[Audyssey] audyssey game magazine proposal
Hi. I think the audyssey magazine takes to long to publish. its not regular enough. I therefore think that instead of one editor doing this thing every 3 times a year or whenever he can that several should do it. actually I could put it all together or whatever and others could write articles, etc. I have the time. Not sure how it would all work I just know its taking ages or seems like it to get another issue. When mike feir was round it came out 4 times a year and was rather regular. if it could be so again then it would be good. I've never done a magazine I just know there is time. Could also do an audio version for those that care. obviously there would have to be text for those on dialup. Right now I am not proposing a change immediately but its an idea. I feel that as a community we should make decisions like this rather than complaining about this. On the usagames list muhammed said the mag was to long and I thought well its not regular so there is so much to put in. On that note I wander with all the blogs, and stuff if we even need a mag since everything thats in the mag is known by everyone thats on the net, most of it is old news. Some newer articles, etc. I propose that we could have some extra things to go with for say software release dates, etc. Say for full versions or maybe other things, events, etc to happen exactly on the day the magazine ispublished so we can get interest in it again. I remember in the old days i started reading the mag on my 386 laptop. I had at that point little net, dialup, etc. It really got me realising that there was more to life than just me. I know there have been times that I have gone a bit over the top on here however I am trying to post a reasonable post this time.

Re: [Audyssey] audyssey game magazine proposal
Well, I agree that more regular magazine releases if at all possible would be a good thing, - provided Ron (as current editer), would be happy with a collective effort. However, going from there to "maybe the magazine is no longer needed" seems rather unreasonable. Firstly, there are obviously a lot of people who are subscribed to the magazine only list, and therefore the announcements and news are stil valuable, besides, I personally often find the audeasy news a good overview. Even more than that though, the magazine is the only place to publish semi-academic articals on audio games (I'm writing one for the next issue myself). it is not possible to publish numbers of articals from various people in a blog, nor does a blog have either the same authority when presented in future accessible game discussion, especially with future developers, independent companies, or other sources who may need the articals to refer to (such as gamespot). As for having the magazine in an audio form, --- well if a human reader would be willing to reccord the thing in audio, that would be a good thing, but if your just talking about an mp3 version read by a synth I'm afraid I don't particularly see the bennifit sinse everyone here has synths to read the text anyway. If on the human reader subject you were imagining converting the magazine to some sort of podcast format, where people submitted audio reviews and articals, well, that's a good idea as far as it goes, however given recording difficulties, not to mention the need for text articals to refer to, and considderations for people on dile up connections, I'm not sure how workable that would be. Of course, more audio reviews would be a good thing indeed, so if I'm wrong about this please let me know. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] audyssey game magazine proposal
hmmmI aggree about the second point. and the first, I wouldn't want the mag to go away. AN audio podcast mag? hmmm that would be good. Yeah there would have to be the regular mag to, the text version would still have to be there, but it would be nice for those that wanted to do strictly audio as well as text reviews it well would really rock. Those on dialup could get the text, in fact as it stands everyone will get the text. there could be a link where the audio version could be. this thing would have the audio, which would also be the same as the magazine but have reviews, and news, as well as other things. The advantage ofcause is the fact that we can put voices to the contributers, devs, etc, and the games themselves and decide for ourselves. I have no idea for example what half the people that write things at me actually sound like except for some that I chat to on skype.

Re: [Audyssey] audyssey game magazine proposal
what would be interesting is if someone could do an audio version of not just this past magazine but the whole archive including the earlier issues and in a daisy format for those of us that can use daisy.

Re: [Audyssey] audyssey game magazine proposal
I'm satisfied with the number of issues per year, and we have to consider how difficult it is to have enough material to publish. One idea about having audio game reviews, walk throughs, and the like that comes to my mind is this: A magazine subscriber who has the software and know-how could record him- or herself actually playing a game, describing what he or she is doing as the game progresses. This recording could be saved to a site from which magazine subscribers could find the link to download it. The link would be published in the magazine. Maybe one game recording per issue?

If there was enough genuine interest, I would be happy to read future issues of Audyssey out loud. I already have all of the necessary recording equipment.

Re: [Audyssey] audyssey game magazine proposal
hmmm there would be a small issue with this. Firstly some of those sites are invalid now, some of the info is way out of date. When I proposed the magazine format change I didn't even think about the archive of back issues. Since no one actually did audio for these they would have to be read with a sapi synth. on that note list info and other things have changed from time to time. most of the info is still known, maybe some articles could be converted but.
