That's right, you heard it here first folks. Issue one of TDMonthly has been released.

I apologize for any slight spelling errors, I did not get time to send this to my proofreader while still reaching the release date. Hopefully there are very few.

GO READ IT NOW!

We want your feedback! (though technically at the moment it isn't really we, generally all of this is my work and Hammer Up's world reviews)

I'll be writing up more about everything in general later when I'm actually awake and it isn't 3:30 in the morning. ;)

This is actually pretty good.
I could apply for some job concerning the E-sports column but I'm too lazy to do it. :P

I just read through it all. Pretty good job, although the formatting could be a bit tighter.

A couple of the crossword words were a bit difficult to get from the clues, and I was surprised to find that General Crap and Total Mayhem were spelt wrong on the crossword. :P

How about just getting somebody else to look through it before releasing the magazine to the public? You don't necessarily need a proper proofread.

The YOuTube video draws over the top of the bar at the top of the page.

you should mention my stuff more, it makes me happy.

I read through it, and it was pretty nice. Perhaps you should change the colors to be more Hamumu-ey.

I could be the B-Leaguer following B Mafia games.

I can be the Popular Threads scanner. I'll email the editor though. :D

About colors... The general goal of this first issue was to get it all working, the next issue will be about fixing stuff up, improving little bits. Color scheme is a tough one to do without making it hard to read. I will take any feedback regarding suggestions for that.

The YOuTube video draws over the top of the bar at the top of the page. I'm aware, nothing can be done about that. I may be implementing a toggle thing for videos because of their size and what was stated earlier about the bar.

Highest rated world of the month! :D

Aside from making my day with that, it was actually pretty good, altough I don't think the page of Jamul's journal entries was nessary.

Quick question, will there be an archive of past issues, or will they disappear when the next comes out?

Cool. I like it. For a first issue, it looks pretty well done. I particularly liked the Community Happenings, and I can't wait for the puzzles. Me Likes Puzzles ALOT :lol:. Looking forward to the next issue... and the next issue... and the next issue... and the next issue... and the next issue... and the next issue... etc.

Thanks for the constructive feedback so far everybody!

A general idea of what to expect new in the next issue so far:

- A new TDMonthly exclusive comic series!
- Updated layout in various places
- Mafia game summaries
- A new unannounced column
- Unfinished pages finished up for public view
- Issue Archive

Howdy everyone.

TDMonthly is still looking for new column ideas and someone to make puzzles, crosswords and such for next issue's newspaper.

Also, looking for a good scanner to read over the newspaper before release for errors as my previous one appears to have disappeared. (Hammered) I will have high expectations when hiring someone for this.

I went on a quick suprise trip to Disneyland for a bit and afraid there is no Issue 2 ready because of that. I intend to completely go on with the issue, to be released soon in the next few days hopefully. I am also missing someone's piece of work for the issue, you know who you are.
