+
+Open Combat ([Website][OpenCombat_website], [GitHub][OpenCombat_github],
+[Discord][OpenCombat_discord]) is a real time tactical game
+which takes place during the 2nd World War.
+
+Some major changes this month :
+
+- A live debug window has been introduced (using [egui][egui_github]
+  and its [ggegui][ggegui_github] integration). It allows to live-modify and
+  adjust the gameplay of the running game.
+- A big source code split has been done (see [the merge request][OpenCombat_split_mr])
+  which separated the game logic and GUI.
+  It allows running the game logic as a standalone server
+  and working on different game parts more easily.
+- Integration of [puffin][puffin_github] to inspect performances
+
+The developers are also working on high-definition infantry sprites integration
+and on a high-definition map (and are searching for graphic
+designer help!).
