Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I found a pretty cool Series of animations. it's only been seen by a few people (like, 20 or something). The creators are still making it and trying to have it recognized, and they even have a website to help them. If I became a Scratch Curator, I would choose cool stuff like that, to help people out, and just because everyone will enjoy it!  smile

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I want to be a curator
I come from germany
I'm a very good programmer(Lots of my games are in german and I don't upload it!)
I want to give new scratchers a chance to get their project front paged
(New scratcher has good games, but nobody look at them)

NOBODY LOOK AT MY STUFF

So I want to be a curator to give scratchers a chance

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I want to be curator. I will select projects from non- famous people, making sure that they are getting views to prevent them from being discouraged. I will only select projects that I think they have worked hard on. I will select from all different varieties. I will make sure that you have not chosen wrong. That is, if I'm chosen as the next curator.  tongue

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I want to be curator, because I'm interested in Scratch and I'm good at making decisions. There are really great projects in Scratch, and I will curate them! So, can I be curator? Thanks for even considering me to be curator.

And, you are unlikely to get selected if you curate only your friends projects.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

If I was a curator, I would be really happy because I want those certain scratchers that want to be discovered for their projects, they would be discovered. I wouldn't just pick projects projects from my friends list, even if they wanted me to. I want people to have big smiles on their faces  smile  , just like I did when I learned about scratch at my camp. I am really good at scratch and constantly making projects and thinking up ideas. I would really apreciate it if I was a curator. I would want to inspire more people to make projects on scratch, whether it's from scratch (like made on their own) or a remix. I encourage people to <go to[ the scratch website and some do. I would never do anything to make Scratch dissappear.  big_smile

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

This is my 3rd attempt to become curator. As a curator I would mostly curate projects that are either animations or platformer(ish) games. I would follow these guidelines

Less than 30 views
less than 15 love its
more than 40 seconds of gameplay or animation
score highest on my ratings
scratcher's projects haven't been on the front page for over a month

I would try to put new projects up every 3rd day. I would see if the game or animation goes 'above and beyond' with it's programming skills or art/animation skills. This is the ratings guidelines (for use above)

Animations
Art (quality of the graphics): /5
Animation skills (frame rate, actually animating, costumes, etc...): /25
Length (6 for 40 seconds 10 for over 119 seconds): /10

I would then convert it to out of 100

Games
Graphics (quality of the graphics): /10
Gameplay (the feel of the game/difficulty: /25
Length (estimated time taken to get bored of the game) (<40 not curated, 40-50 6/10 >120 10/10):  /10
programming skills: /5

convert it to /100

I would compare all the scores and the 3 with the highest score will be curated.

Here is an example of a scoring
(link to project)

Game
Graphics:  9/10
Gameplay:  22/25
Length:  10/10
programming skills:  4/5

90/100

Thank you for your consideration,
Max Flyboy

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Hmm, I have a question. As most of us know, you are not allowed to be curator if you are not a 'Scratcher'. But what if that person is really active and helpful on the main site and they rarely come on the forums?

Just wanting to know.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would like to be a curator. I have been on the website for almost 3 years. I would choose projects that have really complex programming. Thank you for your consideration.


Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

If you are really active on the main site, you can get promoted with only one post.
