Scratch for no reason: *purple seems like a good starter color*

One way to include an intro, is to have it be no longer than 3 seconds. And even better is if you make it only show up the first time you click the green flag. That is done by having a variable called "seen intro". When green flag clicked, check if the variable is = to 0. If it's 0, then show the intro. After the intro is finished, set the variable to 1. If you click the green flag and "seen" intro is not 0, then just go onto the game. One more thing, make sure to save the project with the variable set to 0, or else it will never show the intro. Doing all that allows you to use an intro, and the player won't get annoyed every time they restart.

I share my projects unfinished and finish them, to build the tension for the finished game.

For the highscore, DO NOT put the “show variable ☁️highscore” in the “If score > ☁️highscore” because then you only see the highscore if you got the highscore.

Timestamps :))) 0:03 Make a thumbnail 2:17 Use notes&credits for your description 2:45 add tags 2:59 add a high score variable 4:35 don't add an intro >:(((( 5:02 tags don't always work

#2: *use every single tag imaginable* #5: *don't use any tags at all*

Instructions unclear, I still have no idea how make a Crafting Table.

#6 (probably the most important one) use an old project that's been aging in your unshared for months. scratch projects need to be indexed into the system before they're able appear on trending or the search results. projects can be indexed while unshared though, so once you finish your game, download the file and upload it into an unshared project with an old url. check the trending tab and see which project has the highest url to know if you're project has been indexed yet.

Cool way to make a title for your thumbnail: add the title with no outline, then copy so that you have 2 text in the same spot. Select one of them, add an outline then make it appear behind the text with no outline. It looks very cool but it's weird when you have to change it. Works with sprites too if you want a sticker efect. Sorry for bad explaining, I'm not very good at English

For the thumbnail you can simply do that : (When 🏴clicked) Put the effect ghost at 100 If you remove the "repeat forever" block, it may increade fps on wear devices

BROOO thankyou so much, this really helped and the tutorial was really easy to use as well :)

your system for thumbnails is better than the one that i used! my system used 4 blocks that you can stack and two events, yours uses 3 stackable blocks and 1 event! Thank you!

OMG this helped so much! thanks.

Thankyou so much for the tips.

Thank you!

THX love u for helping me with the thumbnail bro really appreciate it

Im 44th on trending games rn, physics engine. But these are some good tips

highscore system is the simpliest one a scratch user would think!

this editing is so good holy crap

Also in scratch, if there isn't a Cloud variable option for your variables, you are NEW SCRATCHER, so wait a month or two and register as a Scratcher Edit: it's only 2-3 weeks to register...

I never thought of the script in 2:02 for the thumbnail. Thanks for the helpful video!

can you do a tutorial for converting cloud variables from numbers to letters? for example an encoding method could be A = 01, B = 02 and so on, so HAT would be saved in the cloud variable as 080120, then it would be set to HAT when decoded

My game was really close to be featured in ur video. It was on tending #12 in games. LOL

0:03 what is that "subscribe to Jackson academy" doing in the mail icon?

Intros are good, as long as they are skippable. Also, please for the love of god don't overtag it. It's just going to make me hate you more if you tag something that's not even remotely loud. The best advice I can give is don't be afraid to ask for help. For example, I'm a coder and a musician, but my art is literally just circles. On the other hand, I have friends who love art but struggle with code and songs. So they'll teach me how to draw an oval and i'll show them why glide blocks deserve to die.

To touch up stuff in the thumbnail one: you can also include the "brightness effect: (4)"

One of the most annoying things about Scratch, is when you update your game, each individual change is live. When you make changes, there should be an “Update” Button that applies all changes that you’ve made to the Public Version. Basically, you go into your Project, make changes, press “Update”, then done. When you exit the Project before pressing update, you will still have the update option the next time you go on it, it will save the changes. When you go onto your Project, it won’t show the updated changes until you go into the code and back, unless you press the “Update” Button, and then the changes will be Public. I think there’s a workaround by downloading the Project, then loading the updated version onto the Project after, but it’s annoying, it should just be a Scratch Feature.

A very good video!!!!! Thank you.

Thank you so much

I can't do the thing where you make a variable a cloud variable thingy. How can i do it? Also how can I make it where if you miss a normal speed apple (you have to catch them in my game) you die? Also this was a good video!

THE EXPLORE PAGE OMG YES *cri*

love the mr bean remix in the background

1:51 (How to make thumbnail) All you have to do is, "when green flag clicked, set ghost effect to 100".

Im lucky I found this before day before yesterday

Actually having a good panzoid intro can't do you any harm if you clearly state how to skip it

If you need to just press crtl a To select all Sizing a new circle with shift makes it more accurate

If you really want an intro, make sure there is a skip button, and state it in the intro, don't say it only in the description, write a text on screen: "S for Skip" Until the intro finishes! Great way for you to get your intro but not disturb the potential likes!!

love the background song

You made the thumbnail look so easy!

titles screens are also important

$:46 Why can't you add a keypress or button to skip the intro? That would allow players that played it for the first time to see your intro and returning players could easily skip it. You tell them what key to press AFTER they complete the first objective in your game.

What if you have the rays backdrop for 1.?

that thumbnail for this video is hell on scratch I could not handle that many messages.

thank you

❤ thanks for the help ❤

Thank you

5:53 yore big brain

The Mr bean music in the background do be fire 🔥

JACKSON ACADEMY: number three THE SCREEN: *number four*

All i do for an intro is just have my logo flash up on a black screen while a sound effect relating to the game plays

How do I make this work with variables?

0:18 - I know how to do it from the project page. It can even be animated!

Thanks.

There is a much easier way to do the coding for number 1! You can just put when green flag shown then put hide then just save the project!!

whats your font that you used in your eiditing

Bro I’m fr making KZfaq right now, you just saved my life 😮‍💨

working fine thank you

Most importantly, make it playable. If there is nothing to play or do in the game that isn't mildly interesting or replayable. The game will probably flop.

i can do that this too. green flag pressed set [ghost] effect to (100) (drag and go to the front)

How do I get cloud variables

I want this ping pong game in scratch

Oh look its Captain fluffy :D

purple is the worst default color but luckliy im colorblind

I like how you used inspect source to change the message number to "Subscribe to Jackson Academy!"|

This is very helpful

I maked a game named "Ticket Clicker" but after some days, Scratch banned the game. Why? Can someone explain it?

Hey1 I love intros! In fact, my intro is so simple!

1:09 THE CAPTIONS FOR THIS 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

broooooooo thankss

OH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH

Bro they have a mr bean trap music in background

I dont have the cloud variable (stored on server) what should i do??

Pls change “you died” to “you suck”. Like u always do when u do the challange

is that the animated mr bean theme tne in the background?

What is that clip at 2:45?

"K"- Everyones dad while texting

When I did the thumbnail, the thumbnail replaced my game over sprite. What should I do?

Title: 5 things to do before sharing Thumbnail: DONT SHARE Me: what the

And make it very saturated and bright, for some reason a lot of platformers do that

Here's my position. 1. Mostly Agree. Thumbnails are important for bigger projects that one spent more time on, but it might not make much of a difference for smaller projects. 2. Disagree. I don't see the necessity to unify Instructions with Notes and Credits. It's just a much bigger wall of text that might be MORE difficult for some users to parse. 3. Strongly disagree. This one is my personal Scratch politics, but I do not believe in tag salad. If one is so desperate for attention that one would tag every word they can think of, one's project is probably not that good. 4. Agree. Although not super relevant to my projects, adding a high score variable (provided that unlimited scoring exists) usually improves competition anew replayability. 5. Strongly agree. I don't know why such long intros even exist on a platform like Scratch. Nobody cares who the creator is, the vast majority users just want to play a good game.

is that the mr bean intro music remix on the backgrounf?

I do all of this, but I'm still not gaining any views. What should I do?

Him using Mr bean music lol

You dont need a forever loop for the thumbnail one

i cant use cloud variables and idk why

And if i put a tag called #all?

How do i make the variables hide when the thumbnail comes

I can agree that intros are annoying once I was playing a game and I had to wait through a 30 seconds intro

W thumbnail

1:51 You don't actually need a forever loop

Wow i never new this🙂

When's airplane shooter ep 3? Or zombie shooter season 2 episode 2 (first btw)

Can you make a video addressing how to make your game NOT automatically update? If you already have one can you give me a link. And if it isn't possible then just say it please, thank you :)

mr bean drip

where do you see the cloud data history? do you need some kind of extension to do that?

2:45 jumpscare

Yeah sure add a score when im making an animation

how to make a cloud? it dosent work on me

5:00 - I just make my intro and add an X button. You can watch the intro OR just skip it.

With Scratch Addons, you can literally set the thumbnail
