O_O...

April 1st?

Armageddon?

No! It's Lachie Dazdarian, (who I always envisioned looking something like the main character from Poxie,) with a new e-zine focused on the BASIC programming community!

[Feedback follows]

Time has indeed passed fast. Hopes have died down, but are still quietly breathing. Maybe a few more years of patience is all it takes :P

Throw me in the bundle of people getting into commercial, non-game-related programming. It hampers creativity by putting a market-value on my time. Because of that, after cost-benefit analysis takes place, hobbyist development hardly ever seems worth it.

But that's why I'd like to take the experience I'm gaining now and directing it toward professional/hobby development. Being effective and efficient, creatively.

No telling whether that will occur in FreeBASIC, C++, C#, Java, Flash or JavaScript. Most of my work nowadays is done on pen and paper, so I avoid wasting months in development only to find that my idea was bound to fail from the start.

Wow! I like the idea!

I'm sorry to see that OpenB3D is not listed in 3d engines :-(

I read more of your zine #1 than what I usually read from anything (unless it's technical information)

Im glad that there are still webmasters out there who thinks accessibility on the back of their mind Fonts are large, and graphics everywhere . I have no complain though well thought of site.

I believe he's complimenting you for your large fonts and graphics, which assist with accessibility.

Thanks for putting my game in your gallery; I feel honored. Now I have to get off my posterior and finish v1.1 so it can be played better.

What a wonderful magazine it is - congratulations. I like the way how the programs are presented, with screenshots and individual text of description. I hope, you go on with the good work. It's an interesting snapshot of actual projects and sure will be a joy, when after some time we can take a look back.

I was really surprised, that my little train simulator is presented within the first issue, what a honor.
