[Ellie]

Not sure what to say really, even the date is wrong.

 

[Xilef]

It was okay. I think we had more discussion in the past month than showcasing

 

[95enthusiast]

Cheers for the mention.

 

[Ellie]

I was going to make a better one but I've screwed up my timetable for the next two weeks. Stocktake. Don't have any days off...

 

[Injury]

*blushy*

I like the article on decryption, breaking into a game and stealing assets. It takes a lot to make a game, and to see something stolen away with no credits is the real crime.

It's byfar, my favorite tatoo, next the blue ones.

 

[95enthusiast]

Would you mind if I gave this a thorough review?

 

[Ellie]

Sure, go ahead.

It's been so long since I've been back here, and I just realised HBGames now has an e-zine! It's great to read. Will there be any new issues coming out?

 

[Ellie]

Haven't done one in about a year unfortunately, I've been too busy, but I'd be happy to work on another if others were interested.

The only thing I could really suggest is some coverage of the CCC, we recently had our two year anniversary and we're starting to finally make a name for ourselves.

There's 16 of us who are in the corporation, however in total there's more since some enjoy the social aspect and don't wanna lock themselves into a commitment.

I seem to recall us talking on skype, so in the scenario you haven't blocked me and still boot it up you can talk to me about this idea.

We've released two games recently, M:R (Menagerie: Remastered) in December and P:A (Perseverance: Adherence) in March for 3/14.

 

[Jason]

... But what does that have to do with HBGames?

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Sorry for the late response, had a lot on my plate recently.

I've come to the realization that this is quite different to what i thought originally, there's a similar style of Magazine Amy also seems to help out with called Advanced RPG Maker or something.

Sorry to waste time with my suggestion, well me and Melanii have been doing sketches neck to neck on the sketch thread, maybe we could do something with that? Melanii's way more talented with anatomy than I am, though.

Looking through some of these I see I'm actually mentioned occasionally and haven't even known till now, that's cool.

Issue 15 particularly caught my eye with the whole page (#7) about multimedia fusion contest with Menagerie as the support images.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Yeah, we have. XD You show yours more often, though. My anatomy still isn't that great.

There are some hidden projects going on around here... Like Peri's 3D modelling, my recent art, the screenshot thread, etc. I wish we were a bit more open. ;_;

 

[Jason]

The main problem being nobody seems to be working on games anymore :wink:

 

[BizarreMonkey]

I'd offer you all a formal invite to RPGarden, since this place is dying slowly but surely, and we're pretty new, with a congregation we could easily create quite a spark.

But up to you guys.

 

[rey meustrus]

Link?

 

[Ellie]

It's probably about time we had an issue 23 anyway tbh.

Trouble is beyond one or two submissions it's usually just me doing it and I'm not a very interesting person.

Always happy to take submissions even if they're just thinly veiled self-promotion.

 

[Ellie]

By submission I mean just literally throw some text or ideas at me and I'll splice it in btw. No formalities needed.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

The IGMC will start again sometime this year. Maybe it will be interesting to mention it.

Also, perhaps I'll think of something when dealing with working in a team or doing things about the wrong way. o.o
