This may interest those of you who don't already have a method of building your projects automatically. I have just released version one of the Buildmeister (http://home.iprimus.com.au/jamjr/tangental/buildmeister/), which will take your source code & media and generate the finished installs automatically.

It was written because of the amount of time it takes to update my projects was getting to be too much - now it builds Juno (my game), B3D Tweak Utility (one of my apps) and itself for me. It's definitely one of the things that you don't know you need until you use it for a while.

Shouldn't this be under News and Announcements Forum ?

Erm, possibly - but the announcements forum is usually for game releases and this is strictly a technical release... hmm...

Sounds nice! When I get nearer release I might buy it.

Also a suggestion: you might add a screenshot to the features page to add some interest and let people see what it looks like when using the tool. I know I was wanting to see it.

Hmm, I may just do that.

Looks pretty sweet. I'll probably download it when I'm a bit further along (i.e. when I actually start production of my slated game).n :)

Having an automatic build system is something that is so easily taken for granted. When you start to use one you quickly wonder how you ever got by in life without it.

Amen to that! I honestly believe that the Buildmeister is a product which could make life that much easier for so many programmers - they just don't know it yet!
