ALPHA | WEBSITEOVERVIEW
Introducing develop-online.net Last month we relaunched our leading games development trade site with a brand new look – and a new URL. Here, we offer everything you need to know about Develop’s new home on the web…
BLOGS As well as our leading features page, Develop now has its own blog section. It offers opinions from Develop staff and our regular magazine columnists’ contributions – but games industry members are also able to submit their own blogs. We have industry contributors lined up to start offering their views and development diaries, but the door is open for more. If you have something you want to get off your chest, a debate you want to raise, or are looking for somewhere to discuss what your company is up to, the Develop blog is the ideal place to do so. Contact rob.crossley@intentmedia.co.uk to get involved.
NETWORKING AND EVENTS From the Develop Conference to GDC Canada to E3, here you’ll find the best info on key games industry events and networking opportunities. Full details, from dates to attendees to agenda, can be found in each listing. If you want your trade event on our comprehensive list, contact will.freeman@intentmedia.co.uk

NEWS The Develop team post breaking news, announcements and commentary every day. Be it new tech licensees to studio acquisitions – we cover every story that matters to games development. There’s a multitude of ways to get this content, from our RSS feed, Twitter, or our Daily Digest newsletter. We also have Newsflashes for the stories that just can’t wait. And if you’ve been out of the loop for a few days the best place to go is Develop’s news tab. Here, we have an archive of stories, which lists news by the day, offers access to Develop’s entire album of news reports, and lists our most popular stories. Users can also submit tips to us – off the record by default – and also send over announcements and press releases. Develop also boasts a news feed section which highlights stories found on other industry sites too.
