Scratch

Ok, I have been on scratch for almost a year now and I think that the quality of projects has gone way up. Now a lot more of the more complex projects are showing up. Things can only go up from now on 

Im making something right now.

I'm the pretty much the last person creating really good games, I agree with you, and if you thought tanner-FBI was good wait till you see my games, I'm in progress of making a really good mario game, I'm the first user to make a SSSS (side scrolling split screen) game, through combat and warlords, combat includes 6 weapons, 6 stages, and a total of 8 settings, probably the best multiplayer game online or maybe frantic frenzy a co-op/ wave battle game where you fight off tons of enemies through 10 waves, anyway I could go on for awhile, but I suggest you look at my games if you want good games, one more thing
colkadome is a newer user, but has impressive skills and he's made some good games, some things I couldn't think of

i have no doubt that u are the best scratcher

Nor do i. I think if theres one scatcher who actually is still making good games its Dingdong.

I like to think that I still make good projects/games; in fact, my skills are steadily getting better and better. I try to never upload a game or project until it's practically glitch-free offline, and always try to fix it if it doesn't work online. And I guarantee you my next game, currently in the works, will be my best yet =P

As for the whole "art makes a game more popular" thing, I think for a game to be truly good, it has to have good graphics, sound (!), and gameplay. Obviously gameplay is the most important thing, but I've always felt a game looks much more polished and complete with high-quality graphics. I also think that music and SFX are very important to the game, and this is often overlooked.

I am sorry, but the diffrences between flash and scratch go way beyond graphic quality.

Here are some things that flash has over scratch:

sprite duplication
arrays
you can save data
easier to make animations
diffrent variable types
you can move a sprite without lag (all move block have a wait in them)
and the list goes on...

It is obvious that scratch was not developed to be a tool for games development.

Graphics isn't really that much of a problem becuase you can import nice looking pictures into scratch.

many a time have I said this, scratch isn't good, it can't barely process a mini-game

Scratch is good, but good for educating.

Wow, I caused quoting!

       Anyway, what I mean't was that game looked very polished, it only had one glitch and the glitch was in the benifit of the person playing and it was a simple concept. I think the person who made that game drew some of those sprites and I think the graphics and glitch-free gameplay are what made that game the most loved.

      I would not be surprised if I saw it on Armor games.

I totally agree that scratch is going down the drain. It all started with tannerfbi, whose games were fun but easy to make. Archmage, Paddle2see, dingdong, S65,  and TheGardian are still keeping thinks alive.

Aaaah....I'm not as popular as I was back then, I guess things have changed... 
I guess that's just the way things are.

I'm not as popular as I was once either.    Mainly because I shielded all my real projects by a thick layer of art...
I'm so glad I got rid of my popularity. It was really a pain. At least I don't recieve 200 messages a day, about 20 now. 

Scratch has been crashing alot, so i dont work as much.

I have to disagree, it doesnt matter who the person is. A new person who joins scratch could make a project better than any other person, it doesnt matter how long they been on scratch or how good there other projects are. it all goes by what they want to make and how other peoples opinion sees it. I think everyone can make a good project but in my eyes it will be different from others point of view. I have seen plenty of good projects in the past 2 months.

Final Say: I have to disagree
