DemoNews is a weekly publication dedicated to the demo scene. It is
|
|
produced at the Internet FTP site ftp.eng.ufl.edu (aka WASP or HORNET).
|
|
This newsletter focuses on all aspects of demos and demo-making (including
|
|
music, art, and coding).
|
|
|
|
There are currently three active demo-operators at this site:
|
|
|
|
Dan Wright (Pallbearer) - dmw@eng.ufl.edu
|
|
Christopher G. Mann (Snowman) - r3cgm@dax.cc.uakron.edu
|
|
Mike - weis@elf.stuba.sk
|
|
|
|
This site is mirrored by the following ftps:
|
|
ftp.uwp.edu
|
|
ftp.luth.se
|
|
ftp.sun.ac.za
|
|
ftp.uni-erlangen.de
|
|
ftp.uni-paderborn.de
|
|
|
|
If you would like to receive a new copy of Demo News every Sunday in your
|
|
mailbox write to dmw@eng.ufl.edu. We delete all bounced mail from this
|
|
service, so if you SHOULD BE getting Demo News and ARE NOT, please re-request
|
|
this newsletter.

SPACE
|
|
|
|
If you have some money/hard drives laying around (about a gig in size)
|
|
why not donate it to this site. We are topping out at our 400 meg limit.
|
|
Too bad, too sad. If we could get about 150 people to donate $5 or
|
|
700 people to donate $1 we could get the drive. Truthfully I would
|
|
rather have one or a couple donators as I would not care to keep track
|
|
of the money being sent in. If we get any big donation we will honor
|
|
you in the README file. Theres gotta be someone making over $75k somewhere
|
|
out there willing to help--whats 1%. I will keep pushing this issue until
|
|
I (we) discover a solution or I retire from being a maintainer (soon).
|
|
|
|
Some cool demos coming in from ASM'94 include:
|
|
(can be found in the /demos/incoming/asm94/demos directory)
|
|
|
|
CATCHUP--I really enjoyed the MUSIC of this Hungarian demo. Very original
|
|
with excellent samples. The Virtual reality FLY is a winner.
|
|
COSMIC--A Video (GUS) type demo that rivals FONT242's Amiga demo that
|
|
competed in last years Assembly compo. What a concept.
|
|
MEGAMIX--Contains an interesting "Techno" section. SB, GUS may not work.
|
|
VERSES--Bill Gates face being morphed into different expressions is
|
|
very impressive. The ASM'94 winner.

((Section 4...Music Articles - MC][))
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
No time to do an article this week.
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
((Section 5...Demo CD))
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
Check /pub/msdos/demos/incoming/democd for UPDATES and information.
|
|
(i.e. More information, cost, how to get the DEMO/MC][ CD)
|
|
|
|
MISC
|
|
|
|
The name of the CD will be "ESCAPE." I am pulling demos from STARPART
|
|
when I get time and hope to download a few from some BBS's. It looks
|
|
as if this CD will contain 90% of the PC demos out there. I would like
|
|
100% but I do not have the time to search and download everything. So
|
|
far I have 150 megs of demos for the CD. Over 100 copies of the
|
|
DEMO/MUSIC CD--ESCAPE--have been reserved. We plan on pressing about
|
|
200-300 pending on cost/who we go with (DMI/3M/JVC/other).
|
|
|
|
MUSIC
|
|
(Repeated from last week)
|
|
|
|
In case you did not understand we do plan on having a Digital Audio portion
|
|
on this DEMO/MUSIC CD we are working on. Most of the TUNES will come from
|
|
the winners in the MC][ contest (/demos/incoming/mc2) but there is STILL
|
|
space for non MC][ enteries. IF you have a tune you think should be
|
|
included on the CD (Digital Audio) then tell us about it and/or submit it.
|
|
There are some tunes out there we would include in a second if they were
|
|
submitted but that has yet to happen. Remember...your favorite song still
|
|
has a chance if WE KNOW about it. We are Serious. AND if you have a DAT
|
|
player or know where we can get one (rent) by all means let us know.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ART
|
|
|
|
We are accepting ART for the CD and perfer people from the DEMO scene.
|
|
Acceptable formats include PCX, JPG, GIF, TIF, and anything COREL DRAW
|
|
(4) and/or CANVAS will accept. UP to 3 drawings can be in full color,
|
|
2 drawings need to be in gray scale (will be halftoned), and one drawing
|
|
needs to be in 2 colors (PANTONE). Submit samples if you can but DO
|
|
notify us (dmw@eng.ufl.edu) if you can help. We have a couple people
|
|
but thus far no ART has been submitted.
|
|
|
|

((Section 6...Advertisements))
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
If you like "Punk" rock I highly recommend the "SPOKE" DONE CD for $7US ppd
|
|
put out by NO Idea Records, P.O. Box 14636, Gainesville, FL 32604. The
|
|
CD contains all the songs from 3 7" records SPOKE has released over the
|
|
past few year--13 songs in all. Three guys--bass, guitar, drums--who
|
|
are no longer together made up SPOKE which played in the GAINESVILLE area.
|
|
Color insert, jewel case, CD, and postage paid for $7--how much more Punk
|
|
can you get?

Again, nothing this week. This time the info.log was clean but I did
|
|
not have access to it. :(

|
|
((Section 8...Misc))
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
We, like most of you, have no idea where the other DEMOS/MUSIC/GFX placed
|
|
at ASSEMBLY '94. In fact, I do not remember seeing any percentage or
|
|
VOTE count like last year. Hey, even a list of ENTRIES for the 64K intros
|
|
and DEMOS would be nice. Seems like a conspiracy. Maybe it has something
|
|
to do about that "CD" the Future Crew is releasing next month. Anti up
|
|
and CA$H in!
|
