The in-development RPG, Cursed Luck, formally known as Unluckiest by DanteVFenris has seen progress around its interface system lately.

Guild of Magic is now live and ready to be played. Version 1, recently posted by Kaliba, offers a summary of the changes that have been made so far.

Spawning from a mini project, Kumorii has taken and created Skirmish, a capture the flag game with guns. Keep an eye out for a public testing server.
