Just a heads up that we are working on the new issue, but things have been a little hectic on our side (particularly with Nandrew), and we apologise for the tardiness. I'm afraid I cannot give an estimation as to when it will be ready, but trust that it will be out at the soonest possible time.

The thread's not all bad news, though, there is some good. It appears that, for the month of February, we accumulated nearly 16 000 downloads for our magazines, nearly 2 500 of those from the latest 20th issue. That month moved twice as much traffic from our server as any month before, nearly 60 GB worth of activity. Needless to say, Nandrew and I are psyched about the constant increase in activity, and I thought I would share. ;)

Guys, those download stats are great! So that's 16 000 downloads for all issues during Feb, or counting from site start until Feb, 16 000 downloads in total?

16 000 only in February.

I'll see if I can work up some cumulative stats.

Please do! I'll be using those figures late in March at a couple of meetings. Might be able to make some cool things happen...

Does my Gazzasense detect possible sponsorship? ;)

I don't think those download stats need any additional comment. I mean... Wow!

I've been trying to post those stats on the Game.Dev site for a full day now... The whole thing seems to be falling apart. Bleh. Why can't this happen when I have TIME to fix it?

Gneeurgh, I know what you feel like.

Really sorry about the lateness of this edition, guys. I'm trying to grab any moment I can to work on the mag, but it's just not happening. And I'd really love to get the next edition out quickly to ride on the wave we've got going here.

I'll need to pay someone else to do the design occasionally, or something. ;)

In the meantime: y'all see how popular we're getting. The stats are awesome, if I wasn't so tense I'd be jumping up and down with excitement. I'd like you guys to just take the initiative in the meantime and start working on content for Issue 22. I'll try get a prep thread up if needed.

Right, I put together and organized all the stats I can muster. Our total cumulative downloads from the new site sits currently at just under 75 000.

And, because peoples likes perdy graphs.

Ooh - that is very impressive! Very well done indeed, all of you who work on the magazine! ^_^

That is quite an expressive graph, Chippit - it makes the growth of the magazine quite apparent. ^_^

Eugh, amidst this great news, I can't help but feel a little guilty that the next one is so slow.

We just had a problem with gathering some content, but hopefully we'll be out within the next few days. Thanks to everybody for the patience and the massive super support. ;) It's greatly appreciated!
