At first, I was kind of salty when I saw this. I spent over 5 years on Scratch trying to get popular as a kid, but I never got popular. I put a lot of time and effort into my projects, but I never saw any returns. But, your origin story was honestly kind of inspiring, and it made me realize I was making games for the wrong reasons. I was trying to get popular, instead of trying to make good games. I don't intend on going back to Scratch, but I do feel like looking at my new games with a different perspective.

It's just nice to see a scratch user that is actually aiming to make better games rather than get 10k followers.

Exactly. The main goal in my opinion of Scratch is to make projects worthy of entertaining an audience of as many people as possible, and to be known, not just to be the most followed.
This encourages me to actually try learning scratch not just fool around.

Hey, I've actually seen quite a few of your games on scratch, but clicked on this without knowing it was you 😂That's amazing! As an advanced scratcher who has spent a lot of time making games on scratch rather than switching to other platforms for a long time, I can relate to this
I love Scratch's block system, actually. I much prefer it to text-based code that breaks easily with syntax errors off of the slightest typo you can't find, and having to remember every little prompt and setup for every little thing. It especially helps me as someone with memory problems who only codes for fun on some occasions. Keep on making Scratch games as you wish, I just followed you there and subscribed here. Can't wait to experience your other content!

If there was a professional engine that was as easy and convenient as Scratch, everyone and their mothers would be making games lmao. But as a wise Pixar villain once said, if everyone's super, no one is.

?? Loads of game engines can be used for professional games that use blocks such as gdevelop. But if ur making a professional game using code is way better as you can make more features.
Your projects are the most impressive stuff I've ever seen... Just wow!
Nice video! Its very surprising to see you dont even have 10k subscribers, the work you put into this video was amazing. Its gonna be fun seeing you on your game-making adventures and you also earned yourself a subscriber hope you reach 3k soon!
Your persistence is inspiring! Thanks for sharing with us your journey!
You made my two favorite scratch games ...
I love this video, keep up the good work!
Wow! Great video! Loved the storytelling!
i like scratch so much !This video is the motivation for me to return to doing projects on scratch. Thank you very much
my jaw dropped when i saw editor for 3d platformer in scratch. Really impressive job!
I don't know why I never thought that the creator of crystal seeker was a real human.... and to now know you made more fully fledged games, it's crazy man! I switched away from scratch a few years ago now and I never really got fully into other game engines. I felt like the barrier to entry was just too high. I also miss programming some of the fundamentals like physics and 3d renderers. Seeing how you use this platform as an honest large-scale creative tool is inspiring and maybe I'll come back at some point.
the video is entertaining :) you're a good programmer to create those game in Scratch. good luck on your programming journey!
Didnt watch the Video now but Scratch just is my favourite Game Engine. Also I just realized that Scratch is one of the only Programming Languages that dont have Errors, you just cant make Mistakes, also love it that you dont have to spend 80 percent of the time debugging, cus there are only logic bugs and no compiler errors or syntax errors

My 3 favourite scratchers have always been you, griffpatch, and pinpoint. I have seen other scratchers create great projects, but these 3 scratchers really pushed scratch beyond its limits. I think I've narrowed my favourite scratcher down to you. I feel like I am im the middle of your journey. At first my mom got me into coding classes. Then when I understood enough, I made projects that I actually felt were good at the time, but are clearly a spec of dust compared to yours. I quit around a year ago, only making projects for school. I have had no interest in scratch at all until I saw this video. You deserve every sub is youtube for your determination, and 1000+ IQ.

What About ZonxScratch?
This reminds me of my old scratch projects, i too made a 3 platformer engine. I remember when yours came out and it was originally a tank.
OP, I feel inspired for my next game!
did you just sponser yourself
Cant wait for another banger video
You give me inspiration i working on a scratch fighting game that as combos and air, and your motivating me thank you
'i spent 2000 hours' and it shows. i think you have the most talked about scratch games i've heard of. everyone who talks about scratch mentions 'look at this crystal game' every video. maybe you should start reaching out to those youtubers, and talking with them. what you've done is super impressive.
svaka ti cast i ja se bavim programiranjem ali u pajtonu ai svakako bravo sto si tako dobar u skrecu
I would love to see a video on your 3d rendering technique! I’m working on a 3d engine right now, partially inspired by your game…
100% vectoid 3d is the best. I got all my friends on school to play it for a year amazing 10/10. These days only generic projects get recognition but that is a true masterpiece
I look at this thinking this was just a random kid, I didn't see the creator until later, I've seen you before on the platform, forget Griffpatch, you are definitely the best on the platform!
I actually love making my own spin off games of popular games in scratch and its actually really fun and sometimes even challanging

My problem with scratch isn't the limitations to the code and model design (Which are pretty problematic), it's the censorships. The scratch team will cencor your project for bacically anything they find inappropriate. But I find your scratch journey totally inspireing, and I hope you find a way to monetize your games! ❤
Ja sam kao mali isto koristio Scratch, mada igrice koje sam tad pravio su bile daleko od zabavnih. Svaka cast na napredku 🤙
You are a great filmmaker
ive been using scratch since i was 5! I remember playing crystal seeker when it came out too, it's dope af. I switched to unity and now godot :)
Hey, i've used scratch for a long time, if you have problems running games, you can use Turbocharge, basically scratch but it writes all your code in JS so it runs way faster. It would be cool to see the 3d game especially running way faster.
That is a real piece of masterpiece ❤
Super cool video! I'm trying to make games on Roblox for similar reasons but I think the community there is much more competitive when it comes to making games. I need to learn how to advertise better!
bro i have literally played vectiod t3d/ i didn't know you made that, that's pretty cool!

I am 8 years old and I made the game CAT CHASE BEETLE in scratch. I love this platform
You are le best scratcher that I known it’s pretty impressive u made this stuff although me I kinda just look up a tutorial on how to do something
crystal seeker is like the only real 3d platformer engine every other one is stolen
whoa you're super underrated:O
I got a little famous on scratch (I made MOONWALK) and honestly I know this sounds kinda bad but what inspires me the most is thinking of if I made the game outside of Scratch as a mobile game with ads or something, and every view were 1$. That's what blows my mind. 😅 Side note: I LOVE your 3d tower defense! It may even be one of the best tower defense games of all time for me
Crystal seeker is a great game, I've met the previous record holder for lvl 1 irl

I like your td 3D it's cool. I also told my friends about your Td 3D.
this has very well claimed the title as best scratch project
This man is so underrated tbh
dude I've been using scratch for 3 years but some of these games I didn't even know where possible to make!
It is so sad that scratch is very slow because making 3d games can be less rewarding. Turbowarp is cool but the process of making a game can be very laggy. I am helping making a game called FrostX a fps and a scratch game usually runs on 30 fps but our fps runs 20 on scratch which is very annoying you also have to stop the whole game from running before you add more blocks to your code since it is THAT laggy. btw this game did win yoshihome’s recent game contest.
I finaly found who have made most impressive 3D Platformer in scratch
Scratch's drag and drop editor feels a lot better to use than every other drag and drop editor I've used
dobar, dobar!!!
