Many parties have this though. And very often the compo is cancelled, because of not enough entries. Ppl won't suddenly make more 4k demos(!) because there are more compos for it.

First we would need 4k to become a standard feature at C64 parties, which we still do not have.
Recent X was the first X with 4kb AFAIK. The amount of entries shows you that it's not a standard yet. It's a bit of circular logic there ;)
There is no 4k at Lovebyte, I don't get all the negativity but ok, fuck it, this post was pointless I guess.
Many parties? Not really. Recent X was the first X with 4kb AFAIK. The amount of entries shows you that it's not a standard yet.
X-2018 had a 4K compo as well. 6 entries then and 5 this year is pretty good, though, no?
quite well-established in the C-64 scene (CSDb lists more than 500 releases).
Not sure i follow your reasoning for more 4K compos at parties just to pave the way for more tiny-demo (<= 1K) compos? :)
The negativity in my post followed your border-line ad-hominems implying people were lazy and like to discuss semantics rather than produce, while in fact they do produce, just not for the platforms, venues or categories you'd like them to. =)
X had it before.
Breakpoint and Revision (and iirc even Symmek) had it before. The Party had it before.
which might be why you don't remember it.
Quoting KrillX-2018 had a 4K compo as well. 6 entries then and 5 this year is pretty good, though, no?So that's 2 compos in 15 editions, 11 entries in 28 years. I stand by my claim 4k is not standard yet. On the other hand, PETSCII in the last 2-3 years have become a de facto standard on most C64 parties.
CSDb also lists 600 BASIC demos and 2000 PETSCII's. Taking into account how "established" is the first one xD, and that PETSCII is around since just a few years, I would say the numbers do not support the claim.
You replied in the "call for action" thread why there are one million reasons not to do it
The thread is about C64 (platform), Lovebyte (venue) and tiny intros (category), so I don't care about how active people are on other platforms, venues and categories - that was not the topic, would you agree?
And I think you are taking too many things as personal attacks and becoming too easily triggered, have no idea why but it seems it's a bit your issue, especially in my threads having anything to do with coding. My view, I might be mistaken.
Quote:Breakpoint and Revision (and iirc even Symmek) had it before. The Party had it before.Those are multiplatform parties (it's 4k for C64 because there's 4k for all platforms) and yes, there was a moment on the edge of 90's/00's when C64 4k's they became a thing for a moment, and then there was like a 20 years gaping void, when at X2010 my 4k was in the same compo as "Another Beginning" ;)
