Re: How do you get your games popular on scratch?

Usually you get one project frontpage and if it is good then all your projects get frontpage.

I agree. But also, you should try advertising your projects in the Show & Tell forum and your signature. Also, put your game in some people's galleries, if they will let you.

Yes, as iamrpk already said, post your projects in the "Show and Tell" forum.

I think my projects got front page from being on my signature.

Sadly, I've never been front page. It's obvious keroro did, he's a great scratcher with great ideas.

I think some of my projects are pretty good (one has nearly 50 love-its)
but I'm not the most popular person around...  sad

My webcam project got frontpage but I didn't really want it to. I don't know if I should delete it or not.

Well think:

Does it help you in any way?

Does it help anyone else in any way?

Why do you want to keep it?

Why do you want the opposite?

That's what I always do when I make a decision like this.

I think it's ok.

1. It's not like you spammed at all or even advertised for that matter.
2. I doubt a better project will come up if you delete it.

Re: How do you get your games popular on scratch?

Hey, maybe my KoolCode programming language will get front page if he deletes it. ^.^ I got 95 views on it.  big_smile  I still need more people to view it though.  hmm

Anyways, Arch why don't you put it on your test account. (I finally got my test account!  big_smile  lol) But I think it's fine where it is anyways.  smile

Actually, since it's one month old, it could not possibly hit any front page besides featured or surprise

Re: How do you get your games popular on scratch?

My cousin Gamexcb2 just got on the front page. He didn't do anything to do it either, except making a 3d project. If you catch the attention of people or make something that is really cool it will draw people in.
