So where is the 2nd Reality by Future Crew?
|
|
It's the 65th day since Assembly '93 and the winning demo is not released
|
|
yet. How is this possible? According to some messages in USENET NEWS comp.sys.
|
|
ibm.pc.demos "FC ARE LAME" (but we disagree with this). But if FC want to
|
|
prevent such messages they'd better release their demo soon. DO NOT LET US
|
|
WAIT TILL 100th ANNIVERSARY!

Oct 2nd Hehe... Still no Second Reality. Just hang in there!
|
|
|
|
Sep 2nd Second Reality should come out pretty soon now, but
|
|
we wouldn't want to give you an exact date since you
|
|
never really know when things start to fall apart :-)
|
|
|
|
Why does adapting the demo to SB take so long? Their S3M routines were made
|
|
far before GUS appeared, so what's the problem?
|
|
|
|
Just one note: there are some rumors that FC are gonna release 2nd Reality
|
|
at Oct 9. This is what Abbys (SysOp of Starport, FC's HQ) said this weekend.
|
|
On ftp.uwp.edu was also created a directory:
|
|
2nd_Reality_will_be_released_on_Oct_9
|
|
|
|
And info from pulse004 (Extreme's diskmag):
|
|
they call FC disorganizers of ASM'93 because there was a big mess. And: why
|
|
were all demos presented on mono devices and only 2nd Reality was shown on
|
|
stereo??? Maybe it's because FC used surround sound in their demo and that
|
|
wouldn't be obvious if all demos were in stereo. Why didn't all the groups
|
|
have the same conditions??? The Party'93 will be a battlefield!!!
|
|
|
|
On 8th-10th Oct there will be an Aggresive Party in Kerava/Finland and
|
|
someone said that 2nd reality will be released on this Party, because FC are
|
|
organizers of PC section on Aggresive Party... (or maybe disorganizers
|
|
again?)
|

And next rumor about FC: Marvel's Ice Kingdom (ASM '93 gfx winner) seems to
|
|
be copied from a fantasy book. This is the story so far:
|
|
P.B. uploaded bear1.gif to this site with this text:
|
|
"Its a picture that Marvel from FC copied and won ASM'93 with"
|
|
When you compare both pictures you can see that bear1 is a scanned image,
|
|
but they are quite similar. Marvel surely did a good job BUT HE STOLE THE
|
|
PICTURE. It was not his idea, his own creativity. There are messages in
|
|
USENET NEWS that the money should be returned, the painter of the original
|
|
should be found and given the money :-) So is anybody from FC gonna explain
|
|
this? BTW: how about the copyright in the bottom of bear1!!!
|
|
|
|
FC are definitly losing their reputation?
