The subreddit has been re-opened.

20 Upvotes

Hey there!

I'm the new Mod for r/scribblenauts.

I know it has been awhile since the subreddit has been open (almost a year at this point(?)) so I'll try to answer some questions some people might have to ask.

Why was the subreddit closed?

In response to Reddits new API changes, the subreddit was closed by the former mods "indefinitely" to rebuttal these changes.

If you'd like to view more about these changes I'd suggest you either just search up "Reddit API protest" here on reddit or just look at a few articles on google. An example could be this wikipedia article.

Why did you re-open the subreddit?! It was better when it was private to protest!

In the short term, the protest did not have much of an affect on the company themselves. They didn't really care about people protesting excluding the bigger subreddits who were told to re-open them or their mod teams would be replaced.

Reddit doesn't even care about its users! Why go out of your way to un-private this subreddit in the first place?

I mostly went out of my way because I wanted to see how the Scribblenauts community is in recent times and to hopefully reach out and interact with more people as well.

I would like to say however that I do not support the changes that reddit had made a couple of months ago, and how it affected others as well. I'm not originally aware if this people from this sub had approved of the closure as well. As theres others like myself who used Reddit casually.

​Well now that you're here, now what?

Now that the subreddit is reopened, I would like to hear the communities opinions on how I could possibly improve this place at its current state. Along with any questions anyone might want to ask!

Creation Announcing my Scribblenauts inspired game Drawchemy!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

Hey all! I’ve been working on a game for the last two years called Drawchemy. It lets you draw, build, and create things to solve open ended challenges. Whatever brush you draw with has its own properties and effects!

Scribblenauts was a really special game to me growing up. I always loved the open ended nature and experimentation from it. I wanted to play it homage in my first ever solo game project.

If this looks cool, check it out here ❤️

Discussion Am I the only one scared by living objects?

8 Upvotes

Even through the Scribblenauts series is very nostalgic and one of my favorites, I was always terrified by any living objects and would avoid spawning them. The way they hop around as if they're possessed totally creeps me out. If I saw something do that in real life, I'd run screaming.

Living objects in other franchises tend to have limbs and/or faces, or something that makes them seem like they could actually be alive. But in Scribblenauts, even a mannequin, which has arms and legs, moves by hopping around.

Anyone else feel the same way, or am I just a scaredycat?

Help Object Editor: How to make an object attacks animals, but not pets or humans

8 Upvotes

Just fiddling with object editor today. I want to try to make my object attacks animals, but not pets or humans, just like a hunter. My current attempts are:

  1. Just add "destroy animals" Result: object attacks humans and pets
  2. Try to fiddle with negating filters. Result: no such negation exist. I've tried "not" and "un-"
  3. Add "protect human" and "protect pets" before "destroy animals". Result: object stops attacking them, but there is an additional behavior that they will protect them.

Is there any other way to make my object behave more like hunter?

Creation "Recent" creations Spoiler

(Marked spoiler because first pic has something spOoOoky)

These aren't really "recent" because they're all from last year and the year prior, but they're made after Mega Pack's heyday so it's recent enough. Aside from the first image, which is the most recent and made on my Switch copy of Mega Pack (during which I managed to change my shop name because the servers were somehow up at that point,) everything else is made on the Steam release of Unlimited.

It's been a while since I've used the object editor. I'd be pretty rusty, but...maybe it would be fun to form a little community again like back in the "Scribbler" days on Miiverse :D Maybe even usher in a new era, new ways to use the game as a canvas and a tool for creation, teaching others tricks of the object editor, etc.

Help 111/112 shards

5 Upvotes

Edit: I found it, it was the zeppelin level, I didn’t realise it was a icon
I’m playing the switch edition of scribblenauts and I’ve collected what I believe to be every shard and starite. In my menu I’m only missing 1 shard piece and I have manually gone through every level looking for the missing piece and can’t find it
I have also got 217 out of 217 object shards
Is this a known glitch or is there an area that I have missed with a single shard piece or is there an overall starite list that I have just missed?

I've been trying to increase my 3DS collection of games and I've been interested in getting it, but I do want to create a character to play as (I don't hate Max but I like playing as a specific character that I like). I'll probably buy it anyway since it's dirt cheap but I just want to know.
