Upcoming Columns
We have several other columns planned or are considering which have not officially been launched yet. We are actively seeking contributors for these columns. If you would like to contribute, or know someone who would, please contact us.

Here are the columns which are currently under consideration.

• The Game Coroner - Our version of postmortems.
• Exposed @ GameDev.net - (Working title.) Back in the days of Sweet.Oblivion, we used to do a monthly feature called The Shrine, which was a really in-depth interview/profile of a well-known developer. Often, they would join a public chat session as well. We'd like to bring these back.
• Product reviews - (No title yet.) GDNet staff will do in-depth reviews of products used by developers. If there are specific things you'd like us to look at, let us know.
• Console development - Tentative. No title yet.

If there are other topics you would like to see covered by a column, we're open to suggestions. Keep in mind though that some topics simply aren't big enough to dedicate an ongoing column to, and thus work better as regular featured articles.
