I heard from a thread that all community games need to start with a base or people will start losing motivation

> Instead of expecting other people to do the hard work why not do it yourself? I keep seeing topics like this which have literally no starting input, expecting other people to magically be motivated and inspired from a random call to collaboration. If you make a great base to work off, people will naturally want to join and continue to work on it. Be more proactive, things won’t materialise out of nowhere.

So, I made a base game here

Even a little thing helps the game.  
One tile, one short music loop, one idea, you are still contributing.

I hope people will join this community game.  
Thanks a lot!

Hey, I don’t think a community game like this will actually work, but I have an idea for something close that I will be implementing in my [upcoming game](https://forum.makecode.com/t/message-received/42159), that might work better than all the things I have seen so far. I will be posting updates of my progress on the linked topic. Good luck though!

if I have time I’ll help debug and try to help optimize things, although I do plan to try to work on my own project, so @ me if you need to debug/optimize.

Also, is there a way to overlay sprites (such as the toolbar) on the screen without having them go off screen when the player reaches the edge of the map?

I fixed a bug where you can’t play the game from the main menu if you pick default, and or i was gonna try to check the rest of the code for unnecessary blocks, but there’s to much code for that and its easter so Ima do that later.

I used the camera’s x and y variables in the scenes section. It’s very simple actually when you think about it.

Thank you! @top_hat_lord and @VoxelMaster64 That helped a lot! I made a new version using that with skins!

Items:  
Egg (Chance to be layed by chicken)  
Raw beef (Dropped from killing cows)  
Wooden Pickaxe (Craft from 3 logs)  
Renamed “Basic Dye“ to “Red Dye“

> **UI Improvements**
>
> Added smoother movement for the selector  
> Added a “hand“ in the bottom right corner which shows the item the player is holding
> 
> Thanks to @top_hat_lord the skins are here  
> and @VoxelMaster64 now the sprites are overlayed using the camera!
