Hello everyone! The newsletter team and I are pleased to present the fourth edition of osu!monthly! You can either read the higher quality version here or a compressed, lower quality version here.

In this edition we have articles that will guide you in storyboarding, interesting interviews with Cookiezi and Garven, a new crossword, and so much more. The design of the newsletter has been upgraded this month as well, so please let us you know what you think of it!

I'm having a pretty good time. Ask me things

Wheeeeee. <3

Once again, congratulations to the Crossword winners! I'm not going to reveal anything about who won — that's a secret for you to find out reading the issue.

If anyone does have any questions about last edition's answers though, feel free to ask here.

I'm really happy how the issue turned out. Make sure to play our little cover game we have as well — check out Page 3 for details.

p.s. don't forget to vote for the next KIRBY Mix

Will redo signature when not lazy.

I think it was sarcasm, it literally made us crash when we tried to open it directly with the web browser plugin. I had to save it to pdf and open it with foxit separately and it took 20s to load the first page.. And i have a i7 980 so that's not the issue here

If there ever is an issue with the high res version you can always use the lower res version on google docs right here

No we didn't. Colored spread got a mention.

If you can see this it means I'm posting outside of the mapping forums and you should take anything I said with heaps of salt, or as purely intended for humor.

The only criticism I have is that I can't imagine you guys turning out something even better for #5

.

I'd love to be proven wrong though.

If you map or mod, try out AIBat kthx.

Great job, i liked this issue more than others and I was reallly confused by the first page. I also liked an article about streams, not to mention about interview with Cookiezi.

I never really expected osu!monthly to go this far in terms of quality and issue count. Good job, everyone. Um, I hope this is the right place to bring it up, but I noticed a small error in the storyboard showcase article.

The Jarto series is a series of storyboards made by Jarby and Larto

The only contribution I've made to the Jarto series other than existing as a character is half of a guest difficulty for TiK ToK. Mashley did all of the art as well, so that definitely would have been worth mentioning.

Good job. You've managed to make it more presentable as a newsletter but keep the organizational aspects of a newspaper. I'm glad you figured out that two columns would be best for this type of project.

I'll be keeping up with you guys.

This text was a little difficult to read against the bright colors of the background on the intro page to the storyboarding by scripting article - especially while I was running and reading on my phone with the LQ version, haha.
