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.

Quoting TDJThe scroller was about the irony of people having no clue what a demo actually is organizing a compo like this ;)
Well, since I couldn't read the scroller, I'll take your word for it. Subtle sarcasm sure helps drive home the point. :) I'm sure you can do a better job doing this kind of thing; I think you've just volunteered yourself to do the 2005 C64 Demo of the Year honors! :)
Anyway, enough barbs aside... Onwards to ballotting! So far, a good start!
Enjoy.

Feh. I think I've proven myself more than enough, both as an active (coder) and a passive (reviewer) part of the demo scene. But yes, I could do a much better job, because at least I know a decent demo when I see one ;)
Edit: but what the hell, gotta give credit where credit is due: at least you're trying. |

Can you put all stuff from 2004 into one archive with selected categories (4kb intros, demos...)? |

Hello.
For those that are asking about d/l links, I don't know about that. It might be asking too much from Perff into coding such a feature onto the voting chart.
As for greating a giant 2004 C64 Demo archive, the idea sounds great! But, after having gone through 100+ demos in a short span of few days, this is a big task! Often times, demos came in .d64's that had 'customized' directories. Then it gotta be sorted out according to 4K intro, dentro, etc. Sorry, but I'm not volunteering. :(
When you do click on a demo name in the voting chart, a seperate window pops up. Taking a gander in the screenshot usually tells volumes about how good it is, whether it is 'download-worthy', etc. The user comments are also very revealing. All of this information should help in determining your picks for the pre-screening process.
Enjoy.

I won´t ask for that much.
It would be cool though to simply have 1 dl-link which contains all the demos.
Just put all entries in 1 zip-file.
I reckon you have all the demos,that is..
Thanx for doing this btw. 8)
Must be quite some work. |

It was hard, it was tiresome and really pushed me to the limit - but I made it. I cast my vote. Like any responsible CSDB citizen should do. No, really, stop that applause! ;-) |

Where can I post a single zip-file with all demo's ?
I've downloaded all the demo's listed, extracted them from party-disks when necessary, I only have to check their names so they'll appear in the zip-file with the same names as in the list.
Any suggestions where/how I should post the file?

Why not create a (temporary) entry here? Name it "Demo of the Year 2004 release pack" or something like that, then upload it. |

@Compyx: I guess the file you got is to big for normal upload here on CSDb. The limit is 1mb.
But you can mail the package to me (perff@c64scene.net), and I will put it up, and then a link can be made from the 'demo of the year'-page.
About the direct download link I can easily add the little disc-icon which can also be found on the list of releases at other places in CSDb. What do you say? :)
