Is that the most ridiculous update title I've ever written? No? Anyway, it's Spooky Month! You know what that means... a bunch of unrelated stuff, because we're months behind. Still...! The biggest MVP this time is DogToon64, with nearly 100 models from Sonic Lost World, Star Wars, and various Mario games. And of course, I have to mention Centrixe the Dodo's fresh batch of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom models! Other highlights include (by coincidence!) the zombie-slaying game OneeChanbara Origin, Monster Hunter, Tony Hawk, and Wind Waker. Be sure to check out the nice big batch of custom models as well! It seems a lot of people have been in a low-poly mood recently.

As always, we're continuing to do our best in reviewing the ever-growing mountain of submissions. Despite our extra-large update last month, the previous queue record was smashed with well over 7000 submissions. For those of you who have pending submissions and want to know how you can help us, the best thing you can do is double-check your own submissions to ensure everything is good and ready. We spend hours of our time fixing minor mistakes and remaking missing or bad icons, which slows down the process for everyone.

Not sure what to do? Here are some suggestions:
• Read the submission guidelines if you haven't already. If you're new here, you may have missed an important rule.
• Use the Model Checker Tool to test your models. It can help you find and fix simple mistakes that would otherwise slow down the review process.
• Make proper transparent icons for all of your submissions! I cannot stress enough how helpful this is to us. Don't know how to make a transparent render in Blender? Don't know how to set up good-looking lighting? Don't know how to use alpha transparency in materials? Try looking on YouTube for tutorials. Even if you think you don't have enough time to learn or make them, trust me, you have plenty of time to learn and practice.
• Use the "Notes" section of your submission to write down any questions or important information. If the developers made a mistake and you notice it, writing a note could save the submission from being rejected.
• Ask the community to look at your submission if you're unsure about it. There are lots of knowledgeable people here who can give you advice if you make a mistake or don't know what something means.

Anyway, enjoy!
