Hello Readers! It has been a busy week, with Game in a Day 2016 underway, and five entries already received! You can check out those entries at the Game in a Day Headquarters, and there is still time before Friday Night's deadline to start your own Game in a day! Check out the post for details.
Off-site has been busy as well, with three two games getting the Greenlight from Steam. Unreal based Super Powered Battle Friends, successor of Wolf Pack Battalion, made the cut [edit: Started a Greenlight campaign]. Check out the following blurbs to see what other two BYOND based games got the go ahead!

Lummox JR has demonstrated his wizardry once again with the release of 511.1361, enabling the Webclient to use a gamepad, and fixing a series of longstanding issues shadowing world.Export(). Gremlins in the object tree were slowing down big icon compilation; those were picked out. On the list are improvements to the web interface for the webclient and preload_rsc before 510 is laid to rest.

Two weeks before Halloween, Manio shared a development log featuring the first steps in the Black Death. When players first begin their hunt for the fell, they'll find themselves in the hospital. Once the chambers have been looted and the player is properly equipped, they can head outside, keeping an eye out for plague basin save points.
Silk Games jolted NEStalgia with an electrode, doubling the client's frame rate, and enhancing control responsiveness. Backend systems were attached as well, helping to ensure success when the Key of the Exiles content expansion is brought to life. The NEStalgia soundtrack has been released to subscribers, allowing them to monster mash to their favorite tunes.
Acebloke published version 2.0.5 of Wargames, containing a goody bag of corrections, tweaks, and unfinished features. The fears of startup failures have been squashed, tax codes have been simplified and raised, inflation considerations may startle county leaders, and AI nations can now haunt your boarders.
For those brave enough to delve into the unknown, Sigrogana Legend 2 unveiled its latest location, Darkwood Manor. Who knows what creepy ghouls, vampires, or other monsters await you in such an eerie sounding mansion. Perhaps grab a freshly carven Katana to replace your wooden stake, and find out!
Vizzion was searching though his mausoleum of dead and forgotten source files, and stumbled upon Last Man Standing RPG Survival. Up to 5 players, choosing one of seven classes, band together to take down the infinite waves of monsters, collecting gold to purchase witches brews and skills, gaining experience to increase stats, and keeping an eye out for friendly fire.
Darker Emerald and the zombies of The Last Conflict aren't the only things looking green in recent days, as the entire game has been Greenlit! Over the next few months, the game will be dressing up for its big release on the Steam platform.
The third laboratory built on Neptunig, appropriately named C - Lab, is your new place of employment in Bumblemore's latest open-source experiment. However, all is not so well! Alarming and supernatural events occur in the fragile underwater laboratory, and if you're not careful, you may end up as a skeleton crew, just like labs A and B.
