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. ;) |

Quote: TDJ, will there ever be another demo from Focus? :)
...and what was all that talk (afews back) about Jeroen Tel joining Focus? did he join or simply hand over afew unreleased tunes to you guys /WEC :)
Yes, probably at the X2004. Chances have improved since Ben (ex Anorganic) came back into the fold some time ago. He simply rocks, as one of the best & most original dutch coders ever. But before that something you've all been waiting for: a WWE demo.
And Jeroen has been a Focus member since '95, and still is. Unfortunately he joined after our productive era, although he did cooperate on Rewinder X (the tune we used there was an old one but he changed it so it seemed to hang at the end). |

as tdj is begging for recognition, yes rewinder-x is great
but i believe isometric perspective had been invented
earlier.
there has always been plenty of sources of inspiration
around, but people have always been scared to do something
which they havent seen before and know is accepted.
the scene is like the schoolyard, be a bit different and
you are bound to be beaten and called a faggot,
so stick to the rules, make a snurkelscroller and run for
genius his crocodile. its best to play it safe.
anyhow, i'm not happy with wok zombie, to me its just an
ordinary demo, yes it has a theme, but so did spice up
your life/triad. i tried to make it as attractive as
possible, but still its just effect-picture-effect..
with no feelings attached to it. but a demo kind of demo
can have its charm i suppose, although this one doesnt
have much of it in my eyes.
oswald has a point with a demo not being a demo without
effects, i dont want to agree, but i still do. i try to
get rid of this fixed idea, but its a constant struggle.
and yes, brief bursts of happiness is great, and could be
placed along with hunger, over the edge, a qui ca sert,
timewaster and a few other c64 demos that i consider to be
actually worth something |

'begging for recognition ..'
Yeh, fuck you too.
Have I ever claimed we invented isometric perspective? No. And I've never even considered your use of it being inspired by Rewinder X.
Funny, on the one hand you claim that the scene is a schoolyard and people behaving differently will be beaten up. On the other hand you try to put me down because I have the guts to claim what I think is mine. Because as we all know, that is "not-done". Now isn't *that* ironic?
I really think you are the most worthy and influental coder of this decade but I kinda get the feeling things went to your head.
So take your recognition and shove it up your cartridge port, please. |

Looks as if this year's Floppy Releases really rocked. I enjoyed the demo by Booze Design & Fairlight the most. I also enjoyed playing 'Kid Vs Kid' by H&T. The music entries are average. Rock on C64sters! |

What I found most interesting is in the Booze Design demo note it was written Booze Designs. Probably just an issue of using are vs is. I enjoyed most stuff so I find it was a good party release wise.

You didnt read wrong Stryyker, its a well calculated PR move to ease the transition of Booze to Wrath. |

great releases at floppy.
i was denied of attending the party on the last friday by the stupid officers in dutch embassy who gave me a schengen visum that starts to be valid on 1st of march and refused to make it effective from 28th February. If i hadn't check the dates last minute i would have spend the floppy party under custody in Kastrup airport Copenhagen. My demo efforts to take part in floppy atmosphere has been wasted, my long time wish of meeting the swedes has been unrealized and i am utterly frustrated but hey that's life...
now all there is left to be done is release at forever 5 and get the shit beaten out of me by whatever wizardry oswald has up his sleeves :)
and for the swedes (and scandinavians in general) i 'll keep trying to come to one of your parties and meet you guys :) |
