Hello Readers! I don't know if anyone else is ready for September to be over and done with, but mine was insanely busy, and I'm looking forward to nice and relaxing October. Oh wait. I hinted earlier that GIAD was coming in October... More on that sometime next week! For now, here is news that actually happened:

Bug have been squashed quite frequently over the past couple beta versions as Lummox JR looks to slap the stable label on 511 and move forward to 512. SEE_BLACKNESS is a recently added sight flag in topdown mode. The gamepad code has been optimized, and is under review for usability improvements. For the webclient, gamepad support and custom splash screens are on the list as well.

Sigrogana Legend 2 progressed to version 1.63, sharing a collection of new features and fixes. Inactive players will now be evicted from their homes, new recipes have been added to the cookbook, and marksman can now choose a balanced progression.
AlexandraErin launched a server for RealmLike. RealmLike is rougelike with randomly generated dungeons. Search out chests and secret passageways as a wizard, clerk, fighter, or rouge. After some feedback, changes were made to the environment, better inventory management, and new skills.
Pixel Realms has extended an invitation for prospective players to sign up to test Severed World in return for their feedback. Severed world is an RPG set in a whimsical world of magic and quirky residents and monsters. Bring your contact and computer information to get signed up!
Manio has shared some information about the impending plague. The Black Death now has potion making, dynamic lighting, safe havens, and interface buttons. While outside avoid the green smog and infected players, or you could join the ranks of the Fell yourself.
Flick is back to working with hexagons, this time from a little different angle. The environment is looking good, and it seems that players can move their pieces around the world, and build their forts.
Tacurumin has been on the ball with Futebol Total lately. Vanity items have been on the list, with the creation of a tool to create overlay states. The shop has been filled with helmets, which will cover up all of the customizable hair styles.
Fallen Legends is undergoing the design phase of development. But Mecha Destroyer JD found the time to add some NPCs to the game, with bits and pieces of how the world came to be. If he is as good with deadlines and he suggests, we'll see a playable demo in just a few days. Check out his site frequently.
Ter13 has been making skills for his recent project. The player can now dash into enemies and bound off of obstructions. They can bash into one another, and soon they will be able to shock enemies as well.
