An interview with
B. Mednonogovym taken after ENLiGHT'a.
ZF> What is the overall impression
E'97?
VM> In the most general terms - like it.
Not so good was that the people have gathered so much that many
are simply not able to communicate. Probably gone resentful
that itself is not shown.
ZF> How do you think should be done
to the next ENLiGHT was better?
VM> Split on the platforms. Conduct,
For example, Spectrum - separately.
ZF> Were you able to see something inspiring?
VM> Sure. There was a lot of new effects. After E'96 one would
have thought that already reached the limit of capacity, but
and this time was something to wonder.
ZF> On E'97 Peters'y showed its new PC - Sprinter. What do you
think about it prospects?
BM> I think is a good thing. After all, under a still stone
gathers no moss. Well, that someone is seriously engaged in a
new computer.
ZF> Do not keep it going myself
Soft'om?
VM> As I said - I will be under him
write only when there is a lot of cars.
ZF> What are the prospects for the Spectrum in the future?
BM> I think that will live a very long time.
ZF> What you need to present situation improved?
VM> must respect the law of copyright
Rights. Simply - everything will be fine,
where users will pay for the program authors.
ZF> Last time, there are many
Spectrum'ovskih grids. How do you treat them?
BM> I think this is a great force.
ZF> But on the grid often chase
broken by the program authors. What do you think about this
aspect?
VM> Of course, it's bad. But anyway - I
believe that the network is a good support
Spectrum.
ZF> We all know that now you're working
on his new game "Black Crow".
How many more people involved in the project
this time?
VM> It so happens that right now everything except the 10-and
inter-level images, I did himself.
ZF> Will there be support for GS in Black Raven?
VM> Probably not.
ZF> But for what reasons would not be?
VM> Mostly for personal reasons -
We could not agree with X-Trade, that they have prepared
procedures for sound registration under the GS.
ZF> In what state is now "The Raven"?
VM> All levels are ready, all the scenes skonvercheny.
Currently there are no protection. I'm now beta-testing,.
ZF> How difficult to get a game?
VM> It is complicated dynamics. Will
very little time to think about strategy.
ZF> What are your future plans?
VM> "The Raven" is designed so that the second
disk is independent from the first, which allows
make new levels. So, perhaps,
will be 1.2 disk with new missions. And in
future - is expected to "Black Crow-2.
More progressive, with the ships and the like. Under the rules
of War Craft-2. And most total - just under 256 Kb.
ZF> You have a home PC. Does he work on CH.V.?
VM> Sure. Almost 99% of
done on it. This painting, converting, assembly.
ZF> Some people believe that whoever uses for Spectrum'ovskogo
big computer software (IBM, Amiga and
etc.) has an advantage over not having such equipment. Is that
true?
VM> Yes. Remember - before it was written that
Spectrum games written in large machines. It is true, then we
have forgotten about it.
ZF> A is not gonna do you start writing
Games for the PC?
VM> going. I'll start experimenting
when I've finished "The Raven".
ZF> The scheduled release date of the Black Raven?
VM> 6 November.
