interview with Shafft^Color of Magic (aka Shafft
from Brothers:), taken by рlч1d (aka Blade:)
on channel #z8o what's in the vastness of irc...           
                                                
:##%############:: Interview 1 ::###########%##:
                                                
<рlч1d> I decided to interview you. %) ready?  
 uh huh                                   
<рлч1d> let's go. so please introduce yourself   
 I am Schafft - gfx'maker. in groups      
          Color of Magic and Brothers.           
<рлч1d> this is you in computer life Shafft,     
        and in real life?                              
 :) in real life I am a simple VkhU student      
          Alexander Viktorovich Trofimchuk        
<рlч1d> well, well, don’t swear, what does VxU mean?     
 :) VkhU-Vladivostok art 
          School, but that's not the worst thing,    
          II'm studying to become an adult :)                     
<рлч1d> I’m even afraid to find out your future          
        profession... who will you be?             
 This is deciphered quite simply -
          picturesque pedagogical department,   
          and nothing more.                       
<рлч1d> that is, you are fond of painting,          
        young man?                        
 but what about?                             
<рlч1d> very useful, it’s a good profession, tell me   
        me Schafft, you draw on the Spectrum    
        better than on paper, or vice versa?      
        Sorry, you write, not draw           
 hmm.. a very difficult question. I'm going to my people  
          I am critical of my work - I     
 it's hard to judge whether this is good or bad    
          (if it is not clearly expressed). but,      
          others also like my oil works,
          and Spekovskys.                         
<рlч1d> okay, where is it easier for you to draw?    
 on paper is naturally easier.         
<рlч1d> well, not a fact. for example GAS1e confessed     
        that it’s easier for him to draw on the Spectrum   
        than on paper.                          
 are completely different instruments.    
          for example, which is easier: carve it out of wood
          or sculpt from metal?..               
                                                
<рлч1d> tell us how old you were when you started        
        draw?                               
 where exactly? on Speck or real?       
<рlч1d> well, in general, when did you feel        
what can you do?                           
 I still remember kindergarten... when others    
          helped :)                            
<рлч1d> wooow. In general, this is clearly your calling. 
        ok, tell me a little about how you are   
        started creating on the Spectrum              
 ooooh, it's a long story, but I       
          I'll try... I won't say like you   
          Speck appeared on me (this story is still  
          longer). I remember the first time I launched 
          Art Studio in the year 95-9b. then by
          when I was a child I drew a banal landscape
          from simple figures (as I remember now -  
          it was a house with a pipe and a fence).    
<рлч1d> and this matter really bothered you.       
        took a long time to learn the tricks of construction      
        drawing?                                
 studied both on paper and on  
          screen. brought something from the way   
          drawing on paper on the screen and something
          on the contrary. I achieved it in 2 years     
          desired results, but all I   
          I did it on Specki then - they were only b/w
<рлч1d>as far as I remember, you exhibited at    
        CAfe'2oo2, is that so?                     
 of course                               
<рлч1d> what place did you take?                      
 an honorable second, for a long time I have been striving for  
          the first three (performing under different   
          nicknames on different parties)               
<рлч1d> was this your first prize?    
 yes, my maximum place was - b   
          on Chaos Construction'999             
<рлч1d> how many parties have you been to before?    
 starting from CC999, every year on        
          some kind of large party, before the current one 
          year.                                 
<рлч1d> exactly came, do I understand correctly?   
 I was only at CAfe'2oo2. made myself
          birthday gift :) and before  
          The financial situation did not allow me to travel.
                                                
<рlч1d> by the way, CAfe'2oo2 was also our first 
        party. %) it’s strange that we didn’t meet, but
        doesn't matter. by the way, tell me, I think     
        people will be interested.                 
 about what?                                
<рлч1d> how long did it take you to get to Kazan?
 uuuuu                                 
<рлч1d> and how much money was spent on this so that people
        so to speak, knew his ownheroes%)        
 this is a very long story.           
<рlч1d> well, in a nutshell, in numbers%)             
 I won’t tell you about it - all this   
          will be published in Gothiq issue #1.
          everyone will read the global article there 
          about our journey, but briefly:     
          there - 5 days, back - b. money     
          spent - (all three) half the amount
          which the organizers themselves spent    
          CAfe at the party.                         
<рлч1d> hehe, this is super simple!             
        What is a Gothiq issue? huh?.. :)       
 is a new Vladivostok publication -   
          art e-paper dedicated to art on 
          Spectrum.                            
<рлч1d> and how soon will it be released?                 
We'll release  at the beginning of 2oo. now I have     
 messed up with the session :(                    
                                                
<рлч1d> tell us a little about your group         
 which one exactly? :) I'm in two groups   
          I'm coming in                                 
<рlч1d> both about this and that, multidisciplinary,      
        you are mine :)                               
 verses. :) first group - Brothers
          It includes me and my brother troll.      
          we are doingtogether for a very long time. for  
          for the last two or three years we have        
          many projects started, but     
          after some time they abandoned
          (demo versions of these projects will be       
          published in Gothic), and began 
          new. troll constantly shocked our 
          Vlad-scene (probably it can be like this     
 say) transitions from one steep   
          programs to another - cooler. :) but  
          yet not one of these projects was
          finished. and yet in 2oo2 we     
          gathered strength and began work on Abe's
          Mission to take part in      
          "Your Game" competition. many already could
          check her out.                          
<рлч1d> Whose idea was it to make this game?         
 the fact that it will be an arcade is mine, and
          game - troll.                       
<рлч1d> how long did it take to play the game?           
 almost a year. happened during this time   
          a lot of ups and downs, with     
          which the thought occurred to me that the game 
          will not be done, but... still we     
          did it!                          
<рlч1d> i.e. you didn't time the game for this    
        competition?                               
 at first no, but still they persuaded ustake part, and the game was abandoned   
          Axor at the very last moment :)     
 hehe. and who persuaded?                   
 our whole Vlad-scene, but at the head was  
          SityAceE :) our ardent organizer      
          Vlad-spektrumist parties :)         
                                                
<рlч1d> here... now let's talk about     
        Color of Magic and your Vladoscene.      
        you know, sometimes people often ask me,   
        what about schafft^color of magic? this is     
        by any chance a diver? and if not, then where from? 
        did he come up with such drawings? that's it  
        There were no more questions like this, come on,   
 start %)                              
 we appeared like a jack-in-the-box  
          :) sat at home in Vladivostok and    
          We looked at what was happening in the West. but
          somehow they couldn’t stand it and thought,  
          "Why are we just sitting here?       
          let's do something!" and it started   
          all this after some time  
          since I started visiting the local    
          spektrumist party. and since,     
          Besides me, there are no artists in Vladik   
          was, then nothing was done.  
          there at a meeting I met one  
          personwho now calls himself
          DemiChron. it was he who suggested it to me    
          write a game, but what kind, he himself has not yet
          knew. then I suggested one to him      
 strategy - he looked at it, said,  
          what rules, and decided to do it, but      
          Of course, changing it at will. yes
          we started work - I made graphics,         
          DemiChron - codes...                   
<рlч1d> was it 2oo1?                       
 oh, no. this was almost 5 years ago.   
<рlч1d> and you say it took a year to write the game?             
 we wrote Abe's Mission for a year, and        
          We are still doing this strategy :) 
<рlч1d> So you’re still writing a strategy? which one  
        and what will you call it?                         
 working title (or rather          
          final) War Games. I can only 
          add that this will not be entirely     
          usual strategy. I won't say anymore -
          secret. by the way, Color of Magic on       
 DemiChron does not end,         
          continue? :)                        
<рлч1d> yes, yes, of course                          
                                                
 soon a guy wandered into our party.
          He said he had problems with his computer.DemiChron helped him. u between          
          through conversations I found out that he too      
          draws on Speck, and asked to show  
          their works... Works of that time,   
          were, to put it mildly, not very good... but I   
          nevertheless, I decided that this could be corrected and began
          engage with him, help him, etc.
          It was I who encouraged him to start at that time
          draw color pictures and taught    
          gradient, everything else        
          I learned it myself.                         
<рlч1d> and it was keyser soze?                  
 he has already reached my level than me     
          very pleased, but the graphics are not    
          his only passion is      
          also plays music. exactly this one     
          the guy is none other than keyser 
          soze.                                 
<рlч1d> tell me, schafft, after CAfe'2oo2 not      
        have you thought about writing a demo?      
 we thought, but if anything happens, I won’t  
          talk.                             
<рлч1d> means you can secretly hope that      
        will there ever be a demo from you?         
 hmm... one can always hope, but here   
          will we want to? our coders (DemiChron 
          and Shredder) are not very keen on     
          writing a demo.                       
<рlч1d> your task is to persuade them. %) why are they 
        don't want to write a demo? they don't like it    
        demo building, or believe that not       
        will they pull?                               
 they like to watch, but all the time    
          any talk about demo projects       
          stopped. although we wanted to go to the cafe    
          bring a cool Wild demo, but not
          We managed to do everything :(                 
<рлч1d> what was there in this demo?               
 it had to be small        
          Spekov animation recorded under  
          music that was played along with
          Winamp. I also want to talk about      
          the last member of our group...       
                                                
<рlч1d> feel free %) Is this Shredder?                
 yeah                                   
<рлч1d> how did you find it?                       
 is Shredder - he doesn't live in         
          Vladivostok, and in Bolshoy Kamen       
          (several hours drive). but we have it     
          refer to our scene. He entered   
          Color of Magic just recently. he    
          very similar to my brother troll -  
          He's always trying new things     
          projects, although he is in no hurry to failold. sometimes strategy, sometimes arcade, sometimes   
          fighting game is a global man. now  
          he works with us, with me and keyser
          soze, newspaper - made us a shell
          is doing something at the same time        
          project, but keeps it secret. here in
          principle and everything about our group. yet    
 questions?                              
<рлч1d> plans for the future?                       
 finish the first issue of the Gothic, and      
          release him. get started    
          the second part of Abe's Mission. continue
          work on War Games. u accept       
          participation in some major party :) 
<рlч1d> tell me, do you have, besides Spectrum, 
        other computers?                      
 of course, in parallel with Scorpion 25b 
          I'm worth a decrepit h8b car,    
          very convenient for emulation. on it    
          most of the work happens       
          especially with graphics.                  
<рlч1d> Do you want to move to another platform?  
Absolutely nothing. work for me
          computer is an art. and when   
 if you do art, you want    
          feedback from the viewer - I want to see,  
          hear his reaction. it's much better for me 
          it's more convenient to doon Spectrum.        
<рлч1d> everything is clear, thanks for the interview and such
        optimism for the stage                        
 was very glad to talk              
<рлч1d> I think you will surprise everyone more than once     
        with your works!                        
 we will try :)

 yes, definitely, but if there is time       
            will allow it to be developed       
<рлч1d> do you observe the development (if it is 
        can you call it that) Spectrum scenes?      
 I try to stay informed, but         
            lately, unfortunately, notit always works out                   
<рлч1d> tell me, just honestly, about you at all       
        Are you even a little interested in Spectrum?       
 of course I’m interested, otherwise why would I   
            a couple of days ago he got a new monitor
            did you buy it? :)                           
<рлч1d> woow! does this mean that you can  
        expect something interesting?          
 I won't promise anything. that's if 
 if I could be cloned -    
            then it's a different matter :) but really    
            nothing is ruled out, everything       
            depends on time                  
                                                
<рlч1d> and if they turn to you for help in    
        coding, can you help?

            :) although it still depends    
            whatever they ask :)

 as it became known from reliable sources:  
                                                
1. Uncle-Diver has been loving everything about drinking lately.
reduce conversations into discussions about fagots, 
sometimes annoying his blue friends.        
                                                
2. the notorious kool^Jeez and Spiro were noticed
us in a very warm, I would even say intimate
conversation on the channel #z8о.rus. What causes such
feelings for each other, none of the suspects
explained.                                       
                                                
e. Pastor^triumph is now a subscriber
three cellular companies - uraltel,mts & mega-
fon, for which he received universal recognition as a “mo-
bail maniac of the city of Chelyabinsk."                 
                                                
h.itsy is the happy owner of rare,
collectible slippers in the form of two large, cute
pink pigs with tails, ears and the rest
belongings.  as the Tsitsoy himself says, he got
It's a pleasure to stick your feet in these
beautiful animals...                            
                                                
5. tiden^Delirium tremens announced the opening
new portal dedicated to Glass and others
fenki of this group.                            
                                                
b. The release of Krik-e is postponed for a short time due to
with acute attacks of diarrhea in Skreemah. despite
that damn diarrhea limits
Skryma's movements with "toilet-corridor" type trips,
the latter still chose a period of time and
briefly escaped into the vastness of the Internet to
inform everyone about your trouble.                     
                                                
7. According to Madix, he is not satisfied with the current
releases of games from triumph & Slider^BIS. Due to
this makes it possible that the master of gaming is still
back2spekk and let everyone suck. as they say
"Whatever is not done is for the better" :)8. On my own behalf, I can add that everyone who doesn’t
the scene is indifferent, you need to strain yourself and still
send your cream to Antique toy.  otherwise
It may well be that compo will simply declare “not
successful", which will be very offensive (as for
power, and for those people who have already sent
whether your works).                                
                                                
9. As a dessert: there are some reasons why
believe that Cyberpunks unity will please us in
this goat year with a new demo!!! how could you
read above, key-Jee will soon return from the army, and
it is possible that triebkraft will also condescend to
something no less stunning. I even think
This is still worth living for.                      
                                                
 and of course, happy new year to you all,     
                brothers and sisters!                
        let all your dreams come true...        
                                                
hope then see you at CAfe'2ooe
