Idea for an OC Creator!
- snip -
and as Mixm stated, scratch isn't just for OCs, so if they add a OC creator, wouldn't this open up to the addition of other stuff like theme song creators, meme creators, pfp creators, and other similar things which would therefore be suggested?
PFP would be created alongside the OC if chosen by user, backgrounds can be randomized or picked individually and won't be influenced on whenever the OC was randomlygenerated or created manually by picking items.

No support, OCs are not the point of Scratch. If you really want one, make one yourself or ask someone to do so.
Asking people to not do what they're supposed to do when you initiated it is much more rude than someone saying that they don't support your suggestion.
The point of the Suggestions forum is for And can people just let the Scratch Team answer me, not others who I didnt ask for?everyone to discuss this. Not just the Scratch Team.

Im not mad that he/she expressed his/her opinion, in fact, im not mad at all. Its just annoying when you ask a specific person, or group of people for their opinion, and a bunch of other disagreeing people feel like they have to jump on you. It happens to me a lot, and I am quite sick of it. Can we please not fight over this? And can people just let the Scratch Team answer me, not others who I didnt ask for?
Please and Thank you.
If you decide to post something on here, you have to be ready for it to be criticized. Also, you usually need support for scratch team to consider.

Saying “support” does nothing, as there is no discussion taking place if we only say “support” or “no support”.

What if Scratch had something where you could create your own original character, with the different styles and animations that famous Scratchers use, and even styles that not so famous Scratchers use?
We could choose, the style of our OC, the nationality, species, hair, outfit, and lots more! People on Scratch have projects where you can create an OC, but those are all spread out and hard to find really good ones. If we had a thing on Scratch designated to creating OC's, it'd be so much easier!
Plus, for those Scratchers that are not as good artists as others (me, im not a good artist, lol) it would give them the opportunity to have an OC that looks great! And for those who aren't as good with animating, you could add different positions, and costumes, like we already have for the sprites in the Scratch library.
Please consider my idea!when green flag clicked
if <Scratch Team considers> then
Nboo245-activate(happymode)
end
I disagree, so you know how just HOW MUCH WORK this will take? Who’s gonna pay for the labor costs? Cause it sure ain’t the scratch team, especially just to make it a little easier to make characters

No, there is more issues that can be solved if we just encouraged donations, such as the main issues people were protesting against 3.0 for, and of course, better servers to maintain the site as a wholeThey should encourage more donations because people can’t make their own OCs?Add-on: I'd say this could take at least a month cuz of my reply- snip -

Nope.
The Scratch Team will not take how many people rush to the ballot box into account.
A good idea's a good idea, a bad one's a bad one. Popularity does not change that.

coder2045, I asked the SCRATCH TEAM, not you. No offense. And, just because OC's arent the point of Scratch does not mean we cant have an easier way to make them. You know what else isnt the point of Scratch? Designs. Yet, it seems to me like the Scratch Team has created a studio SPECIFICALLY designated to DESIGNS and DESIGNING THINGS, and creating projects with different unique DESIGNS.
Also, if you dont support me, thats fine. I didnt really ask for anyone to support me, just for the Scratch Team to consider, and since you are not on the Team, im fine with you not supporting me.
You… post in Suggestions… then get mad when somebody else responds? I'm sorry, do you know how the suggestion board works at all?
With that out of the way, No Support
Reason being is that it would be an insane amount of work to constantly update the built-in artwork, and also breaks too far from the goal of scratch- That being to create a simple coding language that's easy to learn alongside an inlaid paint editor. Making an entire list of default variables, random body parts entirely separate from the current sprite program, separate position and costume menus, all intertwined would be the same as making a separate website given the amount of workload.
say [Tangent warning!]Lastly, the concept of OCs already irks me- They're story characters without the actual story or depth, but tacking on “species” or “personality” is then used to add the illusion of that story and depth. If you want to get yourself caught up in a new character, planning out exactly how they look, think and act, maybe try making a short story to go along with it. It will help with that designing part and also give other people a reason to feel as invested as you are!
