A very interesting list of games and interactive animations, developed with the Blender Game Engine, is available at Blender Game Exposé 2007. The list was compiled by PlantPerson, and shows some really good projects. A must see for anyone interested in the Blender GE!
Over at our friendly neighbours at BlenderArtists.org, Calvin has been working steadily on modeling one of the cutesy characters from the Peach concept art. Read the thread to see his progress – there’s lots of .blend files of the rigged model to download. And if you’re like me you’ll also have a good laugh at the Hamstinator and ChocoHamster ;-) Cool work!

We’re quite late to report this, but there’s still time to submit your work for the Blender Conference 2007 Animation Festival and Suzanne Awards.
Did you always wanted to tell everyone that you are a Blender user? Put a nice signature, to use in forums and e-mails? Well, if you always wanted to do that, but didn`t have a good image to use, a Blender user from Brazil called Otavio just made up some nice Blender Bars.
Blender and its predecessor Traces were originally developed on an SGI, so here’s a tutorial with a bit of history attached.
Last week the Peach team got together in Amsterdam for a pre-production workshop. Ton has posted a nice write-up on the event on the Peach blog. You can find a couple of pics in the Media section. Of course, I was on holiday and couldn’t pay them a visit. Bummer.
