Editor's Message

H ello again! This is now our third issue of Pascal Gamer Magazine. It

has been a long time putting this last one together as my plate has

been super full lately. As many may know, I recently took back up, the

mantle of running the Pascal Game Development community website as well.

There has been a lot of changes there and I hope that everyone interested in

game development with the Pascal or Object Pascal language will register and

enjoy all that the newly redone site has to offer.

I would also like to mention again that if it were not for those who

graciously offered their time and effort writing these wonderful articles that

there would be no magazine at all. So thank you to our volunteering writers for

your submissions to this issue. Thanks to your collective works, this is the

biggest one to date. I hope that developers continue to offer such support in the

future of these fun and exciting projects that make our community worth

partaking in.

I wanted to get back to focusing on those teams and individuals who made

and continue to make an impact on our community with their own

contributions, such as game releases and all the cool tools that we love to use.

This issue's feature takes a look at a team who has been around for a long time

and has such a great amount of creative energy. They have managed to put at

least as many as five game releases and is soon to have two separate franchises

in the shareware market. Not too many people can say that they have done the

same. Magic Storm is an inspirational group of game developers who I hope

inspire others to try their own hands at what they have done.

On top of there being more pages than before, there is also more game

reviews than before. It meant more work to do as many, but I'm sure you'll all

agree it was well worth it. Go check out these games and see how they stack up

for yourselves.

Finally, we managed to get an article on Asphyre Sphinx. I've been trying

to fit something in on the amazing project and finally I've managed to do so. I

also am happy to be able to bring back the Project Highlights section for this

issue. It's important to look at some of the great resources we have available to

us to use. Without them we wouldn't have the great and vibrant development

community we have today.

With that said, I'd like to thank everyone for reading one of the best game

development magazines on the internet. Have fun and keep coding!
