It has obviously been a huge year with huge events, especially with the Makecode Forums. While we did face huge issues such as _The Mass Exodus_. We would also get to see the rise of some great stuff. This blog post has been made to highlight them all! 2023 led to the rise of many new users on the forums The Coder King Series crowned a new Coder King/Champion this year: [@Brohann](https://forum.makecode.com/u/brohann) with his Makecode Puzzle Challenge! > [@MakeCode Puzzle Challenge](https://forum.makecode.com/t/makecode-puzzle-challenge/21173): > > This won the [Coder king 2](https://forum.makecode.com/t/coder-king-2/16390) competition, so I am sharing it as a topic. I will also release puzzle mode sometime soon. [My project-1\_adobe\_express] [title screen] [gameplay] [character select] Welcome, to Makecode Puzzle Challenge!

Buh bye 2023! In response to @goldtopaz, Coneguy 64 is coming out this year. I’ve done a lot of research on 3D Makecode, but I can’t wrap my head around it- (I genuinely believe I don’t have the mental capacity to make it fully 3D.) I’ve been thinking about making it in 2D, kind of like that old flash game Super Mario 63, but mixed with the Flip sections from Super Paper Mario. ---

You should use the isometric extension, i think the extension has a ton of potential. Maybe like an OG Super Mario RPG type of art style.
