Have fun,but I don't recommend using RPG Maker 2003.
I use Mecromedia Flash Player,because when I download a game from RPG Maker 2003 it was dectected as virus,and a flash game said 'Safe'
But anyways.i hope you finish it soon 
EDIT:Names looking embarrassing... D: *I don't think this will end well...*

you and your stupid antivirus...
Listen, 90% of the time your antivirus is wrong

He's probably using McAfee or Norton.
Kid, stop paying for your antivirus and get Avast, Microsoft Security Essentials, or MalwareBytes.

Actually norton is good.
It's never false reported anything in my life.

Here are some ideas:
-Have more famous scratchers (eg nikkiperson, maki tak, archmage, floatingmagictree) be the bosses. Less famous scratchers should be NPCs or minor playable characters. For example, make it similar to Fire Emblem style gameplay - all the not-so-famous scratchers would be your allies and partners who would be optional characters to recruit into your party. Of course, they would have their own dialogue and story and even character development, but I think more people would play and enjoy this game if the famous scratchers they know and love were the main bosses or very important characters.
-Take a small bit of creative license for peoples' characters. I'd say we should alter some characters slightly so it will all fit one theme. I'd vote medieval.
For example, there could be an NPC village of Stick People, and King Fanta would be their leader - literally a medieval king. Archmage and Necromaster would be medieval mages. All other characters should have a medieval twist, for example, taking the modern outfit of Nikkiperson or Swifty and making it look like peasant clothes from medieval times.
-Have some 'classes' or character types that we assign to everyones character to simplify things. By that I mean, have a group of scratchers whose characters and considered Warriors, others who are Magic. I'd propose:
Warrior (08Jackt's Fable Quest hero, for example)
Magic (Archmage or Necromaster for example)
Beast (Any Anthro, Cat, Wolf, Hamster, Pony, or Toki for example)
Maybe a miscellaneous/mythical (Bananaman, FMT, TheDancingDonut)
Since we can easily group peoples creations into classes, we can make stats and moves easier - have all of the Warriors have similar moves for example, with a few moves signature to that character.

Finally, we should try and get permission for these characters:
Nikki (nikkiperson2)
Maki Tak (Maki_Tak)
Archmage (archmage)
Radar, Fable Quest Hero (08Jackt)
King Fanta (KingFanta)
Mikey (xXMikeyPXx)
Maho (MahoAshley)
Mr. Happyman (TheExplodingCheez)
Doody (Doody)
Caramell Star (Caramellstar51)
Trick Star (Caramellstar51)
Radar ('Radar' series by 08Jackt)
Striker ('Fable Quest' series by 08Jackt)
Floating Magic Tree (FloatingMagicTree)
Sherbert (Dream-Caster)
Swifty (swifty2)
Jonzo (Jonzo)
Wolves Star (Wolvesstar97)
Robot Kitty (Robotkitty)
Banana Man (Bananaman)
Blade (Blade-Edge)
The Dancing Donut (TheDancingDonut)
Veggie Man (Veggieman)
Jacqueline (Wes64's 'Spectra')
Cheddar Girl (cheddargirl)
Paddle (Paddle2See)

Just a few suggestions, tell me what you think

A lot of the people you suggested are now inactive so it'll be pretty hard to get permissions.

Anyways if you want you can add me to the game as a minor NPC, don't make me a banana though, just make me a regular human, because I am in no way shape or form a banana. Nothing says regret like the username you made when you were ten.

And he didn't even want to ask me!
I take the upmost offense - and demand to be the protagonist./s

Cool people.

Wow, I missed a lot of stuff. Anyway, I'll try to take under consideration all the ideas you guys posted in future demos, but I've already worked on the demo that's coming out today. So tonight I'm gonna be posting the first demo, and there's a mini-boss in it submitted from kimmy123.

Well... wonderful.
I booted up the ol' PC to put some finishing touches on the demo, and what do you know? The NPCs are there, but all the tiles I placed aren't. It's just pitch black.
I'll do whatever I can to fix this -_-

Should of used a newer version.
Try using like a 2007 or 2010 version.
An older version has more bugs.
(If you use a 2010 version or older version,then copy and paste everything to it.)

Believe me, I would've, but newer versions are pretty costly. I think the one I planned to use was $60, and I didn't want to make the whole team have to pay that, so I used an older, free one.
RPG Maker 2003 still works really well, though. I'm fixing the problem now, it should be fixed in a couple minutes.

Ok 
Is it done?

Pretty sure 
The only thing remaining is that the mini-boss has a white border around him, which I need to fix.

lol if there is a final boss then you need epic music

EDIT:I GOT AN IDEA! Just reply!

That happened to me: did you change the folder RPG Maker was in before it happened?

Well I have more than one.

1.What if people hack the game?
2.What if people see 'the scratch' part and they think 'What is a Scratch?'
3.What if only a few people get it?
4.What if the game crashes easily?
5.What if someone manages to get the download taken down?!?!?!

1. That's something that could happen with any new game, it wouldn't just happen to mine
2. It's going to be played by people on Scratch, since this topic (and maybe a project) is the only place a download link to the game will be available.
3. Get it? Like only a few people download it? Well, if only a few people download it, I'll just try to advertize more and get more people to download it, but I'm not too worried, considering I have a 12 or 13 person team and nearly 4,000 views, and I'm not even 25% done with it. If you mean get it, like UNDERSTAND it, then everyone will understand it because only Scratchers will play it.
4. Another thing that could happen with any new game, but I doubt it will crash at all, because I've made 2 or 3 projects with RPG Maker 2003 before this, and there haven't been problems.
5. This could ALSO happen with any new game, not only mine. I'm not worried about this happening; Scratch is a pretty nice community. If someone does hack the download somehow, I'll report them to the Scratch team and get them banned.
