The Secret Santer has begun!! These are always a lot of fun, so make sure you sign up ASAP! :3


The second issue of the eZine has been released! Wyatt has been doing a great job of formatting them and making the backgrounds, so be sure to thank him! Some of the articles are really interesting, too, and the word search is always fun (although I always only know a few myself), so be sure to take a look. :wink:

Also, if you're interested in having your advertisement in the upcoming eZine and you're a sponsor, take a look at this topic.

And we finally have proof that you should love us completely now! :eek: (There have been some changes in the forum organization which will hopefully make things easier for everyone.)

In introductions, we have Septimus84 joining us. Also, dust, a.k.a. Twirly has a new graphics card and can be on the forums again!

RadethDart has completed a game in Game Maker called 2052 Space Journey. It's a top-down action scroller that looks pretty good and RadethDart could use your opinions on how to improve, so take a look! ;)

Also, Dustin has completed a game that's he's been working on for two years called Alchemy Arcanum: Chapter 1. The battle system looks really interesting and the alchemy system sounds pretty cool. The video he made was excellent, so I recommend taking the time to watch it.

Basic Plot
A group of bandits, on an ordinary raid, discover a secret meant to be edited out of the history books. Following the directions, Durgas, a demon that was sealed away fifty years ago, is awakened. Gilden, an elder that was part of the sealing away of Durgas, has lost his wife to the bandits, but something begins to trouble him even more. When a mine is overcome with monsters, Graham of the Bristendil army goes to investigate. Deep in the mine, he discovers that the miners were not the first people to ever go into the cave. The secrets of the ancients begin to be discovered, and learning about this forgotten past is crucial to defeating Durgas, as well as the greater evil that has been awakened... the one that originally created Durgas with the arcane knowledge of the ancients' power.







Also in the realm of projects, ChaosProductions started a topic for an upcoming game called Ill Will. It looks like it has the potential to be incredibly interesting, so I'd recommend keeping an eye on this topic. :smile:

There are also two concepts that you could give your opinions on: Mirror ~The Mystery is in the Reflection~ by SorceressKyrsty and The Simple Gear by Tachiba. The concept phase is the most important, so I'm sure they would appreciate any critiques you can provide. :)

NamKazt made an amazing platform script for XP. It wasn't posted this week but it's too awesome to not point out. :D

And finally, Alexander Morou needs your opinions on a couple of ideas he's had.

In Visual Art Analysis, we have a couple of interesting threads! Bacon started a Photography Thread, so if you've got any cool photos make sure you post them here! Also, badmonur is trying out japanese-style art. It's not his usual style, but it looks really good. :eek:

In Music Analysis, Firgof Umbra found a cool keyboard program to use if you don't have your musical equipment with you. Also, Atlet (moog) started a Music and WIP Dump Thread. Atlet's been doing a great job of getting more activity in Music Analysis, so I encourage anyone to visit - whether you're a musician, interested in learning how to compose, or just want to give some feedback on what's been posted.

In the Literary world, Velocir_X received a strange book in the mail: Pro Evolution - Guideline for an Age of Joy. There's a lot of mystery surrounding it, so take a look. :eek:

Also I posted a story and I need your opinions on it! Read it now or I will claw you! >:|

Commodore Whynot started a History Talk thread in General Discussion. I have never liked history but those who are interested might find the topic interesting. He also wants to know what you think has been the Event of the Year here at HBGames.

In the Rec Room Venetia wrote this amazing story!

There's a new Tatsunoko vs Capcom game that's planned to be released on January 26th.

There's also an Iron Man 2 movie in production that's scheduled to come out next year. And finally you can read Petros' Top 5 Movies of 2009 and give your opinions on what the best movies were this year!



Uh-oh it's getting dark outside. >_> *grabs a shovel out of the shed*
 
Thanks for the compliments. ^_^

On the bright side, we didn't get half of what they were predicting we'd get. They were saying 5"-8" and we got maybe 2", so yay! :toot:
