Update

[Meiscool]

Not much has been going on here at charas, and that is saddening. However, big changes may be seen in the future!
Long time member DragonBlaze has returned (que fanfare) and is talking about what changes can/should be made to charas to expand it and improve it. View the topic here: http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=28672.0. With enough support, this place may thrive again, so I highly recommend you at least read through this and post your opinion.

New contests may be coming soon. If you have any ideas or opinions of what you'd like to see, post them here. At the moment, I would like to make this contest something having to do with the forum itself (IE, make something to improve the forum, and then a set of judges will comment on it and rank you). This might be ranged from making a tutorial to making something for the charas generator to creating a RP to making a successful forum game to posting a topic for your own game/art/etc. Be creative and helpful at the same time.

Ephiam has completed his most recent RPGM2003 game, and it can be seen here: http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=28385.0 . Thus far, good reviews have been seen for the game. If you enjoy playing retro styled games, give this a look.

This wouldn't be an update by myself if I didn't do a shameless plug of my own work. Godsent creation is going well, and you can view progress here: http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=28554.0. Need something to interest you? Watch this (with captions on):
Godsent Example 2

Have anything you want added here? Let me know.

I actually do have something vaguely relevant to add: I've also been working on my game stuff but work has made it go slowly. I'll make a new thread for it at some point and it'll have music and linear gameplay and everything. Yaaay

When you make the topic I'll post the link here, along with a download to the game or a video presentation if you want (I'll take out mine that way only one vid is on the main page).

Something forum related contests sounds like a good idea.

A small game jam over a weekend could be nice.
