The Weekly Gazette 05-04-2025 - DerVVulfman - 05-05-2025 ![]() 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 General Chat
Early this week, the News of the World was that the Miniral Rights deal between US President Trump and Ukraine's President Zalenskyy was signed, though it got severe pushback by Russia's Vladimir Putin who stated Ukraine was going to cease to be and once again threatened the US with nukes. But as Putin pushes troops for battleground gains, their strategy flounders as they have incurred heavy losses there and in the Black Sea following a Ukrainian Drone attack. For illegal immigration in the US, two more nations may consider taking those deported. Two more of the unaccompanied minors lost by the Biden Administration have been rescued, this time from sex traffickers based in California. And of Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported back to El Salvador, more news about his wife's spousal abuse charges appear. China provocation is increasing in South Korea, first with individuals with high powered cameras taking photographs at military bases, critics looking at China interfering in their upcoming presidential election, and increasing their naval deployment in the waters around South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. Mexican Sewage flowing into the US, a Biden-era Censorship office uncovered, India and Pakistan flexing their naval muscles, Hamas looking at arson as a legitimate military tactic and more hit this week's news. Tech Talk
This week the News of the Cyber World has been bad for Big Tech as one Federal Judge blasts Apple for Anti-Trust violations, Google's CEO is tries to fight its own Anti-Trust court case defending its monopoly, Google, LinkedIn and California in serious trouble with sharing private health care data online, and TikTok confirmed sharing personal data to the CCP despite assurances. However, online and AI safety is taking center satage as the US House of Representatives passes legislation to criminalize nonconsensual deepfakes, and a Judge has allowed Elon Musk to sue Sam Altman and keep OpenAI public and not marketed. Crypto-Entrepreneurs in France targeted by kidnappers, China's competition to eBay freezing in the US market, Apple pulling iPhone production out of China and more hit this week's cybernews. Games Development Complete Projects
This week, Starmage presented a Lets Play video of her game, Project: Echelon, a 90 minute game as played by BugFragged, someone familiar with Starmage's Rave Heart series, Another BugFragged let's play video entered the forum as Starmage shows off the 90 minute gameplay of The Final Prayer. The opening alone surprised the video's host as events and characters by Starmage were quite apparent within the surprising conflict at the game's start. Material Development Resources Database

Was he inspired by the recent Marvel movie being released? Was he inspired by the countless times Chris Helmsworth's persona has been showing up on cable TV over and over again? Whatever the case, the hammer of Thor has now made an appearance among the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. Indeed, you have blue lightning writhing around, glowing faintly or have Mjolner lodged against some stone. Are you worthy enough to pick up this characterset? Creativity Section Music and Audio
Artistic creativity does not belive in time tables. Know then that a twelth composition has now appeared within DoubleX Music Room, a composition entitled "Wish Them The Best". A lightly energetic piece, it reflects how one may find their heart's desire in a relationship with another and how they present a happy and well wishing attitude. However, the bridge quickly lessens a little before returning to its bright melody once more. Art and Design
As Starmage continues on her Arts and Training Journey, she decided to travel down the road of character art. For this, she presented three line art renders she has been working upon that are intended for a free collection of character portraits. Now beginning this past week, Starmage's Free Character Packs are here. Large character full portraits for any RPG or Visual Novel game, she reveals three Spring dieties which were crafted for Itch.Io's RPG Maker Asset Contest hosted by GotchaGotchaGames, and are free for use in commercial or non-commercial games. Her first diety is a goddess with skin of charcoal, clad in bright orange as if heading to a beach party. Her second, another god dess with pale apple green and a short dress of fern, her magenta hair a stark contrast. And the last diety a god of skin arctic, horns of a ram from his forehead, and not much more than a loin cloth worn. Well, that's it for this week. “My formula for success is rise early, work late, and strike oil.” - J. P. Getty PROSPECTIVE GAZETEERS!
