Still, I wish those group status posts were less frequent than actual number of "release" news, so please don’t jump, but create ;-))). Have a beautiful september.

September 2002. I wonder what the scene will have in store for us. I hope we see some -decent- oldskool demos at these parties this year, a bit like ’Dawnfall’, etc :) This is something I’m expecting to see. Also, why not get people involved in making games? It’d be cool to see all those talented demo groups produce a game. I’m also hoping to do a second JokeTro compo later on this month. (Care to help judge again CreaMD?)

This demo is boring at first (The chitty-chatty part), but you do get some amusing bits in the demo. Later on you get some pretty cool effects. The music is superb (Who composed the music?) and also the whole idea was clever. - Especially the zipper part going up the screen, and also the clock.
And now please convince me again that people care for reading the credits.

Agreed. Richard, this is your site, your page, your demo taste. If you feel that these are top demos, then you are absolutely right. Don’t expect everyone to agree, though. And I’m flattered about SNN being part of your list, except for the chitty-chatty bit - it was kind of our point to stray little different from the normal effect-laden fastpaced nuskool demos and present a nice, oldfashioned animated scene (was a lot of work to pixel, mind you). Okay, the jokes were a bit corny, and it *is* easy to make fun of Bill Gates, but I don’t think a literary masterpiece would’ve saved the day in any way. Thus endeth my two cents.

Thanks TMR, seems I’ve got a bit tired after these three long hours of pixelling...
Btw, if it isn’t too obvious, I pixelled "Hypocracy Ltd." as an answer for Zeitgeist’s news-post. Thought it is much more "elegant" this way than opening a new topic on CSDB. Despite my way of pixelling, I placed it’s technical side to secondary-plan this time, note that I just wanted to express my opinion with the picture, its motive, and nevertheless its title.

My very simple questions are the following:
Isn’t it my right to judge what’s esthetic for me and what’s not, what is good or wrong? Isn’t it my right to decide what is that I like to see in scene-projects, and which demos I forget after the first view? Isn’t it my right to paint, compose or code whatever I like?
In general, who are we to decide? If someone likes to pixel Vallejo remakes or nude female bodies, let it be, as long it’s not a nazi/racist motive I fucking don’t care! Take a look on it, I’m sure it won’t cause a brain damage, and ignore it if you’re hypersensitive to pixelled boobs (yeah, sure).
I’m neither into porn-stuff in demos, but I can’t get what’s this sudden "hey, let’s exterminate nudity from the scene, it’s sooooo very wrong and soooo disgusting"?
Scene is there for fun, for hobby. Some of you seem to mix it up with real life.

You know, after seeing all those pictures, here’s what might save the c64 graphics scene: instead of xerox copying other people’s pictures to a suitable c64 format, why not convert YOUR drawings to a suitable c64 format? I know, for one, that the feeling you get then is much better and more satisfying than converting any Vallejo or CD cover, no matter how skillfully it was done. It is in YOUR work that you’re free to draw what you want. The conversion from sketch to c64 piccy is just a formality and how it’s done doesn’t really matter. Just a humble suggestion.

Why dont you just leave the productive ppl alone and let them do what they enjoy to do?
No, whenever i convert some Giger or Boris pic there arent any artistical skills involved however - so what? Did i ever claim to be an artist? _THAT_ is the point to muck about.
And i also have to question the intelligence of ppl who read "THIS IS A CONVERSION!!!" right infront of the piccy - and who still vote it Top3. Who fucked up there? Me, who converted the thing - or them, who still spend their votes on it?
oh and last not least - the pron-argument :=P this makes me laugh really. first of all porn _is_ a vital traditional part of c64 demos - and theres nothing wrong with it. second porn is a vital part of my live, specifically beautiful naked women are something i like to look at - and i have yet to meet the guy who doesnt. (even the handful gay ppl i know do for that matter.) third i find it quite amusing how this discussion goes in circles without ONE female contributing to it. funny. maybe its that most female literally give a fuck for porn and simply _ignore_ it?
if you dont like the playboy, dont buy it.
i would however like to see one or two arguments to that debate that go beyond the pathetic "aesthetic"
point (which is useless to discuss about anyway, matter of taste rings a bell?) and which skips the "women are offended by naked women" obscurity. (Please ban the turrican title picture ’coz naked men offend me!)
btw some of the highest ratest demos (no i wont name them) contain nazi-symbols and yet noone banned them from the ftp’s or told their creators to fuck off.
For the sake of Hypocracy - i couldnt agree more.

"(...)porn _is_ a vital tradition part of c64 demos - and theres nothing wrong with it." (Groepaz)
First of all, I have to agree with Hollowman (or at least with what I think he meant?), hiding behind "tradition" just isn’t good enough. The fact that something is considered a "tradition" doesn’t mean it has to be a good thing.
Second, there _is_ a difference between porn and nude images, at least in my dictionary. Porn is a vital part of c64 demos? Oh please...And for the record, women generally are not offended by naked women as such, but by the way women are portrayed and in what context.
I’m not saying anything should be banned (did anyone else in this discussion suggest that..?) but just as Groepaz has the right to think pictures of nude females is a very important thing in the c64 scene, I have the right to think that it’s just sad (and in some cases both degrading and offensive.).

i’d question how much a C64 picture of a naked person harms anybody who wouldn’t be affected by a number of other factors anyway. The porn industry as a whole is a different matter and some elements of it can and do harm people but how does it relate to the C64? The images *may* be pornographic (and that’s a matter of perception in some cases) but that’s a different thing to the porn *industry*.
And if you want to take things to extreme, surely the free distribution of what the porn industry makes it’s money from is *harming* rather than supporting it?
As for violent computer games, i merely mentioned them to point out that people can be exposed to things that are supposedly harmful with no ill effects; be it porn, violence or my cooking.

"First of all, I have to agree with Hollowman (or at least with what I think he meant?), hiding behind "tradition" just isn?t good enough. The fact that something is considered a "tradition" doesn?t mean it has to be a good thing."
yes ofcoz, it wasnt my intend to hide between tradition at all. i was just questioning the hypocracy on that topic again. (and yes, i should have elobrated a bit more what i mean with "porn" but later...)
"Second, there _is_ a difference between porn and nude images, at least in my dictionary."
you say it. the problem is, it is very hard to draw a line here. what is extremely fine erotic art to me may be offending ordinary "porn" to you. so whatever it is some fantasy artwork, related giger picture or even some of that crap you can download at www.hax0r-me-fr0m-behind.com (i have heard ;=P) - its all pr0n to me :) yeah maybe i should have said/written nude images but hey...lazyness rulez! :o)
"Porn is a vital part of c64 demos? Oh please..."
ok, make that nude images then :)
"And for the record, women generally are not offended by naked women as such, but by the way women are portrayed and in what context."
no doubt with that :) else it would be quite dangerous out there with all those womens going berzerk about nude pictures like on every magazine frontpage ;=P
"I have the right to think that it?s just sad (and in some cases both degrading and offensive.)."
mmh well ok, there ARE some (mmh i would only know one offhand atm to be honest ;=P) that i would think my girlfriend wouldnt really laugh about :=P i can still have a good laugh with that stuff though - but i wouldnt create that kinda crap these days :o)
i would be interisted in some examples on what you find offending to be honest :) (no not to complete my pr0n collection *G*) especially from the stuff released lately and not some 80s sexgames thing ;o) (arent you rather sorry for ppl who bought crap like "girls that want to have fun" than beeing offended? ;=P)

Interesting to see people finally moving on from the topic "wired or not" to the more important one - "what does it depict".
The human body, and in particular, the human face holds beauty for me. I know that that’s highly subjective, and a bit dated - the Ancient Greeks and Rembrandt were pretty much up to the same thing - but still, that’s how I pick my favourites. Is then there a reason I should avoid pixeling, say, portraits of what I consider to be beautiful women for my demo?

16. Sep 2002 16:45
The other thing when doing gfx is take your TIME! Most GOOD graphics won’t have been done in 20 minutes! If part of your pic looks shit, re-do it until it looks good (afterall, there’s only so many combinations of pixels/colours of the c64 screen - you must get it right eventually ;) ).
One problem I notice with you Richard, is that you do backgrounds in a very char based way. Everything is in drawn in 4x8 pixels (multicolour mode) in a way that it can be repeated anywhere. Try and think OUTSIDE those 4x8 pixels, join 2 or more characters (in many cases the more the better!) together to make an object. Everything doesn’t have to meet up when it gets to the boundires of the one character and will look much better if it doesn’t. Also, in most of your games, there’s probably no reason you shouldn’t use a bitmap for the background, which you will find much easier to draw in and will give you more colours to play with.

I’m refraining myself from participating in this discussion (concerning art content), but it’s hard to keep one’s mouth shut. I think that as an artist, you’re free to decide where you want to go with your work. You’re the only and most important judge of the things you draw, and if you feel, at that point in time, that you’ve got something worth of releasing, then why not release it? In the end, no matter how hard you try, there’ll always be someone who won’t like what you did. Of course, it always feels better if most people are okay with your work, but you have to stay true to yourself, your morals, the context you created and sometimes, you just have to *try* something, experiment. Certainly not comply to all of the wishes of others and force you into something you are not.
Remember Robocop 2, where Murphy (Robocop) got reprogrammed and the city council decided to cram his head with hundreds of ’prime directives’ instead of just three? This feels awfully similar :).

Groepaz. Why all the namecalling? Why all the hurtful remarks? Why is your definition of the word "porn" the only correct one? I stand by my previous comment, you clearly don’t know me at all. Also, I believe the hakenkreuz was in World of Code, not World of Code II, but I could be wrong - it is not a demo I’ve watched very often.

Roman: no worries... if i ever feel the urge for yet another reaction, i’ll contribute some offending pictures instead or sth :=P
mermaid: my mother told me to call ppl by their names, nothing more nothing less :=) and if you read my previous comment again, you can maybe spot the sarcasm that strikes in the very sentence you probably find hurtful. it wasnt ever ment to be a personal attack, sorry for that. it was just a weak attempt to stress how easy it is to get a detailed picture of some person by reading some posts in a forum on the internet. (uh oh oops, that sarcasm thing again... ;=P)
oh and the porn definition - i am referring to the LAW in my country, who else defines such things? and no, i am no expert in law either but certainly things you can see in every second magazine cannot be pornography in that sence... not unless you live in some islamic state or sth :=P
anyway, peace! lets stop it, we are moving in circles anyway :o)

groepaz: Please tell us more about the definition of pornography in the law of Germany. If the turn disk picture in Krestology or the one in the joystick port part in Dutch Breeze aren’t porn according to it, I’d say that definition must be pretty narrow.

Groepaz. When I write that just because something is considered a "tradition" it is not automatically a good thing, that makes me a conservative? When I write that there is infact a difference between nude images and porn, that makes me a sexually frustrated upperclass girl? When I write that I personally find the pornographic (yes, pornographic) images in Krestology and Dutch Breeze offensive, that must mean I’m opposed to sex before marriage? When I try to discuss the issues instead of making personal attacks, that must mean I have no sense of humour? I never tried to label you as anything, why are you so eager to label me? I have never pretended to know anything about you. I don’t get it - which probably means you’re wrong about the intellect part too?

Groepaz: No, really, I would like some answers to those questions.
I’m also curious about this: Does every second magazine in Germany really have pictures like the one in Dutch Breeze and the one in Krestology?

Hollowman, it’s hard to get focused on the topic when people slip to "it’s because of your nature, the friends you have, and the life you lead" arguments ;-))). Moment, checking who started.. hmmm.. I’m sure it wasn’t me.

So oppressing people of certain races is wrooooong, while oppressing people of certain genders is just fun? Please explain
I’d need some explanation on your logic as well. :/
I believe it isn’t quite the same, Puterman. If porn was/is causing millions of innocent people to die, I say, amen, and could (not) be on of the first ones to jump on a horse and join the crusade against (...). But, the people acting in porn could be also blamed just as the people making, wathing or spreading/reusing it, sure not on the same level.
I just hate people telling me how to think about certain issues, and to change my mind radically. Because that’s what I see here.
I watch porn, I tolerate porn, I enjoy porn. End. Blame me.
And now all go and code/pixel/compose/upload/watch Timewaster/Focus instead of writing several hundreds of posts. :)
That’s for sure I’ll do, to pixel some porn-motives, and to highly opress the opposite gender.

I personally think this discussion should move in the direction of ’what do we want c64 pictures to be like’ instead of ’what have they always been like’. Maybe then it would be more amusing than right now. I suppose much of the ’tradition’ of c64-art stem from the fact that a couple of spotty horny teenagers pixeled those pics. Well, I’m not a teenager anymore. How about you?

D’Arc/Topaz did some really good artwork, using FLI. I was quite astonished with some of his work. Anyway, although various demos have porn-type artwork, I think there should be no war about C64 artwork. Okay, so I don’t like porn, but I think whoever the artist is, doing these type of drawings using FLI, painting programs, etc. Deserve respect and votes from other people. The C64 scene is full of Commodore 64 enthuisiats, and we love the C64 and that is why we make general use with it.

23, anyway let’s forget about this rubbish.
On with something more serious:
I am looking for beta testers to beta-test ’Bomb Chase’ the full game. These people must promise not to spread the beta-test version, as it would be lame to spread that version of the game - especially when the full game will be released next month :)
For anyone interested in play testing the game (You must own a REAL C64 and Star-Commander software & X1541, as it would work better) please email me, via the link below :)

Well, to chip in on Dane’s "What do we want c64 pictures to be like?" and to "keep the rubbish going" as Richard so eloquently put it... well, on a philosophical level, the question under consideration is pretty much void. However, on a more subjective and personal level, the things I’d like to see... well, I’m a comics enthusiast, with a major preference towards western comics. I’d like to see styles such as an Enki Bilal, or a Francois Schuiten, or Yves Swolfs... Just check out the french publisher Glenat and simply enjoy their amazing work. I also like japanese comics a lot, especially something like Akira, but the attention is somewhat diverted to the amazing art in contemporary console games by Japanese developers such as Capcom/Konami/Square (Devil May Cry, man). My personal contribution to this on the c64 currently is a weird hybrid crossover between manga and western comics. It’s not much, but I hope to find my own style eventually. As for other things I’d like to see, well, I do like the works of scene pixellers like Ra, Nero, Made, Nytrik, Saffron and Visualice. Basically, be original, have an own unique style and don’t be afraid to show it.

Regarding ’Attitude’ diskzine. I found it interesting to read. However, about the -awful- tunes in PBC 49, these were old tunes, which I did two or three years. There should hopefully be some better tunes.
