ELLIEJANE'S PROFILE

Speaking of that, feel free to feature any of my reviews in this magazine. One gem that I discovered recently was SnowOwl's Reap and Sow. It is currently in development and kind of goes under the radar. Here's my review.

Thank you so much for that - it'll really help.

This is very nice! Although it may be nice to find a ranking of "active" members in your ranking list. I'm pretty sure that even though RRR has had 106k members in the past, now it's not as active. At least it was like that the last time that I been there. Dramas happened, people left, etc.

Unfortunately nowhere really publishes that kind of figure well, except maybe RMNet.

I too enjoyed the tips and tricks section - I think smaller bits like that can be popular (the idea of pointing out errors/bugs or anecdotes is nice). How about character spotlights? Just small bits to fill in parts. And also, once you get more people into reading, how about a 'puzzle' or challenge thing? Encourage a bit of interaction. Set a small challenge like 'make a map of x', 'code a thing' or something and then pick a winner to show a few weeks later. Just an idea.

That sounds a neat idea. I worry about what to do if there are no submissions, but I guess that's just me being negative. I'll work something like that in.

...it needs a serious makeover, i.e, better page design.

Probably. I'm not a brilliant graphics wizard. I like to think I'm improving from the first issue of HBG but I know it's not quite there yet.

(I know the HBgames zine was criticized earlier for having in-jokes and jabs but honestly I have no problem with in-jokes so long as they're easy enough to get in on, and not tied to a particular forum or whatever)

I think once it's established and there's a good following, in-jokes and such will sort of flow naturally, especially if more regular writers get on board. I'm happy with it being a bit casual so long as it's not too much either way.

Hi guys, issue 1 is out now. I excitedly anticipate your hate mail / frownfaces.

Comments so far range from "wow this is super useful great tutorials A++++" to "I don't get this".

I went through this and contacting support so many times eventually I just pirated it. Bloody DRM. I bought it, I own it, it should be simple.

Filesharing more serious than murder

what country are you even in :/

Guys have a sneak preview RMNET EXCLUSIVE BECAUSE I'M RATHER DRUNK RIGHT NOW of issue 1. It will be longer than 15 pages. Bare/bear in mind this is a day's work so.



YEAH!
