Recommended improvements: - Preview of the current magazine. I would never buy before I knew what it was. - The site design takes me back to my first website in the early nineties. If you don't know how to design, then just use something like Twitter Bootstrap. - And most important, why should I buy this? This should be explained succinctly on the site.


Agreed. A sample page or two would help me decide if I'd buy this. As of right now, however, I wouldn't spend a dime on it as nearly everything on the page is useless to a Python newbie who's interested in game programming like me.


The site design is retro on purpose. I agree about the preview though. An article list and a couple of free things could get me to buy.


It seems like a pretty interesting time to be a game dev. Lot's of game competition, stuff like Humble bundle coming up on HN this past year, not to mention rise of all the app stores. I really liked the store that rolls out with Ubuntu(aka software center), it has some pretty neat Indie games that you can buy. Some of them you might already know from the humble bundles.
