RETROBREW ISSUE #1
A downloadable Magazine
RETROBREW Issue #1 is here!
This new magazine is focused on upcoming retro homebrew videogames. I'm a homebrew developer myself ("From Below" [2020], "Witch n' Wiz" [2021]) and I've leveraged my contacts in the community to gather exclusive looks at the best and brightest homebrew games in the works.
RETROBREW is available in print, but the digital version is something really special. It features fully animated layouts akin the "game shrines" and "NES fan sites" of the late 90's and early 2000's; a potent shot of visual nostalgia.

Love the videos/gifs for each game, really brings them to life and is just a great format. Night of the Living Dead typeface was a little hard to read but aside from that minor detail, it was fantastic and I can't wait for future issues!
Thanks! I assume the font legibility issue was in the digital version, right?
Yes, for me at least, full screen on a 15” laptop
K thanks
Nice! Appreciate the "interactive" version, it was a fun way to read it.
As to content - love how many of the games covered I learned about here. Good work. Cool to see some of the more exotic ideas, such as the game that is being developed to be intentionally stretched to 16:9. We could certainly support that in Argon!
That's awesome to hear. I really tried to focus on content that you won't find anywhere else, since well, why buy a magazine when you get it for free online!
This is great. Definitely filling a gap in homebrought games. Keep it up!
thanks for checking it out!
This looks dope, happy to see it
Thanks!
will this be an on going magazine or is this a one time thing ?
on going, but no schedule from what I’ve heard
If it sells well it will be on-going, yeah.
This looks great! If we order the print version will we also get the password to the interactive online version?
Good question! Print and digital are separate purchases, so choose wisely! :)
An excellent take on a classic format brought forward in time!
Thank you!
