40K Source

Not too long ago i submitted an article for a Warhammer 40k E-zine called Firebase, based out fo the Warseer forums

And its finally out:
http://warseer.com/firebase_issue_5_out_now

Were just a small article in a big E-zine, but enjoy it and the insight it may bring to how we do things, as well as lots of other 40k stuff.

Oh God our tyranids look terrible in that shot AND we didn't get the website URL in the article  :(

But we got 3 pages  :D

Well, you can always make another article containing the URL once Exterminatus is released to the public.
And this way a horde of fanboys might have been halted a bit longer  :wink:

and also, when they do tak a look at the site, they see download avaliable! and all rush to play it whereas if they look now without bein able to play they may forget about us

Well the article went down rather well, the few that commented on it liked it, heres some quotes:

scarletsquig - "Page 27-29: Don't play half life, still read this article because I'm interested in game design, and it was well-written."

Apologist - "Rival Species. I'm not really interested in computer games, but this was really interesting, and an unusual topic. More articles like this!"

Son of Makuta - "I thought the inclusion of the Rival Species thing was pretty good. Something new."


iveminion - "I'm not really into computer gaming but I thought the Half life article was interesting, nice pics too."

yea, i saw them to, but i think they think we're advatising RS1

no, there not since the images mainly show rs2.
i wonder if i should offer more articles?

I think it might be worth doing another article.  If the development stuff is of interest it might overlap with moddb, i'd like to get an EX focused article there  :wink:

I also think it would be fun to document the game battle report style, like :
Alpha testers A and B are fighting a battle, A leads a marine team (screenshot of A's beta testers as all the marine classes, one page summary of the classes and why various beta testers chose to play them), B leads a  Tyranid team (screenshot and summary).  Initial set up (introduce the map, screenies of key objectives).  Turn by turn style commentary of the game with action shots, followed by a closing summary at the end (screenshot of the final scoreboard).

Ill propose it then.
