Interface - a letter reading rooms: NoViSeT / Brutal Creators, Di / LSg, Moroz1999, Shame / Madness Technology, Cannibal / Techno Lab.
Hi everyone! Again, we are now writing and reading to them the same answer. So instituted. It is worth noting that on some letters that came on an Internet I, (Elf) answered personally, but here we are with Miguel'em some aspects of our lives and interesting to readers. Actually, I recently, unfortunately, become quite lazy, and if you want to quickly get response - try to write on an Internet, but be sure - and in any other case All letters will be read by most interesting as we usually reply in a magazine. Well there you go. The first letter, this time sent NoViSeT / Brutal Creators: Editor ADVENTURER dedicated! Hi everyone! I read your magazine with eight rooms, and each time I th more and more like the last number (12) - just a class. Funky intra caused me a lot of positive emotions, with the intro is not a sin, and to the party speak ... Elf> Now, if the party were on the compos on intro to the magazines - we would have made ... Well, the magazine itself is not without appeal, the abundance of materials, though mainly relate to long-held and / IC, but my opinion, pose the most complete picture of what is happening in those early days. Personally, I myself was not present there, but after reading interview, immediately delving into the general atmosphere Festival, although perhaps not worth all that typing, word for word, and then in today's email. press on the Spectrum so sea of all dirt, it would be better all the profanity just remove it only spoils the impression, but it was still interesting. Elf> That's it That's why we tried to accomplish - the transfer of the atmosphere. If we were doing text of more than pop, free transfer individual characteristics of the speaker, maybe you would not have been so deeply immerse themselves in everything that happened in St. Petersburg in those days ... Miguel> Exactly. Still possible because just restrict ourselves to a brief narration, but it because shnyaga ... On the other articles I will not say, there is more or less normal, I will tell better about the music, she super glad its quantity and excellent quality, although some tracks are not new; Elf> In fact, almost always music in the magazine - exclusive. If you and It seemed to her that you have somewhere heard it probably means that we have in a magazine or a remix or a remake, or even the full version. In general, the music always paid very much attention. ... But the picture in the main menu, I just killed the realism. Total I liked the magazine, and design and content and a good application, all well, sorry that only redkovato out. Thank you very much for your work! Elf> Thanks for the good reviews. We all time, reflect on a more frequent issue of the magazine, but life still makes their adjustments. We promise for the future continue to attempt to resolve the issue. Yes, we too wish Izhnews DC development for the better, your newspaper also very interesting to read, especially in lately! With best wishes, NoViSeT / Brutal Creators! The following items a letter from Di / LSg: So decided to write in your journal. Why to you, but because after Born Dead'u came Dead, I think that your magazine is the best (not even counting the that you do not have the best hull). Elf> Yes, on the shell we're all the same, perhaps something will be resolved in the near future, but for now enjoy the classics;). I was waiting for your magazine more than a whatever edition, after the death of Born ' Yes. No, of course we could write in DEJA VU, but in my opinion, they log less popular than yours. But if the letter is nothing he will not, I'll write in another publication. Elf> What's stopping you write and Deja Vu, too? Typically, the authors are very pleased letters of support. All I wanted to say I could release and in the newspaper, on the basis of example TM1.17, but I doubt that a reader who will read something (I am do not be offended at me the creators of this nice reading room), just people have certain stereotypes, and they are probably even and will not read it, but I would really like to be heard. A write their own reading room (where the knowledge that I am no longer writing paper) I think is silly. So I decided to write you. Elf> The solution is undoubtedly correct - Now your message will be carried to many, and perhaps there will some responses. The essence of my further letter the next - I want to offer a method of raising the Spectrum with the tribes to which it set of PCs. My idea is that to raise the Speccy and return it to its former glory, you must: 1. Create at least one printed publication! (No I'm not opposed to electronic publications), I am sure that our main the trouble is that no new people. And how to solve this problem? Need a propaganda! A that it may be? For example advertising on television. Sure can, but first of all, it's expensive, secondly, people will take the best decision if it will have more information, five-second movie is almost nothing to give: (. You can write articles in local newspapers, but even here there are a number of problems, firstly, not everyone can write well. Secondly, more people get the impression, if the article (the magazine) will be released somewhere ... Well for example in Moscow than in any country:) So I think that just need to produce printed edition, if We need new people. And they need? Not know about you, and I with great pleasure that would devote the next few years of life ZXSpectrum'u! Of course, I understand that it's expensive ... but if the public support - it is real! Of course, I could and to publish himself, but first, I did not such a great experience in this matter (as we say at the Unbeliever 'a), but this is not the main problem - to learn, but the main problem lies in the fact that I live, so say, in the outback, and the information I have few, and the knowledge of the section of Coding it is not enough: (. Elf> The idea of course is correct, and soars in the minds of people long ago, one of its implementations - "Passage." 2. After the first paragraph can proceed to more totally ... Need to appear (or back) producers of software. And for this we would be almost everything - after new people, because they will need new games and programs, and do not know about the current situation at this time with Freestuff software, so they are a great pleasure to buy software from the author, but as our writers scattered across the country (And even I can safely say the world), we just need to find a fair, I wish prosperity Speccy distributors on the ground! And just need to decide the problem of piracy! It is piracy, not hacking. Why piracy? But because the hacker is a person which breaks in order to learn something, rather than break, to get any material benefit! In principle, I hope that this should not have any problems, because I'm sure (and maybe not) that these people have still remained at least a grain of conscience (or desire engage Speccy), because if we do not take any action - all our beloved Speccy (which now rests on demah, and e-paper'sah) flies from us all to hell: ((( Elf> Well you're here at the beginning described the very so idyllic utopian picture ... So simply and quickly, of course, nothing happens. And why, in general, we fly to hell? We will deal with Spectrum until it is interesting to us, because we do not do it for material gains, although sponsorship, of course, it never hurts, and then earning money takes too much time and effort. As has long been clear, Speccy will not fly away from the us only if we ourselves do not want this. And, in general, much pessimism about this, lately, I do not feel, despite the fact that many people with which we are interested to be working over a magazine, is now doing something absolutely not connected with Speck. None however, they are always ready to help us chemto, possible. We'll see what happens in our media after the publication of this article. She can someone and inspire to action? Very I would like, so Speccy continued to live because the computer is not so interesting more. For example take the HRC: everything live by the laws of the wolf - each by itself itself, every man for himself in the best case sharing software and everything! As is the case with the Amiga can not imagine, because I do not seen live Amiga: (. But judging by the come down to my knowledge - there are not too sweet - lack of software, and a small number of own Amigo. Elf> Amigo A small number of observed mainly in the ex-USSR, the situation abroad The situation is different, so do not forget such an interesting and little spread in our PC - Commodore64, on which, in general, and was born that All we now call the Scene. And anyway, buying a PC is not necessarily start live by its laws, we in fact always a Speccy. At Spectrum'e has everything you need but somehow it ... And yet how strange ... everyone there Pushkin, Picasso, Rousseau, etc. remember, and Speccy might be completely forgotten. There are all sorts of villages, where often even no electricity (but with this I probably turned down, though ...), but we already Spectrum ' but not enough, SAU Give! Lamer! No, you remember how good it was before during the ZX-REVIEW. Do not want to back then? Yes, now with Spectrum run mainly due to the fact that for a program created by the author or the author of horseradish receives no!: (But the funny thing is that, is in our hands. There is neither Putin nor Zhirinovsky, or anyone who might interfere with us - in our hands and we're trying their year already for some reason strangle Speccy. But why? You fools! What you will not live quietly, as if to create the necessary our conditions - after all is just wonderful! And the fact that for example Black Raven 2 never released (and sorry) to blame first and foremost we are all that vpadlu pay some money for the game. No to break or wait kreknutoy, khalyavnykh and broken version of the author. Yes, I himself better than all the rest: (I can admit that, of all that I have, no _odnoy_ authoring program. But I would buy the best software author, if in our city would have been distributors! As states - not the good life I'm doing. That's why I'm writing this article - that the people thought, and we would have joint efforts arose again from head to feet! Elf> It shows the life - changing inevitable, we should not treat them well negatively, in the situation that develops is now also very much interesting. The scene has just started with us to develop very interesting to see what it will, and, of course, to participate in the development of ourselves, in our hands - it's true. I very much hope that it will not be sotryasaniem empty air, a good deal on it forward, and that awaits us is not a happy future. Here you imagine - what would happen if would not party? That's right, no one else there will be: (And that is all there and go: (So that it is still not too late, we should all root change! And most importantly, very Speccy good computer. He is like a blank sheet of paper, not burdened with all sorts of manure there (WindowOZ). On the Speccy can therefore do anything! In the iron part he is as pure as a dewdrop, as yet very much can be done, and we need! Tak I I repeat - think! Elf> That's it, we can do all that anything, not focusing on the masses, in this then the beauty of non-commercial underground. On this yet I have all ... We'll see What will happen after the publication of this letter. Yeah, like once in detail tell about myself and about our group ... Elf> Yes, we are always interested to learn about new groups, write on this subject often. I think some readers may already podnadoest one and same faces in our interviews). Hence a taxi ... I'm from the city of Tchaikovsky (one time LFg 'Schnick called him chankovskim :))). Now, after (almost) the collapse of CiC, existed in him with 97 (+-), in our town there is only a more or less progressive group - this is our Last Spectrum group; by the way, I now thinking about renaming it, 've already (or more) of our cases are not so bad. Now the group consists of 6 people is: Di - main coder, some gfx, organizer Dr. 'S' - music maker, swapper Mister'Pi '- coder, some gfx Usp - gfx maker L - some code, gfx, music Marat - coder (FIG know that he especially did not itches :))), main critic. So far, two of our group strained from a computer or with a life;))) This edit article is finished. We'll see what tell the public around this issue? Incidentally, Please comment on the whole this nonsense that I could make at least one conclusion, one point of view on the question raised by me! That's all. Elf> Yes, we are also wondering what ideas people will come after reading your letter. So write, waiting for responses. Here is another very interesting letter, wrote Moroz: Hello, CPU. I want to share your opinion on some sore in recent issues. First, it becomes noticeable trend to stop whining about the tragic death (Oh, what NESCHASTE! heigh TRAGEDY!) we all loved Speccy. Elf> Yes, this is, admittedly, can not please. Undergoing a period of massive depression, there is finally the realization of the simple fact that "while I will never wash _sam_ z80 favorite in the sparkling clean spring morning toilet, nothing has happened to him. All of incessant controversy this issue in periodicals ("How did we get this dokatilis," "What's next," Who is to blame ".......) not just leads to an exacerbation of seizures of sleepiness, and begins to irritate frankly stupid to fatten like crap in the head already demoralized people. So I think this thread finally licked and vyshelushennoy, the benefit of all who Speck was a fleeting tool of Fakov and becoming self-conceit, already safely piled up from the platform. Now, apparently, why not start write eye-popping designs and shake the whole world with the results? No, not yet enough tenacity and perseverance, people slaughtered at all because of the number of problems. In my time I also began to write igruhu, but programmer out of me horseradish and I scored well on this case. How could withdraw from the situation where the artist is trying to write a simple 2D engine, and the encoder draws graphics, and long afterward looking at the screen, trying to associate the resulting delirium with anything he had seen before, why not come out any doom-this project? Why are all engaged in five hundred times repetition of writing engines to arcades? Exit here alone - to create prog-editor, which allows having no special knowledge of programming to create full-fledged arcade even hundreds. I am the first 'll take such a project and write while to Mini-game with one level, but on lnotsennuyu for playability. After all, were the same in his time editors adventyur why would not implement such a project and on other genres. What about Doom: on-site DR I'd try to draw 3d-engine into something completed and posted to its for free distribution, but even better would have made a level editor with the possibility of replacing the entire graphic. What was would see the day Quake? Duke? But All this is possible and could provide a powerful impetus to the emergence of software. Elf> The idea is certainly very interesting, and relatively recently www.scenergy.natm.ru touched on a similar theme, but certainly pain is unreal, in my opinion, she's there outlines. Most easily done by the moment - getting the sources of various dodelannyh and unfinished projects, though often no one has enough courage to begin to understand the strange code. Look at us in the exchange of experience article "How to write a 3D game such as Doom", and annex the source - perhaps it will give some impetus to coders, because, mud, there can be interesting podcherpnut ideas. I can not understand people who do not recognize emulyatorschikov, and considering that only real Speccy has the right to life. A for me so even on the toilet sit astride, loud splashing feces, only you would not have scored on this comp. I'll see as they sing the so-called "Realists" when will emulsion Z80Stealth supporting General Sound and this feature becomes available not only to a narrow circle of elite, but anyone with the HRC and Speck coexist at adjacent tables. Elf> At the moment Z80Stealth supporting GS already out ... Miguel> Still AY'shny sound sucks. Say what you like, but on "real" sound better so the music in the intro I wrote it on it. But the magazine to collect, of course, more convenient under the emulsion, if you want - scold us for it ... It would be nice to get people to keep response of the market. I mean, it is very many developers praising everywhere its product ("It will be steeper Elite, Laser Squad, and the Star Heritage together combined. World shiver with hitherto unprecedented power ineffable manifestation of genius, and Spectrum will regain its place in the market components "), and then safely released demo skis and roll. The best option would be to create a website developers, where they could learn project information, proposal or throw blame the author. Elf> Yes, it would be nice, though not always missing from the authors at this time and opportunities, in any case, the Internet in recently provided us with invaluable assistance. Relatively low activity of the masses I can only say that no threat will not help raise it. Remains engaged in the business. It is not necessary to persuade the public, and should pick up these materials in publications, which are unlikely to leave indifferent even Ivan Balalajkin Govnoedska from the city. It is much more difficult, but it is a sure way to get a certain number of letters. Elf> yes, that's what we do;) The magazine simply superb. I can only lightly complained about the content - it leaves me cold, although the latter number (12) is definitely a success (mainly due to CC2k report). Elf> I hope this will please you too! Well, like all expressed. Any controversy, and assaults are encouraged. Moroz You have it. And now, following Message: Hi Elf, Miguel, Xn0ByS and other CPU - Schnick also hi! Wrote you Strade - an artist from the group Dneprpetrovskoy Voodoo People. I want to say a few kind words about your journal. After reading it the first time (It was the 9 th issue), I realized - Adventurer - A journal for me. In my opinion, even <Grandpa> - Spectrofon and ZX-Format with taken not pulled and half coolness Adventurer'a. Adventurer - a magazine for this "cyberpunk" soul. Elf> Well, really you do something really cool to take it. We just have slightly different directions and ideas have always been. We respect the above publication. And, of course, always loved to read them. And those individuals (difficult word, his mother), who criticize your magazine - just an old fart and assholes. After people who are young at heart and has a sense of humor and do not write all poddumaet bullshit writers - say, the promotion of drugs out there, drinking and debauchery of youth. These words irritate even me (chase in my favorite magazine, bitches). For most of my friends from the Dnieper-spektrumistov Adventurer is a favorite magazine. And I sure that in other cities of Ukraine many admirers of the magazine. So be and are you sure guys that are doing it does not only for himself, and eagerly awaiting new numbers hundreds (at least) guys-spektrumistov to once again sit in front of the spit-covered monitor for a couple of days, rereading the article several times and dikorzhat over gags <Uncle Vova>, drowning out the pouring of the 100 watt speakers next Cyberspace XXX ... Elf> Yeah, bro, no bazaar - keep new number and wait for the next one - will try in the future does not break off your expectations! p.s. I have a request to publish in the "iron" all that is known at this time of DMA sound card. Have any of you is a miracle? How many programs for it? The only DMA in the river (This map, which brought David Willis) It scary to watch - it is collected on cardboard. Zhelezyachnikam all that I did showed no amount of money would not for her brothers, they say, the board is reconstituted necessary. I was told there is wiring in Radio An amateur in 2000. If you have a layout, please send us xero-copy. Elf> Hell, we do so no one has collected it themselves, so there's unfortunately nothing you do not help, and help you probably able Shame / Madness Technology, email which goes further. I advise you to also read MSF23, and connect with yourself Shame: madnessy@rambler.ru or 601655 Alexandria Tereshkova street, 8 kv.28 Chukanova SY A That's his letter. In this issue We are already tired of publishing positive reviewers, though, and nice to us, but you probably already tired of reading about the same thing, so this time we have a little poskipaem ... Hi, Kent! Hi, Elf! Th-that I was going and decided namalyavat you what a good ... We ourselves are getting on myself slowly, rulim, kontachim among themselves, it helps to opportunities user'ov new fruit - oh, and boring this occupation, and that:) in the glands picks, all the gates Moore;) About the "madness" I would like to note that the roof of my travels just on bloat Speck, though As every fan, and built myself for the aforementioned purposes and not only pisyavy box, where, in fact, any CAD'y and other such labuden to work with iron, and then go and wait for some here (That's me on the DMA;) Elf> Of course, it's cool that you have you cut into gland, we have on this subject all the time, a lack of quality materials, so that Next time you write - send anything - schematics, board or any Soup:) And even better on soap: elphecy@mail.ru so it will be speedily! Oh, and lastly, a letter from the Cannibal / Techno Lab: Hello, dear journal! I am a constant reader and admirer of the 7-th number. Letter sooner or later had to be written, and here such a moment has come, the more room jubilee, thirteenth :)... After viewing next issue of the accumulated positive emotions, there are always some wishes that need to share and wish that I will. Adventurer - progress is being made - with every issue Vse becomes more interesting, tastier and thicker. I would say it is - a small masterpiece edakii collection of the best and interesting prichem clearly reflects its era. I want to ponegodovat about unfair criticism from the Prog-Master'a, and Macros'a, which has undergone VovanChasm, people who know and love EVERYTHING! A Prog Master and Macros nichrome in life sharyat. Elf> Yeah, actually Chasm fumbles in Life is much more of the above people, and that is why neither he nor we attach great importance to such a collision, at all - it is usually another reason to laugh;). I'm here to tell the truth, the first read is not OTTYAG and Reviews software, but after reading the latter will inevitably press in a chair in anticipation of wild laughter, and kosteneyuschey hand crimping keyboard laden ... Wheel! Ottyag FOREVER! Yes, I am very happy was read phrases like "young man" etc. By the way, about this same: One of two things: either Vovan began to pass, or was not very successful period in the life Chasm'a, which is clearly reflected in the contents section, namely: the previously almost Articles are always written them, and in room # 12 just been translated from English text. Ought to be and my pee. Elf> I hope this issue Ottyag you do not disappoint, but the review will have broken off ... I want to continue the Terminator! Elf> Vovk said that the Terminator is unlikely whether to continue to write, but something in this spirit is sure to be in the near the future! Okay, enough about Ottyag now on the rest. Very beautiful picture in pls'a # 12 issue! Interview with Unbeliever'om prompted me to remove the already rather dusty disk with the elite and take several weeks, having thrown all the other things, "remembering" past feats of arms " (Incidentally, crack release of the very ELITE golden edition, I could not get it : () Elf> Yes, it so no one and no, I suggest that everyone collectively to collide with Unbeliever'a, because wishing to make a qualitative release certainly is, but here's a copy of the Elite golden edition is available only from him; (. Read the interview is very interesting, particularly quadrupeds people to read about them plans and developments. Finally, the public learned the truth about / IC, saw the light BD # 11. Well. Well, the application generally great! Well, quite flattering words, now wishes: it is possible to modify the shell and opportunity to do so trendy right now dragging windows, as in Deja Vu, for example. Animation, 3kolor. Elf> In fact, we still can not understand why the magazine opportunity to drag windows;). But here's the other improvements we ought to really make a lot of ... More "stuff" text sprites. Of course, writing a new shell with a new design, probably does not make sense (and no one?), Because we are all accustomed to seeing this magazine is the way it is, and it a tradition. Elf> We've got Alff and Veka! So that all is not lost in this regard! About me: Spectrum engaged with a 95-year, with 98 seriously, back when got 128 PC with a floppy drive. Now am a member of Krasnodar Techno Lab team at the post gfx-artist'a, writer'a and slightly encoder. On the stage is not well known in connection with constant breakdowns of my long-suffering Spectrum, which I have replaced more than one times. Now, after another failure Spectrum, I spit on all the real curse Spectrum and assembled PC. I work at the emulsion. Of course, I want to live, this ZX'a, but the situation with local Harder even more sad: (. By the way, I too suffer syndrome Paracels'a: B / W TV: (, making it very difficult process gfx-making'a, so Moreover, the PC in black and white color shrunken CRT - hell. That in such difficult conditions to work. Elf> Yes, life is often full of crap : (. Now a few words about the game making'e. I fully support the idea Slon'a, enthusiasm Demon'a and I want to note: These articles are needed! Now I would like to know about rapid withdrawal of sprites psevdotrehmernom form, as in La Abadia, UFO1-2, Black Raven 2 (demo) and their ilk. After Vse still on the threshold of the 21 st century and I think an article on this topic would enrich the minds of beginners geymmeykerov. After all, as it will be convenient to write RPG, and in general, 2D measurement procedure nabilo mouth. I hope, dear Demon write an article and someone else, and a map editor for the pseudo-3D sprites. How ever it will be possible to tell (not again, but again) about AI, but ... Too my appetite increased. Elf> At the moment of the Demon, unfortunately, one can hardly expect anything in terms of art, except that the vodka with him drink: (. About rattles and pasochkah. Adventyury RPG and it's cool! It is a pity that adventyury as those died, and the RPG near. There such igruha cool Pyracurse, but deal with it, I could not because of the small count of lives, and cheat'a or poke at I do not have. : (Incidentally, I'm a big fan of the trilogy, Fairlight. Fairlight1, 2 - both these games evoke memories of childhood, 48k and recorder. And indeed igruha rulnaya and I wonder why so far no one imprisoned quality crack release of this masterpiece? Again and again, like Pyracurse, Chief drawback of the game is too fast dying. What do you think is worthy of a Fairlight be attached to your magazine? Elf> Igruha just cool, I do it big fan, but that the application We try to find lesser-known but no less interesting game, in my opinion, Times of Lore in the last room - a real masterpiece, I still can not understand how turned out that she almost was not known to us. I remember, Veka like once held Fairlight, may be to convince him to write something on this topic in the future ... Continuing the conversation on gaming themes I want to say that I am a big amateur Lords Of Chaos. I remember, Step'ovtsy long ago promised to release a release with additional levels, but this We could not wait ... People! If someone has a level editor for this igruhe or at least demo-editor (was once a long time was), please - send it to me the soap: sa7an@hotmail.ru and I shall cut no one level, not forgetting to touch up the new graphics, monsters, and possibly completed yet demo-version of the editor. Elf> Yes, it would be really cool! If we are anywhere gets caught, we'll will send. Well, it's time to round ... Finally, Adventure wish to be as interesting and beautiful, stuffing to continue to grow in volume with the same trend. Cyberpunk wish above all not die of drunk and drugs, because health is more important everything! Elf> No, do not bend, we are still interested in this reality;). Well esessno, all the best, not Speck throw, drink as much beer and vodka, drank much before, and all all the best! Cannibal / Techno Lab Elf> Thanks for writing! Write more, we very interesting love letters with constructive suggestions. Well, sort of, all the while, before meeting in these rooms, and even better at some party, for example Millenium 1902, where we're going to go!
