I've amassed an Orc army to rival all nations in Warp Warlords, and I welcome all challengers. In the permadeath RTS game Warp Warlords, you're tasked with choosing a race to commandeer as you conquer, build, and defend against the other competing races. As you loot and scoot, you can equip various weaponry and wield powerful magic that you can use to aid you in your fight against other powerful enemies. Feli Rose made an update back in October that adds Legendary Crafting to create even more powerful weaponry. If you want to build, destroy, and conquer, this is the game for you. Grab some friends, hop into a server, and try to outlast each other before hunger does your entire population in.

Chance has brought magical beasts as a playable race to Meranthe in a massive 2.0 update! As a magic beast, your "magic core" can progress and upgrade. On death, your core can be harvested and used in the creation of a soulblade, a weapon that grows with its wielder. Meranthe also now features Rush Dungeons, a wave-style assault on a party that can reward token items, which can be spent in the all-new Rush Store. Players can also experience dustings of snow or summer rains as seasonal effects have been introduced, changing the landscape and ambience accordingly. Chance has ushered in a bunch more content than what I described, so if you're interested in reading the full list, give the patch notes a look!

Crazah's gearing up for the official release of trace/ALTER! Crazah and his team have implemented a lot of content these last few months, including a functional police investigation system, complete with fingerprinting and blood sampling. Also added was a very intricate sanity system, causing murderous players to experience bouts of insanity, psychosis, apparitions, nightmares, and more. A large amount of skill trees were added for various types of skills, classes, and weaponry, allowing you to customize your combat approach. Crazah continues to implement the AI learning-language model GPT (and plans to upgrade to GPT-4 Turbo) for his NPCs, music, art, and other in-game interactions. AI even powers some enemies, as there are now ALTERs who can mimic your friends' actions and speech to deceive you! Stay on the lookout for a mid-2024 release of trace/ALTER, and prepare to fight against powerful bosses such as the Ronin, whose cinematic is to your left!

Devourer of Souls has continued to deliver updates to Sigrogana Legend 2, adding 92 new style seeds and 5 new item sets. He's also added a bunch of new Event Tools for event staff, as well as a new promoted class, the Ruler, which focuses on using whips and summoning automoton golems in battle! I took the opportunity to pull Dev aside for a few minutes and asked what his next big focus was, and he mentioned that he's aiming to dish out more of the 4th line of promoted classes, and while he was a bit cagey on the details, he's also been working on a second mini-expansion. No release date or details yet, I'm afraid, because Devourer of Souls refuses to announce what isn't done. Sound advice from a veteran developer that all of us could learn from!
