THE ASCII SCENE IS DEAD
It feels like the demo scene has almost forgotten the latest heroes
ascii. So, ascii-artist myself, I will fight until
until they finally answer my question: “Is the ascii scene dead?”
If you are interested in the ascii scene, then you might discover
for myself some things that I didn’t know about before. And if you
don't care or you don't even know what this is about
article, then read it anyway - because you are in such
case, part of the mechanism that is destroying the spirit of ascii today. Yes,
There will be no pathos, only the pure truth about our killers.
So keep reading if your heart is set on the stage,
since ascii is part of the scene and we just want to see,
that this part is still alive.
So? The demo scene is developing on several platforms and
looks good enough, at least for now. Yes
Why am I worried? I'm worried about you because the main
the problem with ascii is not that it is smallstagers,
support or missing spirit of the ascii scene. No! It's all there.
The trouble is that there are no sceners who would claim the results
our labor. We are doing this for nothing and for no one! You can
imagine that?
Yes, yes, it’s not the ascii scene itself that’s dead, it’s dead
scene-ascii-consumers. One gets the impression that this
no one needs art anymore. There are no demosceners asking
make a logo or voting sheet. Wherever
are used ascii-logos you will find, by and large, the old
graphics that were drawn by people who had long since retired.
Isn't it moronic when there are young and energetic people everywhere?
artists who want to do this? I hear moaning everywhere
ascii-artists: "Please ask for something... At least
one logo! Please...", but in the end it turns out that
Only other ascii-artists ask for graphics from ascii-artists.
There is no point in continuing this, given the beauty and expressiveness
many ascii collections.
What's the matter? Today there are a lot of "Readme" or "Nfo", even
"file_id.diz" come out without any ascii-logo at all, and if there is one,
that was more than two years ago. Some groups even
use file_id.diz, which appeared many, many years ago.
The logos are the same always and everywhere. You can say that I'm not
such a cool ascii artist and I will answer,that it is so, but I
I communicate with many ascii-artists and I know that the trouble is not due to
that I'm not such a good artist to do this
figure it out. Even legendary stagers are going to abandon
ascii because no one is asking them for new graphics. And if you
When you offer someone a new design or logo, you hear:
"Hmm, what's wrong with the old one? Why change it" or "Of course, in
next time!" It hurts me to see the same ones for several years
logos on BBS.
It's no wonder that today's ascii artists are lazy, and
once legendary artists stop making art for the stage altogether
anything new.
I suggested to many people how many times to draw ascii, and in
in the end they asked me for several logos, and only half of them
those who asked, used them! I also found out - if not
keep in mind that many stagers are not even aware of
the existence of an ascii scene - something many simply don't dare
ask for a logo or two even from such a modest ascii knight,
like me! But why is that? Make logos and designs in ascii for everything
what you need for your products is our job. This is what it's for
We, ascii-artists, exist! This is our meaning in life. How can we
live differently?
If the scene continues to ignore ascii, then I
I'll be surprised if one day there's an ascii scene
will really die! So -go ahead, ask for something
draw from the nearest ascii-artist. Pump out fresh ones
collections and search, ask for what you need! Visit www.
thuglife.org find on scenet.de other sites... You don't
you'll regret it!
