Demo of the Year

Hello.

I'm surprised this idea hasn't been floated around. In the past two years, we have had C64.SK and CSDb ramping up with up to date information on demo releases throughout the year.

Why not have a Demo of the Year voting in Jan. 2004 for demos that were released throughout 2003? Thanks to C64.SK, we know whose demo entries won various competitions, which ones were released, etc. Why not compile a list of demos that won their respective demo party/competition, plus maybe an open invitation to a demo or two to round up the list?

CSDb or some other forum could then host the list and have a voting function for the C64 demo scene in choosing the Demo of the Year 2003. This would be a nice honor and one that is finally made possible thanks to reliable sources like CSDb and C64.SK. I'd like to write about the winning demo entry in a printed Commodore publication as well. :)

Any thoughts? Ideas?

Enjoy.

Hello.

Thanks to last minute voting activity, the 2003 C64 Demo of the Year is completed! A total of 64 people participated in this voting chart activity, making it unofficial and not definitive. There are a lot of good quality demos released throughout the 2003 year, making for a close ballotting.

I'd like to give thanks to Perff and Noname crew for hosting the voting chart! Without further ado, here's the top five:

1) Industrial Breakdown by Booze Design - 72 points
18 1st place, 7 2nd place & 4 3rd place votes
2) Loaded by Fairlight- 62 points
9 1st place, 14 2nd place & 7 3rd place votes
3) Fall-Out by Smash Designs - 31 points
4 1st place, 6 2nd place & 7 3rd place votes
4) Emanation Machine by Fairlight - 28 points
4 1st place, 4 2nd place & 8 3rd place votes
5) Beertime III by Dekadence - 22 points
3 1st place, 3 2nd place & 7 3rd place votes

4 demo entries on the voting chart did not receive any votes, unfortunately. They are:

00101010 by Creators
Galowarm by TRSI
Pero by Singular
Rasta by Creators

All other demo entries have received votes. Thanks to the discussions in this forum, voter activity and the strength/quality of C64 demos, I will strive to make for a better voting experience in future C64 Demo of the Year competitions. Anyone up for Cycle by Booze Design as the 'winner' of the 2004 C64 Demo of the Year? :)

Many thanks to all people who have contributed and created these fine C64 demos throughout the 2003 year. It has been a good year and I look forward to many more of the same, receiving a lot of good CBM demos!

Enjoy.

Hello, it's me again. :)

I would like to set up another voting chart, for the 2004 C64 Demo of the Year. However, I'd like to name ten entries and not necessarily name compo winners like I did the first time around.

So, I'm looking for some editorial guidance and assistance in fleshing out the voting chart. I have already decided that 'Cycle' will be in the chart, but what else? I'll try to investigate 2004 demos myself and try to fill it out the best I can, anyway.

Thanks in advance for whatever ideas, suggestions, etc. you may float this way!

Enjoy.

Hello.

Hate to follow up on my own posting. :) I wonder if there is a 'sponsoring' diskmag or papermag for the 2004 C64 Demo of the Year and perhaps sharing of some editorial duties? I originally did the 2003 C64 Demo of the Year for the UCUGA Digest, a C64 paper newsletter, but that publication is no longer around.

Thanks,

I'm already working on something similair - The Dark Court 2004 special. Ofcourse that one isn't open for other people's opinions, so I'm kinda curious to see how much the total results will differ.

I can tell you this though: for me there are only so-called 'GEMs' (let's say scoring 8 or higher) in 2004. It was not a good year.

Darwin? For real?

Still missing 2 of my top 5.

Edit: and only now I notice that I didn't say there were just 5 gems ..
