History of the creation of Boom Megademo
(AAA)
I’ll write right away that this demo does not pretend to be
for some prizes and awards, it was written
not for demonstration in party mode. This
pure old-school demo that was made for
souls. In those days when a bunch of arrogant ones
spektrumists hiding behind imaginary rules -
our demoscenes, which by the way are simply not
exists in nature, tries to ban
anything to do for beginners, we just showed
that we are still alive and have the right to create
miracle!
Production of this mega demo began with
the fact that I have accumulated a huge archive
1bit format pictures (black and white) with
Apple computer. I found the graphics very
beautiful and I wanted to show her off
on the Spectrum, naturally pre-
carefully colored. I've planed a few
options on different topics for demo in black
white version, but invariably with a general horror
teak slope. Europeans, they are basically
nom inquisitors and graphics on apple
its plot is scary with elements
sadism. At first I wanted to make a Moon Demo
for a new sound card along with Mick, but
he is exhausted by "Narzan" after communicating with
moderators on the sleep and rest forum
demoscenes" - zx pk ru. In short Mick
politely refused. I quickly forwarded
inscription on Boot Megademo and suggested sleep-
I wanted to make Goblin and then Kalantay
boot megademofrom a selection of the best bots.
And then a refusal due to the hellish work of hacking
boot and their connection. I was upset.
Cried. Suffered.
Months passed, the Goblin tore from morning to night
kraktro, and I put them on the site and figured it out
with the forum. I painted in the evenings, really
slowly, eagerly... Then to the Goblin
tired of tearing up cracktro and we decided to do
megademo. But first they stuffed it full
"I don't want" (5 pieces) facto hype for
warm-up. After a long break for me personally
I had to remember how to make sprites in
gif animator krak 5.0. I always emphasize
pay attention to the word crack, because I’m trying
use only pirated products and
I never pay money for software. This is software
I have to pay for the fact that I benefit them -
I am. Having spent all the ugly pictures and
simple gifs on fakes, while remembering
the basics of "sprite construction" began to draw phases
sprites for the new megademo. Title
decided to remake it in boom because
The picture with the earth has been redone for the third time -
was ready for a new project. And the word boot is simpler
turn into boom. Taking into account the fact that the letter
I have already done “M” in the version with Moon)) Yes
I don’t know if the word Boom is in English.
In the end, the point is not in the name, but in
simplicity of writing)) For some reason the words
I'm bad at names. C
I look with envy at Sand's graphics and him
similar ones with beautiful beech logos.
First part of megademoborn in five
minutes. Reworked picture of the village plus
sprite girls from the pixel site even without
making changes. Goblin Quest
the difficult thing is to make a unique scroll in the form
rivers with bends flowing from bottom to top, as in
Georgia. There really is a river there
flows uphill and no one knows how
is happening. To my surprise Goblin
coped with the scrolling overnight. Then part
finished the job, spent a long time looking for a suitable font
for scrolling, but the main frame was made
quickly.
The second part with the monitor and what was happening
in it the trach turned out quickly only in
my dreams. It was implemented entirely in
at the very end of the demo, after creating all
parts. Most likely due to difficulty
manufacturing. After all, trachma in the monitor
the real thing is happening. Sprites in quantity
10 pieces depicting different effects,
which the Goblin had to collect under
the music was drawn almost by hand. We walked
weeks of work and then a miracle happened!
Unexpectedly, my text on the forum is about
what scoundrels everyone except me has had its way
action. A certain Dichlorvos (his real name is
hid it so that his own wouldn’t get eaten by hype for
interaction with AAA) wrote an email about
your desire to make one part. I
I was happy and gave him a picture with the task
make the part to your taste. He did through
day. Blooper, crooked, but curb
part in the spirit of Grachev appeared from nowherewhat.
Feeling like a god, I pointed out to Dichlorvos
shortcomings and remade the one given to him
graphics. Dikhlo hung and while he opened his mouth
for a spoon of porridge I put it there for him
the most complex sprite for the second part
stolen from an indie game called
"woman with a lantern" Next morning
the second part of Dichlorvos was ready. Moreover,
he colored the picture himself and I liked it
moose The sprite there was hellishly difficult in the form
heaps of rays with a background in the form of a woman with
flashlight, actually a double screen. How is he
I did it on the Spectrum and in color,
To be honest, I don’t understand. Then I realized
that Dikhlo is not completely a fool. Therefore, this night
I didn’t sleep, but urgently drew a picture for
epilogue and in the morning fed Dikhla an epilogue on
assembly until he started howling that he was tired of
AAA, how dear you are to me... I am in three parts
I still squeezed the hell out of this guy. It is necessary
to say that the guy looked squinted under
fool, but he coded three cool parts for
week. This is how Psydzhu coded at one time from
Threeyobacraft. I think Dichlorvos is at least
member of the group The Super.
By that time the goblin had fired up and
finished it somehow (not to be confused with CFU here)
What does it have to do with) the second part with trachma in the monitor.
To distribute everything to the music he
inserted the pattern counter visible on the screen
new music. Later this method was
taken into service. You put demos in the corner
counter, which duringdemonstrations
parts work. I listen to music and talk
To the goblin what comes next in accordance with
with couplets - numbers on the screen. So in
within 2-3 days, part 2 was collected and
the megademo was ready for assembly.
Then some kind of rake began. Assembly
dragged on for months, we have already released
second mega demo called Psychoz, and
This demo was not collected. From all sides
the guys were hitting me with cuckoo when. And in
in the end I gave everything to the Goblin, who collected
everything came together and fixed a number of problems with
code of Dichlorvos overnight. After which I wrote
to me that now he drinks until New Year 2018
year. I wish the same for all of you guys! Not
be bored, make a mega demo, AAA everyone
will resolve.
