+
+[Blue Engine][be-github] by [@ElhamAryanpur] is an easy to use, extendable, and
+portable graphics engine built to make it easier to render 2D or 3D graphics.
+
+Although the month of Febuary was slow for the development of the engine, there
+have been significant efforts towards addition of [documentation][be-docs] and the
+eventual release of the next version. In the meantime, the plugins have favored significant
+updates and development in the month, notably the [egui][be-egui] plugin.
+
+Now the [egui plugin][be-egui] allow you to render objects of the engine direction
+inside an egui window. This feature was built in collaboration with [@Noswad].
+
+This also introduced a new option in Objects: `is_visible: bool`
+which hides an object
+from getting rendered if set to false (set to `true` as default). This allows
+you to hide an object from getting rendered on the background of egui, and can then
+add it to be rendered inside an egui window instead. So far the system on the second
+design, suggestions are welcome to cement a better design. Refer to [example][be-egui-example].
