Hey, thought I'd seperate-out the zine stuff so it doesn't get all cluttered. Below are the zine-thoughts I've had so far, please post any other ideas, wants, etc!
We also talked about the idea of physical versions of flickgames that would take the form of a larger piece of paper that you unfold to navigate. Decky posted a good plan for making those work in the Discord, and I was also looking at this program called Laidout that makes it easy to play with real interesting designs. I might reach out to some GT-affiliated people who aren't actually showing anything too, depending on how many pages we fill.
There'll be a credits page/s in the zine, so everyone in the show should give me a name plus a website and social media link if they want (I'll also put a link to your GT profile).
There's a sheet in the spreadsheet for zine details. Please check your details there: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_JcwqkTtlMpnso8nXaYrnvNcQnuzPKwML2kCA4bO0K0/edit#gid=1251148163

this is a good idea. i would
this is a good idea. i would love to write some kind of small essay, especially perhaps about one or some of the games that are in the exhibition. i'm still feeling inspired by sam crisp's writing about Jake Clover's 'Gradient Addiction' which was in that bonfire park collection which i think i found via you on mastodon. https://alexbennetts.itch.io/bonfire-park
i was going to suggest that people might like to write things about games to be presented as part of the exhibition. like to be on a piece of paper next to the game. it depends on how the games are displayed, if there's many games on each machine it might not make sense.
depending on how many people would be interested in writing something i'd suggest it as a separate thing, otherwise just having a few pages in this zine for text would be cool :)
I was hoping you'd write
I was hoping you'd write something ;)
Maybe it could even spin-off into a once-a-year zine or something :O
I want to write something
I want to write something for this and will try to write that thing soon. It also might be handwritten and/or illustrated in some way. Haven't decided yet.
So I was wondering if maybe
So I was wondering if maybe we could devote one or two pages of this to short lists (max five or ten items) of recommended GT games by GT users. Stuff that isn't (or is) being exhibited that individual members of the community find inspiring or valuable or whatever.
I was thinking of writing an article for the zine to that effect, but I was thinking it might instead be cool to give people who pick up the zine a small spread of a few dozen games they can go home and check out.
Note: I'd be happy to design this feature.
I like the idea. Not sure
I like the idea. Not sure how many lists we can cram onto a folded sheet of paper... I guess 4 or 6? So 8 or 12 across two pages. Not saying it can't take more pages!
Uh I took the liberty of
Uh I took the liberty of starting a thread to collect these: https://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/11043
Hope that's ok.

This might enf up as the bulk of the zine actually, which is pretty cool with me!
hey for people who haven't
hey for people who haven't seen this on the discord, i'm putting together a collage for this (maybe it can be a poster too)
what i'm looking for is graphics from your trainwrecks:
- preferably sprites
- preferably transparent
- don't need to be from games in the exhibition
- can be from games you haven't released
if you're interested, let me know. together we can build the messy, trashy and garish future
Oh rad! I'll try to get some
Oh rad! I'll try to get some things to ya soon.
Here are sprites from some
Here are sprites from some of my various GT submissions
Last call!
I'll repost here what I just put in the discord:
