[@leanne43678]

I wish I could join. I have always loved your projects. Also, Can I ask you a question?

[@MinecrafterJoe]

Are the tutorial vids for youtube done?

[@user-kl1yi6vo6s]

Think so

[@acechesterfernandez4770]

Hey griffpatch I really liked your scratch getting over it it took 5:43 minutes it was really fun but really rageful I enjoyed it

[@-jxvi]

This video differs from the ones you usually make, and I actually really like it. Scratch is where I learned to code, but in recent years I've moved to using game editors like Unreal Engine and Unity because they have a lot more capabilities. However, I still have a soft spot for Scratch. These videos, tutorials, and now "Game Jams" do a really good job of inspiring people and teaching people how to code, especially when you add a sense of friendly competition when reviewing them. When looking at these projects, it even makes me want to get back in Scratch and start making stuff. Generally, I think that all of this is really cool.

[@jarPlays11]

cool

[@ImLoLGamer1002]

Will there be any more tutorials? I have been missing them since the academy opened…

[@griffpatch]

I know - I'm sorry that the vids had to stop while I work on the academy... I'd love to begin making more again, but that had to wait for this season!

[@pel0sa484]

really miss gd tutorials :(

[@braint1]

I learned about this game jam 4 hours after this video came out and i've just finished making a prototype for a game that fits the theme because i was bored

[@iapplegamer1234]

And also it was a pleasure to here your voice

[@alsas28]

Hi friends, thank you for sharing your experience in the game, I hope you will be more successful 😊

[@expograsp_s]

just asking, did the griffpatch academy closed the registration?

[@Anton-mf5dh]

Finnaly new video

[@pearpear4319]

Hey, Griffpatch! I’ve been a coder for quite some time now but this has intrigued me, and I would like to learn some more about coding in scratch. I was thinking about signing up, but I’m worried about the price. How much would this normally cost?

[@m.ikramahfaraz5307]

when can we get griffpatch to make tutorials for serious coders on youtube again

[@Thatsciencekid]

Wow! Those projects were fantastic! I watched the full video :DBy the way, are you ever going to add usernames to your latest cloud game tutorial???

[@griffpatch]

I certainly meant to - I'll make that video one day :D

[@Thatsciencekid]

@@griffpatchNice!

Hi griffpatch! Nice video!

[@Lawfayette]

How do I make a gravity script for a geometry dash knockoff? Currently when you change the gravity it just sticks to the ground. edit: nvm I figured it out

[@High-Cloud]

._. I can't help because I am not in the academy. You can give me the project link and I'll try

[@elliote33]

Put a block which runs without screen refresh, then constantly make a variable, yspeed, change by -2.5 or so. Then make an if/else statement, and put if yspeed is less than zero, repeat until not touching ground, change y by 1 and set yspeed to 0. Else, change y by -1, set yspeed to 0. If you don't understand this, you can send the project link and I can help.

[@Tommydoesthings]

Hi griffpatch 😊

[@KomradeCheems]

AYYYY you posted!!! however, i really wish u would make more tutorials here, and what about the dont starve game you never finished?

[@annapriyathiagarajan9326]

Hi Griffpatch! I did your text engine tutorial but can't find ep 4! Have you made it yet or no? If not, could you please make it as I really need it.

[@Ryanandtheamrhooliversepokemon]

I love to see you make a match 3 game like candy crush with it’s own powerups and it own tile sets and it own type of obstacles and objectives you have to complete in amount of moves And if you do that because I love level editors you can add a level editor if you want to

[@AltFalah]

Hey there Griffpatch! Sorry to bother you but I am planning to make a game! The name of the game is "Last", If you want, you can collaborate with me, but be there at July 1st 2024 1:00 PM West Indonesian Time.

Hello Greifpatch, I have a question that I hope you can answer I'm a scratcher and I haven't become a professional yet. A while ago I made my first full game and it was a good game But after I published the game, I could not find it in the “Explore” list. Do you know why? Thank you for the wonderful videos +If you find my profile called Ahmad-pro, I hope you will try the game The name of the game is Robot vs thorns
