The battle for makecode island (COMP)

20 of makecode’s finest users will compete in 25 challenges. Each challenge (each month), the users are to create a game from scratch based on a specific theme given to them. every challenge will end in elimination.
So, what’s different from most game jams is that there are rejoins, you guys can vote on every elim and debuts.
debuts are like UAT2 applicant reserves.
type I WANT in the comments if you want to join.

If there’s 25 challenges and 1 challenge per month that’s over 2 years. By then I likely won’t be using makecode at all.

Why the pessimism? I can see myself using MakeCode well into the future, years into the future even, at least surface level browsing if anything at all. But using in none the less

I wasn’t trying to be rude, I just think 2 years is kind of a big time commitment for a game jam.

Hey! Love the plan of what your hosting. But I’m speaking from experience when I say please try to keep the competition squeezed into a timely manner. This, from what I’m looking at is expected to be a 2+ year competition, which is in my opinion a bit daunting to potential participants. So try getting that down to maybe 2-6 months of challenges.

But other then that, I can’t wait to see how this goes!

“making something from scratch” just means making a game from nothing (no template) :joy:
It is a MakeCode forum, after all
