Issue 11 shipped!
Well, actually, it shipped a few days ago! I just didn't get around to fully updating and posting on Patreon until now. PDF version will be uploaded to Patreon on February 3rd as scheduled while the physical versions spend a couple of weeks in international transit. You can do it, issues! Travel the world!
Teaser for Issue 11
Happy new year, everyone!Just making a post to show I'm still alive - I should hopefully get things finished in time to ship on 17th January as scheduled, though as always, I'm cutting it close. It shouldn't be delayed too much if it doesn't ship, just a few days or so.In the meantime, enjoy a textless version of the upcoming cover art!
Issue 10 PDF!
Find the PDF attached to this post!I hear one of my subscribers for the physical issue had Patreon not charge them in December for unknown reasons, which left them off the postal list.If this has happened to anyone else, please reach out to me so I can try to sort things out.
Issue 10 shipping tomorrow!
Hopefully this makes it to everyone before Christmas!I'm somewhat anticipating it to turn up late for some people just because of the Christmas post rush, but at least this year things aren't quite as crazy as the end of 2020 when all kinds of political and biological nonsense happened at the same time.As always, if any of your issues arrived damaged or didn't turn up, let me know. I always want to resolve any unforeseen problems inst...
Supporting Montreal Community Meetup and ExtraLife!
AnnK, the key inspiration for me starting up my own zine, managed to help add me into helping the Montreal Community Meetup out! More details on the charity event can be found on the twitter link posted, but what I really wanted to do is link to AnnK too. She did so much work while I was busy working on the zine and attending events to cover!:Twitter: https://twitter.com/AgentAnnKTwitch: http://twitch.tv/annk_ Patreon: http://patreon.com/DankArt ...
New cover design sneak peek!
I'm actually on time! Now TangoPunk is in double digits and the mainline Playstation Sankyo Fever games are covered, the cover has a new mascot - Low Poly Tango, created by @po_lez on twitter!I'm excited to finally have a poseable model to use.Issue 10 will ship on December 3rd as planned!
Issue 9 PDF!
Issue 9 PDF attached! Apparently it's November?!This whole year has been a wild ride. Wake, work, video game, zine work, sleep, oh it's nearing the end of the year. Hopefully everyone is starting to get their physical issue 9s in the post for those who are on that tier. If not, give it another week, then DM me if it still hasn't arrived and I'll send out another copy.The next issue (10) will start shipping on December 3rd assuming...
They finally arrived…
Issue 9 shipping very soon!
Small progress update
Given how long this issue is taking, I figured I'd give an update on the current status of how Issue 9's going.Page layouts, photo editing, images: 48 of 48 pagesText content and print formatting: 25 of 48 pagesWriting is the easiest part of the zine, but battling the formatting is what's taking up the time right now. I'm steadily getting there!
Delay / No charge for existing subs this month again
Once more, my real life has been taking up my free time, so the next issue will be delayed and there'll be no charge for October for existing subs.New subs will still receive the latest issue and PDF archive, so that will still have the initial sub charge.I apologise for the delays!Something I didn't realise myself until I busted the calculator out, when Issue 9 releases, I'll have made over 400 pages of zine content over this past ye...
Issue 1-8 PDFs!
Now that all PDFs are included in all tiers, I've attached them all to this post for convenience, alongside the latest PDF (Issue 8).
Calls for Interviews and Diary Entries
Now that I'm mostly caught up after that short break, I can get back to including supporter things again!If anyone is working on a project and wouldn't mind a simple short online interview, message me on Patreon or Discord. It'll involve just four questions about it, and then I'll ask you to expand on your answers if needed.If you want a diary entry, the old standards apply: Just once sentence about what you've been doing late...
Sending out Issue 8s now, plus PDF tier change!
It's been a while, I know, but Issue 8s are now being sent out!Plus, I've now changed the PDF tier so that people can always get every PDF regardless of when they join or leave. If you want to join, download everything, then run away, that's totally okay! I do hope some people will stick around to help support the zine though!
Current update
The next issue has been sent to the printers and should be with me soon, and I plan to send them out on the 17th August, so in total this will be two weeks later than usual.Just for clarification for anybody new who is looking at this post, nobody was charged at the start of this month due to the two week delay. Once I get this issue shipped on the 17th, I can continue the six week cycle of new issues!This seemed to work out pretty well - I get m...
No Patreon charge for August for current subs - Issue 8 delayed
I've taken the decision to pause the Patreon subscription while I catch up with things, as I've been rushed for a few months now due to real life issues of work and a torn achilles tendon. There'll still be an issue sent out in August, but it'll be later than normal.Current subscribers will not be charged for August.Brand new subscribers during August will be charged, as they get the most recent issue (Issue 7) sent out immediatel...

Signed copies now available on single issues
There's now a tier for signed copies without getting any back issues, for those who want them.If you're currently on a single issue tier and want to move upward, I recommend waiting until next month before changing tiers to avoid paying extra. If you're currently on a back issue tier, and want to move downward, I recommend changing it before the month ends to avoid being charged for a back issue. (I'll be sending you a DM too to h...
Diary entry reminder!
If you'd like your diary entry in the next issue, remember there's only a week or so left until the end of February, which is the deadline. All I need is a name you'd go by (even if that's just "Anonymous"), and a max of two sentences saying what you've been up to, and it'll be preserved in print. Right now, there's not enough people submitting for it to go ahead, so I encourage anyone interested to help make i...
Issue 4 PDF!
Digital version attached to this post! Remember to download it, PDFs get cycled out each six weeks.
Immortalise your life in print! (and Issue 4s shipped!)
I've been thinking of ways to include Patreon names in the zine. A list of supporter names is far too dull for my tastes, and letters are too dry- After all, you could just ask me directly, not have some letter published.Thus, I have decided on a reader diary entry page, so users can see what other people are thinking at the time of print, and use it like a time capsule so they can remember their own thoughts whenever they check out the zine!...
Just under a week away 'til things get rolling again.
Thanks for bearing with me on this extended wait for the next issue.Trust me, it might have been quiet on your end, but I've been at the grind this month!If you're looking to change your pledge, now's the time to do it before February 1st hits.The six week schedule is as follows:February 3rd: All Issue 4s get shippedFebruary 17th: All Issue 4 PDFs get sent outMarch 17th: All Issue 5s get shippedApril 3rd: All Issue 5 PDFs get sent out...
Road to Issue 4!
Issue 4 releases February 3rd, so I'd like to thank everyone for their patience!I've been hard at work behind the scenes getting things prepped for the future, and as existing subscribers already know, refinements to the zine quality have been worked on many times.I've added the first Issue 4 trailer video, and plan to make several variations of it as time passes. Getting the word out is important for me!Music and lyrics by geno7 - ht...
