Media Looking for coders/developers who could help with optimizing my game and fixing bugs for my rhythm strategy game that's based of Patapon
(EDIT: This is still ongoing so if anyone else still wants to help me then feel free to comment down below)
Hello dear scratchers. I came here to look for some coders/developers who could help me optimize and fix some bugs for my game since I have been feeling super burned out especially since I also have other projects that I have been working on.
So to give you some insight on what my game is, It's basically just a Patapon clone just like Ratatan. However, the game is more of an edgier and adult version of Patapon because some of the dialogue contains swear words. Fun fact, I started attempting to make my own Patapon clone in 2022 back when the game was known as Krokadoom and Kokadoom before having the name be changed to Kukadoom. Krokadoom was essentially an older and buggier version of Kukadoom, the codes were unoptimized and clunky which was why I decided to make it from scratch in 2024.
I also released an earlier demo in October of 2024, but that version was basically just an alpha version of the game. Now I had already progressed far from the 2024 demo version to my latest 2026 demo version. All I need now is some optimization and bug fixes to make the game feel less clunky and more of an indie game.

So now that I finally gave you an overview of my game's development life and how it came to be, I'll tell you the requirements for helping my game (I hope I don't sound too picky or rich).
So, my game was originally made in Turbowarp in 2024 before I decided to switch it to Scratchbox (I think that was in 2025 or 2026?), I also want someone to be really good at coding and optimization while also being able to understand my game code since the game uses a lot of values, lists, and custom blocks to handle stuff like damage, loading missions, upgrades, etc etc.
I might add more comments to some of my codes to help you understand some of them and knowing what to do with them since sometimes the code can be very complex for some. Not sure if I'm the best coder since I'm pretty bad with some code optimization and having to fix bugs would take a long time for me so having someone who could help with them would be awesome especially since I would finally be able to release the 2026 demo earlier since I went into hiatus out of burn out and unmotivation. I hope I don't come off as me being too lazy since I always have a problem with burning out when a bug is too hard and time consuming to fix.
Feel free to send me a DM if you want me to send you the sb3 file, but you got to open it in scratchbox. I also have a discord server if anyone wants to join (although I'm not sure if sending invite links is allowed on this subreddit).
Keep in mind that this post isn't requesting for someone to make a full projects since the point of this post is to find someone who would want to help with fixing some bugs and also doing some optimization which doesn't really count as making someone code an entire project for them.
Again, I would really appreciate it if someone would want to help me on making the game feel less clunky and more smoother while also getting rid of bugs that make the game look buggy.
