Pixel Joint Forum: Play.d Magazine

Message

   I'm guessing quite a few people here enjoy videogames. Well, I thought I'd tell you all about Play.d magazine. We're based in the UK mind so anyone from across the Atlantic will find the sort of stuff in it a bit out of date, but you might like it anyway.

To give you an idea of what we're about I'll quote our website. "We aim to bring you up to date news, reviews and features on a bimonthly basis in a professionaly designed pdf document which will be freely downloadable from our site. No longer will you have to go out into the real world to get your gaming magazine fix!"

Issue 1 should be released on 14th April and before then I'm going to put up a little taster on the site for you guys to download. Be sure to pass on the word. Trust me...this thing looks sweet!

Play.d Website

I'd appreciate any constructive feedback as we realise we're never going to get everything perfect. So tell us what you think could be improved.

	Maybe if I could see what it is before opening your file; I'd never know it was a mag if you didn't tell us.

	Well, it looked cool, and you probably have a new reader here, but I wish the website was up to par with the quality of the magazine.

	To be honest the website is simply a temporary thing that I put up in 10 minutes just so that we'd have a little page where you can download it. I'm going to do a Flash based site in the summer when I have more time.

	Issue 1 is now available! Issue 1 comes in at 68 pages long - so it should keep you busy for atleast a little while. So get downloading and spread the word! Playd Magazine Homepage (Sorry for double post)

	Damn - I could've sworn I edited that saying it was going to be down for a while. Anyway - we had some problems with the embedding of the font so we had to sort it out. It's sorted now and everything should work fine. Fingers crossed

	I downloaded the issue, and you've got a good magazine going here! I liked the articles, though the console ones bored me somewhat (I'm not a console person).
