RETROBREW: Retro Homebrew Videogame Magazine

Post by Goose2k »

RETROBREW: A Modern Homebrew Game Magazine

This new magazine is focused on upcoming retro homebrew videogames. I'm a homebrew developer myself ("From Below" [2020], "Witch n' Wiz" [2021]) and I've leveraged my contacts in the community to gather exclusive looks at the best and brightest homebrew games in the works.

RETROBREW is available in print, but the digital version is something really special. It features fully animated layouts akin the "game shrines" and "NES fan sites" of the late 90's and early 2000's; a potent shot of visual nostalgia.

Just a tease for now, but I'm working on a new Magazine, RETROBREW, focused on Homebrew across all platforms.

It'll be available in both Print and Digital forms.

I'll be announcing how you can purchase it in the next week or so... for now here's a little preview of the print version.

There's definitely some overlap between the two i think. Key differences are probably:

* RETROBREW covers all platforms.
* RETROBREW is previews only, with very little long form writing.
* RETROBREW has an "interactive" Digital version with animated gifs and videos.
