Floppy 2004 demos
I'm suprised not to find a thread about this yet.
Anyways, the WD demo definitely was my favourite, go WD! Especially the music. ;) |

Oswald: in other words, you'll consider even "design demos" to be real demos as long as they have some sort of animation in there somewhere? :-) |

This thread is very interesting.
Definitions of "effect" are very funny :)
I am usually hot for more, more, more and better effects in demos, but this time I was amazed by Cycle, more because of music and design, not saying that it didn't had good enough effects too. But this particular demo made me feel like "Wow! There is still something new that can rock on the C64!!!". And I think every other demo release from Floppy had something nice or new to see. Wow!
One more. I discover Dane from the releases. I must have heard his music before, but after this demo I know whom to vote :). But gfx and coding too? Hey Dane, I am wondering! How can you manage to do all these things so great?! :) I am still puzzled by the hyperactivity of some sceners and sometimes I wish I had the same motivation to spend so much time in demomaking! But no way.. :( |

Dane = not just one person, but every scener from Denmark who likes to use that moniker. |

I have heard of Mitch&Dane. Is that one or two persons? (I am always confused with such strange nicks! Someone on the CPC signed as Toms&Hicks but I met them both at a CPC meeting and they are brothers =))) |

Mitch&Dane have released a bunch of tunes together, aswell as releasing tunes separately. and yes the Dane in Mitch & Dane is the same Dane of ex-Crest who now is in BD |

mermaid und die anderen...
I started all these effect definitions with the following thought: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DEFINE IT EXACTLY.
so please stop searching for the bugs in my definitions, I just took it as a challenge and gave it a try.
and NO an animation is not an effect.
mermaid: I love the thingie you and ninja have released at floppy, its so cute, unique, fresh, and new, but still I wont call it a demo, nor an effect. But I would love to see more in this style :)

Whatever..By your own definition it contains several effects, and it is just as much a demo as the demos you have released. :-) |

Oh,
"Mitch Dane" is a singer-songwriter who can be reached at www.mitchdane.com. Very interesting and creative in his approach to the folk tradition, and an appreciated producer aswell.
But C-64 wize, "Mitch" is Michael-Nilsson Wunderbaum and "Dane" is Stello Andersson. This could be verified with a simple search in the engine above, if you would have bothered to check. They have co-operated til Mitch got too busy and lost the interest in the C-64.
Personally I would rather see 1 demo in the style of Mermaids "Brief Bursts of Happiness" than 10 others. These are the demos which expands the definition of what demos are/can be, just like Joseph Beuys and others expanded the definition of art. This is far more important than stuff which is made in the same form as earlier demos, although altered. Other demos which I think ment much is "Timewaster", "Rewinder-X", "Hunger", "Psykolog", "A Small Demo" "Digi Dimensions" and probably many others, released in different eras. |

Anything that includes nice gfx or a nice tune or some kewl effects can be a good demo for me.
I can enjoy every type of demo, except for those things that metalvotze produces. |
