    I know that the news letter idea has been suggested before, but i ask you to read it before you write it off.

    This is an old copy which I wrote a while ago, I think that it would be good for KAG to have a newsletter for those who dont check the forums often or simply dont want to check through several threads to get their information. I know that there are several arguments against this idea but I still think it could be helpful to a few.

    At the moment i am just writing it for the experience and am not asking for any kind of dev affiliation.

    Please read it and offer any critique you have.

    Athough it might not be needed now something similar is likely to be very helpful later when the modding community grows.

    Needs a small graphics redesign but it is very good. If you need any help setting anything up do ask and if you want to turn it into a weekly, bi-monthly, monthly Community run newsletter we can do that? Maybe interviews with devs, project owners, tournament owners? Perhaps also video break downs on new features etc..?

    I agree, it's good, but with a graphic redesign (it's annoying to read because of it's format to be honest), it could be great.

    Yeah, the three column layout is kinda hard on the eyes. That said, it looks good and I think it'd be a great contribution to the community! :D

    it's more as inspiration, I don't really expect the op to make something of that quality.

    That's a really ignorant thing to say.

    It was a joke as KAG is always compared to Terraria, they are completely different games and as such have already pre-ordered Starbound; plus Lieber knows that.

    Thanks for your comments :)
    I agree, the graphics need to be changed to something simpler. will do that for any further versions.
    This sounds great, id love to eventually make it something similar to the Starbound chronicle with things like exclusive interviews, hints about development, top 3 best mods.

    It would be great to eventually get a proper community team writing this and eventually get something of a similar quality to the Chronicle.

    I dont know, it was an idea, I wasnt implying anything like pestering testers if that was what you were thinking.
