| Nothing to do this weekend? Check out our 48 Hour RPG design contest, starting tomorrow! The theme of the contest is completion. |

| I thought it was about time we had a news update! A interesting looking contest has just started over at Retro Remakes. Participants have six weeks or so to create a Top-Down 2D Dungeon game. You can read the rules over at Retro Remakes in this blog post, or discuss it on our forums here. |

|
| The voting period has now started. On the contest page you can choose your top three out of the five entries that managed to come up with a release. Echo has listed the entries with their download links on the forum. Voting will be possible until at least Monday 26th. |

At least five participants in the competition have asked for another week, and so far nobody has objected. Hence, the competition has been extended until March 19th. This is it though, we can't have this take forever. :-)
Once we get to March 19th, I expect everybody who finished something to post about his entry in a forum thread that will be opened, and to update the download link of the project on RPGDX. I will then mark who qualifies to enter voting, after which there will be at least one week during which votes can be cast. |

 The community has asked for it, and did quite a lot of the initial organization. That's why now, RPGDX is doing a good old competition again, like we used to do 2-3 years ago! The theme of this contest is gothic & horror, and you have one month to finish your entry. Can you resist Lilith's Enticement?
As usual, subscribing to the contest requires that you are signed up to RPGDX and then add a new project (from the "user page" link in the top right). You can then register this project with the contest on the contest page. The contest is already starting in 2 days, but subscribing will be possible for a bit longer.
Update: The competition has been extended until the 19th of March! |

| Kambou is a tactical RPG that takes place in Japan, with a story narrated through the use of still photographs. The project began late in 2006, and has progressed significantly since then. There are now 12 functional character classes, 11 battlefields, 12 items complete with sound effects and battle animation effects, 24 different combos, music, and brand new enemy AI (the one in older versions would be better described as "artificial stupidity"), and many more small fixes and updates. I hope you like it. Please be sure to let me know what you think. You can check out the game details at the game's website. |

| The full version of Lynn's Legacy has finally been released. Conceived sometime in mid-2003, the game has been in serious development for about a year and a half. It contains eight dungeons, four overworld areas, and five chapters. Inspired by such SNES classics as the Soul Blazer series and Zelda 3, this game is a throwback to the golden years of 2D action-RPGs. |

| Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. Three weeks ago, Tiled 0.6.0 was released. This release brought internationalization, a stamp brush, a JSON exporter, a configuration rewrite and lots of fixes. This weekend, a bugfix release was made to plug some issues people had been having with this new release. Details can be found on the website. |

| Bah, seven years is too long to work on a game. Thanks to all the people along the way: Elemental, Gavan, Miguel Sternberg, Vanethian, Josiah Tobin, and all the long time testers. |

The first Lynn's Legacy demo has been released. It's been highly polished to the point where we're happy releasing what we have so far-- Originally there were to be no demos, but it seems that things have changed. Check out the project page for more information, and to try the demo.

It's been a while since a new version of TMW was announced here, the last one being 0.0.11 half a year ago. A lot changed since then, at least from a developer perspective. From the user perspective it's pretty much still the same game, only a bit more polished.
Relatively recent we have added dynamic updating of game data, meaning the client can download updates to maps, images, items, etc. when necessary. We have also greatly improved our support for OpenGL, which allows TMW to run at very decent framerate on very decent hardware. Additions to the world include a casino and an inn, as well as another cave and an extension to the desert. Numerous other small improvements have been made, but too many to mention here.
Now that this release is out the door the plan is to really start going on our own server. Using eAthena as our server is not satisfying because it just tries to be a Ragnarok Online clone. While the game is playable, most of the fun is still in development. We can always use more developers in either server, client or world development, so don't hesitate to visit our IRC channel when you're interested.
