C64 Animated Demos. Undesirable?
Hello,
Since I became involved in the scene rather late, I wonder about the animated demos paradigm.
In the past I noticed people did not consider animations as demos. Should there be a separate competition or CSDB tag for animations? What are the main objections to seeing an animation as a demo? Does that involve the idea that many are perhaps developed on another platform and then transferred and thus is less work than a lot of code? If it is all created on the c64 and a lot of work for the graphician to implement and design I don't see why that counts less than the coder doing most of the hard work.
Perhaps demos have been mainly about coders showing off.
I'd like to know people's views on this.
(Yes, I had several ideas of animations I'd like to do on the c64) |

I agree with several here that an original design is the most important. And I agree that perhaps it would not be nice have animations as a trend, just like the Vallejo trend that lasted for years. Then again, animations can be quite different in style. So Zaz said it well.

Demos are not all about coding, but about what can be artistically presented on the screen and in the speakers in any way possible.

Don't worry, it won't become a trend to do animations, because not many can do animations on c64 that are cool. |

I'd really respect some great drawn animations as part of demos. As Hein mentions, not many are probably capable of doing really great ones. So it would be interesting for me to see. |

Cool. The part feat. the 'scene' panning down the buildings works really well. I always had plans for such ideas, but they never got off the ground. |
