People love the idea of survival. It's fun and a bit tense, just like Minecraft, which is a very popular and loved game as we all know. But people find it very hard to make games such as Minecraft on Scratch. But last week, I have thought up a very easy-to-do and fun idea to make a survival game in Scratch.
The idea can be used for other games, not just survival games. But I think survival is the best type of game to create using this idea.

The Idea:
Part 1 “Scenes”

The idea is to make a first person game. But don't worry, what I mean by “first person” is not like Call Of Duty or anything like that. Basically, what you have to do is you make a whole lot of different scenes. For example, a scene where there is a river, or a scene where there is a cave and trees. The way you make a scene is you go to backgrounds and you create your scene (picture). After you have a lot of scenes, you are ready to actually “roam around”. The way you do that is to first have a starter scene, such as a plane crash or something. Then, you have arrows. If the player clicks an arrow, he/she goes to the next scene. You can decide which scene each arrow leads to. For example, if you have an arrow pointing to left in your starter scene, if the player clicks it, then he/she goes to the next scene, which would be the view left of the starter scene. Therefore, if he clicks the right arrow of the current scene, he/she would go back to the starter scene. If you find this confusing, the type in “www.oy1.com” in Google. Then go to the “Room Escape” section. If you go there, you can find a whole bunch of games that is exactly about what I wrote above. The games are free online.

Part 2 “Items and Inventory”

After you have created your scenes, you are ready to put actual “items” in the game. Items are actually easier to make than it seems. So, first of all, you create your items by just drawing them as a sprite. Then, you put the command “When ____ clicked” so that the player can click on the items. Make your items go to your inventory when clicked, and your inventory can be anything such as a bar or something. Put items in the correct places in your scenes. For example, berries on berry bushes and sticks from branches or trees. Your items must be able to help the player survive in some way, like sticks and stones to make fire. Items can also be collectables that can be hidden behind rocks, so at the end you can ask the player how much they've got out of how many you've put in your game.


So, that's the basic idea of the game. You can tweak your game however you want and make it as advanced as you want.

I am going to be making a game like what I have said, so keep an eye out for that.
