Welcome to http://www.hbgames.org, the new home of rmxp.org, and welcome to another issue of This Week, which miraculously is more popular than our monthly eZine. For those interested you can view all former This Weeks in it's own board here: viewforum.php?f=185
Speaking of the eZine, a new issue has been released:
This month's issue features a guide for naming towns, an article about risks and rewards, and an interview with shadow of http://www.slacked.org.

Board Changes
New theme: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=69812
A new board has been added for general game making program support, for things that don't already have a board. Might be Multimediafusion 2, might be just game modding.
Link is here.
We'll see how active it gets before deciding what subforums it needs.
The Symposium has been merged with General Discussion, into this new board. They are both essentially the same now that Rec Room is so popular. Just consider anything serious to go in General Discussion, and anything chilled to go in Rec Room. Symposium topics are still allowed (and very much encouraged!), but it looked bad and was a waste of space to have a board that got one, maybe two, posts a week in taking up so much room.
Articles from the eZines and the mainsite are now duped into a board on the forums just in case nobody reads the mainsite (evil buggers). Find it here.

A change from previous format, the following completed games have either been released or have been topics of much discussion this week:

Commodore Whynot has created a thread about creating games with the Unreal III Engine.
What are you doing in game making at the moment?
Gaming
What are your opinions on the Tekken series of games? Which is your favourite? Do you button mash, or do you have skills or a strategy to winning better?
Have you ever played Guild Wars, the CORPG? Where did you start your character? Which is your favourite campaign? Are you looking forward to... Guild Wars 2?
Miles wants to know, what is your favourite RPG? Judging by this threads activity we all have some opinions on the matter!
The video games forum is the place to discuss all commercial games. If there isn't a thread you can always create one, or post in an old one. Your first post doesn't need to be detailed if you aim it in such a way as to spur up a discussion! If not then post some info and screenies, it doesn't hurt anything.
General Discussion
Spooky has some problems...
Wyatt thought he'd solved some problems...
Dadevster solved his problems... by spraying them with an invisible, unfeelable, amazingly magical coating. They should call it the Emperor's New Teflon...
Wyatt has a drinking problem...
Emos always have problems...
If the Earth had rings would it cause problems?...
