News from Brest

ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»

From Slavka Kalinin To All 29 May 2001


Somewhere on 05/28/01 around 00:54:41
Oleg Melinuk tapped on the keyboard to a certain Pawel Kislyak,
about News from Brest ...

PK>> 05/26/2001> The 11th issue of the Brest newspaper Impulse has been published in its entirety
PK>> dedicated to the Millennium that took place in Minsk Demoparty. While
PK>> is only available in HTML form, Delta promises to release the Spectrum version
PK>> within a month...

OM> Maybe more, depending on my mood :) Maybe I won’t do it on the Spectrum at all,
OM> but just
OM> I’ll throw it in the echo and that’s it...

PK>> The number turned out to be somewhat gloomy

OM> Oh, why be happy at a funeral?

PK>> From the words of Delt's Spectrum in Brest has been dead for several years.

PK>> quote: “Everything that Realsoft does in the person of Pawel can be called
PK>> necrophilia, violence against a decomposed corpse.”

PK>> Maybe it is so, it’s hard to just abandon the computer into which you put
PK>> so much work.

OM> I can draw a parallel... For example, your dog died. This means that
OM> you
OM> should put it on the rug and look at it?

OM> Even if you loved it before, you still have to bury it in the ground someday and
OM> you will have to...

OM> Estimate the volume of software released in a year... Remember how 5 years ago
OM> something new came every time10-20 discs per month. Now this number even
OM> probably
OM> will not be accumulated in a year.
Strangely enough, it is gaining, I can just judge about it
as I regularly supply all new software to the seller
on our market.

On this point. Bye, Oleg!

OM>> Remember how 5 years ago 10-20
OM>> new discs arrived every month. Now this number probably won’t even be collected in a year.
SK> Oddly enough, it’s growing, I can just judge about it
SK> since I regularly supply all new software to the seller
SK> on our market.
Look at things a little differently, maybe 10-20 disks are collected in a year
but we shouldn’t forget about such an important detail as WHAT’S on these 90% of the recorded disks are demos and various system software, 9% are all sorts of releases of old toys, and 1% are new toys. I warn you right away that these numbers are taken almost from the bullshit, but I think I’m not far from the truth. In no case am I going to prove that the machine is dead, as long as something is being done on it it is alive
and all the talk about this imho will lead nowhere. So let's call it a day.


Sincerely, Andrey Isaev.

Is this Isaev from Moscow? The one that Kano?...

No, I don’t record demos and releases of old games, but discs
in fact it turns out to be at least 20 (I roughly
counted it in my head).

That’s it. Bye, Andrey!

From Pawel Kislyak To All 3 June 2001

Hello, Alex!

Alex Welikanov ==========> Pawel Kislyak:

AW> The Galaxy client on the ZX cannot be implemented in its original form.

Why do you think so? Of course, trying to play with such a client
in games of 100 players is useless (the report just won’t fit on a
TRD disk), but in regular games of 15-40 players
no problem.

AW> So it’s not about Galaxy, but in principle, right?
AW> The PBEM principle can be applied on a weak platform,
AW> but the matter is interesting.

It’s better to make a Galaxy client than to try invent something of your own.

Bye!

Hello, Grigory!

RP>> Scream #1?
GK> The magazine in terms of design is bombish, but in terms of information Crow #5 is IMHO better.
Crow is already the _fifth_ issue. And Scream is just the _first_. The first experience is not always the best. If the authors do not lower the bar, we will get a magnificent stage magazine. I'm going to support the Scream authors with everything I can.
