Drake1009 · 15 July 2003, 07:52

So that's Aslan? I didn't even notice. Well I'm back from vacation. Is it too late to get work for issue 2?

CodyJarrett · 15 July 2003, 09:45

No, there is still time!

MheAd · 15 July 2003, 17:32

You guys just, like "Blah, blah, blah, woof, woof"

and NO magazine at the sight!
When is it expected to come out now again?

CodyJarrett · 15 July 2003, 17:33

When we get time to finish it off!

I'm trying to get my ass in gear, though.

Antiriad · 15 July 2003, 18:12

I have a copy of QuarkExpress again. Thx for the CD Cody

CodyJarrett · 15 July 2003, 19:11

Sorry Anti!

Drake1009 · 15 July 2003, 22:46

Hey up till now they haven't used as much time as has been used on Duke nukem forever. And I'm quite sure it will be better than DNF.

I hope it wont be full of those "games where better before 3D, nowdays all games are boring hype".

CodyJarrett · 16 July 2003, 15:53

The mag is about Amiga games from 1986 to around 1996, not modern games.

cv643d · 16 July 2003, 18:58

ok.. hope you make it. And I meant in a lot of reviews of old games people like to brag about how shitty everything is now and how faboulous everything was back then.

The reviews aren't done from a retro point of view like many lesser reviews you will find on the Internet. The APoV reviews are written in present tense as though it has been written in the year the game was released.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

There will be some bias towards the Amiga of course, but as Steve says the style means that there won't be constant references to recent games.

Speaking for myself, I love new games!

I refuse to pretend to not like something because it's not 'fashionable'.

Twistin'Ghost · 16 July 2003, 20:47

Fashionable? Surely you don't think those artists are were singled out because they aren't fashionable? I find Whitaker's music corny and hackneyed. As for G&S, I just find little to identify with. I can't really identify with Tupac Shakur, either, so I'm not just picking apart your music tastes.

CodyJarrett · 16 July 2003, 20:49

Funnily enough, your opinion isn't some Universal Truth!

I mean that for music and computer games.

I know that, they're just my opinions. Note that I say "I find" several times and that "I'm not just picking apart your musical tastes" to make it clear that it's just my opinions. Anyway, you were the one who suggested 'fashionable' as the reason for not liking the previosuly noted artists, whilst I was just poking some fun at you. No need to get defensive...it's all in fun.

Peace.

Dastardly · 13 August 2003, 23:30

What is the freakin holdup???????????????

APoV update please.

CodyJarrett · 13 August 2003, 23:43

All the reviews and most of the articles are done - we just need some time to finish it off and put it together...

Dastardly · 13 August 2003, 23:49

Im looking forward to it.

Antiriad · 14 August 2003, 00:06

It all takes time Dastardly. I hope its worth the wait.

Besides, even if we only do one mag it will be an achievement in itself.

Dastardly · 14 August 2003, 14:01

I appreciate it takes time but Im an impatient sod and I want it now

I cant wait for it and hope it wont be a one off.

blackcornflake · 16 August 2003, 15:24

It's going to rock big time. Fact.

I'm extremely excited by it all too, and eagerly anticipate seeing the end result of the hard work myself and the rest of the team have put in. We're striving to make the magazine as good as we possibly can, so rest assured the wait will be worth it.

While producing the magazine has involved plenty of graft, it has also been a lot of fun. I feel sure that this will shine through, along with the great affection and respect the team has for the subject matter.

Also looking forward to getting lots of interesting feedback from readers, something that can only help make subsequent issues rock even more.

BobRedthorp · 24 August 2003, 19:39

@blackcornflake

How things coming along?

Cant wait to see the end result!

Hopefully I can be involed in future productions

blackcornflake · 24 August 2003, 21:02

Issue 1 is at a very advanced stage. There is a lot of great content in place. A lot of the time taken has been on 'quality control', if you like, with content already produced being reworked and polished up to the highest standard.

We are looking to expand the team in readiness for Issue 2. I will make a public post with more detail shortly.

BobRedthorp · 10 September 2003, 02:12

Whats the latest guys?

blackcornflake · 12 September 2003, 14:38

Same question, same answer I'm afraid: it is still being worked on. It has moved forward since the last report, but it is not 100% yet.

Not the most satisfactory answer, I know, but that's where it's at.

A considerable factor in the long production time has been the very fact that it is the first edition: from general conceptual material, we have had to actualise the exact look and feel of the magazine and organise its structure, before creating the finished editorial content. We have also had to establish working practices from scratch, and deal with a lot of changes in staff since the project was started.

Good news time: the next issue won't take anywhere near as long to make.

BobRedthorp · 13 September 2003, 01:40

I totally understand,

since it’s the first release, layouts and schemes etc will have to be designed from scratch, and as you say, future releases wont take as long, basically because you will have a something to work from i.e. a template so to speak which will save a great deal of production time.

It’s the small things which take the time though, its better to have a good ting as apposed to a rushed okay thing.

Take your time guys, cos I know it’ll be worth it.

Need any help? Don’t hesitate to ask though!

Antiriad · 13 September 2003, 10:09

Well Bob (sorry if i have this whole Twin Peaks thing with your name

) you could always have a stab at doing Codys comics article

Its cool, Bob, Red, Redthorp, call me anything, its just a made up name anyway,

I could have a go at that if you like, but my stronger points are the graphics side...

blackcornflake · 13 September 2003, 16:26

That's cool, I'm handling the comics article. Many thanks for the offer of support; it is appreciated.

Graphics, you say? Excellent. We need some original work, as it happens. Please see this thread: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11241
