Scratch RPG | Devlog #01 | Splitting & Stamping Sprite Sheets
We're going to build an Epic RPG in Scratch in the style of the Legend of Zelda a link to the Past - Follow my devlog to see the awesome progress I'm making! We try out tilesets, downloading sprite sheets, learn how to split sprite sheets and import them into Scratch. We then talk about sprite stamping using the pen extension and how Scratch has improved before starting to build an uber cool and super exciting level editor. This is going to be so awesome! Please leave comments with your views on how things are going, What you'd do different or change, and what you still want adding!

This was actually way more fun to watch than I though it would be, I wouldn't have minded one of these for Level Eaten
Yes - I could still make one of those if this one is successful enough! - I need everyone to click the love button and subscribe!!!
@SVT Streamings Im saying that it would have been cool to have a devlog for Level Eaten
@@griffpatch could you consider making episode 8 on 3D raycasting making you able to look up and down? Or maybe animated texture like you showed in the preview of episode 7? Or the reflections? If not thats okay, i know you are working on this loving your content worth the wait!
@@austencope Not to toot my own horn, but I actually made a video on how to do that on my channel
@@griffpatch Uhh. Where did you get that exact tile sheet for cutting?
I just had to keep on reminding myself that this is scratch. As a programmer, I can tell you that this is very impressive. Can’t wait for the next episode. What other surprises can this man bring us? :)
Wow, thanks!
No matter the tools you have, what matters is how do you use them to your advantage
Opac3tyD is a good example of this
Yes
@@griffpatch can you make a series on how you made your 3D laser tag game
this video made me realize that, in some ways, scratch is more complex than other engines, even without the barrier of programming
Scratch is more complex by making everything more complicated to make, yeah
@@fefe177 the irony that scratches simple code ends up becoming more complex in bigger projects
@@cakeeatingpirate I mean logically, obviously
@@cakeeatingpirate It is ironic, but it makes complete sense. If you don't have many functions you can choose from, then chances are doing simple things will inevitably be complex. Consider the following flip jump program (flipjump is an esolang assembly language): 0x00: flip 0xFF; jump 0x10 //each instruction in this case is 16 bits total, and the numbers you see here are hex 0x10: flip 0xFF; jump 0x20 0x20: flip 0xFF; jump 0x30 0x30: flip 0xFF; jump 0x40 0x40: flip 0xFF; jump 0x50 0x50: flip 0xFF; jump 0x60 0x60: flip 0xFF; jump 0x00 0xF0: 0b0000000000000000 //this here is data that will be changed in this program Now, what kind of program is this? Why, it's constantly adding 1 to a 3 bit number, of course! The catch? You can't directly read a single bit of that 3 bit number, since there is no read instruction, without an external device. You'll have to get creative to figure out how to read that 3 bit number. You'll at least have to be okay with self modifying instructions.
This is so impressive Griffpatch, you continue to amaze everyone by coding the most advanced projects in scratch!
You always upload the right tutorials at the right time! I tried to make an asteroids-style game, and only days later you uploaded how to make lemonoids, only to AGAIN be perfectly timed as right now I’m in the process of making an Undertale fangame, and you upload this! I didn’t use tiles because there were WAY too many of them, and instead just made each room an individual costume with other costumes linked to it for hitboxes. (I did use your sprite ordering tutorial for NPCs - thanks again for that!)
Absolute Banger! I was trying to make an rpg and made the fight but didn't know how to do the map! I will watch this series until the very end!
I'm so blown away! Not only did I think this was possible IN SCRATCH, but you can keep building on this concept? I am exited to see what you will do next!
This is going to be so much fun! I can't wait for the tutorial, thank you for sharing your brilliant mind with the world!
I’ve been looking forward to a griffpatch made rpg tutorial or games! Thank you so much!
I am so excited for the next episode! You're literally the best scratcher ever!
Yes!!! I've been waiting for a tutorial on an RPG project! You truly are the best!
I can’t Wait for the full tutorial to come out!!! I am so exited to make my dream RPG world! A suggestion for the full tutorial, assuming that you don’t already plan on this, add links to the file downloads for the text,tiles,and props. Thank you so much for the effort you put into your videos!!!!!!!!
Griffpatch, I know you probably can’t see this, but I would totally love like, a full tutorial to this, I know it would be hard but this is just so cool! I personally think this probably took so long for you to do but I can say that it’s worth it in your end, because this is amazing!!! (Edit: He saw and commented back wow!)
It will be coming
@@griffpatch Oh my gosh ok cool! I didn’t think you could see my comment so fast, thanks for the feedback! I can’t wait! ✨
hey griffpatch thank you for always making my day! love your content
Awesome tutorial! I've always wanted to build my own RPG world full of Scratch stuff. Great work, griffpatch!
its nice how as soon as im done with your mario tutorials you upload something teaching how to use stamped costumes synonymously, just as im starting to work on something using the exact same method. perfect timing! i was about to go in blind and have a rough time
LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH! Thankyou For Making These Wonderful Vids :)
You're so welcome!
@@griffpatch plz help splitting web no work for chrome
Your tutorials are fantastic! Although I've been on scratch for over 4 years, your tutorials still teach me new stuff. Your tutorials are really easy for anyone to understand- making the code very customizable! A key part of tutorials is explaining why you need that piece of code, how it works, and the like. Some people will just sit there telling you what to do- but not why it works. Thank you for being such an influential scratcher. Please keep it up! Plus: I'm looking forward to a new tutorial past this- possibly a roguelike? ;)
Thanks for that, I really appreciate it :) - And yes, a roguelike is very much on the cards - in fact, this RPG could be used as a base for such a game too.
Truly amazing! I'm excited about the top down movement as well, as I've been looking for that for my current project. Keep it up!
This looks amazing! It is totally worth the wait for the actual tutorial series
This is probably as close as a fully developed Indie game on Scratch as we can get. This seems like a thing done on a more complex Game Engine such as Unity , Unreal or Game Maker but this being on scratch is just... "unreal"
you should make it 3D, there are platforms with stairs that head to higher or lower levels with random generation (example: caves)
Insert drum sound effect.
or godot
@@pavlolysan222 it's "ba-dum tss"
@@ChuckSploder Same thing.
I really like your videos they have helped me make many games. You are truly doing a good thing.
Glad you like them!
@@griffpatch he is so true! You are amazing!
@@griffpatch love your video!
i always wanted you to make devlogs, glad to see my wish came true !! id LOVE to see more of this!
I just love how your tutorials allow us to better understand what happens in your games, our games, and everyone else’s games. Thank you so much for these epic tutorials.
I appreciate that!
I would've loved to see a Sonic-themed game but an RPG is just as good the moment I realized games like Earthbound or Undertale are essentially RPG games.
someone on the r/scratch subreddit is recreating one of the sonic games in scratch and it looks really good so far
Well, what did you think they were
This is amazing it’s so cool I’ll definitely use this in my later games
From what you got so far, I know the tutorial is going to be AWESOME. Can't wait for you to do the tutorial!
I hadn't realized how recent this video was, so I didn't want to get my hopes up for episode two, because I couldn't find it, lol. You are doing amazing, and I can't wait to play the game! Also I'm trying the same exact thing thanks to you. I can't figure out the neatly placed tiles, though. If you could show how to do that in the next vid, that would be amazing.
i actually would like to see different enemies with passive abilities, like undead enemies that revive after a certain time and can only be defeated using specific items
The entire tile selection looks great but there is a issue. In 12:16 when you were adding the house, the background of the tile was transparent but scratch changes the colour of the tile background as it is not getting overlayed. There can be two solutions for it either to design a layer system for the tiles or make the tile background for those tiles the nearest tile background as house can be placed in various instances. When I was trying to make this in a clone tile system, I failed to add a second layer or change the background but could accomplish this in the entity sprite, but with using pen instead of clone, I think it would be possible to try this. This can also be used to put multiple trees overlayed on top of each other etc.
If you saw right at the end, I scroll down and you can see the same house sprites and trees working with masking... How I did this will be explained in the next episode :D, but your insight is spot on.
Can't wait till the recreating scratch in scratch but somehow better! amazing tutorial again, cant wait to see the finished result!
Wow, this is a lot of stuff. Firstly, the level editor already looks amazing. Can't wait for collisions, and later enemies to be added!
For a while, I have considered Griffpatch the creator of the most advanced Scratch projects. This tells me he definitely is now.
You know Griffpatch, I would love to have a tutorial series about how to make a turn base rpg on scratch.
Hi, I tried to use the tile-scrolling platformer for my RPG idea. Great to see an dedicated RPG tutorial being in the making!
Super fun as always to watch, congrats. I may not make stuff on Scratch as much, but I still love seeing games and concepts that push Scratch to the limit's, stuff like the Super Mario Maker 3 or Kirby Dreamland 3 Maker, etc, entire Maker's within Scratch with level saving, entity ai, etc. It's amazing, thank you Griffpatch.
This looks amazing! Cheers me up for a new griffpatch upload
6:37
I would love to play this on my own free time! btw i would love to see a tutorial for a tower defence game, kinda like the bloons td series.
Sorry I accidantly disliked I was going to like
I agree too! But I want to see something like Pvz or like you said something in the Bloons series for a tower defense game.
@@sorrypants31 I think you mean pvp not pvz
@@JetfirePlayz8899 pvz is short for plants vs zombies
@@pessskychaos4874 ohhhhhhhhh ok
Holy smokes! I’ve wanted a RPGlike game tutorial for so long! Thanks a million Griffpatch!!
Woah! This is exactly the thing I’ve been looking for! Great to see that this is getting its own series :]
this is seriously amazing, it's kind of similar to rpg maker
Indeed, while coding the engine I have also referenced RPG maker at times (although I've never used it myself). It makes sense to check these things out as they might have some good ideas.
@@griffpatch the way rpgmaker does npcs is also interesting, it may not be possible for it to go as in-depth here with the details but something similar would be neat
Ahh. I would love if you made a few more devlog series, it's really joyful to watch you as such.
I love these devlogs! I learn so much from them! Maybe even more than tutorials xD Keep it up! :D
This looks amazing. Your tutorials and videos are always great.
I really love your content and I respect all of the hard work you put into your games and videos!
This is the best timing! I was starting work on an rpg!
Really love the tutorial so much! And amazing Devlog series.
i've been wanting to see a devlog-type video from you so bad, im so glad that you made one!
Yay! Thank you!
So this is a Devlog?! Did not except that! But This is so cool! I've been waiting for this!
I’m so excited! Another Griffpatch project to keep me entertained while I should be doing productive stuff. I can’t wait!
so excited!!! editing top notch, please dont overwork yourself!
Hi griffpatch! I started making a similar game 3 months ago. And I was really really surprised after I found this! It could help me so much on my game since I have already build up the base!
Keep up the amazing work! I can’t wait until It’s finally completed!
I cannot tell you how much I've needed this, I've been trying to make an RPG for months, but I could never find a tutorial that could actually help. Thanks!
I really hope this will work out well for everyone once we get going with the full tutorial :D
I don’t even know where to begin on how crazy cool this is, it is so good I am certain that you can make the best games.
This is really great! I'll definitely stick along for more videos!
I don’t even know where to begin on how crazy cool this is, it is so good I am certain that you can make a game that quality rivals with official Zelda games
This series is so incredibly cool and I can’t wait for the next video!
Dear lord I haven't touched Scratch in years, and I'm glad to see how well you're channel is doing.
I really love this format of videos, I wish that you make more of them!
A little bit late, but I have been waiting for this series for months! Thanks a lot.
YAAAAAY!!!! IM SO HAPPY THAT YOU STARTED RPG TUTORIAL I WERE WAITING FOR IT!!! :)))
Very exciting This is gonna be an amazing series
I am so Exited the wait was worth it 100x over thank you so much for posting this video
It is so exciting and shocking what you can do with scratch! great tutorial :D
Looks like a super fun tutorial series. It would be super cool to see some kind of ability system integrated into the game.
This tutor is one of the few that take instructions step by step, and interests me.
MAN, this is truly amazing, just seeing that this came from scratch is awesome!
Glad you like it!
This is awesome! I like the graphics and art so much.
Cool!! Keep it up, I want you to make the full series!
I remember playing your games years upon years ago and you popped up in my recommended today :)
Hey griffpatch! I actually quit scratch a bit ago but remained subscribed to your channel because I still love some of the content you post. Its pretty funny that you uploaded this, because some time ago, I was planning to make an RPG on scratch with my friend but quit and moved to unity because Ithe tiling system I was using was very difficult and poorly optimized. This system you have made however is amazing and proves that anything is possible on scratch if you are clever enough! Hats off to you!
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm really starting to like the process, not like I didn't before but this is just. "magnificent"
When I first joined Scratch, I never thought there would be very cool scratcher, the griffpatch. Thanks for amazing tutorials!
hehe - Scratch is what we make it!
bro this looks fantastic, man you still always teach me new things and it gets my fingers wanting to code some on
Same here :D - Let's get Scratching!
even though I no longer use scratch and have graduated to using fusion 2.5, these videos are still really entertaining and can even teach you stuff that works in other engines too! keep up the good work.
Glad you like them!
Wow a ton of new things to learn! You are amazing Griffpatch ! We love you man…
More to come!
You are seriously taking scratch and turning it into gamemaker and have been for years now. You are insane.
Very excited! This looks awesome!
ooo very cool :) I'm so excited to see the full tutorial!
oh wow, i can tell this is gonna be really helpful... can't wait for that text one!
Yay griffpatch I really can't wait for the RPG tutorial your videos helped me learn how to be an expert on scratch RPG here we go. Thank you for making the RPG .
I love this! to the animation and art, so good! can't wait!
i can tell you that i have been working on a scratch project like this and has taken me 2 years. :/ i did start with no experience though but if i knew that i could do it like this then i would have been so much better off. i an so exited to see the tourtorial! keep up the good work and scratch on. 😁
Even though I moved on from Scratch coding to JavaScript Its still entertaining to watch the tutorials. You made me invested into coding and I appreciate that griffpatch! You brought me through this journey.
my grammar is not that good i know
Mine either lol
With the tile selector in the editor I'd recommend a system similar to Super Mario Maker 2, with a toolbar containing recently used items, possibly accessible through number keys, and the rest of the tiles organised however you would like.
Perfect timing! Just started my game yesterday!
Wow! i love devlogs, so happy griffpatch is doing them too now!
I love the fact that your 2d minecraft does not even feel like a scratch project
Hey griffpatch, you are incredible! I like your tutorials a lot. I really hope you make tutorials on how to do this, because I really always wanted to program an RPG, and scratch is what I do best, so I really want you to make those good videos that you know how to do. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
It's so interesting to see what all you can achieve in scratch
This RPG idea is so cool
Oh my gosh! This is sooo good! I am excited about the next Dev log. Also, this is Scratch? Oh my, I am a programmer and this is impressive for a Block-based programming language. And you could make great pixel levels like that? It takes me 2 weeks. Then I have to use tiled.
Your energy is that similar to Stampy and I love it, your tutorials are truly so fun
This is one of the best tutorial there is going to be for me also please make sure that there is going to be a already set up sprite for the tiles .
I never knew you had a youtube channel. I really loved your paper minecraft project!
This is why I LOVE griffpatch... Really fun to watch this video
i was wating for this tutorial.thank you griffpatch your the best
The project looks so good
you always make the most complex projects keep up the good work :)
