↻ Renewal Group - We optimize your Scratch projects - OPEN



Have a Scratch project, but feel like it could be more efficient?
You've come to the right place! Renewal Group is where you can send your project to us, and we'll optimize the code for you! If you have any special instructions, like keeping a sprite that contains templates or instructions, we can abide by these.

Giving Credit
If we revamp your project, it would be appreciated if you gave credit. There are two ways for you to do this: you can cite us in the Notes and Credits section of your project, or you can add your project to our studio. Remixing the project we give you alone isn't sufficient because we delete our projects after a while. We may add your project to our studio anyway, even if you cite us in Notes and Credits. This is because we use the studio as a way to keep track of how many projects we have serviced.

Staff
We don't hire full-time staff, but we may seek staff to help with certain projects if the shop is overloaded.

How It Works
When optimizing a project, there are two major steps: removing unnecessary code and speeding up the code. Removing unnecessary code involves removing orphaned scripts (scripts without a hat block on top of them, meaning they can't be executed outside of the editor) and simplifying scripts whenever possible (i.e. using one broadcast instead of two at the same time). At this point, most projects are fast enough to share, but some projects, particularly pen-heavy or 3D projects, need a little more speeding up. For this, we use Every Block Timed by Chrome_Cat for reference. The truth is that there are often multiple ways to do the same thing in Scratch, and some ways are faster than others. The fast ways often make editing difficult, though, so I'll only do this for projects that really need it. If you feel your opinion of “needing it” might be different than mine, please tell me in your request.

IMPORTANT: We process projects in the order they were submitted. This is intended to be a low-traffic shop, and orders may take a long time to go through. Please be patient- don't submit multiple forms for the same project.

Bitebite12 already copied the project onto their profile, so there was no need for me to keep it on mine. I'll add that I do that to the OP for clarity.

Edit: It's already there, see sentence 3 of the Giving Credit section.

Can you try to optimize MagnoliaOS? It just has a lot of stuff on it and is kind of bloated. Please try to keep intact all the functions and apps but debloat if you can.

Do you need the sprites to stay separate? Because I'm liable to consolidate the entire project into one sprite…
