And I'm back. You miss me?

ATTENTION: DID YOU WRITE THIS ARTICLE??

I have a submission in for an article entitled "Walls and Shadows in 2D". Unfortunately our submission system was a bit broken and no User ID was attached to the issue, which means I have no idea who it came from. This bug actually has existed for a few months, but I never noticed because everyone would always sign there name somewhere. Not so here (the bug is fixed now, BTW).

So again if you submitted to us an article entitled "Walls and Shadows in 2D", get in touch with me at writers@gamedev.net! Thanks.

New Lounge Forum ModeratorDictator For Life

If you haven't noticed (and you probably haven't unless you're very attentive, have been naughty recently, or read Weekend Reading) Oluyesi has stepped down from Lounge moderator to be replaced by Ravuya. If there's any hope in your minds that the Lounge has become a looser, more relaxed place to go and post/talk about whatever the hell you want, think again.

If you want to stay out of trouble in general (which is also a good idea) then our Curiously Tentacled Community Manager, Washu, has a very informative post on how to properly behave in the GameDev.net community. Now that he's written this, he's going to assume that everyone else has read it. So you'd better read it or you'll be in trouble when you're in trouble.

The Daily podcast

So after conferring with the other Daily editors, it has been decided that such a podcast (which I talked about earlier), while interesting, won't be possible at this time. Anyone who was interested in this idea is more than welcome to poke me about it in 2-3 months time if I don't do anything about it first.

New Articles

Yea, it's stupid for me just to post here what's on the main page (do tell me if I'm wrong) so this section is going away unless I happen to add new links directly to the Resources section (which I do, from time to time).

So yea, I know I say this every month but... August? Already?? Geeeeez
