Hi all,



The Game Creators monthly newsletter Issue 10 is out now and what a bumper packed issue it is! We have an exclusive interview with Bjorn Lynne, Audio Manager for Team17 Software - creators of the new Worms3D. You can also win some of his CD's in a mini competition. This issue we're also giving away free the commercial game StarWraith 2 to every reader. Other news includes exclusive first shots of RiftSpace, a playable demo of Axes of Evil, several new IDEs in development, CGT 2004 sponsorship, Retro Remakes results and plenty more!

Cheers,

Rich

Not nescessarily... you see, over time we can estimate that more readers will join the newsletter and your odds will continue to decrease.

lol, yeah but i'm pretty sure Rich doesn't know that kind of information about Van
i did find a funny one that the filter wouldn't allow the other days, something silly like crapola or something.

Quote: "Moonshine.. hey! you've got like a 1 in 6000 chance or something - it's better odds than the lottery!"


1/6k chances, phew we've had a bussle of new people recently then

you know, i have a little gripe about the newletter.
would've it of made more sense to put all of the ide announcements together? its just all in the individual places like that ti shows favouritism, and seems a little weird - kinda like thier ad breaks

Agreed. Categories would be nice also, like:

"In Development"
"New Release"
"Interview"

etc.

Did Bjorn actually say that... I doubt it... It would have been an odd thing to say at the time...

Btw, great read...

crap isn't swear filtered

Quote: "Did Bjorn actually say that... "


Yes because I conducted the interview via email and I told him to include links to his CDs in it

I had to edit a little bit out for length's sake, but mostly it's all there.

Quote: "Categories would be nice also"


I'll think about it. Until the newsletter started getting so lengthy it didn't matter that much. Will trial it for issue 11.

Cheers,

Rich

'lol... what a funny cuss preventor, doesn't allow s**t or c**t but allows bastard lol'

Bastard always struck me as a mild curse, around the area of crap. It offends certain circles however, so I tend to avoid it... still, it's such a fun word

This issue really freaked me out because three days before the newsletter, when I uploaded my web page, I had just discovered Bjorn Lynne and linked to his site. I swear, I did not find it from the newsletter-- it was actually a post where Van said to do a google search for 'midi fantasy' or something along those lines, and Bjorn's site turned up. What a coincidence!

Altogether an excellent issue Rich.

I wish the Axes of Evil demo worked for me

A very nice %it, indeed.

Mouse - enter the compo to win some of his CDs You'd be in with a good chance at the moment. The answer is easy enough to find if you spend 2 mins on his site

No, not everyone can choose wisely. What's helpful to one, may not help another.Plus, why waste the time, when rich can do it in 10 times faster.



A book? I hate book. Book is stupid.
