Event id #3294 : X-2024
I was having a discussion with a few guys over beers in X'2023 and the compos. I was telling about my days as OR8 pilot in the RC world where we had junior, hobby and pro categories for the races.
To make it abit more motivational the people/groups who aren't 20 members strong each with 30+ years of demo coding experience it might be worth while considering other options ?
eg. some of the ideas we discussed:
. Having a pro (ie previous winner category) and hobby section so that contributors are compared to peers of similar experience
. Splitting the voting/ranking for 1 filers from multi disk entries
. Newcomer award for those individuals or teams who never submitted to X before |

Quote: The Fairlight demo looked really something.
I liked the tune that plays at the end, by Danko.
Loved all the red & white text over images, and the images themselves. The theme/story worked really well.
Does the demo have enough to make it into the CSDb Top 10 ?
You need to come to the next one mate, watching is one thing, but actually being their is a whole new level.
big thanks to the organisers for an amazing weekend and to everyone i spoke to .. you all made it what it was. |

Quote: After watching FG and FLT productions or Reflex 4k I'd argue there's still a lot room for fresh codeporn and 'how TF did they do' moments <3
Speaking of code porn, I've tried to explain how the effects in Layers work here Release id #242834 : Layers |

Was it my imagination, or did the snake oil salesman say his 35 euro (that are 6 euro including postage from Ali express) hoodies are Official Commodore Merch ? |

He went on later to to the home compute museum and was offloading them there too. I wanted to tell the fella buying that he can get 5 for the same price in 8 days direct from China :P |

I also want to chime in with highest praise for the organizers of the bestestestest demo party in the world [... as I know it :-)]! Thank you very, very much.
RL has been really hard and stressful for me this year so far and it was so great to have that little "oasis" of beautiful people. As usual: I hope I didn't stand to much in the way – didn't get on too many nerves with my, well kind of "outgoing" / "maniac" attitude :-)
I'm not sure why I found myself wrestling with MacX that one evening – I felt it was because we both may like some kind of "rough fun" from time to time – and I hope he also sees it that way.
Anyway: I find it so sad, that the "X every year" experiment was a "failure" from the organizers perspective. I'd really love to meet you all every year. But I do unterstand that not everyone has X "around the corner" like I have and tbh. if I had to pay the same amount or more for getting there like for the entry I also wouldn't have been able to make it this year.
Thank you to all you lovely people, for your kind words. It was a blast talking to everyone I talked to.
As I already wrote in the slide at the music compo:
Love, Peace and Krawall :-) |
