Make an Open World Game/ RPG in Scratch | Tutorial
Hi everyone, Zinnia here! Today I want to show you how to create an open-world game in Scratch. By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to design and develop your very own game where a character can explore an endless world, interact with other characters, and much more. Let's dive in!
To start, choose a sprite to be the main character of your game. You can select any character you like, such as the Scratch cat. Next, create a giant sprite to serve as the background that will move around as the character stays in the center. This creates the illusion of the character exploring a vast world.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Select a main character sprite.
- Create a large background sprite, painting a basic map.
- Enlarge the background sprite using a blank costume trick.
- Implement movement using arrow keys for up, down, left, and right directions.
- Add objects or characters that the main character can interact with by duplicating the map sprite, creating a new costume, and adjusting the code.
By following these steps, you can bring your open-world game to life in Scratch. Feel free to experiment with different sprites, backgrounds, and interactions to customize your game.
