Scratch MONTH instead of Scratch WEEK

tempor_pass

So in the birthday bash (SW2024) studio, I encountered a user named @Ronaldo-for-ever who thinks in 2025 we should have a Scratch month instead of the regular Scratch week. I kind of agree with the idea and responded, so can we have a Scratch month instead of a Scratch week for everything after 2024? I think it will give us more time to make projects, leading to better projects and games that don't make me go away or criticize the thing. A week and only a singular day for each specific theme isn't enough time to make a project that is better than average (and isn't art or little writing, those can be produced rather quickly). The very narrow time window is why my hidden worlds project is just Tempor and Permo on a vehicle and why my day in the life of project has nothing to show other than a few text. Also, don't add more themes and still keep the time window for each one to a single day, that doesn't solve my issue.

I'm still straying away from that mediocre piece of writing and refining my work to become this, which is still not the best:

It's midnight. You're sleeping, completely unaware of what's happening when two strange large red lizards with wavy stripes that are a brighter shade of the red used by the rest of their body walk to you and lift your entire mattress to move it to a glowing green portal that lands you in another place. You don't know that you're even moving, just sleeping, covered in a comfy thick blanket, while hugging your soft pillow. The red lizards place you in an area that you don't even see until hours later when you wake up from your very heavy sleep.

I don't think this is necessary. We already do have Scratchtober.

Scratch on!

Scratchtober is Inktober-inspired and everything still takes place in a singular day so making great games according to my standards is still almost impossible unless you're making a very simple one. But yeah… Maybe you're kind of right if you ignore the facts. I semi-semi-support your no-support but I think this Scratch month idea will have themes every week instead.

You do know that they released the themes for each day of Scratch Week a week early, right?

They did, but people like me just wait for the right time to make a project.

I think that scratch month is better because everybody has more time 2 make better projects and more time 2 add the projects so it's overall easier

Now that's more like it, thank you! Keeps Scratch Week's precise time while implements a month without daily themes.
