Advanced Alpha Games is a new Scratch game development group, aiming to make advanced and fun games.

What makes it stand out from the rest?

At Advanced Alpha Games, we won't make just a single game. We aim to have fun developing games and make sure players have fun too. Many people don't think this way.

Am I free to join?

Advanced Alpha Games is looking for skilled and dedicated individuals. If you are passionate about joining us and want to do the best you can, then please apply!

Well, how do I join?

Check the second and third post.

Why are some of the positions empty but also not accepting?

Those roles are currently deemed unnecessary, however they might open in the future.

When will the development of the first game start?

The development will start after we get an idea and have enough members for it.

Username: @Sohta_kun
Position: Composer
Why do you want to join us?
I might not be *that* good at coding, but then I thought maybe I could try composing, which I have some experience with. I thought this could be a great opportunity to improve my skills. I might become a programmer when I think I become good enough.
How active will you be?
I'm usually active daily on Scratch, so I'd probably be checking in pretty often, though junior high is starting soon, which might reduce my free time…
How skilled are you at the position you chose?
This is the scary part… While I might not be the best, I'm still far from the worst.
Proof of work (if possible):
Songs composed for my Sheep SmasherS series (some of them are pretty bad):
1: Every song
2: Every returning track and the title screen
3: New Song1, Peaceful Beach, Night, and Snowman Dance
4: Title Screen, Final Boss, and every returning track
Notes (optional):
I usually prefer making chiptune. That's pretty much it.

Applications for the Marketing lead have opened! When applying for it, actually use your time on writing the application! Once we get a few applications for it, I will close the position and look at who had the best application.

The marketing lead is responsible for getting players, thinking about what kinds of trailers of games and other teasers will be made, and more.

I also made a new position called Trailer maker. This person will design and possibly make all of the trailers.

Why do you want to join us? It's been awhile since I've collaborated on a project. So I'd like to use my art skills for other people's work instead of just my own.
How active will you be? I check Scratch everyday. So basically, all-day!
How skilled are you at the position you chose? I'm decent. I have a good understanding of how light and shadow works on simple shapes, but I am starting to learn more about using hard and soft edges to create form.

Yes. I just need a reference for what 2D artstyle you'd like me to emulate.

What type of artists? I I like doing minimalist vector art (art by me in my signature ) and I can also do pixel art.

I am not very sure yet but the art on your signature seems very good!
