Here's a bit of a "Yay" moment;
Ages ago my first attempt at OpenGL rendering in RM started with drawing a triangle to the title screen, well now I can draw anything.
This is a test of the mesh rendering API I've been working on.
Here's a rundown of how it works;
Supports texturing as well, so you can slap a bitmap onto whatever mesh you want to draw.
Next step is to write a simple matrix API so that mesh can be transformed about the screen, then version 1.0 is ready.

Ruby:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Initialise
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set how vertex data is read by shader
shader_material.SetAttributeIndex( "vertex_position", 0 )
shader_material.SetAttributeIndex( "vertex_colour", 1 )
# Make mesh in memory [ x, y, r, g, b ]
cpu_mesh = [ -0.5, -0.5, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0,
0.5, -0.5, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0,
0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
-0.5, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ]
# Upload mesh to GPU memory as Vertex Buffer Object
gpu_mesh = VertexBuffer.Alloc
gpu_mesh.UploadVertexArray( cpu_mesh )
gpu_mesh.DescribeBuffer( 4, [2, 3] ) # 4 vertices with 2 positions and 3 colours
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Update
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Activate shader
shader_material.UseProgram
# Render VBO as a triangle fan
gpu_mesh.DrawArrays( VertexBuffer::DRAW_TRIANGLE_FAN )
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Dispose
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Destroy vertex memory on GPU
gpu_mesh.Dealloc

Sorry I can't give you more feedback Xilef, it's just a bit too nerd for me to be able to grasp.
So no video this time (actually there is but it's nothing special) so here's a couple neat Screenshots.
And yeah here's the video i guess it's just a repaint of an older one.

Guys, I want to post pics of the app I'm working on, but I've been so busy lately...

@Xilef: That is genuinely exciting! So is the API loaded from Win32 or something? Are you thinking about supporting shaders?
I've recently gotten working my second attempt at a Tilemap editor in Unity. I tried this once before but it got overly complicated and broke. This time I've tried to keep the interfaces simpler and it's in git in case I bork it again. It still needs some work to do everything I want, but I now have working tools to prove that I can generate a full 3D mesh for lighting/collision/physics while still getting a pixel perfect look (using a weird camera projection)!

Apologies for the low color quality in this screenshot, but it reduced the image size to 30% of full colour and I don't like taking up bandwidth.
I know there's some tearing that I need to look into. Pixel-perfect rendering in 3d is harder than it needs to be

Awesome! I think. As far as I know the only reason not to use the programmable pipeline is compatibility. Which shouldn't be a problem. So now not only speed up RPG Maker stuff, but we can also write shaders for even more neat effects. That prospect makes me seriously reconsider finishing some of my stuff in RPG Maker.

Cool, Juan!
I'm doing some rough prototyping of my game. Working on getting the basic mechanics implemented now.
Mind control ability.

Among other things, you can make enemies kill themselves, but the actual cast time will be a lot longer.

Creating terrain effects. I'll use the same technique for AoE targeting and things like that.

I really like the design of those, Juan!
And Peri, I love those little videos! Did you mention using Unity or something like that? I feel like, when my team and I get a bit more serious about game development in the future, we might try to randomly learn another game engine. o.o

Yeah, I'm making the prototype in Unity, although I'm strongly considering switching to Unreal for the real game. Unity is cool, but the bar of entry is a lot higher than with RM. That said, if you can code, it's easy and powerful to use. I wouldn't recommend making a 3D game, though, even though I'm doing it myself. 3D art is very difficult and time-consuming to make.

Isn't pixel art time-consuming as well?
It's taking us, well Star who's doing most of the art, at least an hour to do one object (a barrel, or a tree) a day. o.o

Pixel art is an order of magnitude easier, trust me. Not only is 3D art extremely time-consuming to make, it also requires a great deal of technical knowledge first to make and then to make actually look good. And the bar for good 3D is so much higher than the bar for good 2D because gamers are spoiled on AAA games.
