I actually quite enjoyed those 'weird' ICC 4KB intro rules. But then again I'm a bit 'special' =) |

Quoting CompyxI actually quite enjoyed those 'weird' ICC 4KB intro rules. But then again I'm a bit 'special' =) They were nice in the way that it doesn't make sense to use a cruncher at all, but need to apply the old manual bytesqueeze on directly executable code instead. =)
Yet very limiting in terms of demomaking, with no external memory for tables/data/unrolled code/etc. =) |

Thats because it isnt a 4k demo - its an intro :) |

For an intro, the only thing that should’ve ever mattered to crack groups back in the day was how many blocks were added to the crack.
If you’re linking a 32block game, you don’t link a 64block intro.
If you wanted to use 32k of memory, and it compressed to just 4 blocks on a 32 block game, though, why not..? So long as the game worked, nobody cares.
That’s why I never understood all these mad rules on intro compos. The main thing should just be that the intro fits on a certain number of disk blocks. |

What Raistlin said. And decidedly not what Groepaz said, this time, because technically (as in code-wise), there is no clear distinction between intro and demo, and demos evolved out of intros while they became more and more technically sophisticated over time. |

OK to submit multiple entries by one artist in the same compo? |

in my opinion it should be a 4k memory footprint as it is a 4k 'intro' compo ! |

Thanks for asking.
Even though we'd love to make an exception for you, we'll stick to the one entry per person (group for multi-disciplinary compos, 4k and demo). |

We've gone with the traditional party compo interpretation and I guess we'll call it a "4k demo" instead to make it clearer. |
