Event id #784 : Assembly 2004
W.t.f. are there scener names instead of group names behind the demo names? |

B'koz the releases have been put in the "mixed" and "graphics" category |

Graphics I understand, I was not referring to that. But isn't it possible to have a group as the creator of a mixed entry? Or does it automatically take the list of credits for that entry? |

Yes. But in this case, wouldn't it be more logical to put the asm'04 demos in the "C64 Demo" category instead of "Mixed"? Coz it WAS a demo-only-competition. (it was not gfx,mzx,demo,... mixed together) Or?
As far as i understand the graphics and music was also mixed with other oldschool platforms aswell at asm'04, so it was all kind a' mixed. |

Maybe you should have a 'mixed demo' category as well, where you could take the group as the creator? |

Off topic but still: hopefully we'll release something on the X, still don't bet any large sums of money on it. |

Well, "Mixed" was actually intended for compos which had mixed *releasetypes*.
If there is a demo-only compo where the *platforms* are mixed, the idea is that they should go in the "C64 Demo" category, but ONLY the demos for the C64-platform ofcause.
(the non-C64 stuff should just be left out)
So there shouldn't be any need for a "Mixed Demo" category
An example of a "real" mixed compo:
Mail Madness Party 4
I agree, this might not be clear.
(But yeah, maybe we can write group-names for demo-entries in mixedcompos) |

I just fixed the code so that in Mixed compos only music and graphic type releases will have the sceners as "by".
The rest (demos etc.) will have the group-name as "by" - if there are any group.
An example of this can be seen in the link given by CyberBrain above. |

Sure, way off topic. Focus demo, that's good to hear, after all you have JT and Sander, that's quite a line up :) ...i bet it's a 1 parter, like for time waster for instance (quite cool, although Doolittle remains my fav Focus demo). |

We have more people than just JT & Sander, another lost son just returned to the fold .. you may have seen him posting quite a lot here recently :)
Plus most people here don't know about our secret weapon (Ben), who's one hell of a coder. Our line-up still is quite strong, too bad about our inability to actually finish something. But if we do, I doubt it will be something like Doolittle. Or Timewaster for that matter. |

Ben? ...is he new to 64? - it all sounds good anyway. And what about you, do you still code? |

Ben used to call himself Anorganic, was part of the Paradize crew that released such good demos in the early 90's and joined Focus about, oh, 10 years ago :) He was 'lost' for a while though, returned a few years back.
As for me, I still have 1 or 2 parts left in me, but as I've begun work on one of them 3 years ago (actually it was meant to be our X2001 contribution) I guess you can say I'm not really coding these days .. |

I think there is a slight confusion what a "Mixed" competition is. Someone maybe thought that "Mixed" means "Multiplatform" but to me it means a competition where graphics, musics and demos compete. |
