Pixel Nation News

My ludite (retro loving) nature is complicating things a tad though as the pixel nation website just doesn't work correctly on my computer (sigh). Win 98... still love it.

Got a PS3 or smartphone? Might work better there. Failing that, get yourself to the library. Or find a friend with a newer PC.

Come to think of it, you might get away with a Linux live CD on your own machine, the browsers on those probably offer better support for current web standards.

I can tell everyone that with Pixel Nation #1 having sold really well, work is well underway on Pixel Nation # 2 .

Pixel Nation wants to take on board feedback and ( constructive ) critique, so if anyone has anything they want to share with me along those lines, feel free to have your say.

Anyone who purchased the book ; what were your favourite articles ? what were your least favourite articles ? what would you like to see more or less of ?

Anyone who did not purchase Book # 1 ( you should do , head over to www.pixel-nation.co.uk to help support independant publishing , there are less then 30 copies left of the second print run ) , let us know what might tempt you to make a purchase in the future ?

Lets get some positive contructive dialogue going, that can help to shape the future of the Books.

Thanks very much

First its a bit silly calling it a book when its a magazine. Secondly I would suggest not listing formats on the cover if you are not going to cover them. It would also be much more appealing to me if the articles were not ones I had read a hundred times before, I am pretty sure there is nothing I don't know about Outrun by now. If there was at least a decent range of systems and companies covered and more exclusive / interesting articles I might be tempted to buy it.

In its printed form, it looks and feels more like a book. Its not large format and its much thicker than any mag.

Think small format bookazine.

Thankyou very much for the feedback. Your opinion is greatly appreciated, and duly noted.

Hopefully Volume 2 can strike a chord with you in terms of systems / articles that potentially interest you.

Yeah, thats kind of my standpoint on it too. It is a magazie style content within a book format. I dont think any potential reader would actually be put off by it being referred to as a book

Yep, it's definitely a bookazine, not a book.

Glad we got that settled

Just a quick question for your Steven, can I order a printed copy since I'm not in the UK? (does the price include shipping charges)

I'd be happy to read it and give you some feedback.

Hey Buddy ... yes absolutely you can order a printed copy to any worldwide location.. We ship the book for free to within the UK, but to any other location it is £2.00 shipping. When you check out on the site, it will calculate that for you
