I installed Adobe Air, but I still can't get the application to open; I still get an error message that I need to install Adobe Air. Help? It specifically is looking for "CreatePropertySheetPageW" in the "dynamic link library".
The amount of childlike joy and whimsy this entire page gave me.... is indescribable!!! Not only do I now want to make MORE ZINES but I also want to create something this soaked in theme and attention to detail!! So fun... thanks y'all! <3
Hey, I just picked this up with the Play for Peace bundle and was wondering if there is any plans for a Linux native version? I’ll get it to work with Proton, cuz this is just too cool to not use now, but a Linux version would be awesome.
did you get it to work on linux??? i tried wine and various types of proton and nothing worked. super disappointing because i want to use this super bad :(
I haven’t tried yet. After looking into what our options are outside of Steam these days (haven’t used Lutris since the early days of Linux gaming) and realizing not much has changed, I’m just going to add it to my Steam library as a non-Steam game. Is that what you did?
I’ll let you know if I find a Proton version and launch options that work for me.
that worked!!! i was trying to use both lutris and heroic game launcher before (since i prefer their uis) using ge proton, but just base level steam proton 9 worked perfectly. thank you again :)
Electric Zine Maker - MAC - Fix for dictation opening when you press ‘d’, emoji shortcut opening when you press ‘e’
For Emoji window problem:
Open ‘System Settings’ > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts
Press ‘+’ at the bottom.
Click on the right of ‘Menu Title’ and type in “Emoji & Symbols” exactly.
Click ‘Keyboard Shortcut’ box and type in a shortcut combination you will never use, eg, CTRL+CMND+SHIFT+*, as long as you won’t accidentally click it.
To do the same for dictation, press ‘+’ sign again at the bottom.
Type in ‘Start Dictation…’ (the three dots are mandatory!).
Click ‘Keyboard Shortcut’ box and type another impossible shortcut, eg, CTRL + COMMAND + SHIFT + /.
Press Done.
Go forth and make zines!
Please share this far and wide! If someone could share this on the github Electric Zine Maker page that would be great too.
It's only been recently since I got interested in making zines, so discovering EZM has been a boon! Thank you so much for making it! I'm excited to make more zines with this :D!!!
Hi there, I've just begun using this (it's great!) - I was wondering, is there any easy way to rearrange pages? Without dragging and dropping from your computer's files?
I'm another mac user with the key issue. Just typing in the text box and E brings up the emoji selector, f selects the "window" option in the Mac menu bar, d turns on dictation. I can't get f to work even using the command key, which works with d and e as a work around but isn't very practical really.

LITERALLY THE BEST THING ON ITCH.IO... thankyou 4 creating this. zine making is such a lovely art & you really changed the game with this, thankyou <3 obsessed with making zines!!!
I downloaded this bypassing the payment and quickly realized just how dope it was. I had to come back and throw cheddar at you, thanks for this! Im starting a small zine meet in my tiny town in NC and can't wait to share this with the folks. GREAT WORK!
Love it. Been playing with it all night instead of doing invoices. 2 feature requests: more pages! I'd like to see a return to longer form zines up to 64 pages would be epic. Also, a text box feature where you can place linked text boxes on multiple pages and have the text you write or cutand paste expand over them. Like the old Microsoft Publisher did.
Made another little zine using this!! :D Can't stress enough how much I feel like the program itself inspires a unique workflow. Love using it to make backgrounds especially... Hopefully going to use it to help compile some bigger zines soon :)
absolutely love this program. so fricken cool. My own gripe is not being able to edit text after clicking away (commitment issues) and that the export def makes the file blurry text. but this is so much fun, spent hours playing around!

Hey, it started up immediately from Steam after changing Proton version from Experimental to 9.0-4.
i used external stuff, i'll try using 9! thank you!

this is so fun! i made a little comic about one of my characters dying their hair in it :3 (here)

THANK YOU SO MUCH, this issue was plaguing me for so long I'm so happy to be able to finally use this awesome program
took me a bit to get the hang of it, but this was a lot of fun tbh. Couldn't ask for a better first experience making a zine
I really love this zine maker, it invites experimentation and helps cure my perfectionism. The tools are super fun to mess around with! <3
why is there a fish that dies whenever it touches something
climate change
how do people make these game pages

this woke shit from itch.io really needs to stop. ice owns you.
I cant tell if this is satire or not lol
Seeing as how most of his prior posts are on gooner games, he's probably being serious.
I'm sorry you're so lonely dude.
im sorry you need to get foreign slaves instead of getting a job.
What an odd and specifically uninformed retort.

I got this in the Gaza bundle - never though about making a zine before but I stayed up late last night making this: https://metascrawl.itch.io/the-end-of-the-day
Nifty little tool. Thank you very much!
Just made my first ever zine with it! already thinking of ideas for my second, thank you!
thank you so much for this!
