As a retired electrical engineer (automated test) who has been coding for the last 50 years I have gone through the learning curve of becoming productive in a new programming language multiple times. My approach has always been to read the books to learn the syntax and then write code to reinforce what you learn. That approach always worked in the past, but, didn't help me as much with Scratch. My grandson and I have been getting together once or twice a week for over a year to develop our Scratch skills. Your video approach has allowed us to learn more about productive Scratch coding in the last 3 months than all we did in the previous year. You have a gift for explaining complex graphics concepts in terms that your followers can understand and adapt as we experiment with your code. The last thing I would like to say, and the reason I submitted this comment (which, by the way, I have never done in my life - I'm not a social media person) is thank you for going through the Scratch learning curve and saving me the countless hours of trial and error you spent developing the RPG series. I want you to know I understand and truly appreciate the effort you put into producing your game series. You should feel good knowing how much you are contributing to the positive development of a whole generation of Scratchers. I'll be seeing my Grandson at dinner tonight - can't wait to tell him episode 6 is out. Thanks, Mike

Great series! I’m surprised that in such a short amount of time we’ve gone from a laggy blank field to a whole world builder, and when we eventually add other mechanics, it’s going to be insanely cool!

i got mad cause this was member only for like 4 days, 100% worth the wait, this game is becoming amazing! i found your channel a month ago, and cannot stop watching your videos. Your probably one of my favorite youtubers now, keep up the great work!!!

Woooooooooooo!!!! I hit 1k views on my first video and I got inspired to make videos by you! I just wanted to say thank you! ♥

It's all starting to come together! Really amazing how much can done with smart programming in Scratch. I think this series has already added so much to the Scratch coding base and serve as a launching point to what is possible. Kind of like a library. Once people understand certain coding concepts, I fully expect the level of Scratch projects to steadily increase as more creators share fully thought out well designed concepts. The map/level creator is something so necessary for large immersive worlds that unless you had some skill in another program would be impossible for most scratchers. Thanks again for this awesome series!

oh my god i cannot BELIEVE how hard coding the layer 3 stamping was! i just almost couldnt figure it out, it seriously takes a genius to do that!

Your tutorials are always wonderful, and encourage millions of scratchers to code. The way you explain complex content in a fun way is also a reason that makes your videos a must watch.

When I first started Scratch, I always wanted to be like you, and with your tutorials, I now know what it's like to be a professional Scratcher like you :D Thanks for all your tutorials, they really helped me out.

YES! This is what i was looking for since last episode. Great video as always!

From your tutorials I'm learning so many neat programming tricks!, useful in, and outside of scratch. Like for instance this one, 17:08, just a bit of simple math instead of having to do an entire if else statment. It would be cool if you could create a small compilation of a lot of the simple programming tricks

Hey Griffpatch - I think we killed two birds with one stone! Earlier, there was a bug that when you get to the right side of the screen with the editor on, you can walk OVER the palette. But now, since we added a ''Stamp'' block at the end of the Paint - Player script, we not only introduced Layer 3, but we also made the player BEHIND the palette!

I can't wait for the next video!! This series is really helping me code my own projects as well! I never really understood how to make custom blocks

the fact that everything you see on the stage is stamped (except for the editor outline which is still drawn with the pen extension) is insane

One concept I would love to see you tackle in a sort of side tutorial (scratch backpack essentials?) is customizable keybinds for games. We got a small taste of this sort of system when designing our Mario platformer, but we never built upon it past defining variables for certain keys. I’ve already attempted to create a system for this, and it all works well except for changing the keybinds in-game, and i just had an idea for a fix. Alas, ‘tis late, so here’s to a tomorrow of possibilities :D

I've done that before in the Super Mario Tile Scrolling Platformer tutorial episode when enemies were added. Oops! I messed it up because I did not "test" to see that I did it right, because somehow clicking the green flag was required for the enemy code to work.

I’m honestly grateful for these tutorials, they’re helping me a lot for something I have in mind

Thanks so much Griffpatch for this awesome series, keep up the good work I saw the devlog and thought that the pins idea you had for collisions was amazing keep up the amazing work😃😃

Again, another amazing video on scratch! Thanks for putting your time towards your community and making these video enjoyable

I find it really neat how some of Scratch’s limitations can help to teach about how games work internally. I’ve used engines that have built-in scrolling and layers, so the issues shown in this tutorial series aren’t a factor. Having to call the tiles from a list, and refresh the screen every frame gives interesting insight into how games work deep down. I remember seeing that old Terraria project from a while back, and I was wondering, with this new tile drawing system, would it be possible to have that one smoothly scroll? Or is it simply too many tiles to draw at once

Ngl This was my favorite episode of this series!! Nice tutorial!!

Wow griffpatch! you always find the most easy and fastest way to do your games! amazing work griffpatch!!

I was comparing our progress with this with your previous dev logs, and wow, there is STILL so much left to cover! We still have to animate those water/lakes in our maps. There is also the possibility of re-layering the player when they go up ladders or other structures in order to correct walking on, as well as underneath bridges. But I have a feeling that could possibly be covered very soon, maybe? Perhaps when we cover the area/wall collision pins, that would be a good time to cover the other possible colored pins that had came after the dev log? Anyways, great job as usual! The onion skinning option really does help a lot in building these maps. :)

I DID IT !!! YAY !! 🤩

Man, when I picked up Scratch my intention was to learn it and then teach it to kids, frankly, this was not the level I was expecting did not even think of doing such things, even though I have a coding background to come up with all this to me is impressive!

I have ben on scratch for more than a year, i never thought that it can get so complex, but i also didnt expect to see a human able to code at that level

this video came out as I was make a undertale like Rpg! 😮 This so good

you're the man griff, the god of lists

I'm looking forward to the future episode implementing automatic default levels for each tile (as glimpsed in RPG Devlog #02). It's tempting to add features ahead of these being published, and I've had a go at adding Non-Player Characters and a location minimap. But this brings the disadvantage that my own choices for how to code something will inevitably vary from those made by Griffpatch, and I'll end up with multi-branched versions that are hard/impossible to converge again. Scratch is not great for version control! I'm using this partly to teach kids (in a UK school CodeClub) how to get beyond 'simple' Scratch to professional standards of programming. It would be good to see some of what Griffpatch uses to design and document projects like this. Right back from when I was first writing system software (mainly in Fortran-IV, on DEC-10s), just launching into writing/testing lines of code, without an overall design to work within, would never have worked for a large project - and it doesn't work well in Scratch either!

thanks for such great opportunity.
