You wud have to ask nandrew, but if you read the site,

Moreover, we're even more excited to announce that the month of October saw over 7000 Dev.Mag downloads from enthusiastic readers!

That was 18, so im sure there is more :P

Didn;t issue 1 have three different covers. There was the fist Pac Man concept paper, the real issue 1 and then the reworked issue 1 after a year.....

It was over 7k for all issues together, however, not just for 18. If I recall, 18 had something around 1500.

That was a really special month though, probably because of rAge exposure. As it stands now, issue 19 received about 800 downloads during January, with about 4300 magazine downloads in total throughout the month. It really varies quite a bit from month to month, though.

Aye. In fact, it might've even had more than 2 original cover proposals, but Nandrew's and mine were the most notable ones I can remember. The reworked cover was just a really shiny gear, but I don't think that one is available for download.

Shhh... don't tell anyone, but we have stats tracking. (http://www.devmag.org.za/usage/index.html)

Hehe, sweet.

Yeah, it's not 7K downloads of just one issue, but I'm still pretty stoked with the figures that we're getting. If I recall, this time last year we were lucky if we even got 1500 downloads in total.

I'm particularly pleased that December/January got a few thousand downloads each, considering that we didn't actually release a mag in one of those months. It means we're starting to ride on the popularity wave, and I hope to get a regular schedule of mag releases going this year to capitalise on that.

I'm also throwing about the idea of turning the Dev.Mag website into a blog of sorts to secure more regular traffic.

But yeah, awesome win thread, just saw it now. I'm keen to get a time capsule article of sorts into Dev.Mag when I have the time. :P

Oh, and:
