Scratch

Some constructive criticism on any of my projects, please?

The surprise projects are kind of difficult to find again after you see it one time on the front page... I think it is a good Idea, but a lot of the projects are not interesting when I click on them. Maybe... you could have something where you can have your own random projects- I don't mean YOU made them I mean, you can customize, like a search for a tag, but you don't have to search through all of the pages that say "game" and "simulation"... but I'm assuming that the surprise projects are random... ? I know that I wish that more people payed attention to me, because I have so many good projects and Ideas. Whereas whenever Bosox397 or someone like that posts a new project, it appears under top viewed. maybe there could be something that was like feature, just someone goes through random projects and selects ones they think are good, and they just appear sub-randomly. I don't know...

I think i came up with the most reliable reason why people do not get there projects viewed.

When a person makes there projects and puts them on the Scratch site people may only see it for the first 3 minutes until it gets off the front page.

A lot people will only view the projects that are posted on the front page or when someone types in a tag.

That leads into the reason why projects do not get viewed as much anymore.

People who are on the front page a lot are popular Scratch users. I use to be one but all my good projects never make it on the front page anymore because no one views them except my friends on Scratch

IF YOU WANT ME TO VIEW YOUR PROJECTS LEAVE A COMMENT AND I WILL ^_^ my tribute

Please view my projects, any or all. They have random projects on the front page but still it's quite hard to get viewed. there are pople who make virtual magazines etc. and advertise but then they need to get viewed so they try to advertise themselves but then those people who advertise them need toget viewed and then it just keeps going therfore a bunch of people ignoreadvertisements which is really kind of useless to take the time to advertise

Unfortunately, until people get good at making projects they are seldom viewed, which may persuade them to stop scratch early

not true.

My projects are never viewed. Sure, they're simple, but they're good. It's just that nobody views them.

same with me, my sig has my paint program and i know that 0.000000000000000000000000000001 out of 10 people click the ad and use paint. ive been on scratch for more than a year. Look:

Club Ghost v.1 (first project)
horrible sprites, what the h--l was wrong with me?

Paint (best project)
...I love it.

ScratchWatch StopWatch (newest project of mine)
9 scripts? ok then but nice stopwatch.

i just wish there was like a featured scratcher that was random each day.

I have a game called chase and within the first few minutes it got one lovit and a comment by stardudes so I thought what if other people like it but no one else has seen it barely

one of the main ways to see someone's project is that when you see one of their projects you click a link to more of their projects. I might look at the projects of users that are friends of my friends or stuff...

I would greatly appreciate it if you came over and viewed my project. Advanced critiques and constructive criticism are very much welcome, as I am pretty much a beginner to SCRATCH and would love to learn more tips and tricks of the trade
