The OG description is in the notes and credits. The worse scratch has got, the less I have been interested in this entire website. I no longer have any drive to work on any games here. Even though this account is only around two years old, I had two more accounts. One was hacked and lost to time and the other was banned ( @Levi-osa ). I have no faith in this place now. However, I hope you all get this message. I will upload my unfinished project so you can see what I was doing (Not much). What does this mean for the Basic Series? (For the three people that care) Nothing at all! I plan to take on the challenge of learning other real coding languages. This may mean I eventually delete the main games, but improved versions with better stories have a chance of being made. Goodbye!
Most of us recall 2019 - The year when Scratch is a beautiful nation. Thousands of cheerful Scratchers code, create, collab, and contribute to a prosperous society. Scratch, restated over and over again, is a place for fun and for scratchers to code, learn, interact and collaborate with one another. Sadly, it has been a disgusting, fame-filled hideout since 2020. It all started in the second half of the year when rumours spread that some fellow scratchers started copying without permission, resharing deliberately, even impersonating others. The severity of the issue of generic games had only skyrocketed, despite the effort devoted by lots of kind scratchers. The Explore trending page became a place only for generic platformers and animations. Then things started getting even more disastrous. For the first time ever, foul language appeared on Scratch. F4F was minted. Feedback became an advertising strategy. Spam occurred. Collabs failed. Famous and potential Scratchers abandoned the website. True talented projects were deserted. A project which only contained a square, grass and spikes could get up to 5000 loves. A platformer, an exact copy of others and only colours were changed, got on trending. Is this what we are looking for? I am writing not to spread hate, but to urge the Scratch community to Stop generic. Stop hate. Stop advertising. Stop fame. Start coding. I sincerely hope we can create a way better future. For us. For Scratch. Spread this message with the best you can do by adding this to related studios, etc.
