I made realistic creepy legs with IK | Scratch Devlog #1

[@griffpatch]

Hello Fellow Scratchers - What do you think of this project so far? - Please LIKE 👍the video if you want to see more, and DO COMMENT and share your ideas about what this game could be! I'm excited to share the best ideas in my videos and hopefully they will make their way into the final game released on Scratch - Woohoo!

[@dog_2]

Hi griffpatch i love your tutorials

[@ZainTheMan]

Veery cool and cute

[@coder1233]

Love your voice and videos

[@pietrosmusi6348]

You should make a game where you're a spider hidden in a wall and you need to move around to avoid pesticides

[@Wall_nut77]

Spooder cat lol

[@rgc-exists]

Despite moving on from scratch I still watch griffpatch videos sometimes because I still find it interesting all the ways he finds to do CRAZY things in such a limited game engine.

[@theguythatcodes]

same, also hi rgc

[@trentenroberts2748]

Rainworld uses a technique where the gravity that's affecting the body gets reduced for every limb holding onto a wall. I think this would be an awesome technique for this, as your spider would struggle to hold themselves up with just 1 leg

[@marioman98]

lol I had that idea when i made mine without knowing any other games did that.

[@Fail-harold]

Thats actually pretty smart, i never thought about how rain world handles that

This is crazy! How easy you make Inverse Kinematics look I love these kind of Devlog Videos, keep them going! Also, that would be a truely awesome collab, and I think the whole Scratch community would benefit from it.

[@ItzaLukkeri]

I love how you go more into the theory behind the code rather than the blocks themself, this makes these videos not only interesting/useful for people using Scratch but for basically any programmers

[@albator8159]

This is a really cool concept ! sometimes I like to get ideas from your scratch projects and make it with other programming languages. Please keep going with this one !

[@thetechpanda6151]

I really can’t wait for this! You could code a game that scrolls upwards and there are blocks you have to climb through or dodge and the higher u climb the more points u get but there is a timer and u have to get as many points as possible during the limit

[@griffpatch]

Cool idea!

[@Richard_Nixon-mr6rq]

Hmm

[@Darkstar327]

deja vu

[@XxMugglesAndMagicxX]

The fact that he can do this with just his head is crazy, IT SEEMS SO HARD-

[@Headaches_hurt]

griffpatch doesnt always come up with this stuff what i think is truly impressive is how he was able to translate things from wikipedia it into sratch code, i tried doing inverse kinematics more than a year ago and failed miserably. The only time i could succesfully do something like that was making an isometric tile engine

[@AyaanShahbashUddin]

i have no possible clue how you come up with this also, i love the editing!

[@toxinite7986]

Add pathfinding AI and make it a horror game! The idea would be to run from these large spiders that would actively search for you. I reckon it would be great

[@Wungle_bungle123]

What I think would be AMAZING would be to have ur game turn into a puzzle adventure game. To simplify my idea, you could have spider cat navigating a room filled with obstacles and enemies. Then the player would need to collect items (say a key) to complete the puzzle. Once said puzzle is complete, a door would open and lead to the next level. I first discovered you from papercraft on scratch and I love your content!

[@Wungle_bungle123]

OMG A HEART THANK YOU SO MUCH GRIFFPATCH 💙💙💙💙💙

[@FeniteFr]

I love this kind of tutorials 🔥 i like when you explain less and just speed build blocs, because you do more in one episode :) (But I also think that for beginners it's less good soooo...)

[@Mazin0192]

this isnt a tutorial, its a devlog, which doesnt show everything needed to make the project

This is a dev log, not a tutorial. That means it shows the process he used for it, but not how to do it.

I love this style of video. I usually don't actually follow the tutorial videos, I just watch them because im curious how you implement various mechanics. So this type of video is perfect!

[@coder1233]

Love your sound and videos griffpatch. Love your channel.

[@LsAdventurer]

This certainly does have huge potential! I think there could be different levels you have to play through, moving around just like you do here, with (sometimes deadly) obstacles and stuff!

[@theneonpreston]

Something that you could add is make sider-cat shoot a web that could grab on to objects, enemies, or function as a grappling hook.

[@icotwilight]

I have tolove you griffpatch, I was litteraly just experimenting with IK in python thanks to my love of rain world and low and behold you put out one of your amazing, easy to follow tutorials.

[@ulisescdp6365]

You make it look so easy! I would like to see a complete video of the frustration that entails programming haha

[@AirseedStuff]

That is such a smart way to code the legs! A collab with CrystalKeeper1 is so awesome, since they were also the one to add more levels to your geometry dash port!

[@Rory432]

This is the perfect concept for a game that would randomly become popular like spider simulator or something!

[@theoldlaser]

I moved on a while back to more complex coding languages, but it's really interesting to see what you're cooking up in Scratch, and teaching to us all - keep up the good work! I'd like to see a video on the process you go through while you make a game, especially brainstorming ideas and trying them out, and how you do so. - subscriber since 21k subs

"It's just some simple trigonometry" - Griffpatch This is really cool! Excited to see how this series will progress

[@SombreroMan716]

Heh, I mean… it IS really just simple trig tho…

[@serendipity-tilde]

I mean, it is. You should see advanced trig 0-0. Honestly though, trigonometry in schools is made to be much harder than it is with stuff like sohcahtoa. Understanding it as right triangles on a unit circle makes it so much easier to know *when* to use trig.

[@AB39]

this was really cool to watch, my eyes might have well been glued to the screen i think there might be some interesting things to be done with IK, and also this thing i heard about called FK (Forward Kinematics)

[@spyke5537]

This could be one of the most atmospheric games on scratch if you turned this into a game! cant wait. :D

Its so Cool! I have a Idea make "Spooder Cat" do a dance when they finish the level and name it "Spooder Cat Dance".

@@tauon_ Done!

[@Void1734]

Nice! For some reason, I had this idea where if the spider goes too far away from a platform and all the legs detach from the platform, if they're no other platforms for the spider to grab onto, they would just fall to the ground. I even applied the physics in the project and all that's left is collisions and smooth leg movement. This makes me excited for the 2nd devlog!

[@kingcuberslayer7]

Me too!

[@Skraftzz]

I literally did something similar to this for my Computer Science Final Project in scratch. Which I had this back then.

[@Salt_Enjoyer]

You could make a platformer-type (I mean that it can climb walls, but can't jump, and also it should struggle to hold up with just one leg). The spider can't see anything in the dark. However, it can see where its own limbs are to detect its enviroment. There is moving light in some places. While the light is in a location, the spider can see it, but must not go into it. For difficulty, you could probably add something like moving enemies, that the spider also can't see in the dark and has to avoid (these enemies actually see in the dark and follow the spider once they notice it). If you want to get rid of an enemy following you, you have to go through a cobweb or get out of its reach. Only your character can go through cobwebs. I might edit this comment to add more stuff.

[@7LN7LN7]

Griffpatch sounds like the teacher we all wanted

[@yz2949]

hi, i tried to follow this devlog to test it out myself despite it being so fast and stuff being added offscreen, but at the cloning legs part, no matter what i did it would still only show 1 leg, i don't know how to fix it. maybe there is something you didnt show or if you know the problem? Edit, i found out the problem but i cant find any solution, it appears the clones that are being made are not (?) following the search definition or me setting forever go to player, and are instead just staying in the initial place where it was cloned, seemingly not drawing any legs. Please help griffpatch

[@TheAtomicDoggo]

this is so cool! can't wait for the tutorial, it can be put to very good use

[@That1Knife]

This is amazing! The sprite animation reminds me of something kind of like rain world or another game similar to that. I think it would be really cool to do something like that!

[@diegoseoane9342]

Awesome! You could make a tutorial for a boss in a new episode of the platformer (the one you added online), this could be it! Imagine, A SPIDER BOSS, maybe it could lose it legs. I don't really know how many possiblities can offer these cool scripts, but you really work hard griffpatch! 😸

"I made realistic creepy legs" has got to be one of the most funniest names you've chosen this year, Griff.

[@SombreroMan716]

It feels so good actually being able to understand the math after having just learned trig functions. Thanks for explaining it so well Griffpatch!

[@beckybryan4362]

Griffpatch why do you have to be so darn good at editing! you got out of the costume editor before I could even see how big the leg is

[@wavaction8862]

I got an idea for the game! Basically, it will be a sort of scrolling game where you need to climb around, there will be 3 types of dangerous obstacles : The leg killable : It can destroys the player if the legs touch it, however the body is safe. Body Killable : Same thing as the leg killable but now the body isn't safe but the legs can still touch it. The killable : It destroys anything it touches. The goal is to maybe catch keys (which will put in use the leg killable and the body killable to like be strategic how to get a dangerously placed key) and the keys will help to open a door to go in next level. Also try to add bosses, you make amazing ones! (Sorry for bad grammar, english is not my primary language. Also keep up the good work griffpatch!)

[@blueboytube]

So I don’t know how ambitious you want to go with this project but seeing the game art example kind of reminded me of Ori (somehow even though the styles don’t look that much alike) and I thought the escape sequences where you dodge some giant creature are always really fun so that kind of gameplay with the artstyle of the shown example would be quite a big deal but an insanely nice project

[@captainsprinkles6557]

I think a cool idea is you're in a house(or anywhere really), and the main goal of the game is to make a web, hunt prey down, take them back to your web, or set up traps. Could be a survival game with interesting mechanics, or a horror game where *you're* the terrifying spider monster.

[@bigmoneybusiness34]

you should make more of these devlog videos, its nice to just watch the process 👍

[@pbjellysand]

Maybe it could be a game about how most people are afraid of spiders, so the Spider-cat will have to avoid them while climbing on pots and bowls in the kitchen and stuff like that

[@Elitherich]

I think that a cool game idea would be where the spooder cat has to escape the house without being squashed by the humans or any other enemies!

[@mohammedabdulraheem628]

[@paths7969]

i never thought ik in scratch would be so easy, at least you make it look easy. this def feels like the perfect movement for a puzzle game (i just finished playing the portal games) perhaps a tower defense ish game where you have to make a web with obstacles? im not sure but anything you come up with will likely blow me away XD

[@Rustdum]

anyone else notice the fact that he has over 3 million notifications on scratch

[@star80doessdastuff]

this could be a chase game with a combination of one of your videos. Have scratch-spider-thing chase you in a cave while you collect apples for him to munch on in the end so you can escape scot free!! preferably 8. Scratchy could also be afraid of your flashlight, so he will try to sneak up on you, so you could flash him! apples could also replenish your battery as well.

[@ethnissdum]

I would LOVE a collab between you and CrystalKeeper!! The spider cat looks SOOO cool!!

[@killianpgt]

It's amazing to make a complicated thing simple with simple calculations

[@mannygamer29]

stay in school, kids. It helps you learn maths for your newest scratch project ❤

[@thatonecabridog]

I feel like it'd be really cool if spiderwebs were involved in some way - maybe you could give the spider a limited amount of silk it could construct a cobweb with, then send some bugs flying in to see how many that web can catch?

[@MemesbroOnScratch]

Idea: Spider Maze Plot: Scratch Cat has found something wierd, but upon touching it, he becomes a spider! Your job is to navigate Scratch Spider through a series of scrolling mazes, dodging enemies trying to stall your progress, until you reach the end, and Scratch Cat is back to their (I am not assuming genders, or I will get hunted down) normal self! Other: - Maybe a selection of music and a menu that allows people to listen to that music - A speedrun timer toggle feature. Some people don't want to speedrun the game and just want to enjoy it for what it is. - A Story mode (hence the plot) and a seperate level select feature. Maybe the stuff labelled under other is a little too much to ask? Maybe they are not a challenge?

[@MemesbroOnScratch]

And also when I reply, I have a new idea to add

[@hheroiscool]

[@quipidil5176]

Now all we need is a spider web pen generator tutorial to make backpacable into this. The spider web could attach and generate on the walls.

[@Tedification]

This looks great! In real life, I think spiders can make sticky or non-sticky strings of webs. what about a sort of puzzle game where you have to shoot webs to walk on and/or go through to get to the flies or avoid the wasps? (where you can only walk on the non sticky webs, but you can build more webs on either types, and you catch flies only on the sticky ones.) I am also very exited by the idea of a collab with CrystalKeeper7, and am thinking of a vibe akin to Rainworld. Perhaps there would be a large scrolling map that you have to get around that is filled with many creatures and bugs, (some friendly, some enemies and some food) but you can't see very far. Instead, you must rely on the subtle movements of the webs made my other creatures (detectable by the web's coloring). (eg. if there is an enemy to the right, then the webs to the right of your spider will quiver red, but if it's food, they'll quiver blue.) I have so many ideas, I might make my own game! XD

[@Tedification]

also, Rainworld has a really cool AI ecosystem that I would LOVE to know how to do!

[@ndyah7836]

This actually helped me make an inverse kinematics knee for a walking pen animation

[@Rickrolledhaha]

Griffpatch: it's simple math. Me: visible confusion

[@erykmekwinski1220]

you could make a variety of bugs and make it so on every level you'd get assigned a bug and you'd have to platform to get the bug you could also make some bugs dangerous so you have to avoid them.

[@cosmocode75]

Make a platformer where you have to make net systems to complete levels and avoid danger! I also have an idea that the spider could have a cute face with little eyes on it 😃
