DISCUSSION --==< DEMO AND MEGADEMO >==-- 03
In various computer magazines have repeatedly was got spores on
the topic "Who needs Demo'Megademo?". At Abigor bbs had a
conversation on this topic. First statement:
From IVAN:
I'm just tired of looking foolish different work called proudly
MEGADEMO.I so let's discuss: What reasons are there for their
writing? In my opinion, there are only three reasons for DEM
registration: Show features new igry.Oprobovat the ability to
create some special effects. Practice coding.
From BROM:
I think the demo / game, system / need in two situations:
When ready just blank, it is necessary in order to find out
opinions and suggestions to the program. When the game is fully
ready, that would be pumped to programme.A actually produced
Demko, and games can only wait a year or half a year, and some
even abandoned. And now, on account MEGADEM. It is generally a
bad job. Instead of creating great toys, all sundry stamp
MEGADEMY. Well, I understand, they want to show a cool effect.
Why, for example, do not insert it into the intros its future
games. In general, time spent viewing MEGADEMY, lost
zrya.Prodolzhaya topic, I want to ask: "What gives simple USER
's what - that MEGADEMA?. "Personally, I generally can not to
see these stupid running lines, which either carry both crazy,
that nothing can be read, or trudge slowly. And not only are
there write such nonsense that the brains of climbing out of
his ears.
From Lama:
Moe opinion on this issue - yes, needed. Why? Bring reasons:
Coder can show their skills through the creation of various
special effects. Immediately raises the question - "Could be
better than its ability to create a kind of game?. "Yes of
course. But" Some people are just too lazy to start that great
either. Some may want to do something similar, but they do not
have good ideas and subjects. MEGADEMO - this is a very good
example to demonstrate opportunities for such a small, home
computer as SPECCY. A simple USER'a (not everyone), looked a
good, quality DEM'u, sooner or later there is a desire to write
at least chtoto like. Consequently, he begins to learn
assembler. And then, that of the 10 USER'ov, even 2 people,
more or less study it - It is not enough.
From GIVer:
Well I Do not Know that pushes some to the creation / cloning
rather / MEGADEM everyone there. I personally, in his time
watching the like a bunch of mediocre products / in which a lot
of Tyrin music and lots of all different scroll'ov creeping,
with silly lyrics and / Why then must the English ...? I guess
the guys were hoping for international recognition ... / I
prefer not to buy CDs MEGADEMAMI and have only those hucksters
slip in the slot assembly / nothing better to extra toy stuck /
and more recently Time MEGADEMKI those who for various reasons,
are exposed on the server ...
From Tankard:
Since I am already here to be near, it also decided to express
their opinion on this burning issue. So, besides the
aforementioned: Writing of the effects is an excellent school
programming. What difference does that move on the screen - a
ball or a sprite with the image of something or someone;
Writing effects gives vozmozhmost learn all the details of the
processor / try to write a multicolor, or scroller on border'u
- very polezmoe occupation immediately disappear questions
about braking programs /; When their daily work has always
collected various developments that if they wanted it would be
difficult to find applications in any game of, general, writing
games - employment rather boring and tedious, in contrast to
demuh, I'm telling you as an accountant, wrote a game coder,
faced with its sales, which in the case of Belarus pretty big
problem. / I know whether to do More New game after a
Technodrom no more then $ 25 does not give / and all who ever
tried to do that either in the field demomaker'stva, at that
unlikely to be Questions arise, such discussion is like a drug,
and Recently, the best demomaker'y can always make a good game,
but gamemaker'am write a good demo can not do. Incidentally,
many foreign manufacturers of games currently gaining people at
different gathering'ah. Here's how it was.
WW:
That such views. Apparently, the debate is not over yet and
we will not again return to it. I will allow myself a few
comments. First, we should not interfere with a bunch of Demo
and Megademo it two totally different things. Demo - a
necessary thing in any case. If the authors are releasing them,
then they are what we hope and they do not / usually / fault
that their labor is not willing to appreciate how financially
and morally. We have seen a lot of excellent Demo-versions of
games that have remained demami. Though there are Demo, which
are made simply on such a primitive level, is simply
embarrassing to watch / like Demo version of Dune Spectrofon'a,
a feeling that the game was written on Basic'e, and noise have
done .../. Now about being wanted Megadem Here single opinion
will never happen. Someone loves them, some one there. You can
say one thing, if Megademo done a really high level, with very
beautiful and unusual effects and without primitive messagov
and Hello'z fathers and mothers, it is quite deserves
attention. I am not a fan of the Demo-structure, but
downloading recently Fatality bbs "TRASHe" Megademo / I took
her for a new game / I was really impressed by the effects of
coolness and Harmony graphics and script with music.
While this is all if you're with than disagree, let's continue.
Write, call, your vote will not leave unattended.
