When you get so ambitious with a project idea, plan the entire thing with full animations, a whole bunch of original and unique characters, an entire story waiting to be told! You get on, make the title screen... "Eh, i'll work on it some more tomorrow" "Actually on second thought, there's no way im going to make this" *Trash*
@@snifflesfan It'd have to look completely different in order not to cause issues between the two sites, but honestly anything looks better than the Scratch site right now lol
Just a suggestion to everyone here, as they all seem to have a sort of love for Scratch, get Scratch add-ons. It's SOO much better and doesn't require that much setup.
@@MeowieGamer Yes, I use turbo warp a lot. Turbowarp is online and has the scratch addons extension by default. It can make any project run much faster
As someone who is a seasoned veteran on scratch (5 years, not sure that's an achievement) I have experienced every single on of these pains except for my account getting blocked
ATTENTION TO ALL SCRATCH USERS (again): SHIFT+CLICK with Paint colors every pixel with that color into your chosen one. REPEAT, SHIFT+CLICK WITH PAINT COLORS EVERY PIXEL WITH THE COLOR INTO YOUR CHOSEN ONE. this trick has saved me hours
Good golly gracious Scratch veteran here (been there almost 8 years) and I've been animating on Scratch for ages but without layers I've always had to color the previous costume's lineart red and just draw over it, but then I have to go in by hand and get rid of every single red pixel before moving on (and normally I fail to find a few) Finally the struggle can be removed from my life
More pain: accidentally dragging you sprites will testings, accidentally draggin you variables while testing, variable spam, the direction system being stupid and the worst of all, scratch physics
*PAIN* 1: when it creates like 60 clones instead of one 2: actual good projects getting no recognition 3: trying to find a game but there’s thousands of remixes 4: *the d r y featured and explore page*
The 2nd one, i can relate to it Because i made this "Speech engine" and the "No life privilege" game, and it is not getting any views at all which is a huge pain.
CTRL+Z Or you can just right-click and undo the last action (unless you have clicked on another sprite and then came back to the sprite with the deleted script).
if you cant drag a sprite on a blank background, just hold your mouse anywhere but the sprite, and slowly move your mouse to the sprite. That'll help you drag the sprite with a code "when sprite is clicked" go to random position.
Another pain If you use desktop version of scratch 3, for some reason the text input boxes will randomly start to not accept your keyboard anymore and you will need to reload your entire project because of that
Platformers can be quite good, but there are WAAY too many of them. That’s why I backed down from them entirely. I also relate to the pain of no one playing a multiplayer game because several of my major projects revolve around at least two people being involved in the project at once.
Thank you for this…this is all so true…my friend had a really good call of duty nazi zombies top down and it got taken down because someone sad it was really scary and they joined 1week ago
@@channel45853 Well, if it has racist topics, or sensitive topics, then it might get taken down. So the 5 year old thing might've happened, but it might've also been the zombies and guns.
As a Scratcher for almost 10 years, I understand for *some* of the points. 1- That happens too often for me, and I thought it's a me issue. I assume that there's temporary cookies for logging in for a limited time. 2- More like unshared projects, actually. I have over 1000+ unshared projects, that was unshared before. And, here's a note, unshared projects can still be checked if it violates the community guidelines or not. 3- That is normal. I created my first account when I was 9 years old. I don't really bother about it. I used to, though. 4- I got blocked years ago because I added my website on my profile's WIWO. It took a month to solve it. They needed contact of my parents or legal guardian. Get this, they even blocked every account created from the same public IP address, even my sibiling's account. 5- Again, that's normal. Don't know what to explain further. 6- More like "Dragging a sprite by accident, making it bring to front". 7- I don't get the issue with the Explore page. 9, 10- I have 1000+ followers and I don't get messages/interactions often. It's odd to see a large number of Scratchers being inactive nowadays. I can understand why, but it's unknown where they are now. 11, 12- Scratch 1.4 and 2.0 had faster loading and saving speeds, mainly because they run though plugins that are installed on the operating system. 3.0 now uses HTML, which is slower. It may depend on the internet speed & web browser. 13- Untitled-42
My school computers have a moderation extension with a shady amount of permissions. Due to a glitch in it (probably because it's so low-quality), it causes Scratch games to freeze for 4-5 seconds every 5-6 seconds. No idea why, but sometimes the length is shortened to about 1 second, and sometimes it stays frozen for 10 seconds straight. It is downright infuriating to use Scratch like this.
Right now my biggest scratch issue is the SCROLL BAR on the old version of Scratch it just always stayed there But now to scroll down sprites you have to make it appear by hovering the mouse and 99% of the time it won't appear
This also give me a problem for a completely different reason: there is a bug where if the scroll bar appears and moves an icon for viewing the code / sounds / costumes of a sprite when you are trying to copy code to another sprite. Very annoying.
imagine if you made a really cool 3D Minecraft game but while updating it you accidentally deleteed a sprite which renders all the block which has 5000+ blocks
CLICKER GAME WITH NO EFFORT No, seriously, there's basic and bare-bones clicker games, which are acceptable, and then there's the things made with that one Scratch tutorial
People on Comic and Meme creator already do this I think, to separate the projects that took a long time to make and a lot of effort, from the projects that clouds up the recent page, burying the project.
the only thing that i am mildly displeased when doing smth in scratch is that sometimes i do things so big i forget what anything does and i just abandon the project alltogether
*That means your brain memory is extremely weak,* because normal people don't forget what random scrips in their projects do, even if the project has a billion of scripts in it. In fact, the only way to forget what half of the project scripts do is by leaving the project and then coming back after an year (or more than that). And even then, it's very likely that you'll remember most of the things you forgot. The only way to forget so much is by having Alzheimer or by having very little space in your brain.
@@leppycolon3, maybe! Oh, wait! That wouldn't make sense either! But not in the same way as my other assumption. What I'm trying to say is that young people can memorize things much easier than teenagers or old people. In fact, young people barely forget anything. Now, don't ask me what kind of logic is that. All I know is that this has something to do with brain and aging. But still, young people can't forget as much as old people do. So, yeah! The actual reason must be somewhere else.
Pain: when you try to draw your own sprite but it turns out crappy so you would have to get or make it somewhere else and convert it into Scratch. Also those other pains are relatable too.
When either: A. Nobody sees your SDS submission B. When your SDS submission is called inappropriate when it's not or C. When someone says "Wow! This is fantastic! I'll get a mod to submit it right away!" And then 1 YEAR LATER YOUR AWESOME ENDLESS MUFFET GAME THAT YOU SPENT A WHOLE WEEK ON PLANNING AHEAD FOR "COBWEBS" SCRATCHTOBER STILL HAS 3 VIEWS AND ISN'T IN ANY STUDIO. I hate SDS.
@@TheCounter46 Scratch Design Studio, it's sort of like a mini Game Jam. It's held every month and basically they'll give you a certain theme, for example: Space. And you have until the end of the month to make a project related to that theme and then submit it to the mods. There's no direct rewards, but it's a nice way to get a lot of views since your project will be publically shown to the world. And it is loads of fun, but the mods are somewhat strict, so depending on who reviews your project getting it shown can be frustrating sometimes.
I once accidentally deleted a sprite and I had to quickly leave the project I was working on before it autosaved. That was scary too because it was on a movie I was working on and I was literally on the final scene so I would've literally died if I had to go in and recode the whole movie because of that.
@@JgTheUnrealistic Here's the whole playlist of the movies. It was the fourth film. I accidentally deleted Bobby Hill and I had to get him back to save the film lmao. The first movie sucks but they started getting better after that one. ru-vid.com/group/PLOJxfMcSaUji8aZeVlLYkPhiBCrU5PiaP
Pain: you work for a week on a game that gets 3 views while some kid’s horrible looking “animation” of a poorly drawn character that bobs their head slightly gets 1k
Constantly getting banned and your work being hated to where the point you stop and quit and when you say nothing they keep banning you for absolutely nothing, that's the real pain
Pain: When you go to edit a project you are working on but get taken to the error screen since Scratch logged you out. Classes. When all your mail is studio activities (mine practically).
Also when you press "alt" and hold down on an asset in the paint editor to drag and copy it, and your alt key sticks so it just creates more of that asset when you click on it. This once got me stuck for like 5 mins. until I found out what was going on.
Just for an idea for another pain thing. Overlapping objects, you accidentally pressed a huge box that makes it overlap so you have to make the other block back in the front
once i had to fricking leave scratch on overnight to load a undertale fangame and it crashed instantly and tried to reload the page making it load again
scratch addons fixes this (a chrome extension) but when you duplicate code and drag it to a pre-existing code chain, it forces the code to start running.
forgot the part where the scratch team ignores any valid criticism of the basic functionality of the site in favor of making it more colorful and bubbly
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. NO STOPP. I once had a really long project that was an animation, but if I uploaded the song it would for some reason not save, even if I got rid of the audio it still wouldn’t save! It was a 3 minute song and I was at the 2:30 mark but my computer freaking RESTARTED.
