Blog post
Hi all,
Back in January Ben put out a GG podcast which I believe was insanely popular. Jeremy Alessi suggested he would enjoy a regular podcast, as did the comments all over the forums and the origional blog. A few months later a community magazine was proposed which I volunteered to help in but it seemed to die a lonely death.
So I figured why not try and create a semi regular podcast, maybe fortnightly, perhaps even weekly, dedicated specifically to Garage Games and it's community. My studio has good relations with a high bandwidth supplier, and audio experts, so technically we could achieve it. The community could get serious air time with reviews, interviews, previews and features about popular ideas, technology, games or people. A lot of discussion occurs every day in this community, and most of us are tech savvy, so I figured why not try and produce something.
So I came up with a basic plan of different ideas, as well as some sample content if we were to do this podcast right NOW:
GG News
First up would be news from the community, just the core headlines.
This Weeks Examples :
TSE (T Advanced Tech) reaches MS4 and EA days are numbered, latest TGB release, and new distribution method for media.
Community news
Very brief summary of interesting community blogs or posts recently...
Development Roundtable
Pick up on one or two of the key contentions, and grab a couple of people who obviously feel strongly (preferably opposed) and have a round table.
This Weeks Examples :
TSE name change.....
Mini Reviews
Nothing long winded, just comment on any released content packs, games, tools etc.
This Weeks Examples :
Shaper 1.0 maybe? I
Mini Previews
Nothing long winded, just comment on any demos, screenshots of the day etc.
This Weeks Examples :
Illuminia Demo
The roundtable could be substituted for an interview perhaps with a leading developer of a game or resource. Speaking of resources, useful ones could be plugged, we could offer tips and hints of the intricicies of torque... I think the possibilities are endless for content. So before I go and grab a mixer and decent mic I wanted to get some community thoughts..good idea? Bad idea? Stuff you'd like to see / not see? Maybe you want in on a discussion?
I'd love to hear your thoughts guys,

Another suggestion would be to have a weekly/monthly video podcast looking at the latest and greatest games available from the community.

I know I'm VERY late posting this, but I got into Torque very late, however, I'm very keen on hearing from you guys but can't find anything other than the podcast done in January 2006.
Hope to hear more Garagegames voices in the near future.
