the future of Reload
Hi Reload readers, Over the last couple months I've been going through our Issue 3 articles and I am nearing completion of the posting of those articles. I promise I have not forgotten - I have just been having a tough time getting articles out in a timely manner because several factors, mostly my full time job. I am doing my best to organise everything and I will try to sit down this weekend, get everything scheduled and out. I will also be sure to update our Steam Curator list to reflect Issue 3. However, I don't want to sugarcoat things. This has been a massive undertaking and while I love, love, love Reload and what the mission has and always will be, I cannot promise I will be as present as I was. I will still do my best to retweet the cool things you make, I'll still do the dev threads as long as you want me to do them. But I can't promise articles, I don't have the time nor resources to play & cover the volume that Reload once had. It's been tough going this alone, I can't lie. I heavily encourage you all to support other great mags like Fearzine, Debug, etc. - they love indies as much as Reload does and are actively working hard to keep up with your awesome escapades. As always, thank you. I have loved experiencing the works you have created, and your feedback and support means the world. Love and frags, Shannon

Re: The Mag
Hi Reload Community, When we created Reload Magazine, we did so with the hopes that we could shine a light on indie, retro FPS games and their devs, and create a strong community in the process. In that, we succeeded, and we’re proud of that. However, sadly, we also have found ourselves in different places than when we started this project, and it has resulted in basically all of us being unable to continue working on the magazine in its current format. The solution we have agreed upon is for us to post articles that would have been in Issue #3 onto our website, https://reload-magazine.net/. After this, a few of us hope to still publish articles on the site if we find cool games we’d like to cover, but there will be no guaranteed publishing schedule. The website, social media accounts, and Discord will remain intact, and Shannon (Major Arlene) will be running these. We hope you’ll continue to engage with us in those places! We sincerely apologize that we couldn’t continue this project in its current format. We really, really wanted to, but it does not seem to be feasible at this time, due to both time and cost constraints. This decision was made after months of communication and negotiation amongst the entire team, so rest assured everything has been carefully considered in this decision. We have surmounted an incredible amount of obstacles in the process of creating this magazine, and we’re proud of what we managed to accomplish with the backing of this incredible community. We thank everyone who has ever trusted us with a build of their game to be covered in an article, participated in one of our game jams, or supported us by buying one of our magazines. We also thank all of the writers, editors, and leaders of this magazine, past and present. This truly was a team effort and would have never existed without the dedication of everyone involved. With love and frags, The staff at Reload Magazine

Germany has introduced new age restriction requirements that require devs to fill out a content survey on Steam in order for their games to show up in Germany, which takes effect today.

This Day in FPS History
20 years ago today, iD Software released the most divisive, or maybe just the most misunderstood entry in the #DOOM franchise: DOOM 3.
Realizing the horror aspects the OG already heavily implied to the fullest, most love it or hate it.

FPS FANS: at Reload we love indie fps games of all flavors. That includes the melee heavy imsim CORPUS EDAX which you should definitely check out below, as well as the titles other indie devs will share in the comments. Always good stuff here.

This Day in FPS History
25 years ago today, #Xatrix set us on a path of vengeance against a crime syndicate and its #Kingpin.
Extremely brutal, with a host of profanity and a pretty banger soundtrack by Cypress Hill, it sure was an experience.
What do you remember from the OG?

This Day in FPS History 28 years ago today,
idSoftware released #Quake. While the world is holding its breath, waiting for a new entry in the series, let's just celebrate this undisputed milestone in the world of FPS and gaming in general! What's your favorite OG Quake memory?

This Day in FPS History 28 years ago today,
iD Software, Dario and Milo Casali, and the late Ty Haldemann of TeamTNT brought us 64 new maps with #FinalDOOM's TNT:Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment, dividing the fanbase quite a bit. Have you pistol-started all of Plutonia yet?

This Day in FPS History
13 years ago today, Gearbox made it out of development hell and released #DukeNukemForever. Reception was lackluster and fans disappointed, especially with its 2001 E3 demo in mind. But is it really such a bad game? What did you like about DNF?

This Day in FPS History 22 years ago today, #4DRulers picked a bad time to release an, admittedly mid, arena multiplayer shooter. But then again, #Gore lets you unload a quad-shotty on chainsaw-wielding skeletons, that's got to count for something. Were you the ultimate soldier?

This Day in FPS History 20 years ago today,
Starbreeze Entertainment and Tigon Studios proved that games based on movie IPs can actually be... pretty amazing. The Chronicles of #Riddick: Escape from #ButcherBay's playstyles and compelling story are something to be experienced. Have you?

FPS FANS: Every week we scream and yell about fantastic indie FPS titles and the work being done on them! Like Hands of Necromancy 2 below, which you should check out!

This Day in FPS History 22 years ago today, British dev studio #RageSoftware switched soccer balls for rocket launchers, releasing #MobileForces. While being one of the few of it's kind to offer vehicle gameplay, the mark it left is comparably small. Did it leave one on you?

This Day in FPS History
30 years ago today, David Gray graced us with the FPS version of his original Hugo adventure series, #Nitemare3D.
More than reminiscent of Wolfenstein 3D in its presentation, it's an interesting sidestep into the horror adventure genre.
Did it spook you?
