I'd just like to plug the Convention article - full of allsorts of news.
Of course, there's loads of other good stuff in the newsletter. My personal highlight is Andrew's (VanB) use of limb collision in his tutorial, definitely worth the subscription fee* alone.

BiggAdd has continued to do all of the graphics for everything convention-related
And if you didn't know, Rich Davey still keeps his hand in - all of the covers since I started have been his contribution.

*The newsletter is of course free!

Sorry Zeke, I've told BatVink I should be able to do a tutorial for next month. I'll be getting a new headset, so my voice will be a little clearer.

Another great issue, I have to say that CSG looks pretty exciting! I'll have to get a copy of that Dark Source.

Good Job!

Lots of talk about CSG commands finally being outed in V7 but they have actually been around since V5.8 which is around 3 years ago, just undocumented. Imagine how much better DBPro games could have been if the CSG commands were finalised and documented years ago.

Boo!

The tutorial was again a great feature (I always go straight to the tutorials I think), and I'm especially excited about social arcade.(I might even actually join facebook, just for that.)

I enjoyed the featured games (or the video gallery), especially Ripple.

Thanks and GL with future newsletters!

I saw my web traffic increased yesterday, and I was wondering why. Now I know. Thanks a lot for the article about the MPL3D Solar System update.
Many many thanks
Great newsletter, all the best for the Convention (I'm afraid I cannot attend)

The tutorial was good this month. Along with adding the fpsc store and making it accessible to DBP users.
