This is evidence that griffpatch is gonna REALLY help out with many, many careers. Me and my buddy are working on a full game, and if it wasnt for you, i wouldnt be here 😂

[@Twinblade1]

Griffpatch is the best scratcher....like if you agree ❤❤

[@rubenvanderark4960]

I imagine some kind of game where you start at a very powerful state, you beat all sorts of different boss battles, and each time you do, you *lose* a part of your gear, until you beat the "first" boss with no more gear and can navigate to the "starting area", where you win

Hey Griffpatch, for my rpg I’m making I went on your joystick video since I’m mobile and done everything it said and I couldn’t move or even spin, the only thing I got working was the stick X and Stick Y numbers Moving up and down

[@gracelynnw.3137]

I loved making project for this game jam. and i also loved how it made me more open on making a project. I loved making a game where you control a zombie horde is exactly what it is. THANK YOU!!

[@griffpatch]

Thank so much for taking part - your project was great!

[@gracelynnw.3137]

@@griffpatch Thank you I'm all ready starting my project for the next jam! I'm ready to get scratching!

[@kingkev69]

Is there a studio with every project that was submitted to the game jam? I want to take a closer look, as they seem very interesting.

[@user-vl9zq9qd7v]

Griffpatch litterly does everything he can to help grow scratch, and make it more fun, thanks to you griffpatch.

[@assassin04036]

I did not know how to join 😢 + Is the academy paid?

[@APPLP1E]

I've stopped using Scratch ever since I got banned but watching your videos gives me a splash of nostalgia. Love some of the games here, let these people cook 🔥

[@truestbluu]

why'd you get banned

[@APPLP1E]

Too many comment mutes. And most of the times it was unintentional. For example, I pretended to beatbox but accidentally wrote "btch" Or I got muted for saying antidepressant and goofy ahh Or for saying "Kim Jong Un dies" which triggered a bug in the censor system Of course, I also got muted rightfully sometimes, but it's still ridiculous

[@Crazy_KidMC]

I can't even describe your work in many words just one... Wow!

[@assassin04036]

Hello griffpatch, I really like your explanations on KZbin I have a question: Will you make more games and explain how to make them on KZbin? (I did not know how to participate in the academy, and if it is paid, I will never be able to participate, unfortunately)

[@jarPlays11]

Never say never

[@assassin04036]

I did not understand what you mean well (I do not speak English well). If your intention is to join the academy, if it is paid, I will not be able to subscribe. +I am creating some projects to learn more, but in reality I want to learn on the godot engine and the gdscript language, but I will not leave Scratch, of course. (I can write some code in Python as well)

[@thijmencornelissen8722]

Yay, I won for mozt unique project! I do wonder, is there a way to import over 300 costumes in scratch more efficiently? The game wouldn't load on my school iPad... XD

[@griffpatch]

Yeah it's a real problem!

[@portgasddonut777]

Congratulations to all winners 🏆

[@griffpatch]

Woo hoo!!!! :D - Welcome

[@NoobDreams142]

I never know how to make the platform gravity stuff so I gave up making platformers and scratch. Now I only use it when we have nothing to do in lessons and teacher let us to use. It still know how to code because it is just kinda a big part in my life

[@fredbear81993]

No peeking is actually a reverse concept of some of the Mario levels. In the original ones, you were meant to LOOK at the ghosts to defeat them. Having it so you can't look at the ghosts makes for a really fun and cool game concept.

[@user-vs4hy4vz2l]

Finally you posted! This really maked my day😊

[@sparklezzsparkles]

Even though I’m not that active on scratch, I still love watching your videos! ❤

[@lukes2030]

Hi griffpatch! I loved that cloud multiplayer series that you made ☺️, but i think it could have another episode. Because you spoke it's possible make a 10+ players cloud game, and idk how to do it, but i would love to make one with your knowledge. If you're reading this, would it be possible to be taught for us? Pls 🙏🏻

[@griffpatch]

I've made it already - It's called cloud MMO :) - The tutorials are on my channel

[@lukes2030]

@@griffpatch ok, but i mean that ik how to make a cloud game, BUT idk how to make one with more than 8-10 players. I saw you spoke It's possible to make one, like in you Minecrafth-ish MMO . I apologie for my explanation, i didnt want to make you understand that in another way (If you see an mistake on my phrase, im sorry, english is not my first language)

[@pearpear4319]

These projects are really good! I’m always shocked by what things the scratch community can come up with 😃

[@TodokuEN]

Hi Griffpatch, I'm just gonna ask, but there's a mod of Scratch and TurboWarp called PenguinMod. Does PenguinMod projects count in scratch game jams?

[@griffpatch]

It can't in my current game jams because I need the projects to run in native Scratch for everyone to play!

[@TodokuEN]

@@griffpatch Oh, alright then, I'll try to port most of my PenguinMod projects to Scratch as much as I can :D (I'm also working on a recreation of Microsoft Windows 7)

@griffpatch You name lots of game jams so can you also tell people who are not in your academy about them and allow them to post projects too? 😉🐱

[@DINOCLAYFILMS]

I have question, is there anyway to code a save/load without using save code? I mean the game save the progress by itself.

[@griffpatch]

There used to be when cloud variables were a log bigger. Now there isn't, at least for the time being
