OK I said i'd do a mini review thing .. but I never got round to it :/
Octave collared me on irc and "reminded" me so here it is.
My main gripe is that the CD is pc-centric, I can open the pdf magazines on my mac but the executables are PC only for the music :/ If an alternate distribution method was found then thats that gripe gone.
The magazines:
Well laid out, some good informative articles and lots of good content.
Demo's:
BitLite Demo: Very well done, liked the 3d, the music was pretty good and the introduction to who the people were would have been more useful to me before I arrived (not knowing anyone)
Jukebox of music: Liked some of the tunes, a few were a bit too "dancey" for me, but then dance isn't my thing. I did prefer the game remixes to the original productions however, but thats not because they are bad tracks, just that at the moment i'm in full on game music mode since the BIT/RV show
Websites demo: I would have preferred actual data on the websites rather than a bit of information on each one. Maybe a few screengrabs of them or something. As a demo it functioned well though.
Retro Revival:
Nice tune, nice graphics. Nice demo.
All in all its a well put together package, the only main gripe I have is the lack of mac friendlyness but thats understandable with the 3d I guess.
Looking forward to your next one tho chap.

*Grin* I'll rather be late and have a good night (that is almost guarantied) so give the freebies away. But leave that last pole standing for me
