Ethan8games

Ethan8games was a Scratch mapper from around 2015 to 2016. He was the first confirmed Scratch mapper, having created his "Future of the world part 1: war's & war's" project on February 16th, 2015, over 10 months before Seany10, commonly credited with being the first Scratch mapper, created his "Alternate Future of Scratch Islands, Ep.1" project on December 18th.

Ethan returned to the community in November 2019.

Early Scratch career
Ethan8Games created his first Scratch project on January 7th, 2015. Throughout 2015, he would create many projects, mostly unrelated to mapping, and many based on FNAF.

He became close friends with Seany10.

Mapperdona
After Seany10 left scratch, Ethan became the leader of Mapperdonia. While initially active, he eventually began to visit scratch less and less. In April 2017, Ethan accidentally banned the user "TheSwedishEmpire". This caused people to start calling him Authoritarian, and they messaged him asking for "TheSwedishEmpire" to be unbanned, however, during this period Ethan was completely inactive and was unaware that this was even happening. Eventually, due to a lack of response from Ethan, most of the group's members began to flee to Mapperkommuniti.

On May 11th, Ethan returned and was confused by all the drama, eventually leaving permanently and only using Scratch to play a few games once every few months.

Return
Ethan returned to the community in late November 2019, and is now active, uploading a test mapping project called "quick war test".

Alternate History account
In 2016, Ethan made an alt account called "AlternateHistory", this account was made for projects revolving around Alternate History. Sometime between 2016-2017 this account was banned* for trolling and profanity.

Despite being banned for several years now, several projects are still accessible for some reason, here are the links:

WW1 (Central Power victory)

Communist German civil war

Alternate History of Etho 1

Alternate History of Etho 2

Alternate Future of Groulus part 2

*personal note from Ethan, if you have a saved archive of the AlternateHistory account from 2016 I'd be eternally grateful if you posted a link to it in the comments, this stuff is pretty nostalgic.

History outside of Scratch
Ethan was first introduced to mapping around 2012/13, after watching a youtube video by Ninety9Balloons called "World war 3". Ethan got involved in the youtube mapping community around mid-2015, uploading several mapping videos. By late 2016, he had become largely inactive on scratch to focus on school and Youtube mapping. He would create half a dozen mapping channels over the years, with his most successful having only about 120 subscribers, mostly due to inactivity.
