How many years does the C64 have remaining?
With activity down, combined with appearances of sceneres releasing old stuff created years back, I wonder how much the C64 scene can continue?

Same here. Got a job and a wife and tons of bills to pay.
Nevertheless, i cant resist tweaking on a new tune or a new musicdemo. Though my time is limited.

ready: That's quite a true statement really. I remember when I was at school 6 years ago I had way more time to play and code with my c64 - but due to having no internet at the time because of low income, I never knew the scene still existed, hense why i didn't release anything.
Now being a student in higher education with tonnes of non stop work at very tight deadlines, it is harder to keep up with coding new things for the c64. Making music is not as bad as you are using already coded tools, but coding new ideas for new demos can consume a lot of time, especially if it's a unique demo effect. |

I will retire in 29 years, then I will have a lot of time to make new demos.

@oswald: Agreed about whining... :D
My message is: Just code for fuck sake! We're all busy but one can choose between 1) Watching TV 2) Wank 3) Forum-dwell 4) Facebook-dwell 5) Play computer games or 6) Do demos. |

I don't even have a TV. I don't care about wanking. I seldom play computer games. I hang on forums very little. I work on demos on spare time, but I'm too slow for being productive. The rest is work at my work place (average 9-10 hours/day), do stuff at home like cleaning and other routine stuff, stay with my wife, see friends.
That's basically it. |

I hope it survives 2008 at least. Wouldn't want to release our next demo at a funeral. |
