I'm a unity dev but started with scratch 10 years ago lol. because of this video I thought about trying to remake my most ambitious scratch project but messing around in the editor for a few minutes made me realize just how much easier it is to code once you've practiced with it for a bit lol
This brought back so many memories from computer class in middle school. I remember, the hardest part about using Scratch isn't programming anything (at least in my experience,) it's finding what you need.
Let’s go! I can already feel the pain radiating from the mere idea of making a turn-based game on Scratch. Jokes aside, you really did an amazing job with everything-especially considering how much of a pain Scratch can be.
This takes me all the way back to 3rd grade when dad bought me a book about making games in Scratch and Python, which pretty much started my game dev journey Crazy to think there's still a Scratch account out there somewhere with all my crappy projects from primary school that is almost 10 years old
The heal will eventually deal damage to the enemy when they try to use it. Also, I think the revive isn't a one-time thing. It keeps reviving, even after the button is gone.
Just seeing your passion for games is honestly always the most motivating thing ever, thank you Your videos never fail to inspire me to get out there and create cool shit
Man I can relate to this video, I was making scratch games since I was a kid lmao. I unironically tried making a full on RPG in it about 2 years ago and decided it was so painful that I moved to RPG Maker, which after 2 years and a nearly finished game (that was unable to fulfil quite a number of mechanics I'd have liked), I've concluded that Game Maker 2 is my next best step. Amazing video!
Also posted this on the game itself but... Nice work! I just beat it barely... I did break the buttons though. Also if the heal runs out on her side she starts healing for negative points lol! I know it was just fun and you did it in scratch, I don't envy you there. It's actually inspired me to get back into coding. I'm an IT major who doesn't touch code very much but using game maker sounds fun, so I might give it a whirl. Thank you for being awesome and a great inspiration!
10 years from now: "I finally finished my turn based combat game made in Scratch! It has 3D graphics, 900 hours of voiceovers and 1 million line of dialogue... and Grumpy Blobguy is back!"
I'm an RPG enthusiast and I think the action swap mechanic is lowkey genius! Can't wait to see a full game based on it! Also can't wait for major companies to steal it and implement it as a microtransaction 30 years from now!
Nice vid :) As a suggestion (bear with me, I have no idea what scratch does or does not have but since you said you'll move into an actual engine I guess it can work). You could make the buttons into an immutable class which holds 4 "actions" and each time you want to swap, you swap with a new list of 4 actions and only on UI layer you do the thing where it moves and each button then could move into their respective order in the list of actions they now have. this way you will always make sure you will have 4 actions and that the buttons never overlap again.
yay another Juniper video. Scratch seems to be a real nice engine to work with. Loved the idea about your game and hope ya expand on it sometime. I have entered my own gamedev learning journey recently with Godot right now. I also have Game Maker as my secondary option for reserve as well. Can't go wrong with having options.
Dude...scratch is like..cooking with fire, out in the wilderness. Then you use unity or unreal or even pygame, and it feels like "I'll mever take you for granted ever again" The fact that out of everything, turned based in scratch was the choice...true masochism
I still use scratch to this day... well, kind of. I use Turbowarp, which is honestly a lot more capable! For example: 7:00 Hate those orange box variables? There's an extension to fully customise them, and an extension to draw text. You did a great job with this project, well done :3
Scratch is such an OG program, I used it years ago and it honestly got me into wanting to be a game dev as my future career. Even now I like to drag blocks around with Unreal's blueprints haha Unfortunately my scratch account got auto deleted cuz i didnt log in for years :(
Great video!

I remember using scratch in middle school. They had an "hour or code" program based around it. I remember getting turned off by the visuals because it looked silly. I wish I hadn't. There's a ton of fundamental building blocks I could have built. Now who's looking silly 🥲
Check out opr.as/GM-JuniperDev to download GameMaker, and visit scratch.mit.edu/projects/1090600465 to play Swapiper and probably break it!

Scratch isnt a bad game engine tbh when you get the hang of it its very easy
im literally making a game engine on scratch rn
Yeah, it’s honestly a great tool for beginners. It’s very easy to learn and a lot of the skills carry over to actual game engines
How can you make a less that or equal to sign

4:11 "there are no lists" with the button "make a list" on the down left corner got me laughin for real 💀

I love this style of video along with your game design tip ones. 10/10 youtuber, you have inspired me to chase my dream to become a dev!

I've been on scratch for like 7 years. So cool to see people still make tutorials for this stuff. Super cool video.
Sick! I’d love to see this idea fleshed out more

You're kicking out good stuff, and really quickly. Nice job! You're really giving off J1mmy vibes.
Yo that's so cool you should make a full game
I loveee ur art and game style!!! another amazing video as usuallll
Never learned how to code ands not interested to, but from 13 years old to 26, Scratch still hit the spot when I want to make a silly little game.

I could see this being a successful game. Especially with things like buckshot roulette being as popular as it is.

oh is that what happens.. I was trying to find my old one but couldn't
..."A limit to what these blocks can handle emotionally as you fondle them" 🤔
Seems like someone injected the Omori OST into their veins :D
(Nice video, never heard of Scratch before)
My guy, we literally have tons of tutorials to make custom numbers and stuff like that.
4:44 yo sick transition
The bug either gets fixed or lives long enough to become a feature
there is a extension for scratch that makes it a lot better called turbowarp and mixes alot of scratches problems
This inspired me to become a Scratcher.
Great video!

Well, it was a brutal fight and I cut it real close, but I won... but at what cost. That ending will haunt me.
7:56 bro how 😭 anyways great video
Cool. Now write it in assembly.
Its easier than its ever been to get started making a game. But probably the hardest its ever been to sell a game.
Note that making alot of options are hard on scratch since you have very limited options since almost all of the options are useless

0:46 nah that's criminal
super fun
I remember using this at school and how much of a pain it was to use. Granted you could make some cool games with it, but it just wasn't for me.

are you telling me a whole school class just does scratch? LMAO
@@Abrahamlnx Yes
I was not expecting that ending, wth.
(The ending to the game not the video)
Swapiper is unkillable? They used their revive, but even though it's gone it might still be active, as they keep healing back to 15
I can't imagine how many people remixed it just to steal it.
