Game Development Monthly
The monthly Game Development Newsletter
Hey there guys, by permission of Cilerba I'm starting up a monthly newsletter for Game Development. But, I won't be doing this alone. This will be your opportunity to join in the fun and work with us on this. The newsletter will come in the form of a thread, to be posted in the Game Development forum each month. We will be having a number of sections within this letter for you guys to read through and enjoy after we have compiled the articles and got everything together. But not only do we wish to have a few people helping with the content, we're looking for opinions and suggestions as to what you think would be good in the letter and what you would potentially like to see. The sky's the limit so feel free to suggest anything you guys like.
What we need
Interviewers: 1 or 2 needed
Reviewers: 1 or 2 needed
Guide writers/Tips Writers: 2 needed
Feature writer: 1 needed
Role of the Interviewers
Each month, the interviewers will need to set up at least two interviews (though this depends on the number of interviewers we have). These interviewers will need to set up a number of questions to ask a certain member of the game development community. This is going to be an important role.
Skills/characteristics required
The interviewer will need to be able to ask good questions. They will need to be a chatty person and also be a good people person. The interviewer will be working in some live interviews at times so they need to be able to work on their feet in these respects. They will also need to have decent knowledge of how interviews work and also be quite good in the area of linguistics as phrasing a question with clarity is very important.
Role of the ReviewerThe interviewer will need to be able to ask good questions. They will need to be a chatty person and also be a good people person. The interviewer will be working in some live interviews at times so they need to be able to work on their feet in these respects. They will also need to have decent knowledge of how interviews work and also be quite good in the area of linguistics as phrasing a question with clarity is very important.
Each month we will be having a member of game development review a game, tutorial, resource or something along those lines, from within the community. We should be having a number of reviews, usually about 2 or possibly more, therefore this will be an important role.
Skills/characteristics required
The reviewer will need to be quite good with grammar and linguistics in general. They will need to know how reviews work and will need to have decent analytical skills so that they could do an accurate review.
Role of the Guide Writer/Tip WritersThe reviewer will need to be quite good with grammar and linguistics in general. They will need to know how reviews work and will need to have decent analytical skills so that they could do an accurate review.
The guide and or tip writers would need to either write up guides for people to read, much like tutorials, relating to game development and/or make an article including tips and tricks that people may not know, which also must relate to game development.
Skills/characteristics required
These writers must have very good knowledge of game development in certain areas such as scripting, eventing and it would also be good to know a lot about some of the programs such as RMXP. A lot of members use Pokémon Essentials so it would also be of benefit to the writer to know a lot about it also. They must also need to be able to write with clarity and coherence for these tutorials and guides.
Role of the Feature WriterThese writers must have very good knowledge of game development in certain areas such as scripting, eventing and it would also be good to know a lot about some of the programs such as RMXP. A lot of members use Pokémon Essentials so it would also be of benefit to the writer to know a lot about it also. They must also need to be able to write with clarity and coherence for these tutorials and guides.
It is the Feature Writer's job to write about and feature a game or two each month. It will be the job of the feature writer to write about an anticipated game with decent prospects with clear and obvious forms of quality and progress. It will be a positive declaration as to why people may wish to take interest in the certain game or games.
Skills/characteristics required
Here it will actually be good to be bias and have the ability to pick out all the finest points of a game and prove that it is worthy of being featured for that month. They will also need to be good with linguistics and have the ability to write an interesting article about a game.
