I Mostly Use scratch to make Games, so I'm asking If We can Use scratch

KricketSubmitted3 years ago

I don't know for sure, but the rules say you can use any game engine so I think it counts. Best of luck on the jam.

Scratch ain't a game engine yk, It is one of that WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) programs that act like game engines but they actually aren't.

I think it is an engine and it isnt one

medhu133 years ago

even through scratch isn't a game engine we can make anything with it if we know how to do it and i will prove it

I don't really know. But you should convert it to HTML5 and see if it runs.

I'm pretty sure I once saw a scratch game in a game jam. Dunno what they did but yeah. Also, I really advise you to check out Unity, Unreal, or other game engines! They have a bit more power than scratch and aren't as hard as they look.

Flappy243 years ago(+1)

ok! thanks for the advice!

JellogrammingSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

Godot is a beginner friendly engine and its really good! Its not as complicated as the others.

medhu133 years ago

If you can run it as a stand alone build i think it can be entered into the jam

medhu133 years ago

medhu133 years ago

ya..I think u can use scratch..but it will be better if u use engines like unity, unreal..godot....etc

There is also a visual scripting in both unity and unreal...

A coder3 years ago

but unity is very cpu intensive

i have it but never used it before

unusedname3 years ago

Unity isnt that hard to run i worked on it on my laptop with uhd graphics and it worked fine.

A coder3 years ago(+1)

ur laptop is good my linux laptop is potato

Wolfie3 years ago

Try Urp and the new gpu based particle system. You get pretty decent fps, even on a weak laptop.

A coder3 years ago

ok i will

also im bad at unity

racing moth3 years ago

Most likely no because you cant export games from scratch as far as i know.

You can certainly use scatch.

If you're just starting to learn how to make games I'd suggest taking a look at Godot.

It's a bit easier to get started with (in my opinion) than other engines and it's especially good for 2D games.

gow dot

Hi from the btp3 game jam where you made that masterpiece! Pretty excited for what you will make for this jam!

MrBundles3 years ago

Thanks for the kind words 😄

We'll see if I have time to put something together. Sometimes while I'm prototyping I just can't seem to find an idea that clicks and I don't end up submitting a game.

Good luck with the jam!

MeritcodingSubmitted3 years ago

You can make the game then save it as a webgl

RetroBoi128 the GamedevSubmitted3 years ago

technically it's not a game engine. But you can Make a game engine using scratch

spaceCoderSubmitted3 years ago

I'm pretty sure you can. It says you can use any framework or game engine. You can download the project.

Oxpatch3 years ago

So Xamuil2 use scratch on his game jam so good luck

Coolp3 years ago

don’t think so, because two reasons

1. It’s not really a game engine

2. You can’t submit scratch projects to itch
