The Tournament of Legends is underway! Round 1 is wrapping up, and Round 2 should start soon! We are always in need of more voters, so please come and vote!
We have a new Developer PIP bar! There's also a sticky Meet the Developers thread in Version Development. This really should have happened long ago but activity in version dev in recent months spurred us to finally get it done.

Kramwood unfortunately deleted his WRTL account and all of his YouTube videos this month. However, we managed to recover a lot of them. Read more here

Track Releases

The Well-Tempered Kramual by @Sheldon and @Anton - Exactly what it sounds like. A track where Bosh remains in kramual position for the entire thing. If that sounds boring, trust me, it's not.
Voices by @LoneVampire - A fun music synced manuquirk by LV
Story by @Getthim - A highspeed track inspired by Intro by Ryder
Spectral Dance and Just Jammin by @MartinJulenissen - Two new tracks from MJ, back from the dead
eXtra sunnY, 2fast4me, Khammy, Vidme, and Dissolve by @Min3rl3g4nd - A slew of tracks by a new member
Sonata by @OTDE - A joke
@rabid squirrel also remastered Bolted to the Wall for the Tournament of Legends
@OTDE also made a reinterpretation of Kramwood's track, Forbidden

Engaged Riding

Entries just closed for the December 2015 Contest of the Month - Ornamental, with five entrants! Expect a video soon!
Congrats to @Z_N-Freak for winning the Upwards Maze Contest, and thanks to @OTDE for finally finishing the editing! Watch the results video if you haven't already - the top entries are insane!
The next Community Scenery Project, Triumph is chugging along - feel free to take a part and scene a piece of it!
Blackheart and Forest Scenery projects are also chugging along. Let rabid know if you'd be interested in getting involved.
@Sheldon set new records in both categories of the Height and Distance Challenge with a height of 662 and a distance of 253. Damn!

Version Development

@LoneVampire has released revision 1.51 of Line Rider: Advanced. Major added features include contact point breakage indication, lifelock, transparency with contact points, angle lock, superzoom, adjustable scenery lines, and toggle for white background.
@mhenr18, who some of you may remember from a long time ago, is back with a new utility called lrtools, that converts LRA .trk files to Beta 2 .sol files, making all the current versions mostly compatible. It is currently a mac-only program, but mhenr18 plans to make it cross compatible. In the meantime, ask rabid if you need a .trk converted.

Upcoming Stuff!
