For some reason, this is like sad and scary at the same time. TurboWarp said that the Scratch Team is finally making unshared projects inaccessible to Scratch, which means nobody can see unshared projects anymore.
What will I do about this?
Pretty much, there is really nothing you can do about it anymore. And I don’t really know how to view unshared or private projects anymore, especially since this concern was published just today.
How can I share projects outside of Scratch?
The only way to do that is to make a website where you can upload an HTML to it, but I got to find website that can do that. If you want to share the HTML website with your project, then make a project in Scratch that has the link to your HTML project. Be sure not to put anything else, like a direct links to somewhere else, or else the Scratch Team will get very suspicious of you.
Regarding to unremixable projects:
You might want to be aware of this since the Scratch Team literally FORCES you to make your projects open-source. If you don’t feel comfortable about people taking your assets and remix them, that’s alright. I know how you feel about people taking your stuff without permission, especially if your content is so good/beautiful. Uploading a non-remixable HTML project to Scratch is possible but it is likely to be taken down. To reduce the chances of your project being taken down, DO NOT mention that you can’t remix the project. Instead, just act like it’s just a normal project and encourage people to love, favorite, and comment on the Scratch page as normal.
So, is this inaccessible unshared Scratch projects a good thing?
It’s both yes and no. And I can tell you more below:
Pro:
Your unshared projects will be completely private from now on.
Con:
Unshared projects that is specifically published for TurboWarp will no longer be playable.
So, this is just a heads-up, guys. If you have unshared projects and you published the project ID specifically for TurboWarp, then please come up with plan B and find another way to share private projects in a different way. But we don’t know if this is actually going to happen. TurboWarp will keep you posted in this documentary: https://docs.turbowarp.org/unshared-projects
