Newsletter 19 #496

AngelOnFira · 2021-03-01T18:51:46Z

Note from the editor:

Hey everyone! We're starting to change out the lead editor of the newsletter each month, so that the workload isn't so much each month. This month, it's me! I'm Forest, or AngelOnFira. I also edit the weekly blogs for Veloren, co-host the Rust Gamedev Podcast, and run the monthly Rust Gamedev meetup.

We're also going to be transitioning to having authors or volunteers write about their own content, rather than the editing team doing it all at the end 💯 This means if you want to see your work in the newsletter, you have to write it yourself! If you're not able to write about your work, feel free to comment and I can assign it 🆓 free. We're working on taking some of the load off the editing team where we can with this. Best to keep this sustainable!

Also, we want to make sure contributing to the newsletter feels open to anyone who wants to write a section about their project. If you have anything you can write about, just add a comment to this issue and I'll add it to the todo list 😄

Newsletter 19

Feel free to suggest sections!

If you want to help writing the newsletter:

Read CONTRIBUTING.md.
Grab some of the "🆓 free" sections by leaving a comment like "I'd like to work on {section_name_1} and {section_name_2}".
Mentions in brackets (like "🆓 free (@ozkriff?)") are just an invitation to write the corresponding section if you want, but anyone is free to take it.
Write a short overview:
- Use provided links as a starting point.
- Try to maintain a consistent style with the rest of the newsletter and run markdownlint, please.
- Insert line breaks (softbreak) at 80 chars, please.
- DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.
Send a PR to the source branch (example: N15: A/B Street #336)
- Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together.

Schedule

The deadline for all section PRs is ~~2021.03.04~~ 2021.03.06.
Review will take place on 2021.03.07
Release will be done on 2021.03.08

⚠️ It was decided to try a shorter and more limited section format: ⚠️

Only one image (<300kb) or GIF (<2.5mb) before the text. With an optional caption and a mandatory alt text.
All the (rendered) text should be under 1000 characters (including spaces and punctuation) and under 6 paragraphs (without any subsections, etc).
No bold/italic/etc formatting - only links and one plain list without nesting per section.
Third-person perspective.
80 chars per MD line and no other markdownlint warnings on CI.

Only the following simple templates are allowed:

# [Gamename]

@Keavon @kabergstrom @Lowentwickler @Dooskington a ping for sections that still need PRs! Today is the last day for sections to be added, make sure you get them done 😃

There are still several free sections if anyone would like to volunteer and take some of them. Feel free to comment any that you'd like to take 💯

voxelias · 2021-03-06T17:32:34Z

Hey Forest, @AngelOnFira!
Thanks for the reminder!
The week was tough... Did it just now.

Keavon · 2021-03-06T18:32:41Z

Thanks for the reminder @AngelOnFira, I've been traveling the past two days and I'm getting home later today. Is there a specific time of day that'd be the latest you can get it in? I'll probably be back within 8 hours from now, will that be too late?

AngelOnFira · 2021-03-06T19:26:36Z

@Keavon that should be ok, as long as I wake up tomorrow and everything is ready to go 😄 (I'm EST)

Dooskington · 2021-03-07T01:08:24Z

Sorry for the delay. Busy times 😓

ozkriff · 2021-03-07T09:05:44Z

We don't have many learning material updates this month so I'll write a few words about "Godot vs Rapier"

Everyone is invited to review the newsletter (#525)! We're almost done another month's newsletter 😄

ozkriff · 2021-03-08T18:47:19Z

Woo-hoo! Congrats on the first released newsletter, @AngelOnFira!

And, as usual, huge thanks to all editors, contributors, and reviewers! 🦀 🦀
