I'll pay you.. I felt sorry for him in the end. :) must have been round the same time nrg joined because he makes cracking joints! sulphur: how many ppl are in tesko? he rolls them with his eyes closed. :) I sent some code and gfx and I was signed up ehehe Tesko derives itself from several demo group's over the years. Way back in October 1991 a new Amiga demo group called Doom was born. This group's talents were quite poor for a long while, until the group underwent a name and style change in February 1993. Out went the boring Doom name and serious wannabe demo group... in came a new crazy (almost Melon like) style and the name... Voodoo Design! Morale boosted somewhat and Voodoo put out a few demos and intros plus the well known UK Charts. Until October 1993, when Voodoo disbanded into separate groups (Tesko and Killer Zombie Dezines) cut'n'paste from webpage. ha. :) blah 12 people in tesko at the moment.. actually might be 13.. depends if trev included sin. our newest coder.. we aren't recruiting any more for now all from the UK? shall we talk about how big and up'n'coming the uk demo scene is? nrg: please do! :P about tesko = http://www.scentral.demon.co.uk/teskodev/about.htm psychic: yep.. all uk tallent Im thinking. barog help me out we got a mailing list :) the ukscene yea.. nrg: i'll do this bit.. i'm good at speeches well.. yea leave the boozin to me I'm in Bradford with TimJ at the moment and last night in the pub we discussed Deja Vu. over a couple beers :P Tim views the ukscene in exactly the same way that MajicM and I have been talking about it. The scene needs to talk, to get together.. it needs to have something added to it (or maybe something so it can develop) needs a new attitude If people can meet, and experience scene meets again, then groups will form and we can share ideas to help the uk scene improve to become the BEST scene out of all international scenes.. all we need, is people at the party.. to make the effort.. so the point is... all in dejavu? like in last year? hei? I think the problem is that people in the ukscene see coders etc. as nerds well.. dejavu last year wasn't planned at all like this one.. dejavu 1 was minor in comparison.. this time we have a domain a good site.. how many ppl did turn up on last dejavu? 20? 10.. but we held it in a house (this house) this is held in a proper partyplace.. *** sulphur (sulphur@stcs.demon.co.uk) has joined #tesko ok.... moving on... what are your favorite coders/gfx/musicians? where was i? =) sulphur: connection reseted by peer! :P my fav. coder is that sulphur guy from tesko.. he rules. =) I think we should have more of tesko here yeah.. lame connection. and some beer. trev for a start [ed: well... we go with what we got! :)] we have sponsorship, full compo events, prizes, special events, big screen, radio network, full time DJing, fast network, Interest from trade press and magazines nrg: but he's not around! :( and joints. and we have a pie throwing contest :) at barog. where is that tubby bitch anyway? i have no fave coder.. you can't tell.. you'd need to see their code.. anyone can produce end results.. barog: oh they can? psychic: yea.. you could make an animation and display it without people knowing psychic_s: do u know we have a female member? shes hot :) barog: shut up :b barog: wouldnt the size like... give your technic away? psychic: nah.. it was just an example.. psychic: in other words.. i don't have fave coders plug for dejavu 2.. come ppl come.. theres going to be one garanteed girl there! yes you heard me! sulphur: u dressing up as a girl? :P Psychic: I have to go phone needed, forget all I said, I still think you should wait and set a date to chat to all tesko. cya mates [ed: less one!] hah.. nah.. we have a female member.. she is a director :) nrg: it was originally only supposed to be interview with sulphur... only its better with more than 1 guy! :) the female member is our mascot.. sulphur's sister :) who i'm supposed to be ringing.. so i better not forget everyone. not trev.. coz he's lame :) sulphur: hu!!! how does your sister look like? :P im off have phun! check out the pics on the tesko site :) *** NRG- has quit IRC she was at dejavu. gimmegimmegimme trev is busy.. can't come on.. he's going out www.scentral.demon.co.uk www.scentral.demon.co.uk .. watch u don't dribble too much :) bah.. beat me to it. trevs shy :) if my connection goes down! dont worry! its only the drool electrecuting with my keyb! *** barog has quit IRC hah forget barog.. he is a lamer ;) hehe what about graphicians and musicians? any favorites? *** barog has joined #tesko sorry double clicked hmm.. lazur of pulse.. musicians.. maybe pulse again. :) ..

Nice interview with sulphur and barog of Tesko! Cortesy appearance of NRG! :)] =====! demo !================================================================== Moai by Nomad (party-version) Found at http://files.theparty.dk 1st place at The Party 8. System requirements: DOS: Pentium, Univbe or Vesa 16-bit, SB or GUS, 5.5 MB HD. Windows: DirectX 3. Memory requirements are not listed, but I read on comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos that the party-version requires 64MB (Wow! I have that :)), but the final version should work with "only" 32MB. The party-result: Well, there has been quite some discussion whether Moai or State of Mind/Bomb deserved to win at TP8. Well, Moai DID win, so apparently they deserved it, isn't it ? But State of Mind feels better the more you look at it, while Moai has a large "surprise-factor". After looking at it three times, it's less appealing because you know what will happen. So, you may wish to skip the next section till the "The demo"-part, because I'll tell the story, spoiling the fun of those who haven't seen it yet. You've been warned. The story: Do you know the Easter-island? It's an island in the Pacific where there are old statues, mostly very large faces, looking at the sea. Moai (i with 2 points on it, nowhere on my keyboard) is the name of either the statues or the civilisation that created them (I'm not sure. Do you care?). Enough geographic bullshit. The demo starts with a 3D-scene of 4 of those statues looking at a stormy sky. The credits are crossfaded over this, and the title screen is shown (black & white, yuck). Then a (hand-drawn?) picture of the heads is shown while the rest of the demo is being loaded. The main part starts at the entrance of an ancient temple. We walk through several tunnels, arriving in a large hall with 6 statues, a mirror and some kind of pointy mirror-ball, hanging from the ceiling. This part reminds me of The Fulcrum/Matrix. Suddenly, a part of the wall rotates and an Moai-priest enters the room. The mirror rotates and some laser-guns, made of stone, fire at the mirror-ball at the ceiling. The bullets reflect on the mirror and hit the priest, who melts into the ground. He re-appears below the mirror-ball, now wearing a white costume. The whole hall transforms to a disco, the music changes and the priest starts dancing. This is really surprising, the first time you see it. Even the statues are dancing, really funny. Then the main characters are shown with their name, like at the end of Tribes. When you think the end of the demo is reached, the camera zooms out, showing a television in a modern room with books, an aquarium, a computer, ... When we walk out the door however, we are back in the temple-hall with the dancing statues, and back in the modern room, the priest is dancing. The greetings appear, while the camera keeps zooming out, revealing the television, then turning to the priest and zooming out again. If this sounds confusing, the effect itself is even more confusing. You really lose your grip on time/space perception (don't use drugs, watch Moai :)). Then some boasting about the nr of faces, objects, etc appear, not really interesting. The end-credits are original: a text saying who did what, morphs into a 3D-modelling of that person. The demo: Basically, it's another of those high-quality 3D-world shows. No 2D-effects, hardly any pictures, just 3D-studio objects. The quality of the code is hard to judge on a P2 350, but there are omnilights, mirrors, recursive vectors, ... Yes, all done before, but the best thing about this demo is not the 3D-engine, it's the ideas and surprises (design, if you wish). Nomad really tried to be original, and I think they succeeded. There are some links to other famous demos (Tribes, The fulcrum), and some little jokes (3de Moai: DiCaprio :)). The music fits the feeling of the demo, calm and exotic in the first part, changing to some disco-tune at the second. The music is an .XM, not an MPEG. Good. Worth the download ?: It's a real party-demo, grabbing your attention and really surprising the FIRST time you see it (and that's all that counts at a party. Unless you want all demos to be shown three times). It's a must-see, but not something you will keep on your harddisk forever. Apologies: Yes, this review is way too long. I know. Sorry Psychic. But we all know how long it may take before the final version is released, so I wanted to keep those people up-to-date who don't have 64MB, didn't go to The Party, but want to know what everyone on the net is talking about :). [ed: it's all fine by me! :)] Seven =====! intro !================================================================= Alien Sex Clone - Fudge ----------------------- Fudge has already proved that they are THE masters of 64k intros, and they didnt dissappoint us with the new member of the clone series. Im not going to describe the intro effect by effect, itd take too long. Instead, id like to talk about the overall feeling itself, which is just great. First, its good to hear that synthesized music (i mean synth. samples of course) does not automatically mean 303 like fast-paced techno music. The song just fits great to the intro itself, mild melody with nice colors, and - traditionally - eye-pleasing textures. The code itself seems to be good too - it's fast, accurate, even in 512x384 (which is strange, considering that my video card doesnt support it - and still, it runs perfectly). Fudge guys took their time and came up with a long intro which ISNT boring - not at all. Some effects seem familiar, but take another look: they've been redesigned, at least most of them. Alien Sex Clone by Fudge is a MUST for every scener - no doubt. Oh, and it won the TP98 64kb intro competition, congrats to Fudge, hope to see some more from them soon. =====! mod !=================================================================== favourite song review by jaffa/static (jaanto@cc.helsinki.fi) song: space debris author: captain lenght: 5:06 type: 4 channel mod the song begins with nice choirs and filter sweeps. then begins the melody and the drums which aren't the usual 909 or 808 and sound acoustic. it sounds a lot like it's played live and it's not so minimalistic as the music nowdays is. it can be heard that the maker has done a lot for it. it sounds a little like technotronic and gives a good look of the music made back then. the samples sound like sampled from a digital synthesizer. something like a roland d? a very nicely organized song in 4 channels, a classic which doesn't die. you can download it from http://www.hamster.dk/~hem/mods/spacedeb.zip jaffa/static =====! quote !================================================================= Shut your mouth and get back in line, and if you don't like it, well, it suits us just fine...

However, for the dead, drunk and uninformed, we are going to say that YALP is the oldest great Yugoslav demo party, that two summer ones have been held by now, and that we are just inviting you to the first winter YALP. The date is January 23rd, and the address...........[fine, when and where?] is Radomira Vujovica 3, Belgrade. The easiest way to find us is to reach the hospital "Dragisa Misovic" by public transportation lines 40, 41, 42 or 59, or the "Topciderska zvezda" square by the line 43, and then follow the attached map. The door gets opened at 12:oo (noon) and closed somewhere during the next night or morning.

[ok, i'm definitely coming!] =====! DSYS reactions !======================================================== [editor: this is an ICQ log of a conversation between me and Programmer/Universe. Me and prog though it would be appropriate to share it with the rest of the demoscene] dsys has been released! dsys? what's that? doomsday's demomaker! =) system really? and what does it do? makes the doomsdays demos! like boost,off and elektronics =) it runs a script, if u know smtg about 3d and gfx u can make a demo without coding at all!!! Does it has Windows interface to create good demos? no... no interface... all txt script uh... now the scene will be flooded with a 'dsd alike' demos? im waiting for reactions on that! ghm write down my own reaction , ok? :) [ed: NO hehe!] i reckon some articles will be written about that! There was some effects in last doomsday demos, looking always the same , and there was some different 3d scenes. To their end, they have released a DSYS. Or haven't released, anyway. But for now, it will be called 'lame' as it was done 5 years ago with the famous program called 'intromaker' have you heard about it? the guys lived far from each other! MRI wrote the script reader so the gfx dudes could test some 3d/gfx ideas without needing the coder around! no! can't say i heard about it! u want me to copy what u are writing? (write down my own reaction...) yes , I want you to copy it. If their system can just use 'internal' effects, it will kill the scene. never heard? where can I download this system? no! i think it can use some externals... i dont recall very well, i only read a little of some info files... on ftp://demo.cat.hu/New/ (system or smtg) its 7 megs with the examples (boost and off) I want to :) But I will say more , when I will get an archive [editor: there! hope this little article can unleash some opinions about dsys... What will happen when a gfx/sound duo wins some demoparty with a demo done with dsys? If you read the infofile on dsys, MRI already says that to do such demos it does still take lot of talent, predicting scene speculation. Let's see what the future brings :)] =====!

The best demo from each voter gets 100% and the worst 0%. This votesystem is publicly available in linux and dos4gw versions, probably in source form in the future. Other features include addition of comments from each voter, the ability to abstain from saying anything about some production (like, if you're jurying in a compo where you have your own prod and don't want to vote yourself, it's possible). ?------------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - !====:] end [:================================================================= :---------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - If you want to subscribe and get this on your virtual door steps every weekend just mail psychic@esoterica.pt saying that! :) You can also consult our fresh internet homepage for a taste of good things demojournal.planet-d.net Demojournal staff: Editor........................Psychic Symphony Web-master.............................Receptor <_receptor@yahoo.com> That's all for this week.
