I have not posted this here yet, but I dropped Dream.Build.Play to make the game as good as I can before releasing it. I will be making it for PC now too. There will be a page on its development later. As for the site, im back to focusing on it since I dont have to meet a deadline. There will be a lot of releases in a short time to make up for the time lost.

I have also begun my template service for IPB, and will provide Drupal shortly. There will be a page to request templates, or purchase pre-made ones, later as well. The first templates to come up is the Phoenix Pack. $25 for 3 IPB skins, or you can purchase them seperately.

Also, if you would like to see something on the site, comment to this post telling me what you are interested in and I will try to release something for you!

That is all for now.

Next Planned Release: IPB Phoenix Skin Set

Just a small update letting everybody know what is going on. Due to working on Dream Build Play and school, there will be a limit on what I can release. Once I submit the DBP entry, things will go back to the way they were with a content update every weekend.

That being said, there will be another C# tutorial sometime this weekend and possible a premium pack.

We are also working on the next skin/template set which will be "Ice Phoenix". Users can use the skins, premium members can download the skins to use on their sites like usual.

That is all for now!

Signature

This tutorial is the first of many for premium members. Sanity Penguin was kind enough to write the tutorial for the site. You will learn smudging, clipping masks, color correction, and adding decent text in this tutorial. Click the below screen shot to read the tutorial:

We started a similar series to the XNA Complete Games for C# for Complete Programs. The very first tutorial here we cover a very basic calculator. Next tutorial we will make a more advanced program.

I have added 4 more programming challenges. All challenges have the executable, C++ source, and C# source. Both source are VS 2008 Editions.

Hope you enjoy them!

The first template pack from PHStudios. These are available to Premium Members only. I have released both templates PHS uses. The top one in the screen shot is for drupal (the template here), the bottom one is for Invision Power Board (made by another administrator Sanity Penguin)
