#oneaday Day 919: Finally revealed

Good evening everyone! I'm very happy to finally reveal something I've been teasing for what feels like ages because certain aspects of the launch were out of my hands.

You may recall that I've been talking about doing some "retro-related" project at work for a while. Well, here it is — I present to you Retro Unite!

https://retrounite.wordpress.com/

(Please let me know if this doesn't work, they only turned it on today.)

I'll be working on this alongside my work on Rice Digital so updates may be a little slow until we get things rolling and completely organised (we have a social media person to put in place, for example) but yes, this is up and running now!

Retro Unite is a website that is simply about the joy of retro gaming. We'll be covering all manner of different things on the site, as you can see from what's already there. Long-term we hope to have some interviews with interesting people and coverage of some community projects, so we really hope that this will become a fun hub for retro fans to hang out at and celebrate their love of old games.

So far as staffing goes, it's a bit of a skeleton staff to begin with while we get everything in place; I'm also not 100% sure of the budget we have (if any) to begin with, but if it turns out we do have some freelance budget available I'll be sure to come a-knockin' on some of your doors to help out.

In the meantime, if you have stuff you want to announce or share and you think it'll make something interesting for Retro Unite's readers to check out, be sure to let me know. I'm already planning on using the "Video" section to feature relevant videos from around the retro gaming community rather than just our own work, so if you're working on things and would like to get them in front of a new audience, just shout. I'm always up for watching new fun stuff, too, of course!

Anyway. That's all I have to say about that for now, but check back regularly on the site for new articles and all manner of other good stuff. Hope you enjoy!
