This is fantastic!

Thanks :]

[baconman]

These really are a nice way to keep up to speed on the tremendous number of DevLogs here!! I like how it's just that simple-but-divine grid format, too. Stick with it!

[McMutton]

You're a good person, Dom

[Dom2D]

I'm in talks to have this reach a broader audience... Stay tuned!

You're a good person, Dom

Woot, thanks for the mention. ^_^

Are you actually doing this by hand?  :O  At first I thought you had made some kind of visual cloud script thing, the way that some sites have tag clouds where tags used more frequently were shown as bigger.

For now, I'm doing it by hand, using handy guides to neatly place things on the grid. I'm looking into ways to do a dynamic grid, at least get those squares to link to the threads. More on that soon? Maybe?

Thanks for the mention! The layout is really fantastic. Excellent presentation.

thanks for the Super Ubi Land mention - these maps lovely - i think links are a good idea!

I just noticed this like, now, what a great idea, thanks for throwing one of my games in there too

hei Mod! Only now managed the time to check #2, nice work man <3

Thanks for mentioning kitty - and making a visual map is such a great idea, its really great to see snapshots of so many games.

Dude, I'd love to put this on the front page! Thoughts:

- The max width of an image on TIGSource is 640px, so it would be shrunk as it currently is.

- The current visual map is too tall for a TIGS post as a single image. A lead-in image that's about 480px tall with the rest (including links) after the jump would be ideal.

- All you'd have to do with update this thread with the correct images and I can do the rest.

- Alternately, I can put your "issue" buttons on the sidebar with links to the thread.

- Or both! I'll start by putting the buttons on the sidebar right away.

Spiffy. This is SO the touch that's needed to keep up with the massive amounts of DevLogging.

[K1lo]

Brilliant idea, half tempted to print out a large copy each week and stick it on the wall ;-)

[Dom2D]

 

Yay! It looks really good in the sidebar there!! I'll make sure the next issue is properly sized and all that. I hope this makes Tigs games get more attention!

[Joshua]

Congrats Dom2D!

Alright, I'm teaming up with Venus Patrol to give the magazine more exposure! I'm also adding an imagemap so you guys can click on the map to get to the devlogs!

I tried making a smaller map to fit 480px wide, but it kinda lost its charm and readability in the process. What I can do though is a cute 480x250 preview pic with the issue number and title for the frontpage, which could link to the TIGS thread with the full pic, or to the Venus Patrol page. Is that okay with you guys?

The new issue is done, I just need to fix the imagemap a bit before posting it!

[moi]

ok so why not take this thread to the venuspatrol forums?

[Belimoth]

Same reason the map does not contain cropped pictures of Venus Patrol Devlogs, dum.
