Your post's content is nothing but an attempt to make him look bad. Do you think prefacing it with "Not to make you look bad" is fooling anybody?

In this topic, Brett appears to be very responsive to criticism. I think his response to my logo criticism appears to be a little harsh towards the article's author. But I feel Chance, Desert and myself have hopefully changed his mind.

Now it's possible that Brett's response is just public asskissery PR, but I don't think so.

I intend to give them a look in round 2.

First off, it's Bret, with one "T". It's fine that you spelled it wrong, common mistake, but try not to in future posts; it gets on my nerves. =P Second off, I am interested in criticism, I believe it will make the next releases of our projects better with each one. (So, no, I'm not just kissing your asses. xP)

And I'm glad you're still interested, and going to take a look at our next shot.

Who made the Magazine design?

Nikc-Nack.
The next magazine will be designed by Broxter, the one who used to design Rekame Mag EDIT: OverByte Magazine.

Not my fault. My editor didn't proof read it. I'm gonna fire him.

Well, for the next issue (im certain there will be a second, theese things always get to the second issue and not to the third..) make sure you include more text content, and less silly images.. seriousness is a must in this matter. Also a constant background and a static design for the pages would be nice.. If you need inspiration i recommend you to look at Ev149's This Is Indie Magazine.. it may lack of content but the design and quality where great too.. Im confident trough, that if the next issue will be made by broxter (i thought NAL designed rekame! ), it will be just fine! ^^

Haha, funny.
Now that I think about it, I don't think it was proofread, because the same person who quit our team (Nikc-Nack) was our editor. Anyway, it's not going to happen again!

We'll make sure of that! Constant background is a must, now that we have an official designer back on our team we can guarantee it will stay consistant. Thanks for the link to This Is Indie magazine, I've read one of them and will pay attention to detail this time around.

Also, Broxter worked with NAL on the magazine, I believe.
I got my magazines mixed up. Broxter designed OverByte magazine, my mistake.

Broxter did a magazine with Redchu called Overbyte. I occasionally contributed to that. Rekame Mag is mine, I did all the design work and all but a few of the articles.

Sounds good you're getting a designer though. While flawed (everything's already been said, I won't repeat it all) it was a good read and it's nice to see another magazine again - their popularity seemed to burst then they just disappeared. Reminds me that I left RM4 unfinished, I should do that!

Oh, sorry NAL! I'm getting my magazines mixed up...

I wanted to thank you again for letting us interview you, and hope RM4 goes well!

It's good to be able to take criticism, but publicly blaming faults with the magazine on someone behind the scenes reflects poorly on you. Something to consider for the future.

I'll take that into consideration. Thank you.

More game reviews. That think on FlashPunk was pretty good, too. Try snag an interview with ChevyRay, or maybe Drazzke.

I'm planning on getting one with Chevy soon, but for our next one we have Rolpege. Some parts of it I can't understand what he's saying, but for the most part, what you can understand is interesting.

I, in colaboration with Indie(Function); am going to do a full scale video course on easy game development with GameMaker.

I have already uploaded the first video, which introduces GM, but since I am typing this on my wii, and it‘s internet browser sucks, I can‘t link to it right now.

Indie(Function) looks promising. Most of the times I close these radios pretty quick, but this was interresting enough to keep me listening.

Keep up the good work, and thanks for letting me know about the nD

Well, for our next issue, we were planning on interviewing Ted Lauterbach (Rotten Tater) and after that probably someone non-GM related, possibly someone like Notch (creator of Minecraft).

Good luck getting this guy interviewed. He's probably busy swimming in his 250 millions and working on his next game (which I can't wait to play). If you do get this interview, please get some more information about Scrolls. We already heard everything about minecraft and this guy anyways.

Glad to hear it! And thanks!

Haha, that was more of an exaggeration, but if I do someday get to (which I'm feeling positive about!), I'll make sure to ask him about Scrolls. =P

Any particular skills you're looking for? Also, are you planning to assemble a permanent team, or have different "guest contributors" for each issue?

We're looking for people that are going to be devoted to the project and will contribute every week. And no, we're just looking for people in general. There are a LOT of different things that could be done on the team.

Your radio show is brilliant, though personally I would like a little more GM content. I'd like something on Java, too, now I think about it. You can interview me anytime guys ;D

I'll check out some of your other stuff, like the magazine.
