Scratch

A though just struck me.

www.scratch.mit.edu/art

How about that 'eh? It won't be "spammed" because it is for art.

Edit: For many scratchers art on scratch seems to be a "problem" I personally have no problem with it and I think that some art is actually quite cool.

But if it is neccessary, the art might have to be seperated.

Either way, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Honestly, the artist came because they couldn't share on other sites because of age restrictions. But I doubt the Scratch Team wants to make an entire other website for sharing art.

Once again:

Have you seen the programmers story:

You go on Scratch, you've worked for weeks to months on your best game yet. You've perfected the scrolling, gravity, sensing and everything. This project is completely glitchless. You upload it, expecting the front page. How could it not get on the front page? Your advertising in your signature, you have some friends, and overall, it's a great project. But to your dismay, as you log on Scratch the next day, there's a poorly animated project of cat's arguing about something that was in fact, "Just a stupid boulder." You look at the comments, they like this stuff??? WHy aren't they praising my project, all I've been receiving is stuff saying things like, "The art needs to be better."

Did you see the hundreds of other good comments you didn't deserve.

Excuse me? Just because we're not great programmers, we don't deserve good comments?

I'm sorta neutral in this fight, yet, I'm still leaning towards the programmers side. Art can be cool and awesome to look at, but really wasn't that made for deviantART(or whatever it's called)? I mean really. There were websites actually MADE for art, unlike Scratch. As a quote I heard in the past, "it's not 'Scratch: Imagine, DRAW, Share'." Then there's the whole RPing problem. I'm trying to stop RPing in the galleries, but it's so fun! X3 But anyway, yeah, I'll eventually stop RPing and my RP buddies will be asking two weeks later why I haven't been RPing lately. Then I'll be on the programmer side completely! ^^

Is that a reason to rejoice?

Not really. I just really like making games, more then all that other stuff.

Look at this:



(Sorry if a kind of scratcher isn't in there)

That is what scratch should be like. Diverse. We don't want anything dominating the other.

Heres my plan again:

MY PLAN:

Gamers Do This:

1. If you see a 'pointless' art project, don't view it if you don't want it top viewed!

2. Look at games, if that is what you want to see.

3. Don't bother artists!

4. Let scratch be diverse   

5. Remember that not everyone is as good a programmer as you.

6. Make games and have fun with it.


Artists Do This:

1. Don't let the gamers get on your nerves.

2. Do what you want on scratch, even if its little programming.

3. Don't bother gamers!

4. Let scratch be diverse 

5. Make art and have fun with it.


Everyone Else Do This:

1. Make your own kind of project and have fun with it.

2. Ignore the drama and have fun.

3. Keep scratch diverse and happy.


And remember guys, no discriminating other kinds of scratchers.

Umm, I don't think you should post the names of the people who said those things.

No, it just says art. Can you read?

Art is a broad category, which includes both interactive art and art alone.

That's ruining the whole point. Art is a part of Scratch. It's a right we have.

You just be glad this is the Scratch community, and not Newgrounds or something.

(I know Newground has art, but if they didn't, I have heard their not the nicest community.)
