Explorer: the untold story of a little boy - who wants to help?

Jefrythecrazy

This is a game I have started to work on (see the name up there) that is a top down (not scrolling) open world>ish game.
At a sertain point of the game you will have to learn how to fight monsters. You will need to survive hunger and thirst too.
I am working on a trailer for it that shows the story, so be sure to follow me so you can see when i share it

If you want to help you will need to give me your:

Username
What you think you can help with
Your experience with scratch /10
How long you have been on scratch

What would be great if you helped with:

Tips for coding
Landscape ideas
Music for the gameplay
Character ideas

Can`t wait to see the replys

Don`t forget to visit @Jefrythecrazy

My friend @explosive-tnt is working on a project too. be sure to view that post too! https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/237936/?page=1

Thirst. What does it mean to be thirsty? It's the feeling to drink something. When you drink from a natural river, lake, or pond, does it not occur that the water could be polluted? So yeah, when you're exploring the world, you can get dehydrated over time, accelerated by active movement, but polluted water can be harmful as well. We can always assume that the boy is always in tip-top condition and have a unbelievable strong immune system since it's just a game, but it would be more realistic to introduce a chance of infection or a way to make polluted water, safe water.

I can help with the AI of the game.
My experience with Scratch is rated 7 out of 10.
I've been on Scratch for over 7 years.

Hello banzed thanks for agreeing to help!

That`s a cool idea! So when he drinks the polluted water his health goes down, like it does if you run out of thirst or hunger, and mabe you can buy an item in the game that tells you if the waters okay? Does that sound alright? Please do note though that this game is set in the medevil (soz for spelling) times so there cant be anything futuristic. But thanks for your ideas!

The Lobster mushroom, Hypomyces lactifluorum, contrary to its common name, is not a mushroom, but rather a parasitic ascomycete fungus that grows on certain species of mushrooms, turning them a reddish orange color that resembles the outer shell of a cooked lobster. H. lactifluorum specifically attacks members of the genera Lactarius and Lactifluus (milk-caps), and Russula (brittlegills), such as Russula brevipes and Lactifluus piperatus in North America. At maturity, H. lactifluorum thoroughly covers its host, rendering it unidentifiable. Lobster mushrooms are widely eaten and enjoyed fresh.They are commercially marketed and sometimes found in grocery stores; they have been made available at markets in Oregon. They have a seafood-like flavor and a firm, dense texture.

Thanks for agreeing to help Vintageaura! The music is great! But it might not fit for the main menu. But I`ll use it for when you walk into any of the shops (in game, not in real life

.) Is that okay by you? I might even use both of them, I`ll see, but i`ll definitely use one of them at least.

Hi everyone! I just want to say I have now started the explorer project so I will share it and make it so the only people that can view it are the people that are helping me! Here is the link to the trailer,

Click here :D

and the game itself,

Click here ;)

Hope you like them both!

How do you code the music to stop. I tried this

stop all sounds

but it did not seem to work.

VintageAura

Broadcasts reset so you can do something like

when I receive [toggleMusic v]
if <(music?) = [true]> then
set [music? v] to [false]
forever
play sound [music v] until done
end
else
set [music? v] to [true]
end

i didn't test this.

Thanks!

I took a close look at the trailer and I liked how the story was presented along with the video / animation created using vector mode (you brought out a lot of what make art with vectors great for animating and positioning things) in Scratch. This also includes the title screen / main menu. If you need help with artificial intelligence (AI) for anything like homing projectiles for example, let me know.

Thanks for agreeing to help *wink* . But I don`t think there will missiles in the game ex-t it is set in the medevil times

jaydenminecraft

I can help with a “Jefrythecrazy presents…” Animation at the start if you like

Jefrythecrazy

Thanks but you need to put in what I said to at the original post. What do you mean by the “jefrythecrazy presents” animation? Do you mean where it says that in the trailer?

Jefrythecrazy

I need more help with code. It`s the wall mechanism I need help with. I tried this…

if <touching color [grey] ?
turn cw (180) degrees
move (3) steps
turn cw (180) degrees then
end

But that glitches.

Move it back the same speed and reverse the direction it's moving in once it touches the color grey OR if right arrow key is pressed, change X by 3, if touching the color grey, change X by -3 and if left arrow key is pressed, change X by -3, if touching the color grey, change X by 3.

That is not correct, if it is a scroller. If it is a scroller, try this

when green flag clicked
forever
set x to (0)
set y to (0)
if <key [left arrow v]pressed?> then
change x by (-5)
if <touching color [#000000] ?> then
change x by (5) //and the same for right arrow, but reversed. And the same for y, likewise

end
end
change [scroll x v] by (x position)
change [scroll y v] by (y position)
... // do whatever else
end
