Title: When will the new AGS ezine be released?
Post by: Vel on Wed 01/10/2003 10:36:03
I just received several messages from people whose games /may/ be reviewed in the ags ezine. They all asked me when will the new ezine be out. Guys, the ezine is monthly, but that does not mean that it will be ready on the 1st of october. Now with school started, I do not have as much time to work. Anyway, it will be released soon. Sorry for the stupid post, but I get p*ssed off replying these.

Vel, I think it should be your duty, as someone who asks endless amounts of questions, pointless questions, to other people, to reply to each and every single one of those emails you recieved  :P

Treat others as you wish to be treated. Or I'll cave yer face in. ;)

Does that mean that you want everyone else to release their demos and games to you waaaay behind schedule, too?  :P

Anyway, m0ds, at least I release my stuff on time /though it is nowhere near FoY/

Okie doke, I'll never set a release date or schedule again, you'll just have to be left waiting :)

Um. Vel. So far you've had a personal dig against somebody in an issue, you don't have a definite release date (Although as you said, maybe that's because of the workload) and now you're complaining about the amount of emails you get from people asking about the AGSzine. Plus it's full of spelling mistakes and punctuation errors.

I think a little proffesionalism wouldn't go amiss. You savvy? Just because you're making a free service for AGS users doesn't mean it should be a crap service. If you don't have time to do it properly, you shouldn't do it at all.

M0ds: setting no deadline is better than lying.

Yufster: Ill do my best.

All: Making the ezine does not depend only on me. There are tutorials, interviews etc, and thats why you may have to wai tlonger than I wish. Anyway, you wont this month.

I disagree with Yufster, because I love everything about the AGS ezine, and I think that when people are offering up their free time for others, it's always good, no matter what the result might be. I only asked you through a PM, when it will be released, because I like to read newspapers, and this ezine is excactly what I love to read! I'd just felt that I should write this to you, and I encourage you to keep making this, but also if you can't get the time because of school or your girlfriend (if you have one :p) then it's OK also... and then I'll wait just some more time :)

Keep up the good work!

I would have to disagree about the lying bit. Take Tim Schafer for example. He's the best liar ever, and people love him for it.

I give you the following brilliant lies (Although the first one is more of a confession):

QuoteYELLOW AGAIN, and still no art. Why do I LIE? For attention? Or PROFIT?    

Quote...our first game is a little--just a smidge--on the late side...

QuoteLast night I was working late and saw a ghost in the office. It was on a scooter.


QuoteAnd if you listen to what he says the meaning is obvious: Ed thinks that Double Fine Productions is THEE GREATEST GAME COMPANY EVER OF ALL TIME EVER. And after that part, he adds that he loves us, and has a crush on many of us, and wishes we all hung out more, and that if we're not doing anything this weekend, he'd like to see the Hulk with all of us, and then maybe play Pictionary after and have root beer floats.

QuoteI am the Living and Immortal Spirit of Good Times--I simultaneously exist at all parties in all dimensions simultaneously.

QuoteComing soon: Screenshots!

QuoteAnd now for some news about the game... Right after THIS!

Minimi, I'd have to agree with Yufster - I'd have to do my best, nevertheless Im doing it for a song. Some of the issues may have had a typo or two, but that is just because when I have all the things I need, I sit and write the whole ezine. After 6-8 hours of hard mental work, I am very tired and do not spot everything wrong. Again, my appologies.

so am i right...

you're upset that people are interested enough in the AGSezine and that it's popular enough that they take time out of their day to contact you and ask you when it's coming out?

must be rough man
Title: Re:When will the new AGS ezine be released?
Post by: Vel on Thu 02/10/2003 10:28:04
No, instead of answering all their pms and emails one by one, I am posting a thread. And I do not see why should I answer them one by one, since they do not contain any critics other than "Cool". Again, sorry for my laziness. You won't regret it.
