May I ask... why just "A"?

so far the site is very nice.  I'm still looking.

[Sylpher]

My gentle jab at Oprah

[Barcik]

Just wondering - why not all join AGDzine?

[Mikko]

I'll be back for more interviews! They were great!

Keep up the good work.

[RickJ]

Sylph:  Nice clean format.  I appreciate the simplicity of it.  

[Pumaman]

Nice work Sylpher and minions - the interviews definately add a nice touch to the site

[Jimi]

wow. Its simple enough even for me. That realy deserves a good round of appaulse

[Helm]

Excellent! Daisy interview! Maybe stick my daisy comics in there somewhere.

[BOYD1981]

what is daisy and where can i download, if that's possible, her?
dr. sbaitso is starting to annoy me

[Czar]

Yeah, its nice, but idont even know who is daisy( i supose a bot on #ags?).
And i think the reviewers should add more reference to the producers, that is their hompage, so we know where to download it.
And maybe if you the reviewers agree, to add marks?Or not, cause that could be maybe a little ?controversial?.

Just mentioning Dr. Sbaitso brings back so many fond memories.

And more on-topic, great initiative. Very legible layout and such. How much? Such much!

[edmundito]

Oh,  so that's what the interview was for.. I just thought Grundislav wanted to ask me some questions for no reason

[Sylpher]

Thanks everyone.

Barick: I wanted something that was more readily available and frequently updated. I figured by now someone would have made an AGS news site but since none have I decieded to make one...

Simpleness: Thanks, I tried to keep it as clean and easy to read as possible. I am a big fan of sites with few eye sores and more content. As well simple sites are easy on 56k and printers so...

The site will be updated as frequently as possible so keep an eye on it.

Oh sorry, Daisy is a conversation bot. With mind blazing AI that would make you swear you are talking to another person...I forgot where the software is located try google or perhaps someone will post a link.

Well, what I mean is that there is no need for competition, or just plainly more than one such E-Zine for a community such as ours. It doesn't matter whether it is A, or AGDZine, or Vel's E-Zine, I just believe we want to see people from all E-Zines put their best effort and do the best AGS one we have seen.

Workers of the world, unite!


Find Daisy (and Billy) here.

[Hobbes]

Loved every single word! The reviews and interviews were particularly good. Well, the Daisy one didn't make that much sense, but somehow I think that's supposed to be the case.

The layout is indeed perfect. It's effective. Most web developers go for the eye candy and forget that a website still has to serve its function: give information. You hit the mark here!

A small question though, on the Articles. If I want to write one and it was of such quality that you would publish it, would you?

Oh, and I'll ask Unilin something soon. *grin*

Once again, nice work!

[Minimi]

Yes a question here... do you guys from A ags news, pick things to write about, or can we also send our articles to you? Or can we ask for an arrangement for an interview, for example when your about to release a decent game?!

[m0ds]

Very nice Sylpher Bleh.

[Sylpher]

Thanks again..

Barick: I understand what your saying...I dunno maybe something will work out.

Hobbes/Minimi. I don't see any problems with guest articles but please make sure you contact me and am sure I am aware and have agreed to an article and its context before expecting it to be published.

Although I would appretiate the hard work I would prefer to be informed before hand. To avoid hate mails of 'I worked so hard on this and you publish it now please GRR I HATE YOU' and the likes...

As far as picking what to write about..It is basically what is happening or what is on the mind. I try to leave all the writers free to write what they like...They pick the games they want to review, who they want to interview and what they want to write about. The only thing I really do to govern it is say like 'We are sorta short on reviews we need more!' or whatever..I am sure cases will come up where a certain game or article will 'need' to be written but otherwise it is a free-for-all.

[Sylpher]

Czar, Sorry didn't catch your edit till now. I don't want to do the whole rating thing cause on a hole almost every rating system has a flaw. I prefer someone to say whether they liked or disliked the game and why. Simple as that.

But as far as homepages and such people are always moving around and the task of keeping up links after awhile will become quite a pain. The reviewers generally mention the creator somewhere in the review. Otherwise you can find pretty much every game on the Games page or in the Finished games thread so they shouldn't be too hard to track down.
