Each workday morning I will be bringing you the latest events, articles and releases in the independent and mod development communities, as well as any mainstream news that seems pertinent.

ModCenter News: We've just implemented our brand-new project navigation system. This version is a huge improvement over our original project maps, both in terms of loading speed and robustness. Only categories with existing projects are shown, and the tool will auto-complete drill-downs if there is only one sub-category or project in the next tier down.  This should help you find the exact projects you're looking for, in a much more efficient and enjoyable fashion. The project navigation is on the left hand side of the ModCenter homepage.  Check it out!
