Hey everybody -- QB Express Issue #4 is due out in less than a week, and right now I have next to nothing for it. There have been very few submissions this time around -- the fewest that I've had so far. So I definitely need YOUR help to put out another good issue this month.
Here's what I have so far:
Here's what people have said they would write (but haven't submitted yet):
Several people have expressed interest in writing articles for this magazine, including Nekrophidius, Barok, Lurah, Terry Cavanagh, Nathan1993 and a few others, but none of them have confirmed / promised an article. They just said that they eventually hoped to contribute something.
Additionally, I have not received a single good "letter to the editor" this time around that I'm planning on printing.
By now, you all should have a pretty good idea of what this magazine is about and what kind of stuff I run in it. If you have some free time, I would really appreciate it if you would send something in. I'm especially looking for reviews, rants, editorials and articles on QB history, since they seem to be especially popular. (The most popular articles in the first few issues have been the "Blast from the Past" and the "Gallery," and some of the more interesting tutorials.) But honestly, anything that you submit would be greatly appreciated. I'm also looking for news items to run in the "News Briefs" section, so let me know if you've got any announcements.
Oh, and one more thing: Issue #4 has a very high likelihood of being postoponed a day or two from its original deadline of Monday, November 15th. Over the next week, I have an absolutely tremendous amount of work to get done, especially on Monday. All day Sunday I have a TV shoot (I'm the director of photography), and on Monday I've got a major term paper due as well as a script / storyboard for a final project in one of my video production classes. I also have 7 hours of class to attend on Monday...so chances are quite high that I'll end up delaying Issue #4 until Tuesday or Wednesday.
So... Help me make Issue #4 great like the first three!
Here's what I have so far:
- *A "lost" tutorial by DarkDread on Pixel*Tile Scrolling Engines
*Two interviews by Piptol (If I get enough submissions I will only run one this month and save the second for a future issue)
*QBNow! Vol. 1 Chapter 5 by Neo Deus Ex Machina
*"Bobby The QBasic Maniac" Comics by Matt2Jones
Here's what people have said they would write (but haven't submitted yet):
- *Chaoticmass: Part 2 of his scripting tutorial
*VonGodric: Part 2 of his GUI series
*Relsoft: Tutorial on lens flares
*Levi: A "Character creation tutorial"
*Oz: A game review
