Session Start: Mon Dec 09 02:33:05 2002 <kq\skrju>hi! i wanted to ask you some questions, may i? <BriteLite>hi. hit me :) <kq\skrju>it's about your cooperation with haujobb <BriteLite>ok <kq\skrju>as you maybe know i'm zx-spectrum addict, so i'm interested in zx sceneprogress. one of the main theme of our e-mag new nuber is multiplatform groups. as you already have got a work in cooperation with haujobbyou can tell me a lot of interesting things ^_^ <BriteLite>:) <kq\skrju>how did it all began?! i mean, haujobbers just came to you and said: 'hey, we want to start haujobb on c64 section, so lets make a demo!',or ..? <BriteLite>it all started at some party when Droid/Haujobbtold me he wanted to learn c64-coding and maybe do a c64-demo... so we've had the idea for maybe 1-2 years before My Kondom was made... <kq\skrju>oho! <BriteLite>then later (while being very drunk), I promised Droidthat I would make a Haujobbdemo for asm2002:) <kq\skrju>do you know, what was the point in c64, why droid wanted to start c64 department?i mean, not atari, not msx but c64? <BriteLite>well, c64 is probably the best known and famous 8bit-platfrom here in Finland. <kq\skrju>oh! you're from one contry?! <BriteLite>yeah, we're both Finnish. <kq\skrju>hehe;] <kq\skrju>does haujobbknow something about zx-spectrum? <BriteLite>well, they probably know that the zx-spectrum scene exists... but there's not that many Spectrums around here in Finland. c64 and amiga dominated the market here (in 80's and early 90's) <kq\skrju>hm <BriteLite>I've got some spectrums ofcourse, but haven't got any Pentagons, so I've watched all demos on emulator <kq\skrju>what did you think, is there a chance that any pc/ amiga/c64 group will start zx-spectrumsection? <BriteLite>probably not in Finland atleast, as there aren't that many spectrums available... Dekadencemay get a speccy- section if I can bother to learn some z80-asm ;) <kq\skrju>have you seen last zx demos, from cafe2002? <BriteLite>yeah, I've got them here... can't remember how they looked though :) <kq\skrju>hehe <kq\skrju>in your opinion, is spectrum lost for the world-demo- scene? <BriteLite>not really. but most people who own speccys don't even have diskdrives... and most new speccydemos require Pentagon, so that's a second problem <kq\skrju>some emulators do their job perfect. btw i use emulator in my work ^_^ <BriteLite>ofcourse, if speccydemos would get shown on more european parties, then maybe some people would gain some interest... but most PC-sceners atleast don't even know of the Russian speccyscene. <kq\skrju>i think, what if we'll try to combine c64 and zx- spectrum democompos on european parties? i mean, we've got some kicking groups now, i think we will be able to compete with c64. <BriteLite>yeah... I've actually been afraid of the possibility that someone would bring speccydemos to the Assemblyoldskool- competition ;) <kq\skrju>oh! there is a possibility of this in rules?! <BriteLite>ofcourse. "bring your own hardware" <kq\skrju>damn! thats oh great! <BriteLite>the rules state that the machine should have been available prior to 1990, so regular 48k and 128k speccys would qualify... dunno about Pentagon though <kq\skrju>^_^ <kq\skrju>hm, and there must be a man, who will bring a real machine to party? <BriteLite>I have a 128k speccy (+2) so I can atleast show demos from tape. <kq\skrju>hm... tape is not that kewl <BriteLite>I know <BriteLite>but I haven't got a diskdrive <kq\skrju>and if i'll send pentagon to one person (it's Exin), how do you think, is it ok, i mean is pentagon oldskool enough? ^_^ <BriteLite>when was the Pentagon released? <kq\skrju>hm... dunno realy, maybe in 89-92, but i'm not sure <BriteLite>ok. well, I think it would be accepted :) <kq\skrju>have you seen our last demo, 'summermilk'? what do you think of it? <BriteLite> hmmh, was it the one with singlecolors filled vectors? <kq\skrju>yes! <BriteLite>yeah, it was nice... I liked the design. <kq\skrju>how do you think, could that demo compete with c64 demos on asm02? <BriteLite>why not... but it's ofcourse safer to make demos more PC-like, to get votes from newskool-people. <kq\skrju>but demos by replayhad no fx-show, i.e. BOOKS,but they did won the compos. <BriteLite>yeah... but at least on Assembly it has always been the most PC-like c64-demos that have won... ofcourse demos on "exotic"platforms have a better chance than c64-demos <kq\skrju>but our point is not to win the compo but to show the platform ;] <BriteLite>yeah... would be really cool to see some speccydemos at assembly <kq\skrju>are you working on some cooperation with haujobbnow? <BriteLite>not at the moment... <kq\skrju>oh, have you seen that demo by gasmanat asm02?!it was in wild-compo <BriteLite>yeah, he showed it to me :) but now I have to go to bed... see you later <kq\skrju>g'night ^_^ Session Close: Mon Dec 09 03:25:08 2002
