Interview with skreamer
elph / CPU
Skrju this time made a very interesting job, no one hardly
expected from them such a lift. It was very interesting
communicate with skreamer, hope next time still see
kreestaj'ya, which until and could not get none
party.
Elf> Yesterday we were on your team
saw the demo, cause a lot of
positive feedback. On you
here is the code has been completely?
skreamer> Yes.
Elf> kreestaj did the graphics and
D-Jooz sent you the music written, as I understood, long ago.
skreamer> Yes.
Elf> This is generally the third deme from
you?
skreamer> Well, it turns out that this
the third deme, in which I
participate as a coder, it turns out.
Yes. Not even the third, and 4-I, if we assume that there was
still a deme, Quarantine. But she's under the label zarelizhena
Jumble, not important in general.
Elf> By the way, the label, as I
understood, no longer exists. He
was created exclusively for
this demos?
skreamer> Yes.
Elf> Well, I think so.
skreamer> I even can tell you
tell the story of this label.
Ie We both sat with Survivor'om
at his home, so we had
deme, and so we decided - but come on,
there - purely for ponta, perhaps,
come up with any name, well, that was lovely. Well,
and not to write that people from different groups, then,
behold, gathered here, in general, have come up with a name.
Here, only DeMouy underneath unreleased and there was nothing
else.
Elf> clear. To me, that's interesting,
at the expense of LoveMaker. Few,
Actually, know that you are in LoveMaker really expressed their
feelings. Ie that not just come to mind, and you're just their
feelings expressed in his
Deme.
skreamer> Yes, it is. ;-)
Elf> And SummerMilk is your deepest feelings, well, that is, do
you like the text was received?
skreamer> A pro SummerMilk I
tell. Hence, all probably
know that we are engaged in so-called kreestaj'em litas. Ie
write lites. Well, we're in a group, Varga said. We are there
too, write lites. And, hence, once wrote kreestaj lit, it was
called "Summer's milk". Here, he wrote it of course, in
Russian. And, therefore, when we sat and discussed DeMouy
on IRC, well, we had almost
chatted on IRC last days before the party, ie were so, not
I know a couple of weeks, at night, sat, and all discussed how
it should look like. Well, in general,
we deliberated and came to the decision that we must take this
literature, and translate it into English, there
Add some chips, well, that are unique to the English language
well, and that will be specific to the demos. I have translated
this text is in English, something that added something
removed, and in Actually, this happens so
text.
Elf> Well, actually, I feel pretty good.
skreamer> Yes, thank you.
Elf> A kreestaj saw the final
The result? As far as I know, he
now in Pskov ...
skreamer> Yes, kreestaj seen
Of course, the result, because it
just at a time when I finished demo, went back in Novgorod.
When he was in Novgorod, in this
time, I sent him on a soap DeMouy
this, and he looked at her there.
Cool all, he is very happy, and I
very pleased.
Elf> And, well. And for Jaundice where you had the text?
skreamer> Oh, here for Jaundice
was generally ... Jaundice is already
separate story, it just
will be interesting. Well, in general,
text it was written purely for
to score an empty space, which could not score effects. That
is, that like I did everything effects, which could, he wrote,
everything is so parted, and that the effects do not look
protracted between them had something to post, and it somehow ..
Elf> Maybe here and Animation
such an attribute, appeared to
like it or not, or whether it was originally
was?
skreamer> attribute animation
was originally. We have Glazov
Another guy is,
Psychotron. Here, nA CAFe, from him
the picture was exhibited. Ie He is also a Bezbashenny man, he
Backstage, as such, is not interested. His rushing, he sits
behind a computer and paints. He was not rushing - he walks,
drinking, that he wanted to do. He 18
years old, he lives alone in a 3-room
flat, ie Now, the complex had
standing there. So, behold, he did
a fan draws these pictures, I
kill them all. On them. Ie
He paints a realistic screenshots
of the games, which had never been, and
will not, I guess.
Elf> Just what in his mind there?
skreamer> Yes. Fantasies so much,
there at all ... And if we had
made the game perfect, I guess.
We could do a lot. Well,
we've been doing a lot with him.
Elf> I remember, in my opinion, demos were.
skreamer> Yeah, yeah, yeah. There were demos, but since all
demos and over. He, however, one
the time of his rushing, he draws all
comes up, comes up with, but
One moment he is
all bored ...
Elf> of purpose is not enough ...
skreamer> Ie he always wants something new. He invents an idea,
starts her develop. And yet, it stops
him to be interesting. So here
such temporal overrun happen, and he draws pictures, most of
which screenshots of the games, and ... Well, it is also
such a unique style can
even be a cartoon. Here, I
I think fun to look at
these pictures. I'll talk to him,
maybe we will arrange it all, even in
the form of a slide show
ie it would be pretty original, I think.
Elf> A, and yet, so we do not agreement about the text that you
yourself, too he wrote in Jaundice?
skreamer> Yes, the text I Jaundice
wrote himself, ie I literally sat down:
so should the text be, I immediately
wrote, stroke, and nothing
corrected, did not change. As it is,
so there. But I think that in Jaundice there some kind of
concept own, but the strongest is
Still SummerMilk, I think.
Elf> Yes, I agree.
skreamer> When we did with kreestaj'em SummerMilk, we were
asked to show DeMouy with the design. I do not know, we
succeeded in it or not. But I think that was because it directly
before the demo compo, Diver there
looked at the demos
Spectrum'e, ie go-no go, well,
tested their performance. AND
When Diver came out and said:
"Skreamer, yes you are cool, well done!" I did not at first
believe it, thought it was someone makes fun, like, but just
Diver'u liked it. And I still believe
Diver'a that opinion - it's pretty
authoritative opinion. He did not
the first who saw this DeMouy, but he
the first who praised her highly. And then, when shown in the
hall applauded - I realized - Yes, well, do not bother to
wonder.
Elf> Actually it is, it
stands out for its originality. While it may be somewhere
on other platforms, it would not be so original, but
Spectrum'e this has exactly one
did not.
skreamer> Just now I
while also watching the demo
Backstage at other platforms, ie
on the pc, on the Commodore 64, and notice that all of these
platforms one time have come to such a situation well, from a
technical point of view, the ceiling was made by some groups.
And how would yield out of this impasse, it seems to me
had to invent for
We introduce an idea that it was
not just a set of effects, but to
it was some kind of ideological, self-sufficient, a complete
thing. And it must have not only completed the ideological
theme, I I think that in the first place
should look. Really. Ie
if dem a design, then this deme failure will never happen.
Elf> Yes, yes, yes, I agree. Well,
Overall, the future plans do you have?
Already have in mind ideas about
next job?
skreamer> Yes, I have a lot of
More about these zadumok
works, even very much, even for
We shall forward a few. But, here, in
Specifically, you already know I want to
say, what shall we do with DeMouy
you, in co-operation, here. I
Chasm, Miguel, and even possible
join us Diver Ie
it will be a deme three teams
in general. Let's see what this
succeed. Well, deme will also be
ideological and conceptual.
Elf> And for you who SummerMilk
assisted in the code? As far as I
I know, CyberJack?
skreamer> Yes, I'll explain.
To begin with, that SummerMilk
track, who wrote the D-Jooz,
He played in second gear.
As we know, the original protracker'ovsky player, he is music
second speed is not lost.
That is, initially as if I decided
to elect a head-fake method
here, but I was then all zafachili,
said it was wrong, the music breaks down, and do so. And,
JTN means of 4D threw a piece of
source code, and said: "Here, try pleit music is." Of course
tried - is even worse.
Wrote to him: "Vaska, incorrectly played." He scratched his
reputation, he thought, and sent through a few days again:
"That's should work. "Listen, all played perfectly, almost like
in Protracker'e. Ie Now, well, it's
All credit JTN of 4D. Yet, in
writing process took
part of CyberJack Triebkraft, he sent his 3D
engine that is used in
Deme Harm. Just at this time, I
wrote a 3D engine for the sole
demos. And I decided that would be Deme
use the engine that I wrote. Because he's like
again satisfies all the requirements of demos, and secondly I'm
in it more apart, and the third, then to not say - I kicked
effects there. I CyberJack'a badly want to thank.
Elf> Thanks, it was interesting to learn more.
