Scratch

Elite48 · 2012-11-15 20:26:10

I have tried and failed to complete my most ambitious project to date. I just don't have enough time anymore. I uploaded my furthest work on the project here (http://www.scratch.mit.edu/projects/Elite48/2354203) in the hopes that someone might take interest and work with me to complete it. So I want your feedback Scratch community. From that husk of a project I think you can sort of tell where I was going. Is it a good idea? Will people play it if completed? What are your general impressions? Any feedback at all is appreciated.

I was thinking of resuming work on a similar project when Scratch 2.0 is released but I won't do that if everyone thinks there's no future in the endeavor.

When I first started the project I asked for help in the forums and only one person replied. We worked together on the project for a little while throwing ideas around and I added his name to the project for his contributions. I hope more than 1 person will reply to this. I really need your help.

Bumb. Seriously? What's the point of having a forum if nobody every replies...

It is very good - I can not wait for the finished product! People will play it. Ill offer to work with you. Maybe we could make a collab?

Amazing game I could help I'm working on an RTS with another collaboration, actually I lead that part of the group I could help a ton with advanced stuff.

Thanks for the replies. As you can probably tell, I'm not new to Scratch but I am new to the forums. I'm not exactly sure how to set up a collab or make it work efficiently. The last time I worked with someone else on this project we just threw around ideas on the forum page and made modifications to the script which we then traded back and forth.

I was thinking I could just come up with some tasks that need to be completed (sprite drawing, etc.) and then people who want to help can sign up to complete those tasks. If you guys are on board let me know how you want to do this.

Bump.

I think it's better if you have members join and then use this method. If that works for you I'm in.

The problem is, people seem to ferociously ignore my forum posts so it's hard to get any feedback at all.

Base10 · 2012-11-20 12:26:11

??? - this is what it is normally like on the forums - there are 10 main topics, and there are millions of normal topics.

YMIBANWAH · 2012-11-20 18:40:01

I think it needs more of a unit base rather than a bunch of buildings and no units yet!

Elite48 · 2012-11-24 16:18:36

No this is done. I'm deleting the project so people can't just rip it but I'm done working on it. There's obviously no interest in this project. I should probably switch to a more mature programming language where the community is a little less interested in cats and Sonic the hedgehog.

Base10 · 2012-11-25 10:45:07

He/she was just giving suggestions. If you can not take constructive criticism then don't make generalisations of thinking that everyone is two around here.

I have it downloaded and will just take it over plus upload it if you do. Jeez I just meant to help make suggestions so you would get more feedback. I thought that if one person gave an idea more people would. I apologize, I just thought it would be nice to help. You need to relax and put the project back up it was great. You just misinterpreted me, and that sort of thing happens to me all the time. Come on please man!

Cats and sonic aren't my thing and there is interest, but most forums threads don't attract many people doesn't mean there's no interest!

I wasn't talking about you guys. I was talking about the general lack of interest in serious projects around here. Thank you for showing interest and offering to help, it really does mean a lot. But I don't have time to finish this project myself especially if its going to be condemned to a fate of 30 views max.

"I have it downloaded and will just take it over plus upload it if you do."

If you want to punish me by taking my hard work for your own, go ahead. I literally can't do anything to stop you and you'll probably get more views on it.

Good day.

Thanks Elite48. That's the problem with scratch, really great projects do not score high up. I guess you have to be active in the forums, be everyone's friend, and then you'll get fame. Or you could get a curator.

I only meant that if you were talking about me. I will post it and credit to you though. Please continue it.

OK, I'll re-post it. If you want to help I could use sprites for the following building labels::

Sea Farm, Spaceport, Orbital Station, Park

I also need the actual building costumes for the Spaceport and Orbital Station to be added to the Building sprite.

I can help you program but stink at graphics.
