October Update 
Hi everyone!!
The feedback from my recent poll was very helpful in deciding which projects to implement! ![]()
While the results of the poll was close, Iâve decided to start on the âpublishing a Makecode game on steamâ project and ânew tutorialsâ project first, and then take on the rest of the ideas in later months!
Whatâs the plan for next month?
1st: Create a video tutorial on a requested topic! If you have any recommendations on what youâd like to see a tutorial on, iâd love to hear them in a reply! (Perhaps arrays?
)
2nd: Find which Makecode Arcade game to publish on steam! ![]()
Iâll be looking for the highest-quality games on Makecode and also taking any suggestions as replies in this thread. (You can 100% nominate your game!!)
There are a few requirements for the chosen game:
1. The game *can't* rely on people already knowing the MakeCode community!
The purpose of publishing the game on steam is to reach players who donât know about or use MakeCode. This means the game shouldnât rely on a userâs knowledge of the langauge or forums.
Unfortunately, games like âThe Makecode Forumsâ would be confusing to someone who has no idea who the characters are or how the forum works.
However, itâs okay if the game includes references to MakeCode as long as its still playable without knowing MakeCode (For example, if you had a user on the forum cameo in your game).
2. The game owner(s) must be okay with having their game modified and published.
We need permission before publishing the game. In addition, other users must be allowed to collaborate on improving the game. (So that developers other than the original owner might fix bugs, add features, update art, etc)
3. The game doesn't contain copyrighted material (Like fangames from sonic, undertale, minecraft, fnaf, etc).
Steam doesnât allow games to use other IPs without permission!
Other than that, there are no rules- We could choose a game of any genre, artstyle, skill level, anything! ![]()
