+[Dims][dims-website] ([Twitter][dims-twitter], [Discord][dims-discord],
+[YouTube][dims-youtube]) is a pre-alpha collaborative open-world
+creation platform.
+Users can hop in sessions and build a game together, allowing everyone
+to bring out their inner game-maker.
+
+In September, the platform continued to make steady progress, with new features
+and bugfixes being made on a daily basis. The highlights are:
+
+- The team's very first game of entirely scripted multiplayer Team Deathmatch 🎉
+- All player logic was moved to the Rust scripting layer, allowing for it to be
+  changed on the fly
+- The implementation of animation retargeting, so you can use any animation with
+  any model, as long as they share the same skeletal structure
+- Scripting now has greater access to the ECS, allowing it to move the sun 🌅
+- Initial work on an asset database and pipeline, so that you can import any 
+  asset and use it amongst your Dims projects
+- An all-new object manipulation/placement tool suite
+  - Objects can now be consistently stacked, moved as a group, placed within
+    each other, and more!
+- Many other infrastructural changes and improvements, including macOS and 
+  Linux builds
+
+Want to try Dims out for yourself? Come join the [Discord][dims-discord] to be
+notified of future public tests, see the latest features before everyone else,
+and to talk to the devs personally.
