Happy Thanksgiving! It's that time of year, just as the holiday season begins, to take some time and appreciate what we have, instead of wanting what we don't. Take some time to enjoy the rest of the week with your family, coworkers, and friends. Until then, check out these updates that I'm thankful for in the world BYOND!
BYOND
A new update to the Beta version of BYOND was released today, featuring quite a list of rendering performance improvements, and a handful of bug fixes. In his earlier logs, Lummox JR has documented his work being unexpectedly thrown off course, but still managed to make some head-way on an improved splash screen for the Webclient, although not yet ready for a public release. He gobbled away some missing features in the Webclient, and set his sights on finding out why some systems are using the wrong graphics card.

A word game with not-so-wordy descriptions, Wordji is Flick's latest project! Think of it like a mix of word searches and Boggle, with gravity and compound words thrown in to fluff up the difficulty. Hints costs coins and show helpful pictures of what your goal is, and coins are gained for correct answers!
Kaizoku: A New Beginning is back under development, with Kidpaddle45 sharing a short video of the game. New graphics help spice up the game, and arrows can be launched to score a kill.
The rough and tumble world of retail management has come back around, with Foogimicester posting the latest update to Main Street. The storefront tycoon game is entering the world of fast food, with the introduction of the Taco Shop theme. Newspapers bring the promise of positive advertisement, but bring a double edged blade to the table. Poor reviews and bad publicity of stores may soon be written.
Subjectivity is the name of Yut Put's latest creation, a small text based game were participants answer a series of yes or no questions, and see how many participants answered similarly. Once there are no further questions to answer, you may leave your own question to be answered by those who answer exactly like you did. Up to this point, no one has answered the question I left behind!
Feed has been stuffed with development, thanks in part to the testers that Kumorii has been recruiting! Bringing in the player look-alike boss, Dopple, was a major goal that was accomplished. A slew of various-colored clothing designs are available to choose from. Numerous bugs were squashed, and a bunch of future plans have been laid-out. Interested in stress-testing Feed first-hand? Contact Kumorii!
My Adventure Online is a new developing RPG from S10 Games. Basic system are in the dungeon crawler, so equip your sword, tunic, attack skill, and fireball skill and go for an adventure on the first dungeon level. Level up enough, and you may even be able to take down the monstrous ogre boss.
FlameGuardian has shared a preview of Beware of the Weredude. From what can be seen, he has added some meat to his Game in a Day submission, such as the ability to attack, destructible terrain, magic flame projectiles, tangible and usable objects, and animals!
Pyro_dragons is cooking up an old (old) favorite of mine, The Elemental Stone. While the current screen shots look entirely different from what I remember, they also look considerably better. Inventory and character stat sheets appear to be in, along with equipment management and crafting. Dashing and blocking are in as well.
