Yup, but I'm back since a few days. Which doesn't mean I have a lot of spare time now, the new appartment still is quite a mess. Have patience folks, it will come in January, that's for sure. |

Yes, you're so absolutely correct. And it doesn't really clash with my statement above.
Recently the police stopped me because of speeding. They asked if I'm aware that I just went 75 km/h in the city (50 is allowed) and I said "Yes, but I got that HVSC update to finish, officer. The sooner that happens the sooner I get these people off my back that remind me about it on a weekly basis!"
The face of the policeman cheered up, he smiled and said: "Now if we only knew, we'd never have stopped you in the first place. Go on and finish your undoubtedly important mission."
Ah, such a nice and privileged life I'm living. ;-) |

I understand. :DDDDDDD
So, it comes a week later?! ;-)
Seriously, maybe more + smaller updates would be more suitable... maybe. :) |

Nata I think I finally understand your problem with the scene. You don't realise that it already died (;-) and noone takes their scene-duties too seriously because they don't weight them high in the rank of their so called real life duties. Now I understand why you are bugging Cadaver with updates and stuff and claim a full-time customer support etc. Yeah, I partially agree. It's a bad thing when someone starts doing something and doesn't do it 100%, but in my honest opinion, everyone should first clean before their own door-step. That also concerns you. Make more tunes, be more active and maybe you get what you call for. And maybe not.. after all scene is after it's clinic death.. the thing we live now is called "life-after-life" or maybe even scene-heaven ;-). |

As far me is concerned: Well, I'm one of the composers (even if I left the scene) that regularly releases something. :) |

I'd put it another way: in a time when scene is mostly dead but dreaming (I like to use that instead of just "dead") forum-sceners should realize that it's easy for their voice to grow disproportionally loud, and thus further discourage people who are still to some degree active. You know, log in to the forum and all you see is whine, whine, whine, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, request, request, request. That really encourages one to be active and contribute, right?
In this state it's possible for a single person to significantly (if not completely) degrade for example a certain subforum. Lemon64 scene forum was quite unreadable before, but since Tomz arrived it's at least 3 times as bad.
(of course being active doesn't really need www-forums, but it seems quite like the main format of public, more or less permanent & organized scene discussion today, so stopping to read them entirely doesn't seem like a good solution either..)
As for you nata, it will take a long time before the equation
total_contribution = released_tunes - forum_bullshit
reaches positive side again :) |

Smaller updates would perhaps be more suitable for the users, who would get them more often. But it takes us less time to release updates more seldom.
The testing phase of each update, to try to make it work on all platforms, including a real c-64 makes it time consuming.
In the early days we had a backlog of 3000 tunes, which made it easy to select a bunch of tunes, and release 500 tunes. Now we have to rip enough tunes to have a complete update. And people who contributes with rippacks has decreased a lot over the years. Also many members of the HVSC-crew got older, got fulltime work, family, house, and other hobbies... |
