Not sure if I wanna join, but I've got two suggestions:

-It might be good to have people to do sounds and music as well
-Debuggers should probably just be the same as programmers. It's really hard to be able to fix a bug in a program you didn't write, and so are not familiar with. I think it would save you time and organization to remove the “debugger” role.

Okay thank you!
Sorry, I am new to this whole thing, but I figured I would try it out.

No problem! They're just some thoughts I felt would help!

As for joining… well, why not step out of my comfort zone? I've never programmed a board game before! I'm almost wrapped up with production of my own game, so it won't be too much, I don't expect. No, I don't think I'm too tied up!

Here:

Username(s): JoeyTheChicken / GroundyandSkyah (Alt)

Position of Interest(s): Programmer or head programmer

Ability in the above interest(s) (poor-1 10- amazing): In terms of programmers on Scratch… 7-8?

Examples of Work (Must have at least two):

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/98006093/ (For a collab. I wrote everything but the clouds, movement for the character, and the easter eggs, which leaves all the tile work)

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/13514869/ (Just a fun Pong made for school two years ago)

How often are you on Scratch?: I'm on several times a day

Wonderful! Anybody have ideas on what we should start with?

Edit: If necessary, I like to do lots of homemade sounds ;D
