Active development of Issue 15 of MarkUp magazine has begun, so you can expect the new issue of MarkUp to be released somewhere between the end of this month and the first week of next month, hopefully earlier!

The layout has been finalized, and I’m happy to say its blue, so all of you who said they liked the style of the previous issue but wanted another color can now relax.Though the exact degree of blue might change a bit with the first couple of drafts, we’re confident we found the inner design of our choice for this issue, and we hope you’ll like it!

On the cover side, staff voting is going on to determine the cover we will use. The voting has been tight and we got a tie earlier, which caused us to do a revote with only the most two popular options, we’ll see how it goes!

We have got a lot of reviews and interviews packed for this issue too, expect to see games like Senseless War, Mubbly Tower, Angels, Silent Dawn reviewed in the next issue, as well as the authors of some of these games interivewed.

The Cities at War and World in War development journals are complete. For this issue, the journals will be a bit “ligher”, since they are introductory, talking about the background of the project, planned features, etc. Expect to see more technical and engaging content so on.

Our ‘The Making of…’ article will address the making of “Visit”. Other content includes Drag and Drop to GML conversion, storyline writing and character design, and much more. If you still have suggestions on articles to include for this issue of MarkUp, make sure to contact the staff at the MarkUp 15 topic on the GMking.org forums.
