Scratch can take time to master, but it's perfect for people who are asking the question "How to learn how to program?" or "How to make video games".

This is a very interesting video! Love it. You really deserve what you got now after all of this! Today, you're one of my favorite scratchers
I'm almost approaching my 7th year on scratch. It's really cool seeing other people go through their history on Scratch!

This is such a motivating story! Congratulations on your achievements so far, and in not giving up! I will definitely follow your example.
You've come a long way, you deserve all the support!
I've noticed there's a surge of Scratch content on KZread lately, and I'm all in for it. Scratch is an underrated but good programming language/game engine, I don't really use anything else for animation or games. The website certainly could be better, but as a program, it's probably the best thing we ever could get our hands on.
You're a lot younger than I am, but honestly, your journey is super inspiring! I've been a hobby dev for about 5 years and I just started a YT channel too! Only difference is, I was much older and didn't show any of my games to anyone. Just wanna say that it seems like you're on the right track, and to keep doing what you're doing. Subbed and can't wait for more!

This video is amazing-the story and the (is it quite a moral?) are just really nice.
This is awesome! I also started programming on Scratch about 7 years ago, but I've since learned basically every mainstream programming language except C and C++ :D
I have been almost 4 years on scratch. It is so interesting seeing your story
I have been on Scratch for 5 years now, and I totally agree with you. Until roughly a year ago, I had a very high and annoying voice, which, in my opinion, made my already cringey games and animations even worse. But, for some reason, one of them is still one of my most viewed projects of all time (around 90 views). Looking back at my beginnings, I have learned a lot, and I have no fear of custom blocks! :D
Bro I used to play your games so much back then good to see you man
I especially love The Kingdom of Nor! Its just too good for scratch :)
Cool vid! Really inspired me to try Scratch too!
I don't know why but scratch has been a comfort website of mine for many many years, yet i've never become better nor have I ever completed a project I was proud of. I often go back with some game idea and try my hardest at it for a couple of days (maybe even a few weeks) but eventually I reach a road block and just stress myself out. I've played your games before and they inspire me to make something too, no matter how bad... but man that mental block is brutal and I just cant push myself to be better. Anyways, the video just made me think of this and I just wanted to type it out for no particular reason. I'm working on a small point and click game now, and hopefully I actually reach a state of "finish" with this one.
i was 8 YEARS WHEN I STARTED SCARTCH THANKS YOUR VIDEO IS SO MOITIVING TO DONT GIVE UP
Nice video! I know these types of comments are generic, but this is genuinely underrated
OH SO THIS IS HOW YOU STARTED (your games were always an inspiration for me)
You gave me hope!
This video is indeed an inspiring one, inspiring many young minds! :)
you are really good at coding i dont know whether you are a kid or an adult but you are really brilliant you really deserves this after 6 years ......i just want to be like you one day
Such a cool story!!
I REALLY LOVE YOUR MELLO SERIES

I recently managed to make an actual 2D collision engine after almost *8 years* of Scratch. At that time, I had a tiny PC that would take 10 minutes to fully boot up. I had downloaded Scratch 2 desktop and made animations and games with it. And then, I discovered Scratch 3 and its community. I think it's amazing how far I've come (even though it's just a collision engine :D).
i did not know chipm0nk is on yt but great oc 👌and keep up the good work
I LOVE this story!
I loved Scratch! My peak Scratch years were 2014-2018. I first heard about it in 3rd grade in Muse magazine, I think. I remember waking up early every morning in the summer because I couldn’t wait to get on my Dad’s laptop and work on my games :-). I am now studying Computer Science and Engineering at Ohio State and I fully accredit that decision to Scratch. My favorite games I made were Epic Stray Cat World the Game and Bread Platformer. I also did a lot of MAPs and animation projects. It’s good to know Scratch is still thriving since I left :-D.

As someone who’s been on scratch for 3 years but still sucks I love this channel!
Hello just want to say a big fan. I have been doing programming for about 2 years now, and I have enjoyed it a lot. After learning Python I thought my career would definitely be as a programmer or an indie game developer, I always tried everything and I really had fun doing them. over the 2 years, I have tried more than many software both in programming and designing. Finally, I thought this was the way I chose as my career path. But recently I have lost my passion for programming, I don't know what to do, or when to do it. It's like I have lost the interest I had, I don't know why. It is leading me to give up programming for good. After watching so many videos like this and getting the message to "NOT GIVE UP", I'm still at a standstill. Not knowing what to do 😔
4 real ur one of my favorite youtuber (:
A huge HONOUR, aka Zuko's favorite word
You’ve evolved so much- TOO MUCH.
You are giving me a reason to share my first project!!! Im 12, i use scratch for an year and i just finished a game where a sprite finds in a map with platforms chases you jumping, going down trying to kill you. Thanks to You, i want to share it! But first, i need to fix some things: a can tele porta from down to up if im touching a platform and i need to fix the starter bottons bc THEY ARE TERRIBLE. good job!
Very nice video 👍
Great video!! 😄
Wow I didn't know you had a KZread channel! I've seen a lot of your projects
oh man, i’m only 21, but you saying you were 10 in 2017 makes me fee ancient. I remember picking up scratch when I was 9 or 10, before the editor was browser based and it was a desktop app. super super neat knowing kids my junior also carried the torch of starting game dev with scratch!

I've been debating making games on scratch. I've been doing game dev with other engines for a while so its not that i need the simplicity but more that i think it'd be cool to make for a community of people. Most of my games haven't been played outside of game jams they were made for, it could be a nice change of pace. The restrictions also sound like a fun challenge.

I loved creating games on scrath because when I was 6 years I. Technology class my teacher told us we where using scratch today and I been obsessed with it
Wow! I didn’t know you had a channel! :D

Its my first year of Scratch, and im already OBSESSED with the platformer (Im 9 by this year)
i had no clue you had a YT!! was it you that made that one logic gate game?
Me knowing I’ve played Mellow and finding out you made it as some random lore dump 😶
Try penguin mod, it introduces important elements from a lot of languages, but in the form of scratch.
No way Chipm0nk on KZread?! I tried Unity too, my computer can run it but boy do I suck. I prefer doing the art.
The music in 1:40 gave me a heart attack. I know its just stock copyright free music but...I've heard this music being used in a certain Uh....Christian game. (You know what i mean) Btw loved the video. I used to do some scrach games back some years ago. Might give a try again.
off topic but does anybody know how tf do i delete the DST root ca X3 SSL certificate from my laptop??? (IT WONT LET ME ACCESS SCRATCH)
did you know Gandi IDE? I would love to see the Scratch games you create with it

When i was 10 i made my first game on unity and you are stilo using scratch?
When I was 7. I used scratch during pandemic. I found the nut show and it was the BEST show I have ever seen. It's still in my childhood memory.
hmm looks like a cool video *sees hollow knight* definitely a good video
Hey, what's the name of the game that appears at 1:40 ? I really like the artstyle !

so you’re telling me you’re the person that made mellow me and my friends at school play mellow all the time but scratches blocks from my website so we can’t play anymore
I remember, when I was 8 years old, me and my class was reading a story about a 9 year old game dev. So I decided when I was 9 (I'm 10 now), I should make a game. But I used Unity so now I use Godot since I need to pay, (I'm not that old to have a paypal)

Was this inspired by ggenije’s video?
people who discovered scratch during quarentine
nice :D
Finish the kingdom of nor I've played it and it was nice
My guy; actual anthropologists weep when they see some little kid's doodles on the edges of their papyrus on their homework or scribbled on old ruin walls and stuff. Trust me, someone will appreciate your work. Heck, *I* saw that first game and squeed a little. I made one just like it in Hypercard when I was about the same age in middle school. (Yes, Hypercard is ancient. Yes, I'm old. Stuff it. :P ) ... My point is, LittleM0nk did JUST fine. They got a little bombarded... but I think they came out okay. :3 But, yeah, make stuff. Also, take breaks. But also make stuff. ;3

your fist game is better than my 67th game 🤣
Ive been doing scratch for 4 years now im ten But I started when I was 6 And im a master But brother Was using unity making vr games Since 2022

Did you know that...haha, just kidding. I don't think you realized yet that you gained or discovered something precious throughout your journey. A talent for art. Programmers are a dime a dozen but being able to draw and draw well will make creating games or whatever digital content you eventually choose so much easier.
I started making games when i was like 6, and i started Ue4 when i was 10 2022 or 2023
