Интервью

Scene - an interview with the band Phantom Family taken on CAFe'2002.

Interview with PhF
elph / CPU

Yeah! It's just a comeback party
some! Flying after a long
exhibited in the absence of 512b,
Antares, which is nobody
remembered as a team, thinking about Deme after 512b
Konex'a, MHCG in demo com ... and
Plus, Andy Fer
involved in the music compo himself
arrives at the party! Course
with Maddy. They always
interesting talk, it is those
people who are very long with us,
though lately we do not see any noticeable activity on the 
Phantom Family. 

Elf> recently from you
there was virtually no music, but
here, we heard your new
track and whether this means that you have returned to the 
scene and will continue to write music. 

Andy Fer> Let me start by saying that I'm giving an interview 
to do for the first time means to receive exclusive.

I understand that this will
published in the Adventurer?

Elf> Well, yes. Of course.

Andy Fer> In essence the question -
I do not know whether this means a return, simply create tracks
just for music compo at CAFe,
I am indebted to several people. I want to thank Maddy, Diver'a
and Flying'a for their moral support - without them on CAFe I 
would definitely nothing put. And about

return? I guess I'll
from time to time to write something
for his own pleasure, and can
will please anyone, and can
be disappoint.

Elf> Clearly, good. By the way, you
wrote the track specifically for the party,
or written before, and just decided to
set?

Andy Fer> I wrote it specifically for the party. This, 
incidentally, generally the first track that I wrote directly 
to participate in components, in order to please

above mentioned people.

Elf> And you've got something else has written?

Andy Fer> Well, yes. A month ago I wrote a track, which in
Basically, for a full track is not
I think, although he liked some of my friends. Maybe
in the future I will publish it to the public.

Elf> And let's put it in our
magazine. I think there will hear it
almost everything. I just remember
your great music in the early
Adventurer'a rooms.

Andy Fer> Frankly,
The track I have already asked
Placebo for Buzz. Maybe if they did not zayuzat, I will give it 
to you. 

Elf> Did you write anything else
exclusive to us.

Andy Fer> still write? Not
I promise. I am no longer anything to anyone
I do not want to promise, because much of what I promised, just
did not succeed. But if I write something in the future, then 
immediately send you first.


Elf> Everything is cool, sweeps! Now you, Maddy, I want to ask
specific question: "48
irons. "At the last CC, you
said that you left to finish is very little that basically you
going to produce a game almost
not a week after the party.

Maddy> I need to do so little that I have not done this in
during the year. ;-)

Andy Fer> In fact, there
problem of a different plan
ie the engine is ready to automatically recycle all messages. 
From work have only translation of one of the levels and 
ending. This refers to the author text. Bullshit, basically,

but nevertheless it must be pervesti
to preserve the originality
style.

Elf> And it still has not translated? You said that Lina
had to translate.

Maddy> In general, we prosrali
time. Lina, of course, will not
lost, it just now
very, very busy. As I said earlier, it works in its
Australian office than
Specifically it deals with, I do not
asked, but guess what ...

Andy Fer> By the way, if by the time we have not yet 
Adventurer'a release "48 Iron", the

people, help someone to translate!

Looker> Refer to the people through community NetSpec - without
problems translate.

Elf> It should be that people knew
English very well, preferably with slang. Cool
it should be.

Maddy> Now we are back
a conversation last year. These
word I said.

Andy Fer> The only people
who were able to convey the mood of the game were Lina and Vova
HEX. Here they transferred just fine. Better than they probably
few could have it so good
do.

Elf> Vova HEX is here.
You can just stretch it.

Andy Fer> Of course, we can take
him by the scruff and strong kick
him on this occasion. Just me
want to see and Lina participated in this project since its
style is simply inimitable. In principle, as any man. Us
want to see the whole game looked integrally.

Maddy> Well, yes.

Andy Fer> This is the first problem.
Next - a bourgeois and not
TR-DOS'nost. Since evroreliz does not work, ie LOAD "" - and
everything works, then of course this can not be so if
we do translate ...

Maddy> It's no secret that this release focuses mainly on
west ...

Andy Fer> Of course we have many and it will be interesting ...

Elf> For example, I will whim to read the English text.

Maddy> And in-jokes, of course.
But, naturally, our release will be
made not because the authors, the software in the sense. 
Compact, cultured, neat, I certainly If hope. There is still 
one of our promise and we keep - The fact that this release is 
dedicated to one of the young Membury Phantom Family, untimely 
departed from us two years ago. I talking about Dwarf'e.


Andy Fer> Engine for Fastening to the game
was written by him. He has
made plug-in to the Consul Commander.

Maddy> He has not had time to do it, but his contribution to 
our overall releases are very large. Therefore, this release 
will be devoted entirely to him, we'll do it necessarily. 
Certainly too bad that we this so far and not finished, but

then emerges as to the third problem, ie, almost complete lack 
of free time. 

Elf> I understand you.

Maddy> If you take me, then three years ago, Andy did not give 
lie to me spent hours with Speck 12

day. Now the real Speck
I do not spend my time. Ie I
all look practically all under
emulsion.

Andy Fer> Yeah, right! He now
convertible to my collection with real drives in the TRD and 
SCL images. It may be that we have this collection someday 
somewhere will publish. I just podobranay high-quality 
releases, ie from 2'h - 3'h releases in my collection one

but the highest quality. In my
think this is one of the most advanced collections.

Maddy> Half of the collection is already
ready.

Elf> And how much time it took?

Maddy> Month, about an hour in
day. Previously, after sitting through 12
hours. And now I have a family, and
is in fact imposes moral
obligations. Ie I want to say
not even how many responsibilities, and
how it should be first
turn a man into the joy ...

Andy Fer> You mean
that you spend an hour with the SPECA
why it is you have 12 times less than the joy it used to? Yes no
whip! Do not drive!

Looker> people, in any case,
Do something. And that after we die and
not manage their own affairs pozavershat.

Maddy> Back to "Iron".
If these two little things - the final and the fifth level will 
be translated, then I Put it all together somewhere for two

weeks. Since cracktro to mind
will bring Andy Fer, I gladly give him all the powers, ie, 
design, soundtrack ... 

Andy Fer> Wait a minute! Design
always developed collectively so that the filter market,
Mr. Maddy.

Elf> We have, in principle, dizayn, too, is done jointly.

Maddy> As for other projects
they are in a state of suspended animation and reincarnate
them out is very difficult.
Possible, of course, in a break up
release "48 irons," we pronostalgiruem and release
any crack old toys. Now I am again, in principle,
repeat last year's conversation.

Elf> The scene is sometimes necessary to show what a quality
release.

Maddy> Well, yes. If something is
new and exciting-compulsory
release. I just now want to talk about new releases,
Of course, I do not want to call
specific names.

Elf> Yes and everything is clear. Little
After all, who does what.

Maddy> Well, yes. So these people
produced crack releases two and a half years ago and their work 
has been interesting for me. Of course, many people - so many 
opinions, but my view, the quality of releases has fallen below 
zero. I find it very insulting.


Andy Fer> Moreover, technology
develop.

Maddy> Technology rose
opportunities for self-actualization
more, and access to the network now
more real. Ie opportunity
find high-quality corporate
release, hack, cultivate and
release it now appeared at
masses of people. But in the crack
Now everything has fallen ...

Andy Fer> And I will tell you why - I
I think because of the demand for the releases.
Previously, new and rare games were
not readily available, and if the person produces quality 
crack, it could easily earn a good reputation, satisfy

vanity. Now, in my opinion,
high-quality release is needed in the first degree to the 
person. Therefore, such releases are now a rarity. 

Maddy> The principle of competition,
of course, gone. And when there is no competition, this, of 
course, less interested in doing. 

Andy Fer> In my opinion, he stayed with a few commands in the 
form the principle of quality.


Elf> Yes, yes. Some of the people themselves
do not want to lower their bar,
which they had once reached.

Maddy> And some do both
have, as they can, and even
do not try to apply the new things in their releases, which
Now, in principle, readily available for study. In principle,
this subject can be tryndet indefinitely.

Andy Fer> Simply, if every
realizes that the good releases
nice to watch, but shit is bad
smells, the quality of releases will increase.

Elf> I have heard that Raver was unhappy with your release of 
"12 secret books" and "Pussy". He wanted make rerelease. You can

as a comment on this?

Maddy> All, in my opinion started
with Heresy, in which it was written that "crack is not 
complete and no missing two hidden parts. "Original" 12 secret 
books "were brought Andrew Fer'om.


Andy Fer> By the way, this is nowhere
was not specified in the release of "Phantasy".

Maddy> Originally the game took a drive with a standard
MS-DOS'nym, in my opinion, the location of sectors - 720 kb. 
Were two hidden parts. The first hidden

Part rehearsed, when it is not found on the disc write 
protection "FUCK". The second was caused by

button "6", as I recall.
It was a digital music from the demo with
DI-HALT'a which Ash'em and exhibited. Little point in
that embed all this in the crack,
I think not.

Andy Fer> I want to note that
Mad about the existence of these parts
knew and did not get them in
This release is quite deliberately.

Maddy> Raver, not understanding
in the heart of the matter, said the "Born
Dead "" If I knew about it,
would have said Maddy, that all parts
insert should be. "From this it follows that if he did not know 
all the nuances, it is generally nothing to do with affairs in 
this release ratio almost does not matter. Simply, we

published under his label and use ready intro to the game
"Piggy", to provide them.

Elf> And at the expense of "Pussy"?

Maddy> Raver'u it is sent by well-known LCD. Svapper, who 
bought it from Razzlers, ie all distribution rights

"Pussy" Razzlers Fatality and passed him.

Andy Fer> Ie toy came from
publisher'a to cracker'u directly. ;-) I do not believe that 
the publisher did not know who the Raver and after that will be.


Maddy> Publisher any claims against us does not show. The point
that Raver made a cunning move
he wrote in the LCD and the Phantasy
therefore obliged to send
"Pussy" to him.

Elf> Intrigue, as I look
interesting.

Maddy> Once it is me
hit, I knew the next day,
that it can be shrunk to a single disk.
My work in "Pussy" was not
how technical, how much was to collect statistics. Ie
that how long it takes and how it is then a compact place.

Elf> And what exactly dissatisfied
Raver in connection with this release?

Maddy> He clearly dissatisfied
that "Pussy" was published under the label
Phantom Family, and not Phantasy.
Second - after she was
zarelizhena, it is approximately
month tells me that the version
this part. Ie I like it when it
sent - he said that she
full time, do as much as possible
faster. Later he wrote me,
provided that in its earlier
version omits the firm
instruction and no corporate carpet - scanned with kassetki
cover. I say - "What are the problems? If they do you have, 
then put it into zip, came to me and you will have full 
version. "No. He says, that the release is necessary to change, 
put the intro Phantasy and, of course, rebuild everything. To 
which I replied that to do it will not.


Elf> This was after the first release was available to all?

Maddy> Naturally. It was
after the CC has - somewhere in September.
After that, there is twisted
Another intriguing. I do not remember exactly
could have Faster'a ask ...

Elf> He's gone already.

Maddy> Yeah, okay. As it happened,
Faster that offered their services for remaking "Pussy". Ie
the first thing it did not suit is
# 3d13 loader. As is known, I
made to work for everybody. On
Reale, the emulsion, etc. Faster
proposed that the turbo loader, I
I say - for God's sake. But I do all this
routine work to re-do not
wanted, so did loader
it Faster. I just do not see
sense in geym release do turbo
load - the time is not
crucially, not a demo after all. No offense to Faster'u, but in 
my opinion it is it was just stupidity. When I learned about 
this Ravah, he naturally had recourse to his services. 
Incidentally, the version Faster'a not contain any turbo 
loader'a nor cover, only appeared disk catalogue design, 
narisovany D-Man'om - all this they have it

stopped. Ie when Ravah
asked me to make a second
release, I naturally refused.
It turns out that he was offended by the fact
that the release was made under leeyblom Phantom Family. He 
told me this never forgive, and I

turn, will not forgive him then, as
He entered with "12 secret books."
Someone may poschiat "Pussy"
as a kickback, but it is not. Just seems to me that I returned 
it it to "land" from the height of his

"Flight".

Elf> As I understand it, at the moment
in Phantasy you're not a member?

Maddy> None. First Phantasy
too phantom label - zilch
and all here.

Elf> Basically, I agree. After
from them in recent years has been
Nothing, except what you have done.

Maddy> Yes, all the latest releases
except for "Subliminal Extasy", were made by me.

Andy Fer> I still want to reiterate that the quality crack is 
never done by one person. Above all, this team thing

We all took part in it,
so the label is quite logical. If anyone wants - maybe with
I'll bet. For example, if release of "12 books" we do not even 
consisted of "Fantasia." Just this release, when all was ready, 
went out under this label. 

Elf> What can you tell us about your label, "Intensions Matrix",
under which nothing ever came out? Well, unless in addition to 
music and graphics.


Andy Fer> Actually, it was an attempt to bring together 
talented people. Team work were presented at the CC000, to

Unfortunately, despite all the issues that were guys just 
matured, they have appeared other interests. Nevertheless, we

trying to attract young people,
albeit from the pc. We are here
brought the work of Dj El'a in multichannel traditional music
compo.Ya hope that the work on
pc will continue.

Elf> Under the label "Intensions
Matrix "?

Andy Fer> No, I have decided to return to "PhF". I thought a 
lot over proposals (which I received) to go under another label,

but in the end decided to go back
to the roots. It's like a family.

Elf> In principle this is correct, I
I think.

Maddy> In principle, the period 98-00,
distinguished by black, deaf and
hopeless. Probably why we have
above thoughts were
in their heads, but now a dark band has passed and we again 
began to engage with our joint projects. We still have not 
relizhenye developments, in particular, many Simm'a things - he 
is our Best algoritmist. He mainly dealt with packing ...


Elf> Everyone remembers his packer.

Maddy> and a packer, and some other things ready to eat.

Elf> And he's going back to
Speck?

Maddy> Unfortunately, probably
no. But in his time, he for us
pretty much did what we
all love him. Now, he deliberately lost all contact with us.
I still can not understand why
he did it because there were no conflicts and excesses
people just broke with the past,
as he himself says.

Elf> intentionally?

Maddy> Yes. And he did it originally, ie, if the break with
past, then it must be done completely, but he broke up with only
past and its Spectrum
people who are with Spectrum
them engaged.

Andy Fer> We have to continue
respect and I would like to
from the pages of it Adventurer'a
found out.

Maddy> We do not know until the end
the real motives behind this act,
I hope after reading it, he's with us
contact, as we all this innuendo is very unpleasant.

Elf> case you do not know whether he is engaged in for-profit
creativity? Let the other
platform.

Andy Fer> He is responsible for programming, if it mnozhno 
called creativity, but I think he nothing nowhere releases.


Elf> Tell us about drv.

Andy Fer> I wrote him a letter
Four days before the party, he said that
does not have time to come to CAFe, but
going vysalt 4k intro. Unfortunately, probably not in time. And
other works, it was not.

Elf> What is your attitude toward demonstrated yesterday demam?

Andy Fer> I would single out the work
Skreamer'a - very fresh.

Maddy> By the way, have long wanted to raise the following 
question. No offense to Progress'am. Yesterday reconsidered 
"S4B". This, of course, classic, but classic enough

hackneyed that the demo just become boring. Of course it is a 
unique, cool, wonderful, they just

Well done. They were the first who made
Owned by the subtlest fix the music. But it should have a look
again, well, two. But to both drive
it on different party, as it does
Unbeliever, from party to party, turning it into a cult - it is 
peretransformatsiya a fetish, ie, all already know that Max is 
now put "S4B" and that's cool, but in fact it has very few 
people interesting. I understand that at every party there are 
people who have not seen her, but not worth it, not

is similarly litter
our brains.

Elf> At this time, in my opinion, he did
for the Finns showed.

Maddy> Maybe, but not in this
case. The team is called Progress, and this demo from year to 
year spinning, no progress

does not show.

Andy Fer> If we talk about new
demos, then I repeat myself, but I will say,
that "Summermilk" look
simply awesome - a breath of fresh
air.

Elf> I do not argue, it was separated
design, new to the Spectrum,
although some effect is still
traced, for example recall some things from the Replay to the 
pc. 

Andy Fer> It does not matter where,
importantly - how to look.

Elf> I think that is about to begin
combination of technology and advanced design finally. Maybe
return to oldschool not hurt, but at a new level.

Maddy> This is good, God forbid!
him to sink into it, which is now caught Placebo. Here take the 
engine Sair00s'a - it is virtually unchanged for four years and 
I have not feel of the shocks, as

from "Napalm" or "Dogma". This
comparable with the sequels of films
cool, but you already saw and
imagine what awaits you. Not
argue - Sair00s simply genius
but it is the monotony nadaedaet. I
talking about what a masterpiece should
be unique and should not do it
clones, and even more not to do
clones of his masterpiece.

Andy Fer> Incidentally, the same
observed in the music compo, unfortunately. I was on preselekte 
and AY and listened to mp3 compos, immediately

I say - it was hard to listen to the AY
within an hour, but no less difficult
to listen to mp3 for that
same hours, with mp3 compo listened to less crowded. In my 
opinion, this is due to the fact that all

work openly resemble each
another, and nothing new. So far, so it's more boring.
Let the best would be something original, even with the worst 
technique, but I think it will take for

its highest point of novelty.

Elf> Well, okay. Do you generally optimistic outlook for 
further work. I hope we will see interesting releases from

you.

Maddy> We, too, nA is hope ;-) Very, very!


Company NetSpec - without
problems translate.

Elf> It should be that people knew
English very well, preferably with slang. Cool
it should be.

Maddy> Now we are back
a conversation last year. These
word I said.

AndInterview with Eye-Q
elph / CPU

Despite the departure Time Keeper'a
the army, Eye-Q still did DeMouy that in my opinion is
great importance for the team.
That's what I wanted a little
talk to Organizm'om and Leopart'om.

Elf> Yesterday we saw from you DeMouy,
and I think that for you it's pretty significant step, because
Last year you had not completed the
nothing. In this regard, I want to
ask: what are your plans for
the near future?

Leopart> Maybe in the next
year we will also exhibit
DeMouy, if at some party
be.

Elf> Yes will certainly need something that will.

Leopart> So this is the work of expose. I'll put music
on mi ...

Elf> And the music that you Deme
wrote?

Leopart> No, it Ice'n'Green. I
more music on the Spectrum is not
I write, I am now on the PC.

Elf> Are you on the Spectrum
something to do?

Leopart> So, I'm just helping
doing demos on the Spectrum, and
Basically I do nothing more
I'm doing. Previously, he wrote on the Spectrum music kodil, 
hacked ... 

Elf> Well, understandable. You told me once that you are going 
to play project some still do it?


Organizm> Rather, we are likely
personally, I'm going to do ...

Elf> Well, you're someone will probably make the schedule, 
there is something more ...


Organizm> Apparently, the schedule will
do myself, why we have an artist there and find it nowhere.
While ... Well, what about games that I can
say ... Since I'm doing one,
when released, can not promise. I
try as quickly as possible,
'll keep you posted.

Elf> Yes, definitely write!

Organizm> No demos
Of course not.

Elf> You still in the group is
Some people who are at Speke now doing something? I once knew
here this DeMouy for the most part you
one did well and the music you just gave?

Organizm> One effect is not mine,
Miracle (Nuts) made it - there is such a stick in real-time 
Dangle ... 

Elf> A-ah, well, well, well, well, well,
understand ...

Organizm> Well, the music, of course, also did not me. Graphics 
have converted. 

Elf> That is, roughly speaking, three people participated?

Organizm> Well, more than three.
Others helped with the fixes that brought beer, and so on ...

Elf> In general, all possible support to implement ... Well, in 
the Actually, in general terms, you are to me

said the whole topic. Most importantly,
that you continue to do something.
I hope in the future from you as well
demos to see. Home again, of course,
all look more real ...
