Naelurec got some more interesting updates and custom models. I'm truly interested in seeing where this one goes. The latest update shows a toxic-looking planetscape:

The old master of lighting, Wolf, put up some powerful looking screenshots of a yet unnamed game.
I'm pretty impressed with how far he's come even given his already somewhat legendary status in the community.
Schn33ky posted a game called Dilly Dally Derby, which is actually a complete work at this time:
It's a betting game where you choose a horse and it randomly runs them out. It's interesting to me because this is actually a game very similar to one I made back years ago in school. I used monster trucks myself, but I can appreciate the work that went into this.
The biggest news is that Duchenkuke revealed a secret project he's been working on that is now available for public consumption.
Note the custom interface, impressive lighting, use of a powerful vignette and just overall professional feel of the work.
A perhaps better example is this gem:
The atmosphere is intense and palpable. He put a lot of work into the sound design and environments, it features a variety of enemies and is available to be wishlisted on steam (Which I personally recommend doing!) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/657480/Dark_Skies_The_Nemansk_Incident/?beta=0
