The Team
In what may be a surprise, Stencyl is currently a solo, self-funded venture run by Jonathan Chung. Joe Dolivo, a close friend, volunteers his time to handle developer relations and education outreach. In 2012, we plan to expand our formal team out in order to meet Stencyl's growing needs and ambitions.

Stencyl operates in large part thanks to volunteers from around the world who provide support to the community and contribute to the free aspects of the Stencyl platform. Several have been part of the Stencyl journey since its humble beginnings.
