Lapse Information File July 1994 Well after a long month without releasing a pack we finally decided to let you take a look at our new work Hellspawn is most definetly the star of this pack He released quite a bit of work this month and all of it was quality Of course this pack is a little large considering it s two months of work LapseView was finished and we thank The Red Flame for putting in so much time and effort on this project It turned out to be one of the best viewers out there along with AGSE and SAUCE support Considering it was codes in pure c assembly it is alot faster than most viewers It also autodetects your graphics capabilities etc As for sites I have totally cut off all applications for sites in the US Anyone who runs a board in Europe or Canada is welcome to apply if they please If you are accepted you also have the choice of picking up Slime-Net Lapse s Official Network run by yours truly We were working on a merger with a smaller group called Illegal FX Unfortunatly it didn t work out due to conflicts of interests between the two of us We were then offered a merger with VOR which was quickly turned down due to both of our overwhelming demands =) Lapse takes to the internet I ve basically taken over the internet coordination We now have an irc channel called #lapse and a bot to keep the channel up and running 24 hrs a day If you have access to internet and need to contact me or any lapse member we can usually be found on #ansi or #lapse If you re applying for a certain position dcc your application to LpsServ our bot Our packs will also be available on hornet eng ufl edu I m glad to get this pack out Over the past through months I ve seen a lot of ugly things in modem world And I was about ready to call the whole thing quits But after seeing that there were still some decent people out there I convinced myself to stay with the scene My thanks go out to the members who continue to support and stick with the group Including (But not limited to g ) The Red Flame Conan DT Insanitor Rodent HellSpawn Ghent and of course Time Killer Who has probably put more hours into the group than anyone else There are others that I m just not remembering right now Probably because I haven t heard from them for so long But that s getting off-topic This month will contain the awesome new viewer by The Red Flame As well as contributions from some of our other awesome coders (Let s face it Our Coders ROCK g This means you Insanitor Conan and Ghent )) Some great ANSI s by Hellspawn Who turned out to be the worker that the ANSI department really needed Hopefully some VGA stuff by MindChild will included in the pack when it s released And finally Music Some GREAT stuff by insanitor should be included And I should have two or three s3m s in as well My first attempts at the s3m format Anyways We will keep plugging away trying to produce quality art of all kinds and flipping the bird at the established art hierachy game lapse Well it s finally here the July Lapse pack I m in truth I m surprised that we got it out there has been so much schlop we ve had to deal with that all the odds were basically against us But it s here I d like to think that that fact says something about Lapse but I could be wrong This pack marks the debut of LapseView which many people contributed to I d personally like to thank all of the Lapse members who offered invaluable programming assistance as well as those who downloaded each and every update and encouraged its development every step of the way This means a lot and in all probability without the support interest in the continued development of LapseView would probably not have been nearly as intense as it was As many of you know there was no June pack This was mainly because of conflicts within the Lapse hierarchy and the fact that we basically had no new art to put in the pack It seemed as if the future of Lapse might be in jeopardy A solution was reached we would continue on and produce a July pack with the combined work of both months But as the July 7th deadline loomed uncomfortably close it seemed as if the situation indeed had not changed Having spent countless hours writing the viewer it was particularly discouraging to think that there would be no art to view!! Suddenly about a week before the deadline the art began to literally flow in And it is good art not just hurried work I am very excited about the quality of the art we have to display this pack and the music is of unparalleled excellence I d like to thank all the people who worked feverishl to meet the deadline and especially would like to thank Time Killer for y sticking with us again since we really can t do it without him --TRF Lapse (mo0959@u cc utah edu) Group greets iFX SHiVER VOR and TRIP Greets from Time Killer Grin WintaRose wr! wr!
