Hello @Sapperlight!
It has, indeed, been quiet around here. We have all had our full attention on the launch of Alpha Season 4 and are excited for all the upcoming UGC launches 
Happy to answer your questions!
Will there be another Builder’s Challenge this year? With Alpha Season 4 running from now until the holiday season, we need to be able to budget our time between building and playing.
There are no other Builders’ Challenges planned for 2024. The challenge requires careful consideration of feedback and data collected throughout the event. We aim to communicate more on this as soon as we can while continuing an open conversation for shaping the next BC.
We are planning something else for creators, though, but I can’t reveal that just yet 
Will there be a Game Jam before year end?
There certainly will! We’re looking at a timeframe within 2 weeks 
*(dates subject to change)
What progress is the team making on “the form”, ie those experiences that were omitted from the rewards list for Builder’s Challenge 2?
There will be communication here on the Forum once all requests have been reviewed! These are still being processed.
Is there a general timeline for the release of GM 0.11? As Creators, this has an effect on the first two bullets.
Swapping the last 2 bullets as my reply on the Creators Program is longer.
Game Maker 0.11 is planned to launch some time after Alpha Season 4. This will not affect the upcoming Game Jam, but as the timeline looks currently, it is most likely that 0.11 will be live with the next Builders’ Challenge. I can give you no definite answer on this, however.
Are there any updates on The Creator Program, and when should we expect to see implementation begin?
As soon as possible, I will create a separate post for this topic as there is much to communicate! The launch of AS4 took away some focus temporarily to ensure a smooth start.
However, the results of the recent survey are still under review. I promised an update on these key results which I regretfully acknowledge is late due to unforeseen additional tasks. This will be communicated as soon as possible, but I can say for now that the results are being used diligently to define and prioritize what our focus will be for the next months.
Implementation of the Creators Program will happen as we roll out the verification badges. These badges constitute the framework of the program and signifies your official membership. They also influence several other elements on the website, in creator events, and so on. Initially, a pilot test is planned to make sure that all works smoothly and any initial feedback is taken into account before publicly launching the badges and process behind it for the whole creator community.
In the meantime, we are also carefully considering the balance between short- and long-term solutions to ensure that our creator community receives necessary support and communication while we work on high-impact and time-consuming initiatives.
While the rewards for AS4 aren’t earth shattering, I suspect most of us will be active in the season to celebrate our fellow Creators and to see what others are building. Having the ability to plan and develop timelines with the above information would be very valuable.
Thank you for following up! I hope you are enjoying the season - look out for TSBCreators on X where we post about UGC launches (and more) each week
