I can give a summary but it will be quite biased to what i’ve been tuned into! 
- Cozy Game Jam finished, with Invalid as the winner!
- Heist Game Jam just started and ends this november!
- I was just re-elected president, and last year I was president I released interviews with Sarge, Luke, Invalid, and Lucas if you’re interested!
- Makecode got a HUGE update this march, with a lot of new features! Plus the first Makecode-Con digital conference/convention was held!
- Looking at the leaderboard, the few of the most popular games in the past year (In no order) have been Conquest of Duat, Path of Pain, GENA by Pixeldoodle, HEBES by Invalidproject, Arena of Prometheus, Solaris, Tomb of the Mask (Makecode Edition), and Battle Zenith (I’m probably missing a lot here, feel free to recommend additions!)
- A few popular extensions were the Sprite Walls Extension, Arcade-overworld Extension (For transitioning between tilemaps), SAMMY Text-To-Speech/Speech Synthesizer Extension, Soft body/Rope Extension, Lanterns Extension, and Easing by Chimbrodapro
- Two new MakeCode websites are up, Makecode Game Browser by Brohann (On which you can see almost every game made in makecode!!) and SAMMY’s website
- Coder King 4 finished with me as the winner and Coder King 5 is going on now, The Unique-A-Thon 2 FINALE is being voted on at the moment (likely with invalid as its winner as well!)
Hopefully this isn’t too much, we missed you on the forums!!
