          Hurray hurray! Im at adok's place as a part of ps european tour 99.
        After many hours inside bumping and shaking trains i now am back in
        front of a blue glowing monitor to wrap and hack together a new
        demoj! Let us rejoice heavily ;) Cya at antiq or ltp, have a nice
        holidays.
                                                                           ps     

          Heeyah! Welcome all to a new great issue of Hugi... err...
        Demojournal! I'm not accustomed to writing guest editorials yet,
        hehe. Anyway, have fun, there's not much to say. Another quality
        issue. Yes. A lot of information about the scene - okay, skip the
        next paragraph, there are enough "demonews" spread all over the mag.
        And... well, is there anything to say? I wonder where ps will release
        his next Demojournal issue! :)
          Ah, and don't forget to fill in the votesheet attached to this
        issue.
          Thank you for reading this.
                                                                    adok^hugi

          Now you know why i always write short editorials! There isnt much
        to say is it adok? :D
                                                                           ps

        Session Start: Mon Aug 02 21:54:25 1999

        *** inferno has joined #demojournal

        <inferno> hi there

        <|ps|> hello! so who are you? :)

        <inferno> hahhh... a hard question that is.. what do u want to know
                  about me exactly? :)

        <|ps|> alien origins, name, age, shoe size..
               favorite icecream flavour, number of brothers
               social-political affiliations
               and a pic of your girlfriend naked if you have one :D

        <inferno> hmmm... my real name is szabolcs menyhei also known as
                  inferno, a member of haujobb and exceed... graphician or
                  what the hell... i was born 19 years ago in a town called
                  kecskemet in 1980.. 15th of november if you want to send
                  me card or something.. well really like chocolate ice
                  cream, and dont like my sister.. and im not interested in
                  any kind of political business.. ahhh and above all:
                  pic of my girlfriend at www.externet.hu/edo ;)))

        <|ps|> uhuhuhuhuh 8) werent you on quad too? :)

        <inferno> yeah, i used to... but i joined haujobb with my best
                  friends from quad (sagacity  + sarix hii ;)))  they're
                  really cooool brothas [ed: funk soul brotha]

        <|ps|> so, you are graphician, how did you started?

        <inferno> hahhh my all life is about gfx!! no..no... well i was
                  really like to draw when i was a little child. and i could
                  and still i can draw on paper well.. and  when ive got my
                  first pc after a few months i discovered some interesting
                  programs. and then ive started to play around with gfx..
                  that's it (to tell the truth i had got a c64 before i had
                  got a pc but then i just used to playing with games :)))

        <|ps|> and what are you doing nowdays on real life? :)

        <inferno> well im going to study at a university called gamf. gonna
                  learn computer science. but when ive got some freetime
                  (like now in the summertime) usually im starting to work
                  on some kind of comercial project (homepage, stuff like
                  that) actually i should have to put together a site with
                  some weird nude chicks :)

        <|ps|> wwwwwwaiiiiiiiiitttttt a second! where can we appreciate the
               beta of that soon to be site? :D

        <inferno> if you come to hungary maybe i can show you ;)

        <|ps|> :D ok by me! sorry for the readers though.. ;)

        <inferno> next question pliiiz

        <|ps|> anyways, what is so interesting about gfx and the demoscene?

        <inferno> when i first heard about demoscene i thought that it is a
                  really good thing to put your creativity into different
                  kind of computer art... such as graphic, music or a more
                  complicated thing called demo... then i discovered the
                  feeling of the parties, the scene spirit etc.. that's why
                  ive fallen in love with scene years ago.

        <|ps|> what do you think about people who say it is dying and that
               kind of stuff?

        <inferno> dunno exactly... i think scene is changing. like everything
                  in this hellish computer bussiness.. maybe the evolution of
                  the computers caused all this mess... but i still belive
                  that it is going to be better.

        <|ps|> so what are your future plans right now on the scene?

        <inferno> huhh trying to leave ;))) no. i think i became better
                  during the last year/months so im gonna release some
                  quality pictures in the future, and im gonna take part in
                  designing some demos (watch out for the antiq releases ;)
                  im gonna release an astdisk at the begining of the
                  twentyfirst century (actually it is going to be the first
                  in the twentyfirst century:) and then probably i will slow
                  down..... case i can never leave the scene!

        <|ps|> what was your first demoparty?

        <inferno> hehe... coool question.. as i said my first machine was a
                  c64.. i saw a lot of intros on that but nothing more. then
                  i sold that little evil c64 and i had forgot everything
                  about computers.. until 1996. then i bought my first pc..
                  my first party was cache96 autumn. actually the best party
                  ive ever attended!!! (okay scenest-rage was cool too!)

        <|ps|> what are the best and worst memories of it?

        <inferno> although i havent got any bad memories at all

        <|ps|> so what are the good ones? :)

        <inferno> the only worst thing was that a guy listened to some kind
                  of weird heavy metal music next to us at maximum volume :))

        <|ps|> what about the good ones?

        <inferno> well.. good ones? meeting with cool pals, drinking a lot,
                  enjoying the compos.. and laughing at a guy who was wanted
                  to fuck ritus ;)))) actually that guy was drunk.. and
                  ritus is a girl who visits demoparties quite often :))

        <|ps|> bahahahah :) why was cache96 the best one so far? :)

        <inferno> because of the coool feeling :)

        <|ps|> please use more then 5 words :D

        <inferno> yeps yeps yeps yeps yeps yeps ;)

        <|ps|> cammon! :) you can do better then that

        <inferno> the reasons: -my first party, -cool people, -cool releases,
                  -held in the best time and at the best  place ;)

=====! demo !==================================================================

        Overload by Procreation (party-version)

        Found at www.scene.org
        2nd place at Xenium'99

        System requirements:
        c333 or AMD k6-2/300 (I suppose c333 means celeron).
        5.5 MB HD, 32 MB or 64 MB RAM (Hey, it's like that in the info-file).
        Fast GFX card with vesa3.0 support (I've only 2.0 and it works fine).
        Good monitor with fast mode switching.
        GUS/SB/... (Useless player used).

        The demo:
          This demo uses a mixture of low-res (320*200) and hi-res (640*480)
        parts. If you have a digital monitor with not-so-fast mode switching,
        this will cause some frustration. But Procreation used the modes in a
        logical way: the low-res parts are mostly complex 3D-scenes, blurred
        and with lots of flares. The hi-res parts are used for pictures, or
        for simple effects where the largest part of the background doesn't
        change. Danish design is not included. Apart from the usual
        color-depths (32/24/16/8), you can also select a 3dfx mode, so guess
        what the 2D/3D balance does. The best parts IMHO are the "worlds":
        a man dancing in a disco, surrounded by an overload of lights, and
        two spaceships chasing each other in underground tunnels and caves.
        Those tunnels could use some mipmapping, as the textures are rather
        small, and showing a lots of these at a large distance without
        mipmapping is basically the same as showing random points of the
        textures. Not nice to look at. A few stand-alone objects are in there
        too, and of course, rotating torusses in different sizes and
        combinations are an important part in today's demos :-/ Some
        old-but-nice 2D-effects are used to prevent this from being a 3D-only
        demo. A normal amount of pics are used, the best ones are the
        hand-drawn cyborg-girl (but the face may be photoshopped, I'm not
        sure) and a rendered image of the typical green alien with big eyes
        (with 3D-objects reflecting in them, cool!). They are shown right
        after each other, I think it's better to spread the full-screen
        pictures more, but that will require more mode-switches...

        The music:
          First we get a typical movie-intro, slow crescendo, but soon with
        a few claps the typical demo-style takes over: mostly up-tempo synths
        and drums, varying around a few melodic themes. There is much
        repetition, but with the fast-changing effects on the screen, you've
        no time to get bored. I like the style, but one slower part more
        wouldn't hurt, especially in the end. Syncing is so-so: the different
        parts start on new patterns, but the occasional white flashes are
        always a bit too late. And the dancer would be far more impressive
        if he moved to the beat (with a bit less blur, so you can see it
        clearer).

        Worth the download?
          Overload has its share of bad points, such as the mode-switching,
        ugly tearing due to bad waitretrace syncing and several little
        design-errors, but overall it's well worth watching. Let's hope that
        the final version is ready sooner than "in a few years", as stated
        in the info-file, and that it keeps the variation and the feeling.
        Download it if you like 3D-demos.
                                                                        Seven

        [editor: well, overload is a normal big demo but it somehow doesnt
                 make it that big, i believe the reason is because things
                 arent really connected, the 3d engine could use some work
                 but i think they are working on it. The music is normal demo
                 music so it is nothing awesome but ok. The design is a bit
                 er.. weird.. not connected things.. some scenes are ok but
                 they dont fit the rest of the mood.. the beggining was a
                 nice development though... well.. ill be waiting for the
                 next procreation demo. Im sure they will do alot better,
                 they have the means of putting together something really
                 great, this one was just an appetizer.]


=====! intro !=================================================================

        Garbled by Dario Phong / PhyMosys
        1st place at Euskal '99
        http://www.euskalparty.org

          Dario's web-site is located at http://www.ross.net/dp/. You can get
        the intro there if you have problems to access to the Euskal
        web-site. Also, there are loads of coding tutorials.

          This is Dario Phong's second 4k intro. While his first one wasn't
        presented at any party, this one even won a party, to be precise
        Euskal '99, this year's Spanish scene event.
          Originally Dario wanted to code a 64k intro. I saw early beta
        versions of it and thought that with the effects that were then
        making up the most part of this intro, he wouldn't even have a chance
        to win at a small local party. I gave him advice what effects he
        should cut out and shorten. In the end he decided to make the intro a
        4k one, especially as he didn't have any music for it and a 64k intro
        without music wouldn't be appreciated too much by the audience
        anyway. He also followed some of my advice although not all - but who
        cares, he won the party, so the people liked it, and he now has some
        more Pesetas and a new graphics card.

          The intro starts with a weird introductional screen. A blurred text
        appears in the middle of the screen in vertical order. It's the usual
        DOS font and moving in some strange ways which remind of sinus
        scrollers, only that sinus scrollers are usually horizontal, that is,
        go from the left to the right. In the background, some random (?)
        pixels are lighted from time to time. Probably this was made using
        colorcycling, like many effects in that intro.
          The next part is, as far as I know, a texture whose co-ordinates
        were converted from rectangle to polar and which rotates similar to
        the oldskool tunnel effect. With some colorcycling in the background,
        this looks pretty nice. But soon the colours are cycled so much that
        the whole screen gets filled by strange, undefinable shapes, which
        Dario could have skipped in my opinion.
          Other effects include stretchting, which is sometimes a bit
        overdone, the ubiquitous fading, and bump-mapping. The last does not
        look perfect either to my mind because there is some invisible field
        in the middle from which the objects bumps, too, and it all moves
        very slowly.
          But there are also several parts which look quite fine, even though
        they show undefinable shapes and use only colorcycling. I especially
        like the final part: the greetings. The greetings text moves in a
        circle, which looks good; the only snag to it is that it moves
        clockwise. If it were counter-clockwise, it would be easier to read,
        as you read from left to right in our ABC. Well, a pity, but who
        cares. In the end the circle gradually gets smaller until only one
        letter is displayed: an N. Then comes a nice thing: Left and right of
        the N, an E and a D are displayed. END. And the intro exits.
          I think especially the last effect and the extraordinary number of
        effects shown in this presentation have impressed the people at the
        Euskal Party. Well done!

        Dario is already working on his next 4k intro, for which he already
        has some good ideas and some working code. Let's see what it will
        look like in the end, and what place he will get at what party.
                                                                  a-duck^hugi


=====! music !=================================================================

        Inner Sanctum by Bam/Evolve

          This one is a remix of the game tune from an old c64 game, im no
        longer sure of the name.. i think "First samurai" :P well.. if it's
        not then sue me! :) well.. i was at bam's house yesterday and it was
        nice to hear some remixes of the c64 while installing unreal to check
        the capacities of 3d-acc 3d-engines.
          Well.. The music starts with some ambient japanese sounds and goes
        idling around the patterns on some relaxing sounds. Well.. i can't
        do music reviews like we all know by now so ill just stop here :)
                                                                           ps


=====! quote !=================================================================

          "when you dont know your history you are bound to repeat the
        mistakes from your past. i read this somewhere.. dont know where :P"
                                                                          bam

        Comments on Assembly '99

          Well, I have not been able to download all entries from Assembly'99
        yet, but I have seen the results and most of the PC 4k intros.

          It's really strange for this major party that almost no major
        groups have participated in the competitions this time. Instead, it
        is mainly local Finnish groups such as the joke-crew tAAt and p
        (formerly called pdg, which stands for "paranormal demo group") who
        dominate the party results file.
          Bomb, Nomad and other stars originally wanted to take part in Asm
        '99 with demos, too. But as you could learn in Hugi #16, they were
        not sure whether they would manage to finish their productions in
        time. And as you see, they didn't.
          Other modern and popular groups like Purple did not intend to take
        part in Assembly at all; as Thorsten told me some weeks ago, their
        only plan was to make a demo for Summer Encounter '99 in Denmark,
        which they did within a week and with which they placed second. For
        Assembly, nothing was planned by Purple at all.

          The main compo at Assembly '99 was the PC 3d accelerated demo
        competition. As you can see in the results, it was won by the
        benchmark experts of Mature Furk (= Future Mark, the makers of 3D
        Mark99), which is not much of a surprise. So again, the prize has
        gone to the party organizers' group, Future Crew; according to
        several people on IRC, Future Mark is a part of Remedy Entertainment,
        which is after all a company owned by Gore/FC.
          The second place went to Trauma. No surprise either, since this
        group won the demo competition at Assembly '98 and can hence be
        considered experts at triggering the emotions of the Assembly
        audience. Third came Komplex. And that was all groups of an
        international range.

          The winner of the non-accelerated demo compo is Recreation,
        followed by the Finnish Damones, which are known from the Boozembly
        festivals that are held annually at the same time as Assembly. Also
        the group Doomsday, or at least a part of it, has released another
        demo in cooperation with kooma (formerly COMA) and pyy. Nice comeback
        of a group that was declared dead by its organizers a year ago.

          So what does the scene think of these productions? Not much. Most
        people on various IRC channels such as #coders, #pixel and
        #coders.ger said that the demos were not of a very high quality this
        time.
          Same goes for the music entries. A member of the music jury at
        Assembly '99 told me that "90% of the tunes were just unbearable" and
        commented it with the sentence: "The Euro music scene is going down
        the toilet." As you can see in the results, the music compo is also
        the one with the highest number of disqualified entries (that is
        those who got 0 points).
          But the worst compo was probably the PC 4k intro competition.

          After the release of Picard's revolutionary smash-hit Mesha at
        Assembly '98, which according to Nix/TBL easily beat most of the 64k
        intros presented at that party, the expectations were very high. And
        all of us who expected another great achievement in the development
        of the 4k intro art were disappointed just as badly.
          I was first pleased to see that five people who had taken part in
        some of the Hugi Size Coding Competitions had made entries for this
        Assembly's 4k intro compo: Digimind, Juippi, hiteck, Itchi, and
        Viznut. Juippi, who placed 4th, even greeted me because of there had
        not been the Hugi Compos, he would not have bothered to learn coding
        in Assembler.
          Then I started the intros. Orinoco by Digimind and Pygo by Viznut,
        placed second and eleventh respectively, did not work on my PC at the
        first attempt. Well, okay, I'll try them again with another config
        later, I thought. First I decided to watch hiteck's "The Answer" (7th
        place), which worked fine immediately. A story-based intro. A simple
        fantasy story is displayed in 3d letters, and after each text-page
        you can be a ball hopping around in a 3d world. Looked nice. Same
        goes for Itchi's "Nature", which mainly showed water effects and
        plasmas. Really good, however, I found "Radiant" by Juippi. It is the
        only intro that played sound on my SB 16 PnP. Lots of 303-style sound
        effects. And all in all nicely designed with colourful effects.
          Now I was very excited to see the winner intro. If it was rated
        better than Radiant, I thought, it had to be comparable with Mojo
        (2nd place at Asm '98) at least. Maybe it had even the quality of
        Mesha, Void 3, Omniscent, the Little Big Demo saga or Outline. Or
        perhaps it was better!
          I had never heard of the author of the intro, mooze, before. In
        addition, the size of the intro was less than 3 kbyte. Phew, what
        cool effects were in that intro, I wondered; in a 2567-byte .com file
        that beat all the highly size-optimized 4096 bytros, whose authors
        tried to pack as much as possible in this small limit?
          So I was extremely excited when I slowly typed in the name of the
        executable... paska.com. Enter.
          I could not believe what I saw. A ugly picture of a "Mokia" handy
        appeared on my screen, all in bright green on a black background like
        in the times of XT computers. Then two ASCII faces appear, one of
        them being Keanu Reeves, the star of the movie Matrix. On the top of
        the screen, some short conversation is displayed. I don't understand
        it, since only the first sentence is in English language - the rest
        is all in Finnish. The conversation is interrupted by the effect of
        the Matrix screensaver, some random zeroes and ones falling from the
        top of the screen down to the bottom, and a rectangle saying "LSD".
        Finally the watcher gets to see a really lame tunnel effect; it is
        either not synchronised with the vertical retrace or uses a buggy
        algorithm, as you can spot many pictures which do not belong to where
        they are. Fortunately, the even lamer Matrix effect is displayed
        again in the foreground, so at least you do not have to watch the
        incorrectly set pixels all the time. Then a last picture of a Matrix
        with zeroes and ones is displayed, with the text: "Matrix has you!"
        The End.

          I was surprised. How could this piece of crap win the 4k intro
        competition? Besides, I was angry that as a result of this several
        productions of a higher quality had not got what they deserved.
        Immediately I logged onto IRC to express my rage; something I, being
        a calm person, rarely ever do, as anybody who knows me personally can
        confirm.
          The first person I met, Partikle, told me it was a very funny
        intro, and that was why it got that many votes. I had also already
        thought that there had to be something especially funny in that
        intro, but as I don't understand Finnish it was not funny for me at
        all.
          In any case, I will try to get an English translation of the texts
        in the intro as soon as possible and possibly publish it in
        Demojournal or Hugi.
          Still I think that a 4k intro competition is not a joke compo. On
        the contrary, this is the very compo where coders have to show off
        their technical and designing skills. A 4k intro is something every
        demo coder can easily make alone. But creating a good 4k intro
        requires a lot of knowledge and work. Not only do you have to know
        how to code effects but you also have to optimize them in size.
        Furthermore, you need a clear concept of your intro before you start
        coding. Otherwise you cannot optimize straight from the beginning,
        and you will have a lot of code between the individual routines to
        set up registers that will blow up your .com file's size.

          That this intro, matriisi by mooze, won shows two things.

          Firstly, it shows that Assembly is definitely Finnish dominated.
        According to the organizers' official statements, 80% of the visitors
        last year were from Finland. For this year's Assembly, no comparable
        summary has been released yet. But party visitors I talked with on
        IRC confirmed me that the majority was from the country or even
        local, and that this year their share was perhaps not 80% but even
        90%.
          The party results confirm this impression. At least in the major
        compos (demos and intros), there was hardly any group from outside
        the country in which Assembly was held.
          Conclusion: Assembly is not the big international scene event any
        more it was in the past years, but rather a local or national one.

          Secondly, it shows that there are a lot of people at Assembly who
        do not care about the technical or the quality aspect of the
        presented productions. In other words, the majority of the visitors
        and, for that reason, also the voters is probably non-sceners.
          That Assembly is not only focused on the scene but is rather a
        general computer event for young kids and old people also becomes
        obvious when you take a look at the Assembly '99 e-zine
        (http://www.assembly99.net). Non-sceners, scene newbies, and girls
        form the editor staff. That's nothing bad, as it allows a fresh view
        on the happenings. But when you take a close look at the articles
        posted in that electronic magazine, you will find out that most
        either deal with the party action in general, which is fine, or
        people that are obviously not related to the scene. There are
        interviews with "famous" people - famous just because they are well
        known on some IRC channels. And the party-related articles focus on
        topics like a full WC hall, which, again, is okay to report about and
        certainly also interesting to read; but there is nothing about the
        compos, for instance.

          The fact that big scene parties are dominated by "game-lamers" and
        the like is nothing new of course. Also it is completely
        understandable that it is necessary to have many visitors in order to
        pay the expenses for the party place, electricity and the compo
        prizes; the sponsors won't cover all, and after all, every party
        organizer also wants to earn a bit money as a recompensation for his
        efforts.
          But it is no wonder why Assembly gets less and less attractive for
        the demo scene. If you get beaten by a lame fake intro although you
        invested a lot of time and work in creating a technically excellent
        production, you will think twice before you will enter a production
        at this party again.
          In addition, for foreign sceners outside Scandinavia, travelling to
        Finland is very expensive. Even thought you can earn quite a lot of
        money if you win a compo, there is not much of an incentive to attend
        the party with a compo entry that required a lot of sweat to create.
          (According to people on IRCNet #coders, the prize for the winner of
        the PC demo compo at Assembly '99 was $2730; the Amiga demo compo
        winner got $1100. I was not able to verify this information because
        at the time I was writing this text the Assembly web-site was down.)

          It should be clear by now who is the winner of the "largest
        international demo scene event" battle fought between Assembly and
        The Party.

          But I think I should end this article with a positive statement.
        For a change, a rather good aspect of Assembly '99 was the GFX compo.
        Even though the subjects are not always my taste, the technique in
        general looks fine to me in the best rated entries. And
        interestingly, the top three entries were all made by people who are
        active on IRCNet #pixel.
                                                                    adok^hugi

        <distance> did you know that members of komplex, tpolm,
                   koma and halcyon couldn't get IN to asm99 because they
                   sold all the tickets to quakeidiots!

        editor: no, but we know now...
