Project of the Season
RMRK has been around since RM2k3 and has a long history of being home to some of the most distingushed and talented amateur game designers in the RM World. The new(ish) Project of the Season (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,40140.0.html) award exists to recognize the extraordinary talent of these individuals. Play your part by voting for the Project of Summer 2011 (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,42800.0.html)
Recently Finished Projects
- :rm2k3:Forever's End (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,36899.0.html), by NicoB
- :rmxp:One Night: Full Circle (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,38514.0.html), by Dark Gaia

(http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/9435/titlezjx.png)
An intriguing story, fun gameplay elements and nice graphical flourishes all colluded to create Forever's End. The cliches may be somewhat rampant, but this game reminds you why they became cliches in the first place. Overall, this is a wonderful example of RM2k3 at its finest.

Want to Help?
I am looking for anyone interested in writing a new Community Update section, and any Non-RMVX Game Maker News sections of the Newsletter. If you are interested and have a suitable knowledge of any of those areas, please volunteer in this topic and I will select whoever I think is best suited for the job. Also, if you can think of any other section or subsection that you'd like to write and that you think would make sense to be included in the newsletter, then feel free to suggest it. Also, I did this pretty rapidly, so if anyone notices something I missed, please point it out to me.
