The news released about The new HBGames Archive Board was the completion of the Completed Games board, with DerVVulfman retrieving and safeguarding links to the last remaining final products he could find under its last incarnation, the aarpgmaker url. Both Ace_V and Carlos Davilla expressed their appreciation for all the hard work.

Occasions

This week, Leozeld showed up. Also going by Zelda or Zeli, she hails from Portugal and has been a RPGMaker hobbyist since 2014.

General Chat

Russia's continuous attacks on Ukraine and Putin's claims hit the News of the World, with making committments last week with the Alaskan conference, and the following attacks in Ukraine including a drone barrage against a US owned electronics factory hundreds of miles away from the front line. NATO's defense chiefs remain on high alert, and EU's top diplomat warns against rewarding Russia with any land concessions. Also following the Alaska meeting, the Kremlin once more demanded that Ukraine give up NATO, give up their land and have no peacekeeping troops ever. Once more, severed heads have appeared in Mexico due to Cartel violence. But this time, they were discovered in the peaceful states of Puebla and Tlaxcala, a message attached claiming it was retribution from a rival cartel attack. In the Middle East, Israel killed one of the October 7th terrorists in an airstrike, and solidified their plans to storm Gaza to destroy Hamas once and for all. Thousands of Palestinians have fled the strip as Israel warned Hamas to agree to a cease fire otherwise hell was coming for them. But on the side of peace, the Azerbaijan-Armenia pact orchestrated by US President Trump ends decades of violence. The pact puts the contentious Zangezur corridor under US control for nearly a century, allowing cheaper trade and simultaneously preventing Iran from causing strangleholds on commerce. Law and order seems to be the words of the week in the US, Trump halting visa holders from interstate trucking following a fatal incident with an illegal alien who gained a commercial license in California, the Governor in New Mexico calling on the National Guard to assist in dealing with crime despite she rallying against US President Trump for doing the same in Washington DC, the massive $500 Million Civil case against Trump for property fraut appealed and vacated, while a third prominent democrat now under investigation for mortgage fraud, and the parole denied to the Menendez Brothers for killing their parents decades ago. Former Brazilian President Bolsonaro attempting to flee Argentina for political asylum, the 'bear attack' in Japan, the Washington Post newspaper blasted for leaking Director Hegseth's family itinerary, rabbits spouting horns in Colorado, four bodies found in Paris’ Seine River leading to an Algerian man's arrest, illegal marijuana farms, firearms and dangerous chemicals found in a raid at California’s Sequoia National Park, the death of Terrence Stamp, and more hit this week's news.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

Who is the most dangerous villain in the kingdom? With the KMostWanted XP script by kyonides, you can now see who';s the worst of the worst when battle begins, even having it be generated randomly.

Have you thought it an idea that your party members lose actual experience points when they are defeated in battle? With KLastDefeat XP by kyonides, RPGMaker XP users are treated with a demo where you can not only lose their experience, but regain those same lost point when the KLastDefeat command is engaged.

Back in April, a trowser-less sprite of the forum's administrator appeared among the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. But after the work he did on archiving another board, Ace_V felt he deserved a rest, and revisited the sprite and added a bed for the teal wolf to finally take a nap.

Creativity Section

Music and Audio

Another work of solace and reflection has been composed, now appearing within DoubleX Music Room this week. His twenty third work, Inner Emptiness begins with a violin melody with wood blocks and glass ocarinas to press upon the listener the secluded passage of time until the flute and piano bridge interrupts. Only then you are introduced to a repeat with more intensity into the realization that heartache and desolation is all that's left.

Well, that's it for this week.
