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.

Eh .. why bother mentioning all those demos that don't stand a chance of winning anyway? Scraping the bottom a bit, aren't we?

(And yes, that includes 'my own' Primary Scar)

Hello.

Hate to throw cold water on this discussion, but the TDJ is correct. Basically, what I'm doing now is going through all 111 C64 demos that were released during the 2004 year according to the Search function at CSDb.

A lot of them, as you can imagine, don't pass muster. However, there are some C64 demos that do show some hint of promise, so I put them on a 'second' list. This is what I'm doing now; I have thirty more C64 demos to go through before I arrive at the second list.

From this second list, I watch all C64 demos again and make more careful analysis, viewing, judging, etc. At this stage, I will eliminate more C64 demo entries, most likely those demos that TDJ alluded to, 'scraping' the bottom of the barrel. Hopefully by the time I'm done, I will have ten such entries for the 2004 C64 Demo of the Year voting chart.

Enjoy!

Eyeth: A bit late in replying, but in regards to that preview. It was a release. Just like anything else thats half decent, we will release it. :)

Real cracking died ages ago, because software developers are too lazy or don't have the knowledge to insert proper protections. Can't blame the crackers on that.

I don't see why Postcards from Stockholm and UltraGUI wouldn't be on the "primary" list. They both ranked better at LCP than two other entries on your list (Borderline and HT's Goa Brudbilder).

Besides, "Postcards from Stockholm" is a damned cool demo. The highlight from LCP (IMO, and the usual disclaimers)
