Here it is, the long awaited, somewhat disputed, May newsletter.


http://www.thegamecreators.com/data/newsletter/newsletter_issue_40.html

Quote: "Development activity has been as frenzied as ever, both within TGC towers, and in our community. Results of the Caimen competition are in, with DarkBASIC developed games pulling in many of the top prizes including 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th places out of the top 10 alone! Congratulations also to Grant for coming 3rd in the Shmup Dev contest as well (and kudos to the Laser Assult 3 author for coming 10th, again with a DBPro game). It's really encouraging to see this level of activity, and the quality of the games being produced. Hopefully Upgrade 6, which we release in final this month, will give you the rest of the stability you require to create even more great games in DBPro.

In the newsletter this month we see the release of a new animated sprite pack, part one of a new tutorial series on creating 3D Arcade Environments in your games. Steve Vink concludes his HUD tutorial. There are stacks of FPS Creator related news items, and no less than two competitions. We even take time out to play a little easter game. For those of you eagerly awaiting Dark Physics we present you a small snippet of source code, so you can see how the commands work, plus a screen shot of the new format documentation you can expect to receive with the extension. Release isn't far away now!"

They're selling the animated sprite pack!!!



Come see the WIP!

Just so you know, Rich, the Mech source code link still points to a Sudoku solver in Code snippets.
