(C) Ars
WW> Oh! Senya wrong to use my copyright (I'm on Sorrow
news:)).
Ars> Do not worry. I'll leave it to you to remember. ;)
Two events of the year already happened. Gone demopati in the
Czech Republic and Russia. And were successful. Until all the
work Doxycon'a not made public, I can not give an overall
assessment, and give only a quick results according to AN
(although demo, took 1 st place, made an impression;).
DOXYCON'98. Demo compo:
1) Higher State / 3SC Software Commando (Slovakia)
2) Genetic Error / K3L Corp (Czechia)
3) Circlusions / Speccy Boyz (Slovakia)
4) The Last / Excellent Speccy Aces (Czechia)
5) Fear Zone / Naughty Crew (Chechia)
Results Funtop98 also did not take long to wait ;-). Absolute
sensation, and it is already possible to say exactly, was the
work VAV'a nomination 4K. Interestingly, in an interview in the
last issue Zhenya drew attention on the ability of VAV'a, so
that can be said to predict its success;). In general, these
effects and even on one track, no one on the Spectrum did not
see - a very awesome, especially in terms of coding. Interested
parties can even compile the source code of GOA, and make sure
it works:). Generally speaking, competition 4K expectations,
and work in this nominations are very interesting. Since they
have shown the possibility of Spectrum!
Digital Reality once again very pleased with quality demos.
One name gives us some optimism. And I was not quite believe
that it will be Forever:). Name it seemed simple, but painfully
expressive ... There are many ways to evaluate demos and
compare the slope coding, quality effects, the style, but When
the demo has a plot, meaning, and even makes you think, then it
is done not in vain, and it is higher than any estimates.
Confirmation of the exclusivity of dR was such prizanie
Oldman'a, known for his impartial stance in relation to
demomeykeram. Although, Binary Love, too, because the demo, so
to speak, philosophical meaning: what is love? Forever And
there are other eternal question: what is live? .. all and
comparing nothing.I these two works dR, I came to think
(forgive me for it, crazy :-) that just in this regard in
Binary Love took place very bright distracting faktor.To is,
vniimanie audience attracted bright "populist" moments, such
as: "Xirosima45, Chernobyl86, Windows95", etc. (Though probably
meant that hatred Microsoft is opposed to love for the Speccy)
... (WW: I would put in your place here smiley:).
But in general, the goal was achieved, these effects are
remembered, but the price of this storyline has become less
zametnoy.Vot and makes all the difference. And Forever - is not
it glavnoe.Po-at least in the version that he managed to
deliver on the FT98 jacked Flying; -]. But surprisingly,
despite the presence of a pool of blood (the picture just
class!), corpses, crosses, crucifixes, tombstones and so loved
WW ushers in robes ;)))), it looks very optimistic:) So
that perhaps when the rest of the demos will be completed yet,
the tomb asunder, and we learn, chto also grow on the spot
RIP'a;) I also want to say one comment about the idea, voiced
in the echo. "It is better that demo, in which more FROM
NEW-effects, which they (the effects) is more steep. "Actually,
that is correct, but it is suitable for nomination 4K or 16K
... (WW: I just want to insert one word: Already ...)
But not for full-dem. Since it speaks only of
superiority of coding, nothing more. 4K is a competition
koderov. Although ... Not for nothing intro dizzy_4k received
second place :-). The plot - a plot, it always causes a lot of
sympathy, in contrast to simple set of effects.
About the music compo, I say there is nothing I can not - just
yet have not listened to. But judging from the available
statements, nothing sensational. Yes, and did not listen to
anybody, they say: (. Jaan / PHT was not involved, Suha / dR,
Mic / PGS did not make the top three. Zhenya / 0 does not
score. Conditions were normal for listening in stereo:). About
skipnutyh and trimmed the work I do not kurse.Naschet statement
of work from Imp'a - too:). Gfx compo, too, was sluggish. And
I really thought ... Looked at the work Teeray'a even before it
started to spread all the other work. And was surprised to find
that the preliminary results He did not appear. Well, I think,
probably, the artists have risen;) When I saw "prize" of work -
was terribly surprised. Later, however, the results changed.
But still, in moymu, viewers were interested only demos: (Oh,
you had to run to the cause of the printing press, that is,
sorry, the printer;). Trying to hold a third vote:), also
failed, too few votes to count the results of objective ... I
would like to hear opinions of at least some professional in
graphics and I turned to Werewolves'u ... However, he held very
firmly and recognition he had pushed hard ..
WW> Yielding Arseny, and only, I decided to make a brief
review of schedules to participate in FunTop'e. For those who
still remembers me, in a sense, the artist. All of what I speak
- my personal view gfx'ra with experience, if someone touches
it - write letters to the Optron (there, I realized we "love"
:)))). So, in general, looking at all the work I was very
dissatisfied level. Like the court of the end of 1998, as well
as ... Dwell only a few works, which in one way or another have
caused I interes.S the first place "EXTREMELY?" I fully agree No
No doubt this is the best job. I was just fascinated how
abruptly imposed color (only for some hair-5ballov girls!).
Second-"PRAY!" I am a little posmeshilo. No, I do not argue,
all the cool drawn, but a glance at the balance of color, I am
a bit stunned, all ink'om one colored! Nowhere is the mixture
of color does not really obnaruzheno.Vot where a fully worked
out the rule: "If you are going to draw in tsvetesrazu get
attached to familiarity," saying David'a-like. But the level is
also good. About the third, "ALF" - will not say anything,
because no great surprises not found - just qualitatively and
with humor. With triple the prize, in principle, everything is
clear. By the way, laughing, I know it is called the first
results. Glancing at Polesse and Trass'u I almost died
laughing. Well, let's spray, who drew this is the most Polesse,
could still be misleading if further examination. But how
Trassa came in second place? Strangely, it was no Karp :-) (who
saw him, he will understand jokes). It surprised few points in
Parshav5 (girl with a somewhat unrealistic grin:)) - pretty
cool idea and the quality risovaniya.A here Voodoo impressed
me. Original course, I have not seen, but the white color on
the blue ... Sex pictures white spot, and ignorant audience,
not at all clear: "What's wrong with him?" :). Very amused
picture Will ... So cool to draw ... WC, you should be able, or
rather, have desire:) Cool! From the qualitative work, yet I
want to note: Starin '(the sun struck me!), Forever (the idea
of the quality and ... Heaven!) And Element_3 (very, very
carefully drawn, it is strange that such a low place). All the
rest, in general, cause a smile. For example an attempt to
redraw the poster Queen'a. I did not realize that what is
sticking up - his hand:). MIB - all cool. Forgot the name of
the disease, when the head is longer than the body:)). By the
way, though threatened to ban konverchenuyu schedule - she's
the same is present. Even kill, but nastropat thousand points
of discord, so that they are also something to show ... Art
studio, for purposes such tricky tool:). By the way, there
work, where 90% can be sure that, unlike their lazy:)
colleagues, the guys still bother to hide the treacherous
points and manually brought the image to mind. Well, if I
mistaken:). (Ars: And I have pinned a picture of Sweden - there
on the packaging "vodka" written;))
An angry reader (or, even, the authors upomyanytyh my work)
must now ask the question: "Where's your work, the critic
fuck?" :). Yes, here, alas, we are not lucky (we do - me and
Mast'y), Senya not had time to register in time my image and
Mast'ov Mouzon ... However, the picture (who drew a half years
ago, More on Enlight:) you've seen before uploading RIP'a, and
the music? (Ars: Written for a FlashBack) plays and delights
your ears seychas.Tsenite you now ... Ars> For ftl.da.ru this
is not news ... The best course ahead?
Now a few words about the unpleasant things in the FT98.
Several works in all categories, including one demo, reached
only to the registration department, but the competition was
not hit. However, almost all of this is the fault of the
participants had not fulfilled the conditions competitive
registration of applications. In this respect, Front was
principled and steadfast, and to cope with the crowd, suddenly
coming to his senses, the contestants' was not easy.
Nevertheless, as it turned out, after the announcement of the
results, some of the rules was still breached, for example,
registration gfx and music works "without departing from the
Qassam, the nomination of several works by one author,
participated in Competition works without notifying their
authors), but it is just details. In general, computer art
festival was a success, and summarizing, we can say the truth:
a good Funtop was better bad Enlight'a ;-). Thanks again to the
organizers and we hope that will FT99. But where? Xodyat rumors
in Minsk. Ars> I must say about etom Mast'u - he would be
delighted;))) WW> Do you think he let so many people back
home? :) Ars> How much? :)
Anyway, the party will still be a New Year! Grodno, prepare
;*))).
From local news, I will only say the completion of "martial":)
works in KVA (Lara 1.80-rulez), with which it and
congratulations;) and departure queues in Russia (hello city
Ola!;)) Nicksoft'a. The result of these relocations is. Grodno
ppl stirred and zasobiralsya to visit us ;)...
WW> I had a dream the night as if I was sent on a business trip
to Grodno. And there I tried to call Tom'u that he gave me for
the night. But he did not raise his pipe! And just this morning
when I woke up, I remembered that he had no phone :)))). Ars>
In the next dream, go straight to his work, whoever you are,
and shelters;)))
Vosstanavlivaetsya geytovanie eh between cities. On this
occasion made in an Internet page with the yardstick of the
title "C-Net-area of the law!". Url until you give, it is
still able to upgrade:) But can someone, and so will 8-). Well,
again unattended organizer Fatality too slow, IMHO, with her,
damn it, projects! Here! :)
WW> Long Fatality not poilo me a beer ...
Ars> I wonder why? :)
The only positive thing, McMaker again to do music. So that
soon we might hear his work: "Throw drink-2!" WW> followed by
versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 ... :)
Finally, some more news from various sources. In
echo relcom.comp.speccy Igor Maznitsa put a proposal to search
for a sponsor to write a C-compiler for the Spectrum (z80)
under Windows with all the twists.
Segrey Novikov (also known as Spirit / STEP, it is the same
Spirit / dR, it is Spirit / ATQ) has decided to return to
creative work and collects (Already assembled), a new team of
ATQ (Antique Crew). According Spirita Force will release a new
generation of releases as well the same will probably take a
writing demos. In this case, said organizer ATQ, will be
destroyed many stereotypes on many things. Concern Chaos in
the face Random'a announced the rules of Chaos Construction
party (in December 1998, Peter). As said Random, their demos
for the competition is prepared: PHT, DR, XTM and, possibly,
ETC. Disk imaging in Russian yet, but I translate broke, we
will wait ... Vyacheslav Mednonogov continues to collect the
second and Pentium CHV2 :))). Demo version has not yet
released, but judging from the available screens, the game will
be 3-dimensional (as UFO). Recent economic turmoil in Russia,
apparently will affect the price of the expected product People
did not ispukaesh price of 100 rubles per copy: (. By the way,
if I'm not mistaken, so is the distribution for the game "The
Wizard of Oz." But while the economy full stabilizets, should
not be far-reaching conclusions ... Generally speaking, the
topic of economic, sorry ass, became very populyarnoy and began
to discuss the place and not to mestu.Rynok Spectrum always
been poor people, and therefore, just scared if suddenly
decline in living standards made inaccessible to many things
spektrumistov. In this regard, it is interesting message from
dR that Megaball will be distributed freeware. V. Mednonogov
about it made estimates of expected economic losses because of
their dependence on the length of the output and profits $.
Formula disappointing; ~ (:
lim (T / $) = oo
$ - 0
The truth is only a hypothesis, not an axiom, so can someone
be able to deny it (so to speak to the contrary)? Tip:
And if as T-> 0)? Oh, remembered the school days 8-).
It is also interesting to recall, once went to a booze, opinion
producers of iron, the loss of which, as was correctly stated,
would lead to unfortunate consequences. Already felt lack of
professional repair and production hardware. So Here, S. Zonov
somehow, in a dispute o pricing policy, said such a thought
that when performing such sales in order not to die should be
guided by at least 100% pribyl.Voobschem, the situation remains
bleak. Finally, a little gossip. According to witnesses at the
FT Kano / RP made (by drunk probably) a loud statement is not
in favor Amiga, than so many hit.
Strange, but the message about marriage Maxi / CBS has put the
echo of an unhealthy excitement;) - instead of the expected
congratulations, all for some reason reached for the heavy
stuff:). Rumored to be invited to witness Kano, well,
apparently, is not without Vladimir'a Larkov'a and Rst7. Photos
newlyweds promise to throw in an echo:). In conclusion, we
note that the area remained zx.spectum law as it now is. Who
knows, closes Inet-geytovanie and RIP'a will be no more: (.
