[sim-the-bean]

Hey, as the creator of physme I'd love to write a short overview of what it's for and what it's not for and why I made it.

[casperstorm]

I'll happily write about Ajour. I'll get it done by tomorrow.

[Dooskington]

Will write about the October updates for my project Antorum Online.

[cdsupina]

@tigleym and I will write an update on space_shooter_rs.

[ecton]

I'd love to write about my game, The Honor Sagas. Thank you again for the invite.

[sajattack]

Can we add a section for a rust-psp update? I got tetris running with it 😄

[ReeCocho]

I'd like to write a bit about my game Camp Misty. Thank you for the invite!

[roalyr]

Game updates, pGLOWrpg #315

[bitshifter]

A made a new release of glam a couple of days ago with of few new features of note, I'd like to add a short note about that if possible :)

[tuzz]

I'm happy to write a quick introduction for my puzzle-platform game.

[therocode]

I'll add my rust+SDL2+opengl+emscripten, cheers for the ping 👍

[junkmail22]

Hi, I'm here again and I'm planning to write another update for Project YAWC which actually includes contact info and links to pages.

[PatrickHoward]

I'll take on a section on Proton!

[AngelOnFira]

@ozkriff Akigi isn't on there under the game section, but I'll take it 😃

[logicsoup]

Hi, I’d like to write the Garden update.

[icefoxen]

I'd like to make an update for ggez, since I'm trying to get a new release done before the end of the year and want to drum up interest/contributions. However, I'm also not sure whether this is too early, since I don't have a whole lot actually done for the update yet. Anyone have thoughts or opinions?

[AngelOnFira]

I'll take Rust GPU as it looks as it hasn't been picked up yet

[jam1garner]

I can do "Rust for Modding Smash Ultimate"

[profan]

I'd like to nab a section for a game I'm working on being made with macroquad called "rymd", thanks! (@not-fl3 sent me here, hi)

[bonsairobo]

I'll take the building-blocks section.

[sebcrozet]

If it is not too late, I took the Dimforge section. Though to make the section more precise, I added a Rapier section instead of Dimforge. I hope this is OK.

[ozkriff]

Ping @walterpie @PsichiX @bonsairobo @Twister915 - how're your sections going? :)

[sim-the-bean]

Sorry for the quietness. I work all week and have no time for anything. I'll have it finished by today, in at most 7 hours

[bonsairobo]

@ozkriff Sorry about the delay. Working on it now, should be done today. I just have to cut another release for building-blocks, write a quick release post, then I'll bundle it into the newsletter.

[ozkriff]

@walterpie @bonsairobo no worries, I'm struggling to find time for the newsletter myself :) Hope to finish it today though.

[ozkriff]

Taking "shared-arena", "gbemu", and "fastnbt & fastanvil".

[ozkriff]

Taking "density-mesh" and "mcproto".

[ozkriff]

The final PR: #361 ("N15: Release") - everyone is invited to review!
