In the past two weeks, after the finalization of the 1st Stage for our Game Development Contest many things have been added to the website, new services and files uploaded as well as new articles written. Many things to report in this news article so let's get started and make our way through each event in detail.

On our old website we begun providing a GPS Tracking service but with all the changes we made to the site we had to find the proper place to put it. Now that we have a lightning fast server and plenty of bandwidth speed to maneuver. We have integrated this service once again right into our website so that everything is nice, clean and easy to find. We already made a GPS Tracker as one of many Gizmos we have in the shop so having a service that goes with it was only a reasonable thing to do.

However, this doesn't mean that if you have a GPS Tracker already then you cannot use it. If you already have a GPS Tracking device and for some reason don't want to use our own then we will gladly integrate it's protocol into our service for Free and provide you the service once everything is communicating. Since we are an Open Source community and do the Web design as everything else our selves it is easy for us to customize the interface, add additional sensor reports or anything else you might need, into our Tracking service. So no matter what your request is we shall gladly help.

Unlike most companies we do not require long term fees for the service and you are free to use it for the period you wish and then just unsubscribe. Having our own server also means that we take seriously security issues and your subscription as everything else on the website will stay private. The fees we require are low and we only use them to basically pay the service expenses and keep it alive since we also use it to experiment with new devices all the time.

Besides the link to the Tracking service located on the above image you can also find it in the Other Links menu, on the Right bottom side of the front page.

We added a new and quite informative feature into our website, News-Letters. We post news every week (some times every two weeks due to special events) and it can be hard to keep up with what we do unless you visit the website often. For the time being we have only a General Newsletter which if subscribed to will be sent to you every end of the Month with all the news in short and all the events that were happening on our site. It's a good way to stay informed and also receive nice surprises such as discount coupons to use in our shop. The subscription is free and we put allot of effort into making it as informative as possible. If you want to stay informed about what we do then we highly recommend subscribing to it. You will find the Subscription Form in the Bottom right part of our Front page, it's hard to miss :)

Project Sources

There has been quite allot of work going on behind the scenes for all in-progress projects in our Project Manager, we often get carried away with all the work and simply don't have the time to document it all (for this reason we created the project management). Keep on reading to find out what has been going on in the project section along with new project templates on game development that were created for current and future game developers for our Ares Gaming Platform.
