Hey everyone,
one my computer at home is fixed, i will start on this eMag.
I was going to charge for it, but seeing as RF is free, i'll make the eMag free.

it sounds great, i would definitly read it, it would probably teach alot of users what they need to know...
one question: would it focus more on the "design of the design" (ie. game flow, badguy placement, etc.), tips on how to design levels (i.e. "make an arch in 3 easy steps") or how to use the level editor (ie. "how grouping works") or all oif the above?

Starting an eMag is an excellent idea. I look forward to seeing the first edition.

Looking forward to it! When you say e-MAG, do you mean there will be more than one installment or just the one? Also, are you going to accept contributions if anyone has any? Any way! Thanks! This sounds great!

When i mean e-mag i mean there might be a Issue every couple of months or so...
Contributions might be useful.
Say if someone writes an article on how to keep a color scheme in your level.
or if someone writes about Cut brushes and the best ways to use them.
it would be very helpful.

Do you want pictures for a step by step cause i could make a guide on making ladders.
Also i can make guides for making destroyingable objects like barricades and how to have enemies fail through ceilings for ambushes.
