I've been watching a lot of Netflix movies lately.  The reviews don't seem to be helpful though.  A sweet coming of age story?  Pardon me if you think this is a spoiler, but I think that little vampire in Let The Right One In is a frelling pedophile.

  • The Efencea team doesn't seem to be communicating, but Vermolius is working on the next update to their competative base defense game. There have been AI, cost, and ammunition improvements. A tutorial and a pause function are planned next.

  • Oasiscircle is now displaying the initial brackets for his Forsight tournament. Hopefully, all of the entrants will show up for the first round of the turn-based grid battles. And second. And third.

  • Ganing released another update to his base defense game, Seika SE. There are 15 new waves, a new medal and a new boss. Ganing is planning on working on a new mode next, but which mode is yet to be determined.

  • Adam753 made a minor update to his base defense game, Defender, to make GMs more obvious. I hope his brother will forgive me for the Eric Cartman-inspired "recognize my authority" image that popped into my head.

  • Vexontator released an update which fixed a massive bug in his turn-based totalitarian revolution, Insurgency. Massive. It was "clearly preventing people from enjoying the game properly". Clearly.

    ...I have no idea what it was.

  • Squeegy released the source for three of his games, including Faith and Military Tycoon. This is the first time the latter has been available for download in any form.

    I'm a bit confused as to the conditions of the release. Squeegy admits that the code could be a bit messy to learn from and then states that he doesn't want others claiming his work. Can people create their own forks as long as they give credit?

  • I remembered my strategy games instead of just releasing an update with medals for Wrangle, Warp And Weep. I started looking for sound effects to use in my abstract competitive dungeon crawl, GrimTunnel, and my bot-crashing gear collector, Gears & Peers. I found a few, but it was really bugging me that I couldn't use my microphone to get the exact samples I wanted. Fortunately, I think I just fixed the problem. Audacity works with my hardware fine. Apparently, all I needed to do was use a stereo adapter. *sigh*
