NOTICE: This game may possibly be moving to a new platform (preferably the Godot Engine). Please bear that in mind if you're planning to become a developer.

ABOUT:
This is a game collab/collaboration, where different Scratchers join forces to make a game! This project is going to be pretty big, so we need applicants.
This game is about a cat called Fluffy which is a retired cat fighter. One day, his friend, Snowy, tells him there is a dog clan that is planning to destroy the secret cat agency and all cats because of their rising cuteness and popularity! Fluffy agrees to escape from its owners and sets out to stop the dog clan. The current full storyline will be provided if you are a writer. Application forms below.

FORMS AND WORK DETAILS
The application form is below. Simply copy and paste the form, fill in all the details and post it in this topic.
Name:
Job: Developer/Writer/Pixel Artist/Music/SFX (sound effects/music)
Examples of your work:

If you submit this form, TheDreamyProfessor or me will accept or decline the application.

TO DO LIST:
1. Get applicants!
2. Think of the full story
3. Make sprite art

DETAILS:
Everyone can think of ideas (They may even become approved!).
Everyone accepted can take on other jobs if they can.
Pixel artists: draw assets, textures, backgrounds, etc. You can also draw assets that might appear in the final storyline. The animation is optional.
Coders: Update the newest version of the game. If it’s a minor change, only remix the project. You can also add new features that are approved by zed.
Sound artist: Create soundtracks and sound effects when needed. Please do not add unnecessary sound effects, and make sure the sounds fit what is happening onscreen.
Writer: Write the storyline. Any current writer will hand you the newest version of the storyline. You can add dialogue, and suggest ideas in your script. After that, please copy-paste the entire thing and post it in the forum. Split the text into different posts if necessary.

The Terms:
I'm working on the terms currently. It may take a while.

FAQ:
Why is my application not accepted?
It might be because you have not filled in the necessary details, or is not suitable to work here. It might also be because you are missing the codeword, which is hidden somewhere here. If you missed the codeword, Zed should reply with something along the lines of “you’re missing something.”.

What does CGE mean?
CGE stands for Cats Great Escape, aka the title of this collab.

Why is it taking so long for a reply to my application?
Often applications get buried into posts. If you don't get a response after a day, post your application again.
You might not be getting a message because you're not following the forum.

Why are we potentially moving to a new platform?
The reason is that Scratch may not be able to handle all of the features that are potentially being added to CGE.

Where's the script?
Sometimes, like other posts, the script also gets buried. Just request the script, and we'll copy it into a new post for you.

Where's the art assets?
The art assets can be found in the engines. Just look inside, download, then edit them yourself using pixel art on Scratch or another program, then use an image-hosting site (available to Scratch) like cubeupload to upload the image to a forum post.

Oh yeah, and put this thing in your application, type CAT and then the first and last letter of your username, for example, my username would be CATZG

Tbh I wonder how you made that intro, just saying because I don't think that's naturally possible in Scratch's engine.

Or it's just me.

EARLY APPLICATIONS are needed.
I haven't thought up the whole thing, but for the general gist, it's a classic-styled game about a cat named Snowy who escaped its owners in favor to travel the city of Massachusetts or as the cat refers to it “The Land of the Cats” to help the cats of an underground dog clan plotting revenge against cats because of their rising cuteness and popularity.

I used Massachusetts because it has the highest cat population.

To-do
1: Get applicants
2: Think of the full story
3: Make sprite art
More items will pop up gradually in many points of development.

For pixel artists:
A cat I made, however, the walking animation isn't particularly great.
