2.0 Plans?
2.0 is coming and there's some mixed feelings on it.
What will you plan to do after the update? I'll make 1.4 games and upload them onto my website. I'll stay on the forums but I'll barely ever upload any 2.0 things. It's just too hard to use.

Re: 2.0 Plans?
Might stay for making simpler games, or might redownload 1.4 and use it. But 2.0 has more features, like... Not really anything important? I guess cloning is cool, but as scratch progresses, it will be harder to predict the outcomes of more complex features. Like clone priorities, for example.
Tip of the whatever: Don't post in threads older than 2 weeks unless your post will actually be useful.
It's the last day of 1.4! *cries* (quote from NeilWest, rest by me) by the time you read this it probably will be 2.0

Hyperbola-It's still 1.4! I read your siggy!
But yeah. I'll miss 1.4 big time. And be majorly bored for 3 days. I'll be pretty sad, but hey! At least Scratch isn't shutting down forever!

You can use 1.4 to upload to 2.0 by sharing it like you would to the 1.4 site.

Re: 2.0 Plans?
I'm probably going to be using 1.4 still as I always do, but use 2.0 to implement some cool stuff. 
Goodbye 1.4. I'll always remember you and treasure your awesomeness in my heart.
RIP 1.4: 2007-2013 *Sniffles* *Sobs* *Bursts into tears*

Re: 2.0 Plans?
In my time on Scratch, I've noticed that I started spending more time on the forums and less time making projects. However, 2.0 has given me a boost: now I really want to make some new projects! So, it's not really affecting me much. I'll miss 1.4, but the future looks bright for Scratch.
If you want something to do while Scratch is down, check out tbgs.tk! It's the new version of the (closed) Scratch TBGS, run by Scratchers! I'm going to spend most of my time there, anyway.

I completely agree. Now with online cloud variables, projects have become so much better!

Be optimistic!
I'm releasing a paint program when 2.0 is released. I just finished it.

Re: 2.0 Plans?
I'm definitely staying on the forums. I find these forums more entertaining than my own forums.
I might make some projects too when I get some inspiration.

You lived a good four years, Scratch 1.4... May you rest in peace...

Re: 2.0 Plans?
I'll stay on the forums (more sporadically visiting, probably though) and make more projects but still not like rapid output!
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: 2.0 Plans?
I'm probably not gonna put out anything interesting till the downloadable version comes out or I get inspired or something, but I should be active on the forums.

Re: 2.0 Plans?
I'm probably gonna be sticking around a lot during the few days after the update is done, looking for bugs, replying to comments and questions, and so on. Then I'm gonna go back to doing some projects on 2.0, particularly kick-starting my plushie animation that I haven't continued for such a long time! ^^

After the update, it would be worth posting in the forums about which 2.0 features are no very intuitive. We'll still be adding updates when the beta is released.

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Re: 2.0 Plans?
I'll update some of my games to add multiplayer features (if cloud lists come back and restrictions are lifted), and also make new games.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Re: 2.0 Plans?
I'm going to finish a 3-game series (SuperJetPacker+) using 1.4 for sense of completion, then later remake it using 2.0 once I'm more familiar with it.

The main problems for is the fact that Norton hates nearly everything on 2.0 unless I whitelist all the many image hosts, flash servers and stuff that 2.0 uses that 1.4 didn't. Secondly, vector graphics are a nightmare to use. It's not possible to 'paint' unless you want a shape. I feel like 1.4's 16 bit-style graphics were great as you could edit easily and add detail. I know that if I miss out on 2.0 to stick by my good old loyal 1.4 - I'll miss out on the good things on 2.0, like larger storage space and cloud data.
It's really hard to choose.
