3}:

VM>> It’s still, of course, too early to say, but Raster promises subs for November.
VM>> (Plus another half a year :)

AB> Nothing surprising! Everything is exactly the same with us...

Raster clarifies: “We have everything ready, except for four articles.” Therefore,
a month or two can be knocked off :)

Just organize a social competition - who will come out first :) Well, for example:

Press:

ZXF 7
ZXP 3
SpProgress 2 (thank God, it came out)
Oberon 4
new Novgorod
...

Games:

Mortal Kombat (Peter) - by the way, they said back in September that everything is ready
Big Red Refrigerator (are they looking for blank discs?)
Guess the melody (ha-ha)
Winnie the Pooh 2 (oooh)
Plutonia (someone's distributors don't distribute it)
Kyrandia
RTH 5
Expansion
DooM
Paradise Lost
Mega Ball
Citadel
Dizzy **
...
...
...
CV1 (maybe this year ;)

Place your bets :)
Warm greetings, Slava!

VM>> Raster clarifies: “We have everything ready except four articles.”
AH> And he told me on the phone (a week ago) that all the articles are ready...

I have older information was...

AH> Hehe, Novgorod // Moscow // Baltic, called Scenergy,
AH> issue 0 will be released first.

I don’t even ask “when?” ;). :(((

VM>> RTH 5
AH> hehe

it would be better to make RTH 5 first (and not releasing RTH 4 at all is a shame)

VM>> DooM
AH> The game is ready, there are still levels, music/sounds, video... protection.

I understand you! :)))

VM>> Paradise Lost
AH> Today I saw some innovations. Oz screwed up something else there. 2
AH> floors are ready (almost =) ).

and that's all? 4?

VM>> Mega Ball
AH> Megaball - that’s more correct. Expanding. There will be a new gaming dimension/innovation. Another demo in Scenergy #1.

what are you doing there?did you make a new one? (enough secrets :-!! )

VM>> Citadel
AH> And Stalker gave us the idea with colors/screens/interlaces... Here
AH> is a sly one =)

IMHO, the longest Spectrum project. I don’t know if monsters
have appeared there or not yet?

AH> Well, we don’t hope for that at all =) You should optimize your “macrolanguage”
AH> yet... And there will be multiplayer (on the internet via Kali?) =)

there will be. via vicomm via MMD 3.x ;))

Warm greetings, Slava!

VM> Well, for example:

VM> Press:

VM> ZXP 3
There is already a good tradition of releasing it every six months - I think
we’ll keep it +;)

VM> Games:
VM> Citadel

Things are moving forward... Pre Release in ZX Power #3.

;-)

Not only monsters have appeared there. I won’t tell you the details yet, but
here was the story:

Let’s go, me and another novice programmer, to Stalker. All the way he tells me, splashing with saliva, that on Speccy it is impossible to do better and faster than Doom from DR. We come to Stalker. They show him the Citadel.... All the way back this guy (obviously going crazy) goes dreaming about what kind of cool levels and types of weapons can be made on such an engine, never once remembering Doom. ;-)

[Citadel Team however ;-))) ]

And crawl with such a weapon around one standing monster...

BTW, in Doom yesterday all the graphics were ready and underwent final changes.
A lot was redrawn at a higher level...
Maybe we’ll release a map editor along with the game... Although the stalker will sneak in again.

Damn it, Stalker, everything is rushing... Eh, it’s hard to be a trendsetter... =)

The last monster in DOOM will be "Lazy Stalker" - kick da lazy ass! =)))

Hmm, it’s better to see once than to hear a hundred times!
I wish I could see it soon!

Warm greetings, Slava!

MR> next...

Don’t worry - otherwise you’ll have to edit 97 to 98 in many places. The plan is as follows: November 30 - preliminary final version :), December 6 - for pre-sale (for beta testing), 14 - ... Although - whatever happens!
