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

This week, there was much insofar as Forum Updates Happenings, the completion of the RPG Maker Central's tutorial board and complete games boards being fully archived, though a new list of available works to be added and archived appeared.  And the recent downtime which was resolve whilst not losing any content was discussed. And along with that, it was revealed that the forum's own Scripts Database has less than a dozen pieces of software remaining to separate between their individual game engines. This while the administrator of the now vanished RPG Maker Central had repeat appearances.

  General Chat

This week's News of the World is the shocking aftermath of the end of the Assad regime, most of Europe now rethinking and halting asylum claims until Syria stabalizes. And for Russia, their future in Syria has become tenuous at best, as it has been supporting the Assad regime for decades. While support for Ukraine continues, NATO's chief suggests that member nations need to provide more support as it had during the Cold war against Soviet Russia. However, Germany's Tino Chrupalla suggests exiting NATO unless it protects Russia's interests despite NATO's directive to protect Europe from Russian aggression. Russia attempted to rewrite history, claiming the 600,000 casualties as reported were instead suffered were those of Ukrainians. The actual numbers were reported by both Ukraine's Armed forces and NATO's secretary general. And in the US, mystery drones have been sighted flying in the East Coast over restricted areas, but assured by the DHS and FBI that they pose no security threat. However, that claim does not sit well with many; warnings by governors Democrat and Republcan alike, warnings they could be weaponized, and reports that they move faster than what the US has in stock. Former President Biden's removal of sanctions against Iran, the European Union's new sanctions against Russia, the resignation of the US FBI director, more North Koreans fighting on behalf of Russia in Ukraine, and more hit this week's news.

When Tepe asked if the HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable by kyonides could be made to support the RPGMaker SDK from the 2007-2012 era, it was revealed by kyonides that the use of the latest version of Ruby had a specific restriction. While scripters had the ability to write fare that changed the inheritance property of a given class in the past, the current edition of Ruby is less lenient. After that, a discussion between how one may pass arguments into a method began between Zeriab and kyonides.

This week, our artist formerly known as aabb821 has since changed it.  And upon celebration, he created a new topic to contain the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. Most of his work is modern in design, though some could be used in any game genre.  And throughout the numerous posts he had made, you will find characterset of modern trucks, and Victorian era Phonographs, office laser copiers, shopping carts and public water fountains in which he chose to share.

Creativity Section

  Music and Audio

Ah, the playfully speedy rapping of a wood xylophone, the contrast of strings and brass, all combined to create a melody a skeleton would love.  Upon discovery of the Original Music and Sound FX being shared by Eric Matyas, you would find his latest compostition entitled "Mischevious Spirits". But never forget that Eric has higher quality Ogg music packs.

  Art and Design

Knowing her, one should expect that even the Christmas Season would not be immune to the Garbage Goddess's subject of choice. So upon entering. Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing, a scarlet clad demoness brandishing a ragged edged blade set against a sanguine night sky. This portrait took her a full twelve hours to create, and the Speed-draw she presents will show everyone how.

Well, that's it for this week.
