Development of Issue 15 is well underway. I won’t be giving a lot of details, because that would just rob the excitement out of the issue itself when it comes out. However, here are some things that might interest you:

A New Logo

We’ve been working for a while on a new logo, and thanks to Suhaib, our graphics designer, we finally have the logo of our choice. The logo pretty much says what ‘MarkUp’ really is – in our point of view at least! The logo will be revealed in Issue 15 of the Magazine.

Cover & Design

From a graphics standpoint, we’re also working on the new cover and inner design for the magazine. This month’s design will be much darker with some blue in it. I realize we said that Issue 15’s design should be predominantly blue, but I think you’ll like the dark heading design as well. The inner layout will also recieve some minor tweaks here and there.

Development Journals Back!

‘Cities at War’, developed by XSoft Games and headed by Robert-Jan Bruintjes has resumed development, so we will be seing its development journals reappear in the magazine. We’ve also got a new game that will have Development Journals in the magazine: World in War. We hope you enjoy the development journals!

‘The Making of…’ Articles

We’re contacting some creators to write ‘The Making of…’ articles for their games, and should have a few of those in the next issue. If you have a particular game that you like and want to ask us to get a ‘The Making of…’ article written about it, e-mail us at staff@gmking.org and tell us the game!

Games and Puzzles… in MarkUp?!

Games and puzzles never say ’serious development’ or ‘technical’, and we realize that. But we’re pretty excited about introducing new technical and serious MarkUp-esque games and puzzles in the next issue. Wait for issue 15 and tell us what you think!

Of course, as always, we have a lot of great tutorials, scripts, reviews, and interviews in store; as well us general development editorials and opinion articles. Stay tuned!
