Another good, job! However I did see some word shifting, like the word was cut in half horizontally and was shifted a little, it seemed to be on every page.

Nice mag. Is Untitled the title, or will it be named at some point?

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

Very nice issue! You should show more communities and track how many downloads you get, you might be able to get paying advertising!

You should all check out the music in games special

Good to see everyone's having such a good reaction to this one too . A lot of the credit goes to Rami, he puts it all together, I just write about 1/3 of it .

Glad that everybody is enjoying the mag. The Dumbow & Cool add did cost Drew his soul, and he has been enslaved to create indie games for us to play for many years to come. Good stuff, in other words.

Don't forget to have a go with the contest in the music article!

That mistake prolly has something to do with deadlines, Gil .

In any case, do check out the contest. We think the prize is pretty cool for game developers: a full action music track by Junkrock. It's in the music section.

Untitled is the title, which can lead to some hilarious problems. Do check out the Daily Spy if you'd like to know what kind of problems .

Great issue

I was really enjoying all the information you guys got from Geisha House

Great issue. I've only read a few pages, but what's there is impressive. Although there were a couple of things that didn't quite sound right. But I'm just nitpicking, as usual.

I haven't been using the forums as much as I used to, but I download and printed out then subsequently read your magazine. I have to say, great work! I was impressed with the reviews and the amount of work which has went into the magazine.

I thought that it was a crow that was flying around in Geisha House, not an eagle. either way, good read!

Support the indie!

Well, to me it looked like an eagle. As Cash checked for factual errors in the review, I think he must either think it's an eagle, or that he just doesn't care which bird is flying around .

Thanks for the kind words .

Pretty cool mag! I liked last issue as well. The only complaint I have about this one is that some of the text blocks seemed to overlap each other, but that may be because Adobe Acrobat wants to update itself and maybe this issue isn't compatible with last version of Acrobat?

Yes, I have the same problem at work. It's taking a lot of brainpower to re-align the sentences You should definitely offer up the high-res version as an option on your site for those of us who don't care about filesize!

For all who are experiencing the overlapping lines problem: zoom to a level other than 100%, and it should go away.

Quote: "An outro (sometimes "outtro") or extro means the conclusion to a piece of music, literature or television program. "

Hmm, odd, it appears to an issue on certain computers only. My PC doesn't have it, nor does Gil's (except for on one page, where it was minimal). So... well, we'll put up a high res coming few days.

Glad you all like it .

Haven't finished reading it, but it's a very satisfying read! Your Fallout 3 preview brought the Fallout series to my attention - it sounds interesting.

Only a few minor quibbles with grammar, and sentence structure. But I'm a literature freak, so meh

I'm not actually a Kiwi, I just randomly thought it up one day.
