Lapse August 1994 Information Another month has passed and Lapse is chugging along at a respectable pace As always a few members have been gained and lost We were sorry to see Hellspawn and his expert ansi-drawing skills leave us he is now a member of Tribe Good Luck Hellspawn! One of the members we acquired this month is T E and he ll be helping us out in the ansi department As you will notice he is very productive and has improved drastically just in the past month You should expect great things from him in the future The viewer is faster and smoother than ever this month The Red Flame implemented hardware scrolling into it and also added virus protection As before LapseView views ANSI in all screen modes up to 1024x768 with VESA and also views AGSE The Red Flame s own graphic standard AGSE emulates real graphics with binary codes much like ANSI providing for extremely fast hi-resolution terminal emulation Unfortunately our VGA department was weak this month and you won t get to see much AGSE Look out for it in the future Any way there is some quality artwork in the pack from our artists and Insanitor continues to pump out nice tunes in S3M format Word has it that The Red Flame s next big addition to LapseView will be music-playing capabilities but until then I recommend PSI s Scream Tracker 3 01 to listen to Insanitor s and Game s music One thing that needs to be clarified Lapse is NOT accepting any more sites inside the continental-USA Until further notice we ll be sticking with the sites and HQ s we have now We ARE however looking for talented productive artists and musicians so feel free to apply via our application generator Things to look for in the near future of Lapse First a literature department We will probably be releasing separate bi-monthly lit packs hopefully starting with September Also we have considered creating a small group of coders who will be coding PPE s for PCBoard BBS Software Expect the final word on that next month Ansi s using ExtendedColor a k a iCEColor will most likely be in the next pack Until next month Delirium Tremens Lapse Founder Ansi Art Coordinator ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well as Delirium Tremens said we re sorry to see HellSpawn leave even for Tribe heh Anyway we picked up T E and DeathWish both very talented artists this month Phaser-X actually did something heh two logo s is all but still Also since I m mostly in charge of sites I d like to re-emphasize that we are *not* taking anymore sites in the Continental US Meaning if you re not in another country or in Hawaii or Alaska don t fucking bother heh Not to mention we hardly have any couriers (one and that s all) so most of the distribution will be done through internet which is ten thousands times more effective in my opinion =) Anyway it s just been another one of those hectic months I did weed out the site list to all of my ability if you were taken from the site list the reasons are either a) You re position hq was not needed and only cluttered up the site lists b) I have not heard from you for quite some time If you ve got a problem or need to contact me I m usually on irc in #ansi or #lapse or you can mail me at tkiller@xmission com or even call my board Deadly Intoxication (801)553-8644 This pack I included the slime-net pack (Lapse s official net) so that anyone who wishes to apply can fill out the application generator any questions comments or requests can be sent to the address above Time Killer Lapse Relations Organization Coordinator ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well we continue to go at it This month we ve improved the viewer or more precisely The Red Flame has improved the viewer We have a lot of new ANSI s and a few new tunes Unfortunatly our VGA department was weak this month but you ve already heard all that g Since I m mainly involved with the music I ll concentrate on that Insanitor takes the work prize this month He has been working his butt off composing and is improving with every song The Red Flame has shown us that he s multi-talented with coming up with a great s3m for the pack DOOM S3M Check it out it s really good And I managed to scrounge up one s3m I was really rushed with work this month so I was unable to do _too_ much My s3m is kind of a departure from the stuff I usually do But anyways I d really like to thank DT TRF and TK for keeping up coordination effort with the pack And Tae for giving us a boost in the ANSI department As far as other groups go and the only greet I make this month is to Wapatti One of the coolest guys in the scene I hope you make Trip big Anyways I m going to really try and get our music department the best in the scene (If it isn t already) Hopefully sometime next month I ll be putting together a music disk So look for it under the Lapse label Until next month game lapse Music Coordinator
