Why a magazine?
We love games magazines. We really miss games magazines. We believe there’s space for an Australian-made games magazine to cover local issues and speak to a savvy audience, hungry to be part of the conversation.And we want CONTINUE to function like a memory card.CONTINUE is preservation. It's video game journalism without corporate overlords. We don’t have to worry about SEO or clicks or AI plagiarising our work.We're creating something tangible you can hold, something eye-wateringly beautiful you can get excited about buying, something that you can't wait to open when you receive it in the mail. We want to stuff it full of art that you could cut out and chuck on your bedroom wall, or frame for above your office desk. We want it to be lasting.We want to make a magazine because we know what they mean — we grew up reading them, too.
