October Update :jack_o_lantern:

Hi everyone!!

The feedback from my recent poll was very helpful in deciding which projects to implement! :blush:
While the results of the poll was close, I’ve decided to start on the ‘publishing a Makecode game on steam’ project and ‘new tutorials’ project first, and then take on the rest of the ideas in later months!

What’s the plan for next month?
1st: Create a video tutorial on a requested topic! If you have any recommendations on what you’d like to see a tutorial on, i’d love to hear them in a reply! (Perhaps arrays? :thinking: )
2nd: Find which Makecode Arcade game to publish on steam! :star_struck:
I’ll 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 don’t know about or use MakeCode. This means the game shouldn’t rely on a user’s knowledge of the langauge or forums.
Unfortunately, games like “The Makecode Forums” would be confusing to someone who has no idea who the characters are or how the forum works.
However, it’s 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 doesn’t 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! :eyes:

Poll time!
