(February 15 to February 21, 2021)

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

  Feedback and Suggestions

This week, Bloodrose showed up to say she Lost my old account and had to register again.  Both MetalRenard and DerVVulfman asked questions to assist BloodRose in regaining her original status.

  Occasions

Do you like cake?  Because this week we only had one day that didn't provide some icing covered confectionaries.  First off, we got to celebrate the birthdays of Hypec and Grimimi But that was only the start of the birthday celebrations this week as SparkWare enjoyed some cake of his own, as did Kureshin, xiaohuangdi001 and cyberghostm the very next day.  After that, Krazy_Meerkat, RockyRaccoon and lasirice01 were able to share some birthday cake together.  And this was finally followed by Rui enjoying a bit of birthday cake.

  General Chat

RosyPosy make an appearance to tell us  What's on her Mind, being back in the gaming world while she's building her music portfolio. That, and she has a new boyfriend. Meanwhile, it appears that DerVVulfman has finally upgraded his internet service from dialup.

What was old is new again.  And this week, a new Selfies Thread!  has appeared thanks to Remi-chan who bravely revealed over tweny shots of herself. And to show supportt, DerVVulfman put up a small portrait shot of his own.  Are you brave enough?

Stranger and stranger is the News of the World, wheter it be an article where a scientist suggests a diet of human meat or sewage wastewater beer.  NASA's fifth rover makes it successfully to the Red Planet this week while Bill Gates cheered on this planet's worst polluter on behalf of climate change. Just know that there is plenty to read this week.

Games Development

  Development Discussion

A funny thing happened to Steel Beast 6Beets if you wondered What's up with him. He was looking for a multiple hits script and discovered a  help request thread which linked to a thread he posted within another forum over 7 years before. Meanwhile, Remi-chan reacted to the talk that Steel Beast and Melana had about Enterbrain the week before, and relayed her feelings towards the engines, and the talk she and Steel Beast 6Beets had went towards Enterbrain now abandining the RPGMaker line. Still, you may be interested in seeing the cinematics that Remi-chan posted.

Remi-chan continued to post videos of her game's cutscenes within the Maps and screenshots thread, and followed it up by her characters of Lumi Fuzz and Koko Spiral.  In a more urban setting, rzrcoon showed off his recent automotive artwork, not once but twice he displayed fully rendered car characterset graphics which attracted both kyonides and DerVVulfman's attention.

  Complete Projects

Eons have passed, and the human race has left the Earth.  Now is the time for Perseverance: Full Clearance.  A game by Remi-chan set in the Dystopian future of Great Britain, this RPGMaker MV game RMMV pits renegade heroes against the vile cult of Naxon.  Cinematic cutscenes, fully developed characters and radical action-packed gameplay is ready for you to enjoy.

  Tutorials

While MetalRenard is Learning GDScript, he continues to share with us his progress and lessons.  This week, he began working with the basics of a GUI (Graphice User Interface).  But to be more specific, he was working on a hud for his rocketship demo, displaying the player's HP, SP and fuel gauge.

Material Development

  Scripts Database

If you caught some of the discussion, DerVVulfman was aghast at the coding he released over a decade ago. So this week, he released Version 3 of his Text Scroll Script - Enhanced, a demo based on the work of Dubealex.  skye_sken was quite impressed, but noticed an error in the demo. Still, the error was with some event code, and didnt affect the script. Following that, DerVVulfman reuploaded the demo with corrected events.

Creativity Section

  Art and Design

More recent character depictions entered Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!  Now one can see two depictions of a blue-haired maiden named Lumi Fuzz, the second showing off her peculiar talent. While a magician may keep a rabbit up his sleeve, Lumi has a spell to shoot the furrballs out as buck-toothed projectiles. Remi-chan continued with another maiden who spellcasts bats in much the same manner, and followed this up with another post with a pigtailed devilgirl with a butcher's knife and  a young woman wearing a long gray trench coat covering her tubetop and shorts.

Well, that's it for this week.
