Oh, uh! Hello! This is CONTINUE.
We're a defiant, new videogames magazine. We have assembled an incredible roster of talented creatives, writers, artists and illustrators to build Issue 01 of our new magazine.
We launched our Kickstarter today!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...
How I'm gonna sleep tonight after seeing how many people supported and understood what @jacksonwryan.com and I wanna do with @continuemag.bsky.social
Thank you so much. Such a mad, overwhelming day.
“If only there was…”
There is!
“I’d love to read a good…”
Here’s one!
Gotta get behind folks when they take the risk and put a shiny new thing out there - especially when it is supporting writers and artists fairly. Go go go!
Sick stuff. Proud of these lads! And you can preorder issue two!
I miss content like this - I still have my Zzap64! magazines from the late 80s, and they are a pleasure to browse through. A snapshot in time.
But this... this sounds like a snapshot of current videogame culture. And I'm here for it.
Please join me in backing these two legends to bring Continue to life!
Issue 1 has a killer lineup of authors, with a cover illustrated by my endlessly creative pal @jkcrosbyfun.bsky.social.
Support independent media!
If I had a cent to spare I'd back this. Maybe you can do it for me? ❣️
Ahhhhhhh. Sobbing my little eyes out. We just hit the three hour mark and we are over 50% funded already. This is immense. I can only say thank you thank you thank you to everyone contributing and sharing and asking for more of this. AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Excited to be back contributing to the thing that started my career in the first place: Australian PRINT MAGAZINES!

"We want to focus on Australian games and Australian developers and while our first issue focuses on our home, games are global — we'll be chasing stories from across the planet."
We're so excited to see this, great job pals @jacksonwryan.com and @serrels.bsky.social! 👏
Also @jkcrosbyfun.bsky.social is a genius.
Why a magazine? We know how weird things are online. We don't wanna worry about SEO or dwell time or AI swallowing up our work. We want to write the best possible stories without compromise and we want to make this thing look beautiful.
We want to build a platform for existing and emerging writers and illustrators to do their absolute best work. We want to create THE best possible magazine. We already have incredible people lined up. But we want you to get involved too.
WILL YOU CONTINUE?!!
If you’ve ever engaged with media in Australia, time to put your money where your mouth is.
We NEED a cultural voice & we need to support our incredible journalists that we are beyond spoiled to have and have taken for granted for too long.
Back this immediately and ensure its future.
More new, cool publications = good!!
A new Australian print gaming magazine? In the year 2026? Sign me UP!
I hope they succeed in funding this, because if they do, I'll definitely get a subscription
So excited about this. Australia has long been a great home for brilliant games journalism and, of course, game development. The team behind this is incredible and the first issue looks like a stunner. I can't wait to get my hands on this one.
Fantastic news.
Two ex-Kotaku(Au) & PC Powerplay legends are launching a beautiful videogames print mag. Full of great HUMAN writing and art.
Please consider sharing/kickstarting.
Babe wake up, new videogame print magazine just dropped!
Get behind this magazine from a couple of absolute kings from the Aus journalism scene.
Looks siiiick. Cleanse your soul with some print media
This man, Serrels, he does great things, writes great things and although I've never met him in real life, has also been great to me..
This will also be great.
Please continue to the link to show your support
Love this!
Games media in Australia is being pushed closer to a cliff and there are so many local voices showing up and fighting to keep it alive!
Any support you can muster for projects like this, and the writers you enjoy goes a long fucking way 🙏
I have said to anyone who will listen over the last few years that I earnestly believe that magazines are going to make a comeback, and I look forward to being proven right
A true dream project, and I am absolutely delighted to have a piece slated for issue one (which I will start working on the moment this thing is funded)
So excited for my friend @serrels.bsky.social on the launch of their crowdfunding campaign for a NEW GAMING MAGAZINE!
Check it out and consider kicking them some backer money, they need your support!
