DelphiGamer Magazine Issue 2 - Call for Content

[technomage]

Hi All

Well Issue one was a success , with about 200 downloads. I hope everyone enjoyed it.

I'm starting to put together ideas for issue 2, I would like to start some more "how to" articles on GLScene, Phoenix 2D, Asphyre, state management, object management, scene graphs etc so if anyone would like to contribute please PM me. Articles can be one off's or part of a series depending on how much you can commit to (I know we are all busy )

I already have the postmortem lined up and a few ideas on who I'm going to interview this time around (watch you're Inbox's people )

Also I'm looking for volunteers to help proof read, and do graphics, so if anyone is interested please again PM me.

The next magazine will be due out in December, I'd like to get idea's on the table in the next 2 weeks so we have time to prepare.

Look forward to hearing from you

Hey technomage,

yeah the issue one was really cool to read, good work to all !

With practical articles for next issue it will be a cool gem :shock: remember me the amiga magazines, when computing wasn't already (yet) a mainstream media :roll:

For the articles i can't really contribute because i have a second job for monday (63hrs by week :shock: thankfully not the weekend too) and i prefer to focus my computing time on FARC sorry ops: but i hope a lot of people will contribute to this great project !

Hey Dean, This would be a great 'How To' item for the next or a future issue: Making a Package for the game? [sounds,graphics]

Funny enough , I do have a complete frame work for doing this with SDL. I might write that up myself, and include that in the second issue

Cool!

Learning how to make my own or how to do it in a simple 1, 2, 3... step format would be most useful. Considering that whole understand it so that you can do it all yourself way of doing things.

I really liked the first edition. I don`t have allot of time on my hands these days but I`m willing to proof read for you

[arthurprs]

Hey techno i have writen some things by hand,
bitmap fonts on sdl, and loading res from zip files

i think they could be nice articles.

Just an idea for content.

We discussed Mark Overmars and GameMaker som time ago in some topic (didn't bother to search for it) and I think it could be interesting to read a interview with him. It could be an interview about game theory and design, (I believe he teaches something like that at Utrecht University) and ofcourse something about the development of GameMaker in Delphi.
Just a thought.
