WRTL Newsletter #7 - February 2015

• We want to reinstate Contest Trophies! Help us make the graphics.
  
• After a long wait, we have a new featured video, Silent Flame Scened. (And a few more on the way!) Remember that anyone can vote for which videos should be featured in the Discussion Section)
  
• The Sunday Squirrel Broadcast livestream series is so far a success! Tune in every Sunday for a couple hours to see a whole variety of Line Rider things. (afternoon for US, nighttime for Europe)

• Supersonic Motion by @Rafael - An incredible  "hyperspeed" track by Rafael, with a fantastic music sync and a crazy finish.
  
• Wot by @Conundrumer - A new track by Conundrumer, featuring liberal use of kramuals and a custom soundtrack that really makes it a must watch.
  
• Silent Flame Scened by The WeRideTheLines Community Scenery Project - The community scenery project is back with a track four years in the making that will knock your socks off. Features a massive ending monument by @Getthim, @Opal Rider, and myself.
  
• Gospel by @OTDE - OTDE returns with an awesome new slow-paced manuquirk synced to Leonard Cohen.
  
• Astir by @Votale and @Summoning - Summoning and Votale (though mostly summoning) are back with another funky XY with liberal use of green lines.
  
• Sylveon by @Kevansevans - Kevans releases a surprisingly large synced omnitrack that is a joy to watch. Features lots of flatsledding that you will probably enjoy.
  
• Perpetuo by The WeRideTheLines Community Collaboration - The WCC has released a scened track! This collaboration had a totally unique concept - take a repeating track and have lots of people scene it in lots of different ways. The result is pretty cool.
  
• Hybrid Eclipse by @Kramwood - Kramwood's highspeed battle track with Rafael - the highest speeds of a major track release ever released, and more of all the stuff we know and love from Kramwood.
  
• Wolf's Legacy by @Inukaza - Inukaza returns, with an omnitrack that's a notable step up from his previous tracks.
  
• Freedom of Choice by @Getthim and @Dapianokid - "Gap" release their first omnitrack, with a wide variety of styles and tricks due to the differences in style of the collaborators.
  
• Satalyte by @GhostY - GhostY returns with a surprisingly entertaining XY after a long absence.
  
• Shell Shocked by @RyderLR - ryder releases a new track featuring some notable quirk, lots of airtime, and tons of delicious music syncs.
  
• Infiltration by @Kramwood - A highspeed flatsled track by Kramwood with some seriously impressive recycles.
  
• Sweet and Sour by @Orthuss and Getthim - Orthuss and Getthim are out with a surprisingly entertaining and fun micro-XY.
  
• Good Enough by @Chuggers - A highspeed flatsled track by Chuggers with some hilarious editing.
  
• Twist by @theacp127 - theacp returns, with a manuqurik with some green line misdirection.
  
• Trackbits #2 by @Lukking -  Lukking finally continues his TrackBits series where he recreates well-known tracks, this time with Dacite by Georgio_Jc.
  
• Rock On by @mmtunligit12 - a new track from mmt

• Words have been said. The Rematch is at hand. Go vote for the Highspeed Battle between Hybrid Eclipse by Kramwood and Supersonic Motion by Rafael!
  
• The Weirdest Track Contest returns with Part 2! Go make weird tracks, everyone. Also, vote for the winner of the first weird track contest, since there never was one.
  
• Two new community projects were started this month, the Offsled Collab, started by @Chuggers, and the Anonymous Collab, started by @Kevansevans. You should check both of them out and make a part! (But don't tell anyone you're making a part in the anon collab)
  
• Clarifaction Scened is also complete, thanks to @Yobanjojoe (wooo!) but the Forest Scenery project and the community scenery project Phunky are both sitting idle, waiting for someone to take them. Help us out!
  
• The Battle Royale is nearing an end, as soon as I can release my track. Sorry for the holdup, everyone. Once I release it (which should be soon) we will vote!
  
• We have a new contest - the Music Sync Exchange Contest. Swap the music of two well known tracks and upload a video to compete!
  
• The Tales of Twenty collab is finished, we just need someone to record and edit a video (anyone?). The Experiment Collab and the 200 Line Collab are still going on if you want a low-key community collab to take part in.
  
• Blackheart is moving along slowly but surely. We may need more people to help GhostY finish the alt quirk section, so stay tuned.

• No new news for LineOnline, but @Kevansevans continues to add more features to 3.4.X - additions this month include the hotly debated tail fakie toggle (see an example of one here), variable watermark text, new camera settings, and arbitrary zoom levels

• Clarifaction Scened will be released as soon as I get around to recording and editing. (Not in a huge rush since the CSP just had a release)

Kramwood wrote:Lol Infiltration is anything but a "Highspeed Flatsled"

more like a midspeed manuquirk with recycles.
