PARADOX'99 (day one)
К> First, tell us where you are from, in
what nominations did you take part in?
ZX platform.
M> In general, we arrived from Armavir. Group
Accept Corp. On the Spectrum we set it to
mainly demo, 4k intro and music.
К> Do you have graphics?
M> There are no graphics, because the artist
I'm currently on vacation.
К> How are things going in Armavir?
Spectrum?
М> So, this is the situation in Armavir. B
mostly just drinking... nothing else
in principle. And from the groups only Accept,
no one else. Here we are with Phantom Lord
we are just doing demoscene on ZX,
recently took part in the St. Petersburg
festival Chaos Constructions'99 (further
CC'99), took 3rd place.
К> What can you say about this
festival?
M> We believe that the CC'99 competition itself was
full flame, i.e. no objective
there were no ratings. Just people gathered
who needed animation, not coding.
K> Did everything go well with writing the demo?
smooth? It seemed to me there wereproblems with
graphics.
M> We didn’t have graphics at that time,
because our schedule went on vacation.
The graphics, namely the picture, were downloaded from the PC.
The text was taken from the songs of the punk band Hell
Raisers. The demo was written in a difficult way
mood. We hoped that after
watching the same mood will transfer to
to other people.
К> How long ago was your group formed?
M> Accept Corp. Group. was organized in
96, before that we exhibited as
Mega-Center.There was a general unification
Exotic-Empire, with group Unit 5 from
Krasnodar. Many were released together
programs... And so, the main product was
Odissey magazine.
К> Please tell me what it is connected with
delay in further releasemagazine?
M> Regarding
magazine, I can
say the following:
magazine more
not released
will be. This is due to
lack of information
Our organizer
simply no longer in
able to provide
us texts, according to
reason for switching to
another platform. But
this is the work on
information publication
nium did not stop
For today
day werelease
newspaper under the same
title "Odissey",
which will
appear, as it were
mini tutorial. Newspaper is easier to make and
less information needed. But for the magazine you need
time, but there is simply no time...
К> How are things going with you in Armavir?
purchasing new programs for ZX?
M> In Armavir we always have
new software, there are points on the Internet
forwarding, and we also keep in touch
with many groups working on
Spectrum.
К> For example, if in your city
a new Spectrumist will appear, he will be able
Where can I buy new software?
M> Easily. He can contact
directly to us. First of all he
will receive a newspaper"Odyssey". She's for everyone
Armavirsky is distributed free of charge.
If there is anyone else in Armavir, we will
We will definitely support you, and in general
country. Because, I think, for now
Speccy are doing something, everything will be fine,
and if they continue to do animation, then
he will die.
К> What is your opinion about chunking
animation?
M> Chunks have opened up new possibilities. Now
on the screen it became possible to do a lot
more and it will work significantly
faster. And do animation in the same
chunks... Yes, it is profitable, but if you do
deme if it consists entirely of
animation... Then you need to arrange
a separate competition in which there will be
compete graphics and design.
К> You came to the Chaos festival
Constructions?
M> We exhibited through the Samara group.
Including through MMA, we sent him our
demu andhe put us out in absentia. Just don't
it was possible to come there.
К> What can you say about already
held festivals in which he took part
participation of ZX SPECTRUM?
М> Any party is first and foremost
organizational skills. What
organizing a party is good, i.e.
if there is some kind of party, it doesn’t matter how it is
passed, if they organized it, then well done, I
I support this. But I think that CC'99
which was arranged by the Australians and
held in St. Petersburg this is not what I wanted
would. For example: you can come to the same
party, bring a crowd of about a hundred people.
They'll vote for you, it doesn't matter, you're good
dema or bad... I hope that
PARADOX this will not happen. Evaluation
should be objective, in general should
evaluate first of all by knowledgeable people...
We just came here to see what
other people do it, compare the level...
If someone brings work better than ours,
then I will first of all vote for
the best. That's how it should be. It's called
"objective assessment".K> They probably come here for
to support inner well-being.
M> Yes, first of all I didn’t come for
Pati, I came here to relax and find
new friends, besides my Armavir ones.
For me this is the most important thing...
