~ ~ ~ Notes from Paper Lane: a GNE weblog |
Does anyone know when the next issue of Ludus is to be published? Is there a list of articles we can expect to see published? Is there a request list, a theme, a competition?
In the absence of activity, has anyone snuck in and stolen the GNE Fansite Crown? Thought not. (If anything, fan sites seems to have been disappearing…)
It seems that we’re all moaning about GNE being (slightly) delayed, but the one thing we can do to speed things up seems to have hit the rocks!
Think about it:
More articles written for Ludus
means
More issues of Ludus
means
Higher Google ranking
means
Higher GNE profile
means
More hits on Ludicorp website
means
More/faster funding for Ludicorp
means
More people working for Ludicorp
means
Decrease in development time
means
We get to play GNE sooner.
Enough talking about us being a “captive audience”. Let’s be “active consumers” instead!
I know there are one or two interesting projects going on right now: Thymic’s survey, Capo & Loli’s voice sampling thing (mine’s on the way, guys). So… where are they? Let’s have something posted, even if it’s only an interim measure.
(This message has been cross-posted to Paper Lane and the GNE forums. Let Satan have his wicked way with me if (s)he will.)
I sent in an article about how everyone in my family play(ed/s) GNE, since the theme was to have been “Love and Family in the GNE” or something like that, but I don’t know what happened to my submission. I still have a copy, if we want to put something together ad-hoc, but I’ve been avoiding posting it in case it’ll come out in Ludus eventually.
I’ll have something up by the weekend. It’s just going to be a somewhat spare issue, unless something else gets submitted in the interim.
Current article list:
Articles by Outis, Eleanor Rigby
PARP rebuttal letter
A new player vignette by Loli
a song by ravingoak
Outis, the causal chain you postulate is long and frail. I agree with it in theory - it was a large part of my motivation to start Ludus - but at this point in the game’s development, I honestly do not believe that badgering Selva to post a new issue is going to hasten the launch of the Big Game by even 30 seconds.
“Entertain me, I’m bored!”, on the other hand, strikes me as a perfectly legitimate argument.
:-)
Selva, the survey is almost ready to be published. We only need to talk to you about some details. I’ll try to catch you online.
