Having no time to keep doing those at the moment, I instead launched a blog with a very similar goal - check out GameSquares!

I'll be covering games from TigSource mostly, but also IndieDB, Tumblr, Twitter, and a variety of sources. Hope you guys enjoy it, and I hope it grows enough to give your devlog games more visibility. Cheers!

This is great Dom2d! Thanks for posting Vagante, really appreciate your work

[diegzumillo]

A blog is just as good! It's in my reader now.

[Rayiner]

That's really amazing blog that I've been waiting for.

[Bandreus]

As you know, Dom2D doesn't have enough time on his hands to work on the Devlog Magazine atm (by the way, you should follow his new blog, GameSquares, it rocks!).

The work he did has been amazing, and it really helped giving the games on these boards much, much more exposure. I think letting the TIGSource Devlog Magazine die like this is a pity.

Long story short, I PMed Dom to ask him if he was fine with me using his design and he, being the cool guy he is, accepted.

Which is great, for that means I can solely focus on bringing a new issue of the TIGSource Devlog Magazine to you, like... NAO  



Putting this issue together was an amazing experience as I delved into tons of devlogs I never had the time to check before. At the end of this process, I was left speechless by all the incredible games you guys are putting together with so much dedication.

You guys are truly amazing.

Please help these terrific games by following their devlogs and developers and by casting your vote on Steam Greenlight (you'll find links below!). Also, Heartn & Slash is currently live on Kickstarter: do check its campaign and pledge if you like what you see.

Here are all the 21 games from TIGSource Devlog Magazine # 15:

• CRAWL -
  
• Ferdy The Cat -
  
• forma.8 -
  
• Heart & Slash -
  
• How to Be a Tree -
  
• Hyper Gauntlet: Legacy of Nozzlethruster III -
  
• IRKALLA -
  
• Interstellaria -
  
• Joan Mad Run -
  
• Lift -
  
• Lizzi -
  
• Mini Metro -
  
• Neverpant's Secret Game Project -
  
• Nova-111 -
  
• Relativity -
  
• Rogue's Soul
• Spell Team Death Match -
  
• The Hong Cong Massacre -
  
• Umbragram -
  
• WARBITS -
  
• Why Am I Dead At Sea -
  

Until next time!

PS: Feedback of any kind very much appreciated.

Such awesome stuff here. TIGs you rock, and Bandreus - good work!

[Joshua]

I really appreciate this. I don't have as much time to peruse the forums as I used to (new day job + side project), so a digest like this is pretty great.

[peterc_nz]

Wow thanks for including Mini Metro in the magazine! Looks weird having our game sitting next to all those amazing games, hah.

[Christian]

First time checking this thread out. Is there a PDF or something, or just the links to the various devlogs?

[Bandreus]

Nope, no PDF, just that single image to pump up awareness about the devlogs.

[Tiago_BinaryPig]

This is fantastic Bandreus. Although Dom2D is working on GameSquares, i missed the TigSource Magazine. Glad you picked it up

[William Chyr]

Just want to say many thanks to Bandreus for reviving the devlog magazine (and for including Relativity)!

Development can be pretty overwhelming, and I haven't had as much time to browse different devlogs. This is a really great way to get an overview of a bunch of different games.

Found out about Lift through this, and just starting to go through their devlog now.

[wearepinata]

Thanks Bandreus! Totally made our day to see Spell Team Death Match included in the mag alongside so many other titles we've been reading about

[Juan Raigada]

Thanks for including Heart&Slash!!!

[Skyrise]

Thanks for including forma.8! Hope to update the devlog more!

[Bandreus]

@eigenbom @peterc_nz @Christian @TiagoBinaryPig @WillyChyr @wearepinata @JuanRaigada @Skyrise

Thanks a lot for the kind words guys! I've been working hard on the Devlog's Zine and seeing the positive response is both thrilling and inspiring. Hope I can keep churning out new issues which are up to your expectation

To the devs whose games were featured in the magazine. Please let me know if I missed any contact info (i.e. website url etc.) and I'll update it ASAP.

And devs whose games were not picked. I'm so, so sorry! The amount of awesomeness in these boards is simply overwhelming. I would had liked to include each end everyone of your games. Actually choosing which ones went in and which ones didn't really was a painful process.

I'd also like to publicly thank RoRo, who penned a depiction of Bandreus which is several times nicer looking than the original. You rock!

And, obviously, thanks again to Dom2D for being awesome and creating the TIGSource Devlog Magazine in the first place!

[christopf]

Oh yes, i'm happy that you continue this wonderful little zine. tasty 

[dancing_dead]

didn't know this was a thing, but looks awesome

it's a lovely idea and execution, glad to see it lives.

[Bandreus]

WOOPS! Only now realized Issue #14 was already released months ago on Venus Patrol  

Sorry about that! No more issues were released by Dom2D anywhere on the internet as far as I am now aware of.

I updated the latest one to be #15. Additionally, since I was at it, I upped the image quality quite a bit for crispier pixels. Please let me know if you think the 160% file size is worth it. Here, you can compare the two: old one (JPEG quality lvl 8, ~350KB) vs. new one (JPEG quality lvl 10, ~561KB).

[gambrinous]

That looks really great Bandreus, super job for reviving it
