WOW This is a heavy duy volume, congratulations and thanks a billion!

One suggestion/request. Could you perhaps re-render the PDF for Volume 2 in the ā€œsingle page per pageā€ (portrait mode) used in volumes 1 and 3? It would make it ever so readable and easier to flip through a hard copy.

Just wow. This is fantastic, again!

I would love to see a section, maybe titled ā€˜vaporwareā€™ which has snippets from all the work in progress games.

Volume 1 had ~10 pages. Volume 2 had ~20 pages. Volume 3 had ~40 pages. I think Volume 4 will have 80. :stuck_out_tongue:

i would be ok with that :smiley:

why ā€œvaporwareā€ ?

Itā€™s a joke about a game that doesnā€™t exist yet in the wild but has screenshots and is ā€˜coming soonā€™. Maybe call it pending pixels or something else.

well if i got the joke i may like it better, but i do like the sound of pending pixels, biggest problem with this section, theres so darn many of em, maby highlight a couple of the more promising ones?

Being impatient (one of my many faults), I made a one-page-per-page / portrait copy of Volume 2 (i.e. not spread format). I just printed it out and it looks good. Iā€™m not sure it will stand up to the communityā€™s standards, but Iā€™d be happy to upload it somewhere if youā€™d like to take a look.

I solved the problem of the ā€œfavorite gamesā€ spread (pages 6 and 7) by keeping them together, which nicely brings the whole volume to 18 pages, which double-sided ends up with a front and back cover.

So let me know if anyone wants it. Cheers!
