News and Opinions of the Digital Mars D Programming Language
Version 0.8 of Monster, the game scripting language, has been released. The changelog has the details. In addition to being implemented in D and embeddable in D programs, it includes a binding for embedding in C++ programs. It is released under version 3 of the GPL, so if you are developing a closed source game you’ll have to look for another option.

I’ve added a new category to the blog to collate all of the game and gamedev posts. I’ve also gone through old posts and updated all of the relevant posts I could find. I went through them rather quickly and may have overlooked a few. If you notice any, do let me know. Though, I intentionally left out all Derelict-related posts, so no need to let me know about those.
Now it should be easier for those looking for D game goodness to find the info they need here.
