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.

Don't become trapped in endless discussions. Keep it simple and see how it works.

BTW: All real scene interested people know every release (at least those posted on c64.sk!) and shouldn't be too exhausted after watching them again. You know, it's not the 90's with tons of releases not worth looking at.

Hello.

I have released the following blurb;
For the first time, the C64 community has a chance to select a C64 Demo that is worthy for the ultimate recognition: Demo of the Year. Come up on and vote for the C64 Demo of the 2003 Year! Check out the voting chart at:

http://noname.c64.org/csdb/demooftheyear/

Enjoy.

Replies, comments, criticism, etc. are encouraged here in this forum. :) For what it's worth, the voting chart is 11 demos too long. I liked to have a nice figure of 10 demos for the voting chart, but there were a lot of competitions running around during 2003 year. Goes to show there's plenty of activity running in the C64 demoscene!

Also, I wanted to include a wildcard demo entry, but I decided against it, due to the amount of the demos already on the voting chart. My wildcard entry was intended to allow a NTSC demo to 'sneak' into the voting chart. But, there wasn't really a noteworthy NTSC release during 2003. There were two noteworthy C64 demos that could have landed on the voting chart via the wildcard route, though. They are 'Singles Collection, Vol. 2' by Cosine and 'Phases' by Crest.

Looking forward to continued discussions here. More importantly, I look forward to the final voting tally and announcing the C64 Demo of the 2003 Year here!

Enjoy.

Ok nice idea but hey...


01010101 (or whatever the name is) by creators (?) .. i dont know , but i cant find it anywhere, the same goes for that demo by TRSI from willowparty.... are they really released or is it just me who is stupid as always??

i dont think you should include 4k:s in that chart... bigbud - yes i coded it, but seriously there were atleast 3 4k:s at breakpoint which make bigbud look like a pile of shit from richard bayliss pants. So as coder of it i say "remove it".

sorry 4 bad english .... but hope you understand.
