Thanks to all.

SSH: I did write the historical tutorial myself, hope you liked it.
Yufster: This thread is going too off-topic, why don't you create a new one, OR EVEN work on the game and prove me goddamn wrong?

PS: Darth?

Not that it belongs to me, but...

QuoteI'm working very hard on Luna, despite the fact it may openly seem as though I am making random posts over at lucasforums, agsforums and adventuregamers forums, drinking a lot of soda, making sporadic television appearances, watching others make sporadic television appearances, listening to Iron Maiden and the Gone Jackals... while it may seem like I am in fact not working on Luna, I can assure you that I am.

This is from somewhere she has wrote to...

btw. Irom Maiden rocks

WOW!

Talk about a tangent!

I got so caught up in reading this thread, I forgot to reply to it.

Vel - I'll get the online version up and running as soon as I can!

Ami - you have an absolutely brilliant writing style. Please write a book so I can read it.

PS
What is Grim Fandango?

Luna has nothing whatsoever to do with anything that has something to do with anything Tim Schafer might have anything to do with!!!

What part of that don't you people understand!?!

Ami is like a little 5 year old , lol (no offense).Poor thing , doesn't understand shes being teased.

This game does sounds alot like grim fandango , except without skeletons , and an original plot. It sound ok but Grim fandango was much more original , a skeleton travel salesman MY GOD how did he think that up ?!!??!

Dude, that doesn't reffer to yufster only...

Ishmael · Mon 19/04/2004 19:28:24

Hey! A pink elephant nicked my copy of the Ezine.....

Anyway, I have to agree with DM... Write a book, Yufster!

Major off topic-ness. Vel, if you want this thread pruned PM me. Otherwise, locky locky.

Vel · Tue 20/04/2004 15:30:35

Thanks for unlocking this, m0ds.

This itself is off-topic, but I don't think this thread was really that far off-topic, as the main thrust of discussion was about the preview of Yufster's game, which was in the ezine...

To stay on-topic, I did like the tutorial: there were a few ideas that might help me formalise what I'm doing and hopefully focus my mind on getting a demo out and then on to the full game...

Migs · Tue 20/04/2004 19:38:11

Nice E-zine, Vel. Heavily opinionated, as usual.

Very good tutorial with some great tips.

LordHart · Tue 20/04/2004 23:47:26

If anyone has made a PDF version of it, send it to lordhart@tdrdesign.net and I'll upload it to my server.

I feel somewhat unhappy that you didn't tell me you were going to publish my quick notes about Donna as a stand-alone article, Vel.

Had I known about this, I would spend more time on making it both better in stylistic and grammatical aspects and more enjoyable to the public. The text was intended for you just to get an idea about the game and write a proper preview. It's a bit ironical that you introduce me as a professional writer and then publish my unsystematised and linguistically lacking notes.

LGM · Wed 21/04/2004 01:09:40

Vel's kind of "weird" like that. He kinda just does things without thinking/acting/being human...

Vel · Wed 21/04/2004 09:44:17

Goldmund, I didn't intend you to write the preview when I contacted you, but when I read it, I thought that it would fit nicely for it.
Migs: Thanks.
Ultimo: Thanks for hosting.

SSH · Wed 21/04/2004 12:44:34

Goldmund, if it's any consolation, the preview still looks good to me. Also, bear in mind that in a magazine where you sit next to a Yufster interview, you're bound to look like a Nobel Literature Laureate...

Nacho · Wed 21/04/2004 12:52:21

And compared with me you're the hyper-mega-super-ultra-Nobel of the galaxy...

Karimi: I realized I was being teased; I was playing along

I did write a book, once. Well, I wrote on the book. Well, more specifically, I guess I didn't write a book at all.

Vel: I love the idea of reading about others games. However, I dislike my consistently incorrect use of punctuation, and the layout. It seems unprofessional, and there are many spelling mistakes. Also, it's just too heavily opinionated. Other than that, it's a good thing. Maybe you should hire writers?

Vel@school · Fri 23/04/2004 14:17:10

Yufster: This is an AMATEUR ezine for AMATEUR games. The layout is as requested two issues ago. So either enjoy it or don't download it.

Drugster · Fri 23/04/2004 14:24:11

Woah, hold your horses. Keep your trousers on. Slam the brakes. Don't implode.

I'm just saying the layout could be improved. That doesn't mean I don't like the rest of the ezine.

Just because it's amatuer doesn't mean it has to appear that way.
