I admire this community. It’s a hidden gem, to be honest. And not a single forum on the internet is anything close to how kind and helpful this forum can be. I’m stepping back from the MakeCode engine entirely, including the forums. The engine has allowed me to bring so many ideas into reality, and I’m very thankful for that. As to my reasoning, to keep it concise—I lost interest. The engine isn’t the most optimized, so large projects aren’t fun to make after a while (since the entire workspace becomes slow, beyond usability after a couple hundred blocks), and the forums aren’t fun to be on anymore, which kind of sucks. And all of that has weakened my passion for developing games, as a whole. I announced the continuation of Unique-A-Thon last year. But at this point, that isn’t going to happen. Correct me if I’m wrong but collaborations are essentially dead here, and I (along with most of y’all, let’s be real) completely forgot that CK3 is still going on anyways, there’s no reason to make another competition. So that’s it, it was a fun ride everyone. I wish you the best in everything you do, MakeCode or not. Thanks to all the mods and employees that make MakeCode possible, to Microsoft, and to all of you. Farewell, y’all ❤. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.makecode.com/t/i-m-stepping-away-from-makecode/25809)._
