bittyBIG Dynamic Camera

A drag and drop replacement for Stencyl’s default camera behavior.

Stencyl’s default camera is limited in many ways.

In smaller resolution pixel art games like:

1. most indie games,
2. game jam projects,
3. every game actually made in Stencyl

the distance on screen between one pixel and the next is usually noticeably large, and the camera can only snap to those pixel increments.
The result is this obnoxious jitter that’s highly distracting and makes movement feel off. It was annoying and it stuck with me.

I built this camera system out of frustration.

What I was visualizing in my head was often being met with unnecessary resistance.

The bittyBIG Dynamic Camera was created with one guiding principle:

Technical limitations shouldn’t stop developers, especially those who are newly passionate, or just untechnical from releasing their creativity.

Over 100 hours went into designing a system that handles the hard parts for you.
ZERO code required. Very simple setup. And yes, it works better than Stencyl's built-in camera.

Here's what you can do with it:

• Drop it into any project seamlessly. no coding necessary.
• Follow one or multiple actors with smooth, sub-pixel accurate motion
• Choose one of multiple presets or create your own custom preset
• Automatically center the camera between multiple players, perfect for co-op and shared-screen gameplay
• Apply customizable horizontal and vertical offsets with optional easing
• Zoom in and out with adjustable duration and multiple easing styles
• View live debug data directly on screen while testing
• Modify all camera settings directly in the Scene Editor - no recompiling required
• Includes a preloaded Camera Actor and separate behavior for easy integration into more complex system
