Can I add a demo to scratch and use turbowarp extensions and publish the full to itch.io using turbowarp extensions advertise it on scratch?
I have an idea for a Minecraft style game that’s not a clone, but a unique game about space, and I was planing on releasing a demo to scratch and a full version to itch.io. I would use custom turbowarp extensions for multiplayer and cloud saving using scratchattach and sql databases. Would I be able to advertise the full FREE version on scratch (on my profile and the demo’s project page)?

Yeah, I think that's OK, but you may want to ask this in QaS (I'll report this to be moved)

make sure the project itself does follow scratch rules though. not sure how allowed it is
(you dont need to reply when you're the only posts here guys!)

What do you mean by make sure the project follows scratch rules? The demo would need to otherwise it wouldn’t be allowed on the site.

Also when you reply the person you replied to gets a notification when you do I’m pretty sure.

No, the person does not get a notification for quoting/replying.

make sure you don't mind people getting the original unpackaged project, as there is ways of decompiling it.

How do you prevent unpackaging?

I don't think there are any ways to prevent it. If you really don't want anyone to see the code ever, then I recommend using a different game engine (like Unity or Godot) instead of Scratch.

there isn't any way. any project packaged using htmlifier, the forkphorus packager or the turbowarp packager can easily be unpackaged without any way of stopping it. (technically the penguinmod packager doesn't have a depacker, but since it is a mod of turbowarp you might be able to unpack it via the turbowarp one/a slightly modified turbowarp unpackager)

Do you think I can run the game in a browser to fix it? Would that work?

Wait so which version are you advertising it? The one on turbowarp or the one on itch? because itch shouldn't be mentioned on scratch from what I know

From what I understood, the OP is making it on Turbowarp but publishing it on Itch.

No, people would still be able to download the file and unpackage it.
