    Welcome FancyHats! Today I list my reasons why I think scratch is becoming too generic! These are my personal opinions and I'm not trying to be rude to people who make these platformers. Then we play a couple to test out our theories! :)

    How to truly elevate from generic and mediocre at the same time:
    1. Learn hitboxes, animation, and texturing the player so you can elevate your player from cube/square to whatever you want (as long as it still makes sense) without having really broken hitboxes that change every costume.
    2. Keep the level design fun and good. Have at least one thing that sets it apart from the crowd and at the same time doesn't make it worse. Use it all the time and not use it for 1 gimmick level so the rest feels unique. Get a few play testers so you notice things and realize that your level design might be an issue with you and difficult things aren't just a skill issue. Never ever drop off.
    3. Don't teach players the very basic controls that exist in every platformer and DO NOT USE THOSE TEXT SNIPPETS. It's just bad and you can tell a story through anything else.

    for the biome changing reason. I wanted to change from a forest to an iceberg. thus i made a pathway to basically serve as a introduction to the iceberg. I added some water on the side so it would make sense for it to change to an iceberg. Due to me doing this, I believe that people should make some sort of entrance to a new biome so it slowly changes backgrounds and stuff. For example. if you say would like to go another dimension, add a portal and a brief cutscene to make it so that is would not just be an instant teleport. You could like have the story now go to make the portal open and then continue. Alot people don't really put time and effort into scratch projects which take a few days. Whislt I am here working weeks to construct a masterpiece.

    • @MugHatGames
      @MugHatGames  5 місяців тому +1

      That does sound really good! Yeah for the biome thing I meant just like after one level it’s just like your in a completely different biome or even a different game.

    In my platformer game Black and White, I do have some features I plan on adding when the full game comes out, which includes a boss battle at the end of the game, and I may make a checkpoint if the boss is at half health. There will be 50 levels, unlike other games that lasts about 10 - 25 levels, there will be simple lore, and there will be a few mechanics a tiny bit of games use, such as Dashing. I believe that B&W2 will be a side-scrolling platformer instead of teleports, since I only know a little much about Scratches coding.
    Edit: This game may also last around 15 minutes long, unlike other games that lasts about 2 - 5 minutes long.

    @protogen-posting 5 місяців тому +2

    to be fair, scratch is a beginner's game engine. and usually, beginner gamedevs tend to gravitate towards making platformers since they're probably the easiest game genre to create. and since most of the people making the games are inexperienced in basic game design (or are just making the game to learn game design in the first place), they usually end up pretty boring

    • @MugHatGames
      @MugHatGames  5 місяців тому

      Very true. Platformers are pretty too make. Scratch gives the ability to copy and remix other peoples code so you can get ideas and inspiration. But if your really set on wanting to make games, just copying other peoples games and changing small things won’t get you anywhere especially if it’s for fame.
