no

But this doesn't belong in "sensor boards", now, does it?
Mod, admin, care to move it?

I moved this to "All About Scratch".

And I don't think you should quit!  sad


http://i52.tinypic.com/5es7t0.png I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Do You think I should quit??

it would be good to see a sample of your games if possible, but dont quit cause you get better ideas and better at making the games themselves

Re: Do You think I should quit??

if anything, you should keep trying harder, quitting will just satisfy those who gave you the comments. I like to see comments like that as a push to try harder!

Re: Do You think I should quit??

If there are sour comments, ignore, flag, or hit the [x] by them.
And no, I do not think you should quit, my first project and the next 5-6 really sucked, then I started looking at other projects and started getting better.
you really, should not quit because of some comments.

Don't quit!

I am also a Warrior Cats maniac (as you can see in my signature) and I have made few Warriors projects. The have received good comments though.
To get your Warriors projects popular, you need to make them things that are, a) Related to Warrior Cats, and b) Games/animations that are action-packed and full of adventure, just like the books.
When I first joined Scratch in September 2008 I was in the same situation as you and couldn't think of any good Warriors games. So I took a good look around the Scratch website using the search bar and was surprised to see that most people's Warriors projects, no offense, were actually not all that good at all and weren't related to Warriors at all. The only Warriors-related games I could see were one where you received your warrior name.
So that got me thinking. I thought, Well, the only solution is to think of a game that nobody else on Scratch has made. I even surfed Google and all I found was sites where you could chat to other warriors and pretend you live in a camp etc.
I haven't really made anything that popular just yet, but here are a few ideas to get you started...

1. Warriors movies
2. A gallery where people can add their warriors and chat by commenting
3. A Warriors make your own camp and territory game

I'm even making a Warriors RPG which should be out by April 15th, but believe me, IT'S REALLY HARD TO MAKE. But if you are an enthusiastic Scratch-er like me and work hard at your projects, you'll be able to make all kinds of things.
I hope the ideas I gave you will give you inspiration towards more Warriors projects. I don't think you should quit because Scratch is a safe and friendly place. Also, if you want your projects to be even more popular, go to the "Show and tell" section in the Scratch forums.
I really hope this helps you! Please don't quit!  wink  Happy Scratch-ing!  smile

Re: Do You think I should quit??

Don't quit. Just try spending more time on your projects, and try asking experienced Scratchers to teach you new stuff, or if you still don't understand, fix your errors.

BTW, there are lots of companies in Scratch. You could help in one, or make a collaborative project with someone else.  smile

Re: Do You think I should quit??

If people are mean to  you, you can know that they are being immature and inconsiderate, it isn't like you caused those comments, and you don't need to take them out on yourself, and deleting yourself is (what i think) just what those people want, don't please them!

Re: Do You think I should quit??

If you don't like Scratch, and want to quit, then quit. If you do like Scratch and are willing to take constructive criticism and ignore the idiots, then stay! XP

You shouldn't quit what you like just 'cause others don't like it.

Well, do you like Scratch even?
