X2016 Competitions: Your Input Wanted!
The 28th of october is still far away but getting closer and closer. The organizers have been getting busy and are now well underway to get everything sorted out for another smashing X!
Since entry delivery and running the compos at X14 went quite smooth and voting is now done in realtime, we believe we may have room for 1 or 2 more (small/fun) c64 competitions. Like a PETSCII compo or a 4k compo, or maybe you guys have an idea?
Or perhaps you think the straightforward demo/music/gfx compos are enough.
Let us know :) |

Quote: A " just for emulators" without limits compo?
After all, emulators are part of nowadays scene...
save it for a party with a wild compo...
(besides, emulators aren't necessarily part of the scene any more than web browsers or IRC clients are. what the fuck are you smoking? :D) |

(without browsers or IRC clients, 99% of us would not be part of -the scene- now. And then, with that sort of nickname you have, how do you talk about stuff to smoke? =D =D =D ;) ) |

Quote: I would suggest a 16K demo compo
1. Enjoyable demo parts such as in DOTY
2. Easy entry level for many demo creators that has no mega demo but still has some smaller stuff to show at X.
3. with 16K you can have propper Gfx and Music.
4. I bet this would attract a lot of entries which would be the main purpose of a compo!
just my 2 cen(t)sors ;)
A normal (202 blocks) onefile demo is a lot more entry level. Needs less optimisations. And has room for even cooler graphics and music. |

A technical thought regarding PESCII compo:
Would you allow ECM mode (64 chosen PETSCII chars aka custom but still system based charset) to qualify as valid compo entry?
I think that could be really cool, more colors plus being able to mix upper and lower case chars together.
Thoughts? |

actually they do, more or less - PETSCII is the set of control codes and characters available for commodore text terminals. |

As if graphic artists using plain PETSCII care about terminals and black backgrounds. Personally I'd allow it, just for the sake of creativity. |

Personally I don't think 16K or 4K is any point, since we already ARE running on a low-end computer :-). However I think a separation between one-filer and multiload-demos is a good idea. There are already a lot of entries to X, and perhaps this will increase the number of demos in total?
On the more crazy side, perhaps a wild-compo could be arranged, but with the restriction that the hardware (C64-based) should be provided (if customized) and the demo/effect shown in realtime (i.e. no pre-recording). Think about it: several C64's running in sync, huge amount of SIDs, custom target driven by 6502 etc. Just a thought.
edit: and please - no bodypainting compo, at least provide out-of-scene models ;-).. |
