Introduction
Havok has been formed from two other groups, MiC and Prophecy,
the first coming out of the Chicago burbs, and the other from
Ontario Canada. The first Havok Pack is looking pretty good,
it isnt huge, but we have learned to leave out the lower
quality ansis from past experience :
New Members:
Well since its the first pack we are all new members, and the
only member who joined and wasnt previously in either group is
the Replicant, and hes doing a great job.
Members resigning:
Polaris has resigned from our artwork division, something about
group wars :- but he was too busy to produce much anyways.
Tron also resigned from our artwork division, and he joined
another group based in 7O8 called Visual Insanity, so good luck
to him there. Spock also resigned from our Lit department
towards the end of March, so he still has quite a bit of work
in the pack.
News
Well since we are a new group we obviously need some more
artists/coders/members in general. I am not sure at this
point whether there will be an application generator in
the pack or not. Personally i dont see the need for one
since all they do is take up space and you need to upload
samples of your work anyway, so if you want to apply then
upload some of your work coding or art or whatever to
the Thieves Guild 7O8-261-1849 or The Acropolis 7O8-557-
2826.
Coding
Well in coding news we have had an interesting time, Bleys
who was supposed to write the viewer came down with a 1O2
fever right before he left on vacation, so he couldnt
finish it, but Lightning independent coder jumped in and
helped us out by coding a viewer in Q-Basic, and it was
pretty good considering time constraints, but fortunately
Techie happened to be at my house, and i said Think ya
could code us a decent viewer in 2 days?, and he came up
with the best viewer i have ever seen. Its a DOS command
line viewer with 25 line mode with scrollback up to 3800
lines or so, 640x480 mode, and 320x200 mode with scroll
back. The viewer is also a HUGE 3k or was it 2k big. In
other words, this thing kicks ass, its WAY faster then
ACiDView and its also 1/60 the size, and has scroll back
on 320x200 mode. So unless youre a windows-need-a-menu
type guy, this will be the viewer of choice for you.
Artwork:
Well in the RiP department the Hitman is still our sole
rip artist. Hes changed his style to make his work a
little more shaded, but hes still one of the best in
the biz in my opinion.
Our VGA department is getting better with new acquisitions
of DayTripper and Zaphod who is doing everything from VGA
to lit to ansi. Perkman is still turning out some work as
well, but overall id say weve added some depth in VGA this
month.
The ANSi artists have done a lot of outstanding work recently.
Id especially like to point out nightbreeds work which was
awesome this month. The Replicant has come in and become a
real impact player in our ansi department as well. And I will
always have an infinite ammount of gratitude to Sword Weaver
for working his ass off in the ansi department, and for having
a refreshing style away from all the blood and gore. I have
personally watched Sword Weaver develop into an awesome artist
and id like to thank him for his consistency and loyalty to
this group and the groups that merged to form it Hes the
only artist who has stuck with us since day 1 and helped bring
us through some tough times..
The Lit department is very solid this month with Dead Puppy, and
Zaphod contributing large quantities of work, and also Spocks
large quantities of work before he left at the end of the month.
Closing:
Well this has been the update for this month. Any questions
about Havok can be answered by myself on CiPNet, ThunderNet
or Valiant Net. Anyone interested in becoming a site for
havok can apply through CiPNet the official support net of
the group.
Greets:
Id like to greet ACiD, iCE and the other big guys, but hell I
dont know them, they dont know me, so what the fuck is the
point.
Visual Insanity - TP You are awesome, you and Tuborg made the
pack.
EMPiRE Studios - You guys are looking very good. Sorry the
Prophecy thing didnt work with you guys. :
The Stalker - We are right back where we started arent we :-
The Replicant - Damn am i glad i recruited you :-
Techie - Dude Kradview was awesome, now where is kraddraw,
kradterm, and kradbbs?
