Top Makecode Game

And nether is Operius (So don’t assume i’m taking sides)

[RobbyZero]

The top MakeCode game according to views is Racquetball.

[Josef]

Imo the best is tmf3

[DangerNoodle]

@RobbyZero is right, it’s racquetball, chims makecode forums, and pixel smash.

[pecan4]

Nope! The most clicked makecode game is raptor run! It’s also is the most viewed topic with a whopping 206k views!

I hate to say this, but tmcf isn’t that big of a game. it hasn’t even gotten 500 clicks yet. I’m not saying its bad or anything but its not very high with clicks… Sorry Prof.@ChimbroDaPro














I feel so old knowing all of this stuff. [old man voice] I remember the good old days when ocarina of time, the raycasting extension, fnaf camera test, blocky splatoon and dungeon were new… those were the days.

Community Game Info

We have exiting new info about the up and coming Community Game, I’ll let CopySprite take it away

@CopySprite

@Sonicthecooldguy There was going to be but there ended up being too much for one game and it’s now planned for the sequel.
@Elixir Hmmmmm I wonder where someone who said they come from a lab is…
@MeatballDev Obviously space.
@DangerNoodle Explain how this would make sense, I haven’t thought of what the final boss will look like yet so I’m actually considering this.

@CopySprite

Okay location information time!
Dimension #1: The MakeCode Forums.
The MakeCode forums by @ChimbroDaPro is… The MakeCode fourms by @ChimbroDaPro but with a few added features.

Dimension #2: Makeheavens (Still thinking of a good name)
This is where sprite town is and sprite town has an arcade with over 10 games! (There’s 11)

Dimension #3: Pixel Planet
Pixel Planet is where you’ll meet Diego! (And the other spheroids)

Dimension #4: The gateway to continue.
You need to go back to Pixel Planet and get a code to pass though the gate.

Dimension #5: Cybermania
You’ve made it to Cyber City, visit the city’s shops (Like the hat store) or look for this dimension’s gateway.

Dimension #6: Pokemon
By now you’ve probably figured out that all forum members were sent to these worlds, so your goal is to find @Mega0star01, @Robotosaurus and maybe get a useful item like a pokeball on the way.

Dimension #7: Hoplings.
That’s right Hoplings is a world too.
I still haven’t thought of what you’re going to do here. (Other than platform around.)

Dimension #8: Neotopia
Here’s Neo City:

This is where you meet Spark. (The Glitchy guy bellow this text)

Dimension #9: THE CLOUDS
Home of Chezman.

Dimension #10: Hyrule
This is where the floating islands are which is not THE CLOUDS.
@pecan4 NPC

Hehehe… Also @Jedi steals the master sword.

Dimension #11: Space/THE MOON
@Redsprite and our space themed users are found here.
Also you might see something you should run away from.

Dimension #12: Science and computer lab
More than 3 members are here but…
There’s also a really powerful boss.

Dimension #13: Return to Makeheaven
You need to find the dojo (Because an NPC told you to)
And learn ninja/samurai stuff.

Dimension #14: Lost in the Void
The Void is dangerous and equally mysterious place filled with… Mostly nothing it’s a void.
Here you’ll see things you didn’t know could exist. Can you make it out alive?

Final Dimension
Here it is the final dimension the climax point of the story, where you find out who the villain is.
No I’m not going to tell you anything else this is the finale.

Anyway @ChimbroDaPro there’s me talking about other games part one.

New Month, New Jam

Its a new month, NOVEMBER (At least for me), and this means a new Game Jam, I don’t really know but I am speculating about a Thanksgiving Game Jam

1 Year on Makecode, Badge Missing

I joined Makecode 1 year ago and WHERE IS MY BADGE

New Game from Meatball??? (HINT HINT)

So I am thinking about making a Stargate Game (Listening to the Soundtrack RN)
Not confirmed but MAYBE

Potential Downfall of Scratch

As the History of Makecode has Taught us, When the Popular Leave, the Fans leave as well
And this might be happening with scratch as for some reason, I have been unable to go on the Profile of the Popular Griffpatch, This could mean a possible exodus for scratch which could be great for makecode in the long run

[CopySprite]

This is a pretty good report. (Not on channel 0 standards but still good) But… There is no possible way the next game jam will be a thanksgiving jam this is a real game jam that needs a real theme like the “Wild Jam” which was a absolute failure of a topic by me.
Plus thanksgiving was almost a month ago for me.
