Yeah, a lot of NY-ers make a little journall of their progress. I also think that Sony has created the biggest group of dedicated gameplayers (with job-wishes in the industry), and got them in contact with each other. I understand that there is still IRC, but we have a complete community.. > I think pushing for a regular section in the official magazine would also be > a good idea as before I was a Yarozer I would have loved more technical info > and an amateurs section.

I don't see the NY as just a grey PSX that can be conected to a PC or Mac, I see it as a community with people with similar idea's and wishes. It's not just the machine, but more the people that use it. They got the biggest group of developers for PSX, and they are all in contact with each other. It's just like school. At this moment I'm doing a MA GAMES study. In our group are only people that love games and know a lot about them, this way you learn from the others. If somebody read something interesting, he will take the book or magazine to show the others. And this is what it's all about. Sharing information. I just got a book from a good friend, a fellow NY-member. The book is called "Games Design, secrets of the sages". I can just say one thing about it... BUY IT!!!!!!! It's about the complete process of developing games. Not the design or the coding, it's more about the ins and the outs. Some very interesting people took part in this book. People like; Peter Molyneux, Shigeru Miyamoto, John Romero and David Perry, and lots more!!
