Is it just me or do most of the images look like they've been attacked by a pair of scissors?

Maybe just me since i'm not using Microsoft Word.

This is the first AGS Ezine I've read ... it was pretty good!  I like the concept of it.

What is the web page for it?

Very good Ezine..........and i`m not just saying it for any points or to lick arse.

My general opinion of you mr vel has been well and truly improved after reading this.......

The fact that you approached its content in a very fair way ........

ps   can i get the reward for turning myself in ????????

As much as i`d normally hate to say this.........keep up the good work on your ezine............its the best one yet.

Well, I dont think that it is the best one yet; the thing that I've improved is only the layout.

and again a very nice piece of read, vel!
I really like the fruityloops tutorial, because it just learned me some little other things, that I didn't knew :)

Nice work Vel, my only critic goes to the layout of midi tutorial :P I mean, some lines of the text were meant to be under some of the pictures, and some pictures were kinda screwed up... but I hope you guys and gals find it useful :)
Title: Re:AGS ezine issue 6
Post by: Vel on Sun 16/11/2003 14:17:10
I know pete, but the pictures were just too big to fit the columned layout. Anyway, you did a great job.

I hope this doesn't bother anybody ... I did this on my own.  If this is/was a big "no-no" just tell me and I'll take this down.

But when I dl'ed the newest eZine the first thing that came to my mind was that there wasn't a place to view it online.  You have to dl a .doc or a .pdf.

So I whipped this up today:

AGS Ezine #5 :: November 2003 (http://www.twin-design.com/agsezine/nov2003_cover.cfm)

* note: the subject says issue 6, but the cover says issue 5 ... so I made it issue 5.  Wasn't sure ...

Hope this is okay, and if so, that you all like it.

that looks really good darth

i just hope this sways his opinion on a web version

just cause it's online doesn't mean it still can't be issue based

Agreed, Eric.  There's really nothing wrong with having it online.  I for one much prefer it.  I don't like having to fuss around with downloads for things like this.

Thanks a bunch, Darth.  Very clean, and a good translation from the original (and I like how you arranged the pics in Petteri's tutorial to fit the text).

I think more people would read it, too; if it were able to be viewed online.

Now Darth has practically given you a template to work off of to, you could just replace the images and text if you were to adopt this style in future... Assuming he was alright with that...

Darth, that looks really good!
The bad thing is that I really suck at html, and cant do it. Nor do I have the time to do an html version of the ezine. I never said a web version was a bad thing, but I cannot do it myself. If you'd like to, do it.

Post by: Darth Mandarb on Mon 17/11/2003 15:11:26
Everytime you make a .doc file for the Ezine just send it to me (or I can get it from a post like this) and I'll make an online version.

I don't mind doing it at all!

I'll even continue to host it :)

Okay, but I'd like to continue providing the pdf version. Thanks again!

Post by: Darth Mandarb on Mon 17/11/2003 15:21:05
Absolutely!  

You make the Ezine just like you have been (and doing a darn fine job) and I'll just convert it over to a webpage!

web version is excellently done.....

Post by: Squinky on Mon 17/11/2003 22:55:39
Yep, if there wasn't a web version, I doubt I would even check it out...
But yeah, very cool....

/me wonders what it would take to get one of his crappy games reviewed

Squinky, I will most probably review PF3 this month, because I didnt have enough time to play it in october/november.
