T3D Magazine 1-2013

Information about the 1st Edition

I think this 1st Edition is a great entry point for more magazines. The 1st Edition was never meant to be a mind-blowing magazine full of fancy articles and ground-breaking news.
There are some interesting articles in it, but most of it is pretty generic rewrites of blogs posted on GarageGames.com.
Generally I have made a lot of experimentation in this 1st Edition, and we will see how the reaction on each experiment is so I know what direction the next magazine should take.

I hope the 1st Edition will be sufficient to attract some people wanting to put some advertisements in the magazine, given the low price of advertisements. To that end I will be pulling all the strings I can to make the 2nd Edition be a little more interesting, with more exclusive articles.
For example, I will have a psychology student write an article about the human perception, exclusively for the T3D Magazine I hope to gather more articles like this, that are a little beyond the usual.

Thats all well and good but this is a T3D Magazine afterall

Right! And thats where you come in! I'd love to feature your T3D games, art, addons, tech etc.. Please contact me on lpjoergensen@gmail.com if you'd like your T3D tech featured in the next magazine!

Also remember it's cheap to get advertisements or thread-bumps in the magazine! More information can be found in the magazine.

Feedback

I'd love feedback on the magazine, please respond with whatever feedback you can give me.
Also I do realize that some parts of the magazine don't look that 'great'. I'm a single guy.. A programmer at that, I find this art stuff very difficult, so bear with me! I do my best!
Suggestions are also very much welcome.

Game series

Would you like a stable channel to publish news about your progress in your game? Please write to me and you might get a regular spot in the magazine to publish news / screenshots about your game!

Now to the juice:
The Magazine
Notice: I use Google Analytics which tracks a lot of information about the users, just a heads up if stuff like that concerns you.

Btw: I'm writing this blog at 2:23 pm so I'm probably forgetting to mention something, if I missed something or rambled somewhere let me know.

@Demolishun, this isn't a WinterLeaf initiative, this is my own :)
But I guess since I work for WLE it do shine a little off the WLE brand ;)

Also I actually just made pdf download available, it's easy to forget other peoples bandwidth etc when you are on a fiber 30/30 connection and with a strong PC.

So you can notice that there is a fourth button on the navigation bar which takes you to a download page, where you can download the magazine as a pdf (~4.8mb)

Edit: If you don't see it right away try doing a clean refresh (ctrl+F5 on chrome)
