Are you a fan of Hebes! by @InvalidProject? Excited to see the new remake? Want to help me bring MakeCode’s talent to people outside the forum, and prove that MakeCode games can succeed on the world’s leading PC game marketplace!?
I’m fundraising to publish Hebes and make it the first MakeCode game on Steam!
(HUGE thanks to @InvalidProject and @UnsignedArduino for their contributions to this project! I’m so incredibly thankful that we could launch this project, and regardless of the outcome, I’m excited to keep pushing the boundaries of MakeCode! )
The fundraiser will officially launch on March 15th, 2026 at 12:00 PM EDT! It will end a month after that on April 14th.
Any amount of support is very much appreciated, even if you can’t donate! (Such as following the project page, sharing it with friends, or just cheering us on! ) Please be responsible-- only donate if you are old enough and have the ability to do so.
We have allowed this post because there was nothing outlined in the code of conduct or otherwise to prohibit this, but this will be the only post of this nature that we will allow. We discussed as a team and decided that we’ll be updating our terms of use to include restricting any commercial advertising posts. The update is here under the Terms of Service. Thanks all!
Wow.
I didn’t expect that a funny little joke I made encouraged and flourished what is quite possibly the biggest milestone in MakeCode history.
I wish this campaign well.
Someone get this into the history books!
Very happy to see that the new rule is only banning fundraising and not banning games on steam!
@randomuser I’m guessing this is to cover the $100 needed to upload a game to Steam. Any plans if the goal is passed? Kickstarter doesn’t seem to have an option to prevent that.
P.S.
In the Kickstarter description, it’s “Glean”. “Gleam” is not the word you’re looking for. Jedi hand wave…
If we pass our goal (which would be SPECTACULAR!!) i’m going to let @InvalidProject decide! I’ve heard they might use any extra funds to put towards supporting other community or indie games.
Also, thank you for the P. S., I’ve fixed the spelling now
I love this idea! I can’t wait for the game to come out! Sadly i don’t have a steam account but i know that you guys will enjoy the game! So please enjoy the game for me!
Steam accounts are free and the game will be free as well! Also you can play the game with the normal Makecode link, that’s not going away. The Steam version is mostly to prove that it’s possible/that Makecode is a “real” game engine, whatever that means.
Wow. I didnt think something like this would even be possible. We’ve already raised 80 bucks! That’s amazing! I’ll be sure to download the game as soon as its on steam. I love how supportive this community is, and even though I can’t contribute myself, uh… Go team!
I’m so incredibly thankful that we could launch this project, and regardless of the outcome, I’m excited to keep pushing the boundaries of MakeCode!
