BTW: thank you featuring my Game Orbix…
Thanks for making games 😁
Will definitely buy #005 too, cause the 4 magazines before were great!
I created a short video on YouTube about BrewOtaku. Maybe u like it :) it has English subtitles too :)
Thanks. Just had a short look, but looks good. We will check again and spread the word, once we have five silent minutes ;) Which AI tools did you use to make this?
thank for spend ur time :)
Oh, I don't use AI tools. Only Canva and YouCut on my Phone. Script, Cut and Voice acting is handcrafted :) so it's my personality love letter for BrewOtaku :)
Had the time to check it. Now that's a true love letter. We are truly flattered. Thanks! We are posting it this week on our socials.
thank u so much! :) keep up the good work on BrewOtaku <3
We shared your video today on our social media channels :-) Thanks again for the flowers... it motivates to continue!
Lot of work gone into this, fun to read. It is only yearly now?
We are 1.5 issues behind schedule, already layouting #006 right now. We have the content 90% done. No promises, but maybe we can catch up here with the next four weeks and get #006 out a lot faster. Aim is one issue every two months, but with a small team, there are always delays :)
Hmmm, would quarterly issues work better to fit within a better time constraint? It'd be an additional month to wait, but I'm confident the quality that comes with it is well worth it.
Two months is in theory a good schedule, not too long, not too short. Quarterly… we would possibly have to update the amount of pages. #005 grew already to 80 pages, while we had about 68 in mind. The problem is we keep finding great stuff and want to fit it in then…
Hmm I see, would an increase in pages put that much of a hinder on prices though? I'm no expert on cost, and I'm answering this selfishly as I also spend the $20 on the GB Studio magazines while your's are amazingly priced under $10 USD
We try to stay fair and affordable, if we ever get a proper sponsorship we might be able to offer even more for the money. But to be true, the project is currently also on loss.
