The Weekly Gazette 08-10-2025 - DerVVulfman - 08-11-2025 ![]() Welcome dear readers to the latest issue of the Weekly Gazette! Here in the Gazette, we give you the news in brief of what occurred in the past week as well as provide any news happening in Save-Point itself Official Area Announcements and Updates
Last week revealed that another long-running indie game board had closed. But this week, DerVVulfman revealed The new HBGames Archive Board. Opened only this week, it contains over 800 scripts from RPGMaker XP through to VXAce that DerVVulman had already salvaged, though author's name and original post date appears only in the threads themselves. And DerVVulfman admits that there is more work that needs to be done. But he had already updated the Forum Signature Banner to include HBGames as one of the numerous sites archived. Such news was welcome indeed, both CarlosDavila and Ace_V appreciative, Ace_V even finding a splash screen he so desired within the newly formed board. General Chat
The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues within the News of the World as both sides trade shots. Worse yet, Russia opens a website to auction off Ukranian Children they have kidnapped; literal child trafficking. Though US President Trump works to get a peace accord between the two while suggesting land consessions, Ukraine and other nations in Europe state that Ukraine will not cede any land to Russia. And while President Trump planned to pressure India to stop buying Russian Oil funding their war, new evidence appeared to show that Russian drone also include parts supplied by India itself. The cease fire talks with Iran seem to have a bleak outlook as Iran refuses any concessions, let alone any nuclear inspections. Israel's intent to re-occupy Gaza to wipe out Hamas received some backlash from Germany, suspending arms exports. However, the brother of the Hamas hostage dubbed the 'living-skeleton' railed that Hamas keeps its terrorists well fed and starves everyone else in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the Associated Press is now receiving grief months later for their report over the Israeli pager attack, sympathetically calling Hezbollah terrorists surviving victims. It was two weeks ago when twenty beheaded bodies were found in Sinaloa, Mexico due to cartel violence. But this week, thirty two bodies were now found; this time in Guanajuato, one of the most cartel-ravaged regions. And while US President Trump secretly authorized military incursions against Latin American drug cartels designated foreign terrorists in the Fentanyl trade, Mexico's President Sheinbaum stated no US military presence will be found in her nation. There's less good news for Democrats in the US, California's Adam Schiff now under investigation for mortgage fraud declaring his Maryland Property, not his California home, as his residence for lower rates. The same mortgage fraud allegations can be levied against NY AG Letitia James who oversaw the near $500Million Civil Fraud case against Trump, while another charge for denying his civil rights also looms. Recently revealed, the Democratic Socialists of America which back Zohran Mamdani's campaign also backed and supported a pro-North Korea ‘Death to imperialism’ rally. This while Texas's Jasmine Crockett is now facing ridicule from her own staff, focused on being an influencer rather than doing her job in Congress. And worse, one of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's staff was arrested for the coordination of 25,000 social media followers to attack a public high school that specifically had Jewish students. The EU signing a deal with the US to avoid Trump Pharmaceutical Tariffs, a teenage Chinese exchange student killing another in Australia, Nut-hungry rats devastaing California's almond farms, the new peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan offering new leverage against Russia, and more hit this week's news.

For anone who though there was a lul, one can just find out What's Up with RMers like Remi-Chan who had recent issues with her PC and its sound device. While it took a full re-format and restore, the issues with her PC's sound and many other problems had been fixed. And while she spent time juggling between World of Warcraft and the dialogue of her game, Remi-chan garnered a new software engineer named Lux. This while she received the final portraits of her fowlhunter, or anime bird-folk) characters and a wood elf female from her artist Pjcr. This week, new clips from Remi-chan's game appeared within the Maps and screenshots thread, as she was anxious to use the latest character portraits she showed off within our What's Up, RMers? topic.

Early this week, Ace_V asked if Is it possible to add Fireflies / Particles to the Title Screen?, with DerVVulfman pointing him straight to a variation of an animated gif script originally created by SephirothSpawn.

There were a number of images posted by DerVVulfman over his widgets endeavors this past year. But now, [Thread=12470]Windows Widgets! has been released. DerVVulfman's widggets are based on a work by Ryex nearly two decades ago, but is a near-complete set of Windows-like objects to simulate or recreate a windows-like application.
