Elysian Shadows

I am still undecided on what my topic shall be. But expect my article sometime next week (in the aftermath of the weekend's dev-a-thon. ;p) That would be fantastic. That would make 4 articles, I believe (with Falco's, eatcomics', and my own). Again, it would be ideal to actually feature a project, ...

To my experience, you've gotta get on people's asses to get anything done. But in this case, it'll be worth it. ;p I'm all about pushing to get things done, but we need people to push first. :lol: (AKA people to confirm that they'll write something) I believe Falco is working on an article, as per ...

#include <iostream> #include "stdio.h" int main() { std::cout << "Why hello thar, Jonathan and Ginto." << std::endl; printf("You had better watch your asses, because we only tolerate C and/or C++ on these boards.\n"); printf("Any more of this Java/Go nonsense, and...

Moosader said yes on my article, although the competition has been pushed back 2 weeks so it will be a while until I finish it... And yes I'm interested in OOP and Time vs. Frame based events Awesome, I don't think the wait will be a problem, as writing interest is still pretty minimal. I'm sure af...

I would love to contribute my iPhone game in some way and/or some pixel art opinion/tutorials (I could contribute installments of these every now and then if you would like). I also could contribute some of the things I have learnt at my time at uni such as BSP trees info, getting started with shad...

Sorry, I was away for a long weekend, but now this shit is on! Somebody either tell me when or hook me up with a Google Docs invite. I'm free to write whenever. Articles can be submitted in any form. If we use Google Docs, it would be more for just layout purposes - it would probably be more difficu...

I'm not sure if you're trying to avoid content redundancy Not really. As you said, it shouldn't be a copy of the forums, but it should almost certainly include some of what is on here. And each project article should have a link to the forum thread about it (assuming it has one). It's easier to ove...

Well I think we should start a thread asking for people who are doing projects who want there stuff in the newsletter to post Well, as a start, that's basically what this thread should be for. Once things get going, it should really be done through e-mail - we don't want to clutter the forums with ...

I would be very interested in perhaps contributing a technical column to each "iteration" based on my current development with the ES engine. I've been wanting to do some kind of blog of my own for forever now. Since it looks like our site won't be done for a very long time, this would be...

Well then, the next logical step would be assessing the amount of content we would be able to produce. For now, everyone who wants to be involved should do one of two things: either reply to this thread or e-mail aamesxdavid@gmail.com with: -If you want to write: -the section(s) you're interested in...

Can we find somebody willing take charge of and actually compile these articles? I suppose I should have mentioned that I would be willing to do this. I wasn't just coming up with an idea to give someone else lots of work. :lol: Certainly, if someone else really wants to do this, I would have no ob...

Okay, since there seems to be interest, I'll try and expand a bit. As far as content, I'd like it to be very similar to the forums: -A "Game Development" topic that showcases a certain project (or more than one if desired) -A "Programming" topic with a tutorial/discussion/theory/...
