A while back I was interviewed by a writer from Hyper Magazine regarding RPG Maker, its community and my personal experiences with it. He told me that it was for a future article on the greater RPG Maker community for his Australia-based magazine.

Two months later Hyper Issue #203 hit the shelves and lo and behold the article was published! Since it is not sold where I live, a friend who lives in Australia, SGCN, had kindly purchased the magazine and scanned in the relevant pages. I have re-uploaded the file here for your leisured reading!

This article is really good - much better than I was expecting (or was it fearing?). Liam did a good job overall at giving the community a fair shake, and juxtaposing commercial and non-commercial activities. All the interviewees gave great, honest answers that really reflect well back on the RM community.

It looks like that along with me, Drunken_Paladin and harmonic were interviewed by Liam (the Hyper writer), with DP giving it the creative outlet angle, myself going on about nostalgia, and harmonic giving his commercial venture perspective. Actually, I was surprised at how like-minded we are in a lot of respects!

All in all it is a great article! Thanks Liam, and thanks Hyper!
