I'm getting excited now, it sounds like you're getting closer to actually getting this out there and I can't wait to get a copy!

Me too. I really don't want to miss out on ordering because I'm away from the computer or something.
Will members who expressed an interest get some advance notice before supplies all get used up?

I want to know that too. A PM, or something, when the pre-order opens?

Is your mag going to feature some indie shmups?

Hey all, thanks for the kind comments and interest in the zine. It's still coming, I'm a one man show so am going as fast as I can (and real-life allows :lol: ).

I'll put up some info prior to pre-order opening, though I need to have an optimistic 100 copies pre-ordered so I am sure everyone will be able to secure a copy fret ye not haha!

It's coming. Sorry for the delays all, it's mainly due to waiting on this and that and it hasn't happened (shouldn't have put all my eggs in one basket but hey-ho, you live and you learn) so I'm working on other stuff to put in it's place. Still one of the two big features is definitely happening (well, it's already typed up and done and laid out actually so err yeah, that's done haha! :mrgreen: ). The second feature... well... maybe in volume two if one ever happens. We'll see.

I'm doing my best! Thanks though everyone for keeping interested in this project. Soon come! :D

EDIT: Sorry psoslayer, I missed your question there. Yes there will be indie coverage in some form or another. I'm trying to squeeze as much in to as small a space as possible so I only have room for so much. 25 pages is not very much space!

BIG NEWS!

Remember I said above that the 2nd exclusive fell through?

Well it just literally arrived this morning and all I can say is.... PREPARE TO BE DAZZLED! Honest to God, I thought it was dead in the water, but it has come through and I think you will all LOVE it! Side note, no work was done over the weekend as I was out of the country but this week is the big push to the finish line.

Big reveal to come VERY SOON but I can push on now, finally, and get this damn zine finished! Hold on to your y-fronts everyone, it's going to get messy!

Please take no offence, Pyongyang, but please just update us when you have actually finished; I'm finding this tedious personally.
