scene activity
more and more i get the feeling that the my world (the scene) has become smaller and smaller. after a chat with the overkiller it was clear to me that the dutch scene isn't alive anymore and the italian scene either.
but what about the polish scene, the slovak scene and the german scene? how did the c64 survive through all the modern thinkings and technology?
sure as hell i bet the german scene survived because the pc-sceners adopted the c64 on their parties like mekka+symposium.....

hehe, i know sander/focus as i've seen him a few months ago. the first time i saw him was on the x'98 when he wears some spice-girls shoes. the guy's a good painter....
shake, everytime i forget your name (big sorry) i know you're from groningen....
the whole scene seems to have been declined but why the hell is the scene growing in some countries? is the reason that the few ppl are active? or that they have a lot of meetings?
i don't know. but i know that anubis and role just have the 'primary star party 'in holland to give the dutch scene a good reason tho show some activity |

A comment on Twoflowers post;
I've been quite inactive recent years as most people know, but after visiting Floppy this year with the rest of the Wrath crew I got some sort of scene rush. 50% nostalgia, and 50% scene spirit. I had more fun on Floppy than I've had in many years, meeting old friends, partying and of course watching some new releases on the big screen, such as the efforts of Puterman, Hollowman and HCL. Eventhough other things could have ignited my interest for the c64 again - Floppy is the main reason for my return.
Without Parties and Meetings (and of course the people visiting), the scene would be extremely dull...

uhm .. i don't think there's such a thing as a national scene. (k, that shall not lead to a discussion like the one started by sad, but well .. =) ><
i've never been part of the german scene, simply because i'm not involved in any pure german group. same for my activities on the amiga and pc, i've been part of the international scene (read: member of groups with people from everywhere in the world) for like 80% of my time in the scene. you might more or less wonder where the people went to, or why they quit doing things on the c64 at all .. |

Polish scene (except the one and only Fenek/Arise :>) seems rather dead (or is it only sleeping?... hope so). There are some talented fresh faces (like coder Logan, graphician Risk0, musicians Jammer and Sidder), but after they had released anything promising, they immediately joined old Polish groups (like Samar Productions) and as their groups are inactive, they stay inactive as well. Or maybe I am completely wrong and they will liven things up a bit, causing all veterans to move again?
Either way, we can't even dream of such vital and productive scene like Sweden (Floppy 2003 demo and graphic compos left me stunned...) and Germany have. |

Shouldn't we all see this C64 scene as an international one?!
I find it rather useless to divide into countries.
I think, we are all "one whole" (rather than some people would say "one hole".).
I think positive. I think, together, we will keep alive the C64 scene forever! :)

stop preaching Joerg, there is nothing wrong with telling what the scene activity is in your country. |

pardon?! It was only well, my point of view. Okay, nobody wants to hear, so good bye CSdB forum.
First "kind words" from Steppe, then this.
Good bye!

Everytime i read threads like this one the great word called "retard scene" falls into my mind. Thank you, Puterman and Hollowman, for having found a name for that dread disease. |

Krill, thanks, but I didn't have anything to do with the invention of that term. I just picked it up because it was such a great and descriptive expression. |
