A short post to highlight an early Apprentice (Rainbow Arts) screen that was shown in ACE magazine issue 27 on page 110. Here you can see a screenshot with a different dashboard, without text and as Anonymous Contributor suggests, perhaps … Continue reading
Just a very quick post to share a few pre-release versions of Hawkeye and Armalyte. Nothing to get too excited about, and the Hawkeye version has already been put out last year – just slightly under the radar. The purpose … Continue reading
