@LcAtonal @GameGod We actually generate that section from the games on the forum that are listed as ‘Featured Games’: https://forum.makecode.com/tag/featured-game (sometimes it gets out of date as it is a step we have to run manually, though)

If you wanna post your games separately on here as well, feel free!

We don’t have a regular schedule for game jams, but we have been trying to hold one every three or four months (see the One Room Jam from March and the 5-second Game Jam from last September). We will definitely announce on the forums before we launch the next one!
