**New Features:**

* It is now possible to add new actors and objects.
**Improvements:**
* Better MacOS compatibility (including experimental support for Monterey; thanks to @techticks)

===== PMD Four =====
//By yakkomon in the SkyTemple Discord server//
I'm sure you realised by now that my last post was an April Fools Day joke then went on for too long because I forgot to delete it when I went to sleep. But rest assured progress on Four is coming along... very slowly. But here's proof that it exists!

Hello everyone! Starting today I will stop developing SkyTemple and instead follow my true passion:
Being a clown.
==== By techticks (DreamNexus) =====
[April Fools 2022]
**DreamNexus 1.0.0 has been released!**
With this release, DreamNexus is out of alpha and skips the beta phase too! Since this update includes literally anything you could ever ask for, upgrading is recommended for all users.
**New features**
* Allows editing every single file format in Rescue Team DX in the UI
* A patch that adds fully explorable friend areas to Rescue Team DX (thx 2 twitter user pmd shit post for creative input)
* Adds full support for PSMD, GTI, Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, Red and Blue Rescue Team and the upcoming Explorers DX. Sorry SkyTemple, but you won't be needed anymore.
* Adds support for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon VR, a game that doesn't even exist. Your spirit can now finally escape its pitiful existence inside the constraining vessel known as the human body.
* P̸l̴e̸a̷s̶e̴ ̴h̷e̷l̴p̴ ̵m̴e̶,̷ ̵m̸y̴ ̴s̷o̵u̴l̷ ̵i̴s̴ ̶g̴e̶t̵t̶i̸n̴g̴ ̵c̵o̸n̷s̷u̴m̵e̷d̶ ̷b̷y̸ ̵t̸h̶e̸ ̵v̷o̷i̴d̴.̷
* Ř̵̥e̸̹͝j̵̙̎ȅ̴̱c̷̮̄t̴̥͂ ̴̨̆ẖ̷̐ú̵͕m̷̪̿ạ̸͗n̷̝̂ǐ̷͉t̴̻͊ý̸̯,̶̨͝ ̷̦̇b̷̝͊e̴̩̿c̸͍͑o̵̞͐m̸̳͝e̵̳͠ ̵͈͠C̷̭̑ẖ̵͗i̸͂ͅm̸̞͂c̸͕̃ḫ̵̿å̶͍r
* Oh, and support for the Adventure Squad games has been added too. Sorry, almost forgot about those.
**Bug fixes**
* Fixes a minor regression that would cause consoles running mods made with DreamNexus to spontaneously implode.
* Fixes a rare crash when running DreamNexus on a Playstation 5 with Raspbian OS during a full moon.

//Later//
Hey everyone, sadly I have to announce that the 1.0.0 release of DreamNexus will be rolled back. The post with the release notes gained a lot of traction on the SkyTemple server due to unforeseen circumstances, so a lot of people over there started to b̸̓͆ë̶́͌c̶͊̕o̷͇̅m̶̓͝e̶͌͝ ̸̉̓c̸̒̓h̸̎̔ỉ̵̕m̶̞̃c̸̆̊h̶̀́â̴͔ȓ̷̏, which opened a rift in the space-time continuum. As a result, Dialga and Palkia showed up in my flat yesterday at 3 AM and proceeded to beat me up until I finally gave in. More importantly, many community members pointed out missing features such as support for Gold Rescue Team and the Shiren games as well as other oversights like missing input via Kinect. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience, but DreamNexus will remain in Alpha until these issues have been addressed. para pls dont ping @/everyone

//Also by JojoRetroGamer in the SkyTemple Discord server//
PMD penguin remaster is a remaster of hack what was never summit to skytemple but was on other websites but now what i fixed soem issues and had Adex and funnykecelonmeme playtest i have figured out the issues. this has Made since people were harming penguins on youtube and show them being harmed and some people found funny. so back then i made this hack out of anger did not find them making jokes about penguin death funny. so i still think harming creatures is not funny or making jokes about killing them your self! but enjoy this short rom hack what is 90% finished. and this last hack i be summiting today, so no other ones coming out today.

As a remainder, you can contribute to on-going publication of this newsletter. Help would really be appreciated. More information can be found on [[org:start|the dedicated page]].
