would it be possible tom to have some sort of schedual for the next
mag release date.
yeah I know release dates are something to avoid till things are
ready but it would be good to know when looking at a new issue of the
mag or even the site or both when the next release would likely be,
right now I know you get 1-2 issues per year but never know when the
next mag may be round if thats feesable.
ofcause you could always put a statement that without any news
sertain sections would not be updated if you wanted to concentrate on
exclusives, etc.
even if that means that from time to time sertain sections were not
included due to no data for those at least there would be a mag for
that month or whatever.

Hi Shaun,
When Michael was in charge of the magazine it was quarterly. I'm
hoping to get it back on the original schedule if possible, but a lot
of that depends on news. One of the reasons Ron changed it to two
issues per year is that those years had less news and submissions and
required two quarters to gather enough information for a magazine
issue as well as his own personal reasons. It may take a concerted
effort here to get the ball rolling again, and all I can say is I
think 2013 is the year to do it in because there are a number of
releases around the corner.
First, there are a number of new games coming out for the iPhone all
the time. There is a lot of new games that can be covered right there.
Second, Josh has announced the emanate release of Change Reaction 2.0
for Windows in or about May, and I imagine Silver Dollar for Windows
will probably come out this year unless I missed my mark.
Third, I know Che Martin is working on Rail Racer 2.0 as well. I don't
know his release schedule, but I imagine we will be hearing more about
that in the not to distant future as well.
There are probably a lot of other games that we can keep an ear out
for such as Perilous Hearts which I know is coming but know not when.
There is the new version of Sarah which Phil keeps dropping hints
about which should be coming sometime in the not too distant future,
but again only time will tell. That and other pending other releases
should give the magazine plenty of content to see us through the year.
As far as having multiple editors I don't know if that would be a good
idea or not. Keep in mind the editor has to be qualified for the
position. We know Ron is, and I certainly could do it since I have a
college degree and have had enough advanced writing courses to edit
something like the Audyssey Magazine if necessary. We would expect the
editor to be pretty fair at spelling, understand good grammar,
understand general punctuation, and can correct errors in submissions
when necessary. Certain people on this list, judging by their sloppy
posts, would fail one or more of those qualifications.
Cheers!
