to finder a lighter, simpler engine to use on the side. Looking forward to following progress on Superpowers and considering eventually taking advantage of the open-source nature to contributing to the engine myself :).
Still a noob-ish-kinda at everything, but getting there.
Hey folks. I'm Matt. 24 years old, graduated from college (majored in materials engineering, and now I'm coding, go figure), nascent game dev living in North Carolina. I've had a long-standing (if largely casual) interest in game design, and recently resolved to teach myself how to make games myself. I have some background experience in coding (dabbled in a number of languages, mostly through high school/college courses) and did make a couple simple games before in Python, using PyGame, but Superpowers is my first real foray into game development.
A good friend who's been at this longer than me recommended Superpowers to me and I took to it pretty quickly. Still getting the hang of things since I'm a bit rusty as a programmer, but it's a learning experience!
Hi Everyone, I'm Anthony. I'm a Business Analyst during the work day and a Creative Generalist and father during the non-work day. I've dabbled in game development and art over the years and want to get a bit more serious and find people to work on projects with. Superpowers seems like a great solution for collaboration!
I've made some very basic games using Stencyl and Unity, I'm not a great programmer, but I can figure stuff out. I also like to make visual art and music here and there (my profile has a link to my website).
If you're looking for someone to collaborate with or for someone to fill a role on your existing small project (Beginner Coder, Intermediate Artist, Intermediate Musician, Project Manager, Cheerleader), please reach out to me and let's talk.
I haven't made anything in Superpowers yet, but that will be changing very soon.
Hi, I'm Caleb.
That is it.
Just kidding.
I'm a self-taught game creator attempting to throw myself out into the world. All my work with Superpowers will be non-profit and completely free. Currently, I'm trying to make a massive RPG, and having troubles getting started. New engines mean new adventures, and I'm all for it! And if you'd like to help, I wouldn't turn down a few helpful hints! Thanks, and let's have some fun!
Nice to see interest in the Superpowers IDE & Engine - I'm Joshua, an Englishman living in Sweden. 15+ years experience as a professional software developer, 30+ years playing and dabbling with making games, Microsoft certified developer trainer, Agile Coach, father of 2. I've participated in Ludum Dare, organised a GGJ location and tried out a bunch of game IDEs & engines. Attempting to do #1Gam this year!
My interest in Superpowers stems from a desire/need to Game Jam together with my kids and their friends. Teaching them the intricacies of a distributed source control system like GIT and having them all install an IDE and keeping it updated is an impossible task... It looks like Superpowers hits the sweet-spot of enabling enough to actually make an advanced game, providing real-time collaboration and integrating it all in a simple to use IDE! I'm impressed by what the team have accomplished.

Hey, I'm An, I was a UI programmer for Star Citizen for two years (known there as "CIGHuntokar" or Brandon Evans", but I prefer An w/ friends now :v) before I quit the games industry and went to Dreamworks Animation, where I write lighting tools now. My usual M.O. these days seems to be really intensely into some open source project and contribute helpful tools until I run out of ideas and burn out then move on, but with Superpowers I'm helping my best friends create a game they've wanted to make forever so hopefully I'll be around longer.
Hey there. I'm Danny. CraftStudio was the one project which led me to it's successor.
While I, at some point, moved away from CraftStudio and started using different Engines like Unity... I kinda plan on tinkering with Superpowers, maybe extending it with plugins and the likes.
At least one idea I have for that is to be able to do scripting in different languages, which would be possible through some kind of "translator" for code.
But for now I'm really only starting to get a hang of JavaScript and TypeScript, which is great, because I will be able to reuse that skill for web development.
Hey!
I'm Ben. I've been using GameMaker since GameMaker 5 and I love it. I'm looking into Superpowers as an additional engine for me to use. I teach GameMaker Studio on YouTube and Udemy. I'd like to start teaching Superpowers as well. I love the fact that Superpowers uses TypeScript and has such a clean IDE. I'm excited for the future of the engine and I hope to be a big part of that future.

Hi
I'm Jessie, I started off in libgdx about a year ago and am now enjoying using Superpowers html5. I have been streaming and recording the process of learning to do basic things in super powers and been porting a game that I have made in libgdx to Superpowers. So fare I am very impressed with Superpowers and once I get around to it I will put the videos on youtube for others to hopefully learn a few things from, for now though I am just streaming.
Hello
I am a self-taught programmer and definitely not a good artist. I enjoy making video games, but I'm also interested in creating software for ease of use. I know many different compiling and scripting languages, but I am an expert in none of them. I enjoy object oriented programming better than procedural. I am new to "SuperPowers", but I am enjoying the ease of use and the robust community ready to help at a moments notice!
Thankyou for accepting me into this community!
Hello,
My name is Sylvain and I'm french. I'm training in front-end web development, and I'm also a dabbling artist and bass player. I'm interested in making video games for a long time but I've never gone very far with it (played a bit with RPG Maker and Game Maker).
I'm trying to learn Superpowers right now and I wanted to thank Antarka Games and Michael Seyne for their great tutorials (thank you HeartBeast too, your tutorials while I was toying around with game maker were very helpful).
I'm eager to succeed in finishing a game this time and I'm looking forward to participate in this community.
Hi everyone !
We're Zhao & Mjollna, two hobbyists (and beginners) in game making.
Two weeks ago, we've started to create the prototype of a platform game with Superpowers. We've finished today \o/
It's released here : https://chocolat-endive.itch.io/chocodive
We hope you'll have fun with it, and that the content/code can be useful to others :)

Hi every single one game makers out there!
I'm Ricardo, a "Self-taught Single-man Game Studio" (it means what you're thinking, i do ALL the work needed for a videogame and yes, i learn everything myself either by experience or by reading about it somewhere).
I'm from Venezuela, a forsaken country in the north of south america (i dare you to locate my country without using any google services or similar, just try, i can wait).
Jokes aside, it has been my dream since i can remember to make an awesome game, a really, impactful game, like M***o or Z****a or P*****n, but actually i never really "finish" a game until now (sure, i've made a bunch of clones of classic arcade games with some public domain assets, just for the fun or as learning exercise, but nothing brand new from scratch to final release).
So, to cut to the chase i'm hoping that, with the... Superpowers that i downloaded, maybe i can finally make a polished game!
Hi,
I'm antarka. I was born three years ago on CraftStudio. I grew up with it and now I live my teenage on Superpowers. During my life I have developed several games like :
Hello, my name is Jonathon. I live in the USA, and have been a programmer in the games industry for nearly 9 years now. In my spare time I like to dabble with side projects, and recently came across superpowers. The thing I love the most about superpowers is the real time collaboration aspect: I was able to work through a tutorial in tandem with a friend who has a desire to learn game development, but no previous experience. I'm excited to see Superpowers continue to develop!
Hello, my name is Alfredo, I am from Venezuela. Personally i have little experience with the game industry but have been in the programming world for 5 years by now, so i'm really excited to begin the adventure of gaming with a growing engine.
My major flaw is the low experience i have with art, design and stuff like that, but i start working on improve my skills and build better games.
Hi. I'm a professional software engineer for native app, web app and mobile app. Also i have a few experiences for 3D technology (OpenGL, mascotcupsle, SIO2, etc), but never experienced as a gaming developer. Somehow i want to join a team to build a demo app or something through superpowers(or else platform). If you are looking for a curious man, maybe i can help in someway. Aside from coding, i can do composing music and designing flyer.
Cheer you guys, and have a happy coding.
Hi everyone,
My name is Kacper and I'm a pixel artist / IT student. I knew about Superpowers from Twitter but didn't try It out until couple of weeks ago. The fact that is a HTML5 game engine with such a nice editor, open source code and amazing potential convinced me to give It a shot and I'm very happy with that.
Hi everyone!
Im Dhruv, a Computer Engineer from New Zealand. The sheer beauty of this engine in terms of usability and polish alongside its immense potential as users start developing plugins (maybe even me!) has really drawn me to Superpowers. Moving from the menial libgdx to developing with this has been nothing short of a pleasure. Well done devs! you're amazing.
I hope to soon have examples up to showcase to everyone.
Within my time between now and February next year I expect to be extremely active so I really look forward into getting into this community!
Hi all!
Name: Victor
Age: Old
From: Indonesia
Never have any experience in writing codes
Never have any experience in game development
Eager to learn how to make a very simple game that at least my children will like it.
I do have limited experience in 3D modelling, maybe that will help me a bit. LOL.
Best Regards.
Victor
PS: By the way.. How I encounter superpowers? Well, I want to make a very simple game, and I search about open source game maker, and superpowers were shown in the top 3 in the list.
Hi, My name is igor, and here is my story on game making...
I started making games 16 years ago and didnt finish anything yet due to a lot of reason, but the main was that i was
Changing the engine all the time (more than 10x) due to the engine limitations ( couldn't fit my needs)
Then i decided to use open source engine instead, so if i reach the limits of the engine, i can add new features instead of restart the game from scratch on another engine or giving up a feature that i want for my game.
I started (making games) with easy to use tools, so its quite hard to left the confort zone for something harder, but deal with the engine limitations can be even worse, sometimes the engine makes it easier to do simple stuffs but harder to do complex stuff (for example, ¹make it easy to add 2D sprites to the screen and move then on x/y and simple physics but ²dont have support for 3D, lights, shaders and you have to do it yourself from scratch if you want this kind of features) the tools that i used in the past solved problems that i can solve my self with a little knowledg in coding, instead of the really hard ones, if i gonna make more for the engine than the engine for me, i rather contribute to something open source instead.
there is no sense in doing add'ons to help proprietary software that make me dependent on one software provider for fix bugs/add new features in the core pieces of the engine, why should i help then to make me dependent on then as my only provider for certain pieces if they arent dependent on me?
even if i chose to , the ones who were adding features to the proprietary engine that i used in the past were backfired when they change their SDK and made the extensions not work anymore on the newer version of their engine.
Also there were an ethical issue, the company that made the game engine was putting their own engine "cracked" on torrent sites to kill their open source competitor ¬¬, i didn't used the competitor because it was windows only, both the engine and the content created with the same and, latter on, the company give up on the open source version of their engine because it was not economically sustainable.
so i was learning html5 because you can make multiplatform games with it and get the best of both worlds (run it on linux, wich is awesome and also run on windows that have an larger marketshare so its more likely to have enough users to make profit) but write my own engine was not easy and i couldnt find an good open source engine, until i find this one (super powers) and even better, they even find an way to sustain it, so it will not die due to monetary reasons .
this engine still don't have the features i need, and i lost the motivation during those years due to never accomplishing anything, i dont have the willpower that i used to when i was studing 12 hours/day so i didnt did any contribution to the engine yet, but my knowled is better than ever so hopefully i will someday, but for now i want to focus on my project and rather finish it than never finish anything, i will finish the prototype even if i have to give up on features, then polish it, by this time the engine already should be more powerfull and i can add the features that are remaining to make it as i wish, instead of add a lot of stuff before i even start my game.
also if i ever decide to move to another engine anyday, it will be easier to transfer the project (insted of reinvent the whell) since the engine is open there will be no data lock in.
Looking forward to see what you can come up with! Remember, this is html5 so there are tons of online js libraries you can port to superpowers to fit your needs. Also, I recommend learning threejs in and out of you want to access more advanced 3D functions. Here is the plugin: https://github.com/florentpoujol/superpowers-game-... and documentation can be found at https://threejs.org/docs/
Have fun! :D hopefully you find this to be the engine you stay with :). (I'm 16 too, so high-five!).
Hi I'm Andrew and I've been trying to build HTML5 games for many years. I first started creating my own JavaScript based RPG engine and had some success with that, but eventually the real world of jobs, family, and time just prevented me from creating anything really interesting. I've had a game idea for a long time but I've never found just the right engine to build it, but from what I see in other Superpowers based games, this could be it! I'm not a big fan of TypeScript but perhaps I can just ignore that and build something fun. I started looking at building a game in Electron, and that led me to rediscover Superpowers. Are you continuing to add features and extensibility to the framework? I hope that this engine gains more adoption as it looks very promising. I think that my game idea will be something that takes advantage of all the features of Superpowers, and I hope to start posting updates here in the WIP forums.
Hi! I'm Ruben, I'm from Spain, and I've just discovered SuperPowers. I'm an "old school" gamer / developer , and I have used other engines like GameMaker, Monkey-X , Stencyl and Godot. I also make illustrations, comics (you can see it here) and music. I have some Flash-web games published, and even a Greenlighted game in Steam! Now I'm heading to make web games again, and this is why I've chosen to try Superpowers. I hope this is a wise choice! :D
Hi
I'm a french coder, i'm trying superpowers and i like the way i can code everything as i like and whereas the typescript is a new language for me, it is really a good one.
thanks for your framework i love it, i was searching that for a long time.
I'm trying to make a tactical RPG but as a hobiist i don't have much time. I hope one day i will post here a demo or a RC of that game.
Hey!
I'm Gresh1234 aka Greshy. I'm a 2D/3D artist from Chile, slowly learning how to code (SLOWLY).
Superpowers is so much different from other engines I'm (not) used to, but it's super fun! I hope I look forward to learning TypeScript and developing with more people! I love collaborating, so be sure to invite me over to your server!
Right now I'm trying to make an FPS in Superpowers, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, My name's John, I'm an old English guy who's really interested in developing visual novels (especially visual novels that don't feature Japanese schoolgirls in high school). I stumbled across this software today and I'm interested to see what it can do. I've worked as a programmer in the past but I'm primarily an artist. So yeah, that's me.
Hello, I'm Calvin from Calva Software's Draconic Studios
I just started a project called Chosen Warrior. Its a game about a Prince who died 300 years ago, was reanimated by mistake, and must regain his past and save the world from a world ending happy cult that wishes to free an old Order of Elemental Titans that will take their vengeance on the Earth, destroy it, and help this cult make a new world in their own image. What's more, he only has 5 days to regain his past and stop them.
Other projects I am hoping to work on are Conquesta, an older style RTS game with new elements, SHADOW, an FPS game about the future of combat with new ways to play, Shopping Royale, a cutthroat shopping battle royale game, and a few others.
My server is open to the public, and its under the name Draconic Studios, and the Password to get in is DraconicStudios.
