Vel · Thu 04/09/2003 17:03:30

Will someone please convert it to pdf?

AJA · Thu 04/09/2003 17:09:51

Yeah... I won't even download that doc, because OpenOffice doesn't display it as it should be displayed. Pdf works better..

Once again, an excellent read. Am seriously looking forward to Goldlagoon now. The style of the game is just so wonderful. Simple, yet very, very good looking.

And, of course, how could I think this is a bad issue? Buccaneer got 94%! Wahey!

Vel · Thu 04/09/2003 17:45:20

AJA: here's the pdf.

Hobbes: it got 94% MAGS score, which isnt quite like the normal rating system.

Yep, a good read, its good to know what games are being released, hopefully i will get to play them ^_^

Keep at it

Evil · Fri 05/09/2003 01:23:46

Very good. I still want to see some art tutorials in these. I will be willing to do one if you would like...

Minimi · Fri 05/09/2003 08:22:41

Wow, I read this ezine for the first time, and with it also all ezine's before it, and I love it! Yay, I was in the ezine

I really really love it!

Great issue Vel!

One little thing about the pdf version that annoys me is the "What should the ending be in an adventure game?"-heading. It appears isolated at the very bottom of page 8. It really ought to be moved down to the top of page 9.

Oh yeah, and "Shadowplay" is written in one word (I know, it really SHOULD be in two, but the title is one word). Nice to be mentioned though

Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Vel... I'll download it as soon as I get home.

Vel · Fri 05/09/2003 10:29:49

Evil: Maybe sometime in the future
Minimi: thanks
GG: Okay, sorry for the mistake. Its just the spelling and grammar check that made me write it into two words.
AJA: hope you like it.

Another cool e-zine from Vel. It's good to have regular things like this that keep the major announcements, releases etc. documented. I don't necessarily know everything that's going on so it was a good read. The Buccaneer review was spot-on, it is a great example of a short but involving AGS game. Don't be too harsh on m0ds for missing his deadlines though!

Scorpiorus · Fri 05/09/2003 12:51:45

Very interesting! I've enjoyed reading the issue. Great work!

~Cheers

m0ds · Fri 05/09/2003 22:44:57

Yeah, thanks a bunch Vel.

What you wrote about me and "deadlines" just isn't poetry.

Now I GOTTA read it just to see what was said.....

Vel · Sat 06/09/2003 15:12:54

Heh, it was nothing but a joke. And it was true.

Vel · Mon 08/09/2003 11:09:45

Can someone post comments about the endings article?

GarageGothic · Tue 09/09/2003 13:08:43

I enjoyed the endings article, although it was very brief. Especially regarding multiple endings. Also, maybe you could have elaborated a bit on the examples - without giving away too much, which is always a problem. If people haven't played or just don't remember the games, the examples weren't much help.

I hope you'll write some more about endings. I think it's a topic which would make for a great design theory discussion.
