I'm especially looking for reviewers (if you're interested but don't have a game to review, contact me and I'll set you up).

I also need a game for the Gallery, as always.

I wonder if I can be quicker this time (What was it, six months last time?) and get my foreshadowing tutorial.

Don't plan on it, but I think I could give it a shot.
Later days,
Matthew

And those who don't
May the good Lord turn their hearts
And if he doesn't
May he turn their ankles
So we'll know them by their limping

hmm.... I've noticed the last two issues you haven't mentioned waiting on my articles... could it be that they are some of the 'substandard' work you can't bear publishing? Well tough shit, cause I'll be sending you the new one by the end of this week!

If you're really stuck for a game I've just finished the final beta test of 'The Dark Castle', yet another miniRPG, but seeing as its not graphicly proficiant (even by my standards), don't stop looking for candidates just yet...

I'd prefer to get a different game for the Gallery, because there has been shooter overkill in the magazine for the last two issues. (The last two galleries, and the poll last month, plus two reviews of shooters.)

And honestly, they're all pretty much the same. There's never any originality in space shooters. I want to feature something unique.

I will try my best to get my next tutorial in for the next QBE but I cannot make any promises. Things are exceedingly busy here right now... :?

yeah, I dissapeared for quite a while... totally consumed by my uni graphics course. http://19day.com/notjournal/ my blog has details on what hell my life has been at late, why did I take that course, ugh.

And now I've got exams, starting with, of course, graphics, tomorrow. And my exams go to the 18th. So I'll not likely be able to do anything for this issue either.... but after this exam period, assuming I pass everything... I'm done... university over, just have to go back for convocation and get my diploma... then I get to work at wendy's or something :P

No problem. If you want to continue your PHP series in Issue #10 or later, that's fine. Good luck on your tests. I know the feeling...I've got about ten huge projects I've got to do over the next month for my classes, and also exams the first week of May. So yeah, don't be surprised if the April Issue is a bit smaller than usual (not to mention the huge drop in submissions from the last two months)...

I know, but I already told you: we've featured space shooter for the last two galleries, plus two or three space shooter reviews. I'm holding out for something original... If I don't get anything else, I'll do it on SpaceMerc.

No offense, but I just wish somebody would come up with an original game once in a while...

I can only do game plot lines myself. I only do general coding. I'll tell you what though. If I can get a few people together we can come up with a short demo for a game in a month. That would be original. Too bad it couldn't be this month.
Later days,
Matthew
