Mine's doing great, more than halfway done, and i started 2 days ago(i'm making a FNAF-Style game with a unique mechanic revolving around the two buttons theme)
that still doesn't really fit the theme, calm before the storm is a phrase, you can take it literally, but that still doesn't incorporate calmness, along with it just not tying into gameplay, i would either tie the story into the gameplay, or just add something else to the gameplay.
yes, people have done that, but 90% of people can't do that, only experienced scratchers, its too much effort for the end result, if you're planning on doing 3d it's generally better to use a 3d engine.
I agree with the toggle button, I'm planning on expanding the game and changing that: now, about the shift button, I am not 100% sure scratch even supports shift click, but I'll check it out.
It's funny, i actually am making a game for the jam where there is a system where only some enemies can be damaged by spells, and the main character is a wizard. besides that it's very different, though.
