Clicknite

Basic Info
Clicknite was a game from Monkey Studios. It was Monkey Studios' first-ever released game that was cancelled. The game was based on Fortnite. The game was developed just as Fortnite was getting its start and was released on Fortnite's first birthday.

Scratch
Clicknite was created using Scratch. Scratch is the program that Monkey Studios had used for its previous games, Criminal Cases and Ultimate Pong. Soon after the release of Clicknite, Monkey Studios announced that the game marked the peak of what they could do on Scratch. They announced soon after that they would be moving to a new program to create games in the future. Clicknite soon stopped receiving updates as Monkey Studios stepped back from Scratch and focused on other programs. Monkey Studios announced later that they would be transferring Criminal Cases and Ultimate Pong over to the other program. Months later, Ultimate Pong got its 2.0 update, which included an entire reboot of the game. The game had been completely scrapped and remade with major improvements. It was then released on Kongregate rather than the MS Website. Criminal Cases never got its reboot, even though it had been worked on. MS announced that they would not be rebooting Criminal Cases after all, but instead continue to update it through Scratch. Clicknite stopped receiving updates, and for awhile, Scratch was only used by MS for Criminal Cases updates.

In 2020, however, Monkey Studios returned to Scratch after its 3.0 update. The company had been using the 3.0 update for a few months to update Criminal Cases, but they hadn't created a whole game from scratch before using it. At first, the company deemed the new layout of the program as unbearable. Despite this, in January of 2020, Monkey Studios announced that they would be returning once more for their 2020 game, to be called Monkstache Pizzaria. Although they still disliked the layout, the company agreed that, since the update, Scratch had more to offer them than they realized.
