          Coder wanted to work on a comercial game-project for Infogrammes
        on France. <bluesilence@dial.oleane.com>

          The day DJ 36 was released (with a review of Bring It Back/Calodox,
        of which Ps & Seven hoped there would be a final version with
        SB-support soon), the final version of Bring It Back/Calodox with
        SB-support was released at
        ftp://ftp.scene.org/incoming/ARF99/in64/cdx_bibf.zip :)

          "I", the first musicdisk of deranged, has been released at
        www.deranged.de. (3.31MB compressed).

          Some extremely impressive screenshots from Shad2 can be found on
        http://shad2.ifrance.com/shad2/page.htm. Can't wait to the final.

          Another final: Yume2000, at ftp.scene.org/incoming/TG99/demo.
        available as update (infy2k_u.zip) or full version (infy2000.zip)

        This week! I have been mostly eating... pain-killers


=====! interview !=============================================================

        Session Start: Fri Apr 30 22:10:02 1999

        *** ^Shodan^ has joined #demojournal

        <^Shodan^> tadaa

        <|ps|> hello! so, who are you? :)

        <^Shodan^> hi my friend! gah... i should have planned intelligent
                   things to tell :) well, i'm Shodan, supposedly from
                   planet Earth although the doctors can't be sure some
                   rumors claim i am a musician but i doubt it...
                   the laziest guy on earth, this is sure... both
                   musician/webmaster in Skytech and coordinator of
                   ARF!Studios the coolest label on Earth :)

        <|ps|> wow! the doctors arent sure? :) are you an alien like me? :)

        <^Shodan^> an alien... maybe...

        <|ps|> your not sure? im from kruptuii! where are you from? :)

        <^Shodan^> i think i'm the product of a failed genetic engineering
                   experiment. i'm from Zark, second planet from the left
                   after the Beta constellation. Nice pizzas over there if
                   you ask me

        <|ps|> really? i should try them when i go by next time..
               anyways, whats arf!studios?

        <^Shodan^> good question :)

        <|ps|> please do try to answer..

        <^Shodan^> basically, arf!studios is a bunch of people who share a
                   "cool" vision of the scene. ie a scene based on fun,
                   friendship, mutual respect, ... we are fed up with the
                   "elite" attitude

        <|ps|> how many people exactly?

        <^Shodan^> argh :) i _should_ know that, being the coordinator :))))
                   well, i think we're ver 130 now... mostly from France but
                   i wish ppl from all over the world join us!

        <|ps|> quickly.. use the infofile.. :P

        <^Shodan^> nonono i don't want to cheat! :) it's like for the "who
                   am i" question, i forced myself to remember without any
                   exterior help ;))

        <|ps|> how many from outside france are there?

        <^Shodan^> less than 10 :-/

        <|ps|> really? i though it was only me..

        <^Shodan^> you are one of them :)

        <|ps|> well... i knew that! :P

        <^Shodan^> you're the only one visiting the channel :)
                   anyway... the problem is maybe we don't spend enough time
                   to promote our label... i dunno...

        <|ps|> :) so you have organized arfparty! how was it? :)

        <^Shodan^> well, pretty cool, indeed, except that i ended it at the
                   hospital, but let's be objective... i think it was a cool
                   mood (not too many gamers/porn-leechers)
                   of course we had a LOT of material problems, but in a way
                   i liked that because many people came to help us, it was
                   really fun to be like 20 at the compomachine and 20 at
                   the mix table to let the compos running :)

        <|ps|> i was sleeping when you were taken to the hospital. what
               happened after all?

        <^Shodan^> well, i am someone very nervous in all times...
                   especially in my first party as an organizer :) add the
                   fact that i haddn't eaten and slept since 3 days (almost)
                   and it's simple : my nerves broke down :-//
                   but everyone at the party place was cool, Made, Arrakis,
                   Serb, Skyfire... they all showed me great support, for
                   which 'd like to thank them once again :)
                   (sounds like an Award Ceremony now eh) ;)

        <|ps|> not even your sorcery powers go against lack of food hei? :)

        <^Shodan^> i'm afraid not... anyway, if i don't consider my personal
                   party-ending, i think it was overall a cool party :)
                   many problems, but everybody understood that they were
                   mainly not our fault, and that we did everything we could
                   to make it happen!  we'll see for ARF 2... :)) some
                   mistakes won't be made twice, but overall the ambience
                   was cool, there were nice people, and that's what i like
                   in parties, it's meeting people!
                   actually, i almost never "work" at parties... i spend my
                   time walkin around and chatting with friends... it's so
                   much cooler than irc :))

        <|ps|> not even your sorcery powers go against lack of food hei? :)

        <^Shodan^> i answered that ... are you in some kind of loop ? :)
                   or is it a subtle trick to talk about what made me so
                   "famous" in parties, my legendary magic hat ? :)

        <|ps|> yes!!!!! the red-hat! :) where did you get it? :)

        <^Shodan^> it's a long story, and i don't think it will be very
                   interesting... :)  well, it was a gift i got in a holiday
                   camp... in the pyrenees mountains, south of france, near
                   spain then i brought it just for fun at a party... and
                   everyone found it cool, so it kinda became my "trademark"
                   ;) i guess today, more people know me on the scene because
                   of my red hat than because of my crappy music (hopefully!)

        <|ps|> hehe :) what sort of style do you enjoy tracking?

        <^Shodan^> crap :)

        <|ps|> :P cammon...

        <^Shodan^> mmmmmh... let's say i like orchestral style! you know the
                   kind of very epic tunes like John Williams, or our idol
                   Nobuo Uematsu :)

        <|ps|> who are those? :) no really.. tell me. my teeth hurt! :D

        <^Shodan^> :O :) John Williams is Steven Spielberg's "own"
                   musician... the guy who made musics for Star Wars,
                   Indiana Jones, etc... and Nobuo, as you should know, is
                   the guy who composed the soundtracks of all Final Fantasy
                   episodes :)
                   my problem in fact, is that i spend all my life listening
                   to music... many different musics (trip-hop, reggae, ska,
                   alternaative rock, ...) so i actually have no time for
                   composing my own music :)

        <|ps|> which brings us to RPG's! whats so fascinating about these
               little games?

        <^Shodan^> i feel like i am trapped, and driven into an interview
                   where all the questions and transitions have been
                   imagined before you even began to interview me...
                   right? :)

        <|ps|> no, your wrong! but everything fits so well! :D

        <^Shodan^> what if i answered you something like "i love RPG's
                   because there are a lot of kiwis inside ?"  :)))

        <|ps|> i would go: "thats cool to know, can we get back to the
               subject please?"

        <^Shodan^> well, i always loved roleplaying games, i practice them
                   since i was 8 y/o... i mean "real", table RPG's... then i
                   discovered the Final fantasy series, and all the
                   japanese-style RPG's (Phantasy Star, Breath of Fire, ...)
                   and well, i just fell in love with those...
                   i don't know why... let's not fall into cheap psychology
                   :) maybe i'm deeply unsatisfied with my life which is so
                   boring, so i escape into imaginary worlds... :)) by the
                   way, go see eXistenZ,  by David Cronenberg, it really
                   kicks ass :)

        <|ps|> so lets confuse everyone who reads the interview by talking
               about details of ff3! hows that? :D

        <^Shodan^> we're going to sound like gamers if we go on like this :))

        <|ps|> so what? :)

        * |ps| casts a fire3 on shodan

        <^Shodan^> well, isn't it called "demojournal" or something ? ;o)

        <|ps|> dart! your no fun! :)

        * ^Shodan^ has a reflect since round one of the fight... too bad for
                   your ass :)

        <|ps|> ack!!!

        <^Shodan^> hahahahahahahahahahahah i tricked you at your own game :)

        * |ps| now has a burned ass and a teeth ache

        <^Shodan^> that's what i told you earlier on #arfstd... we need to
                   inflict you more damage, so you don't stay focused on your
                   teeth-ache ;))

        <|ps|> lets get back to arf!party how where the compos? :)

        <^Shodan^> well, there were more entriens than i had initially
                   thought... on music and gfx there were some nice
                   things... although to be honest, i was so stressed that i
                   just remember organizing the compos, but actually not too
                   much of what went on :)
                   only two intros, but both cool, although very different:
                   one ansi-intro by my friends of injection, and one very
                   nice intro by calodox...

        <|ps|> hehe, what about shad2? :)

        <^Shodan^> i'm coming to demos :)

        <|ps|> so come! :D

        <^Shodan^> of course Shad2... and how they used a video mode that
                   our projector didn't support... so they had to heroically
                   recompile it at 5 AM and it was done on the big screen :)
                   i loved that :)

        <|ps|> everyone looking at guille recompiling..

        <^Shodan^> the demo itself was very nice, even if i think it was not
                   as "new" as Shad1 :)
                   other cool stuffs... the VIP invtro by popsy team kicked
                   ass !!!, and i also really liked your demo (even if the
                   colors were weird :))))

        <|ps|> i started singing! do you recall that? :P

        <^Shodan^> yup, that was cool ;) i loved it when we started messages
                   on the microphone with Traven playing a little
                   "airport-style-pay-attention" jingle ;) i don't know if
                   it was the same for everyone there, but i really spent a
                   good time :)

        <|ps|> hehe :)

        <|ps|>  really liked your demo (even if the colors were weird :))))
                what colors? :P

        <^Shodan^> ok, i should have said "colors" sorry ;)

        <|ps|> hehe, thx anyways! :D

        <^Shodan^> but i never imagined before that it was so tiring to
                   organize a party...

        <|ps|> what was the worst thing about organizing the party..

        <^Shodan^> the worst thing ? i'd say the pressure... the stress
                   like... oh if it goes wrong, everyone will blame me...
                   that kinda stuff

        <|ps|> before or at the party?

        <^Shodan^> mainly during the party itself... when murphy's law
                   begins to randomly strike... :)

        <|ps|> hehe oh yeah, what happened with the fast compos and the wild?

        <^Shodan^> argh, you know that :) well, there was one bad thing
                   about the party-place : the roof was windowed, so at
                   daytime it was impossible to pass anything on the big
                   screen... and as we were late for the compos (as in
                   _every_ party ever) the sun appeared before we could pass
                   them all... i apologize once again to all those who worked
                   hard for those compoes...

        <|ps|> there there!

        * |ps| gives a hanky to shodan

        <^Shodan^> what's a hanky ?

        <|ps|> a white piece of cloath! and you blow your nose into it :D

        <^Shodan^> i hope so... it was NOT our fault, our sponsor kinda
                   tricked us... we were supposed to get the projector stuff
                   the first day, but finally we had to wait more... this
                   guy wasn't faithful that's all... that played a lot on my
                   nerves too actually... maybe it's because of him that i
                   ended up at the hospital actually :))

        <|ps|> next year you'll have a big-screen earlier right? :D

        <^Shodan^> hey, didn't you like our big screen ? :)
                   come on, table napkins nailed to the wall !
                   it was a pure ARF-Screen (tm) ;))

        <|ps|> yeah! except that little crack on the middle.. your papers
                glued to the wall didnt cover well.. hehe :P

        <^Shodan^> oh nevermind :)

        <|ps|> next year it will be the same ARF-Screen (tm)? :D

        <^Shodan^> actually 6 hours before we thought we would have to
                   project directly on the walls so i think it was not so
                   bad after all :) i don't even know if there will be a
                   ARF2 actually... i can only say i hope so... :)
                   did you like arf party ?

        <|ps|> ofcourse! i loved arf! :) why are you saying that? because of
               skyfire not beeing around to help?

        <^Shodan^> i'd like better not to go into those details... if you
                   don't mind :)

        <|ps|> i do mind! :) oh yeah! you as a mighty sorcerer are turned
               into a bat ^^^o^^^ (flap flap) :)

        <^Shodan^> hahah exactly, we had someone at arf party who hadn't
                   registered ! a BAT ! i loved that too :) a cool little
                   bat flying all over the party room, remember ?

        <|ps|> it was a bird! not a bat! :)

        <^Shodan^> DEFINITELY NOT! there have been photos taken! there are
                   proofs!

        <|ps|> yeah but that was a rubber bat wasnt it? :P

        <^Shodan^> NO! shit, i can't find the photo. well it WAS real !
                   trust me !

        <|ps|> ok :) it was you who turned someone into a bat.. tell the
               truth!!

        <^Shodan^> why do i get only serious questions ? :)

        <|ps|> because your a very serious person! :D

        <^Shodan^> i wish i could do that... fortunately for my math teacher
                   i can't :)

        <|ps|> how come?

        <^Shodan^> because i'm a liar, my magical powers don't really come
                   from my hat... they come from my magic cat but i don't
                   take it to parties :)
                   i think i'm beginning to type nonsense :)

        <|ps|> whats your cat's name?

        <^Shodan^> i have two, Gizmo and Dantec and i don't think it is of
                   any interest for your worldwide readers :)

        *** _iceball_ has joined #demojournal

        <_iceball_> :)

                 now :P]

        <^Shodan^> ps: if you don't find better questions than asking me my
                   cats' names i think this should better stay unpublished ;)

        <|ps|> er.. iceball: im doing an interview here...

        <^Shodan^> ice: i think i will do so soon :)

        * |ps| has no shrink!

        <|ps|> do i live dangerously or what? :)

        <^Shodan^> ps: everyone in woody Allen's movies has a shrink, so as
                   he's my cinema idol, i'm gonna have one ;))

        <_iceball_> so shodan tell us, why r u famous?

        <^Shodan^> i'm not famous ! i am supposed to be a musician but i
                   track only crap i am supposed to coordinate arf studios
                   but people wait for like two months before they get
                   registered i am supposed to be a webmaster but well, who
                   can't with dreamweaver ? :)

        * |ps| doesnt have dreamweaver!

        <|ps|> where can i get it?

        <^Shodan^> i dunno :) with my 9600 bds modem, you don't imagine i
                   download my softs , do you ? :)
                   in fact sometimes i wonder what i am doing in the
                   demoscene... actually every 2 months i get depressed and
                   say i'm going to stop it all... and i would, if there
                   weren't all my cool scene friends like you ps and many
                   others :)

        <|ps|> :P so what do you do on real lie? then you hear "revien
               shodan" and come back all over again! :D

        <^Shodan^> real life? well, i'm supposed to be a student....
                   which obviously means that i never go to university so
                   spend most time away :)

        <|ps|> what are you studying?

        <^Shodan^> :)) i don't remember i should check it some day
                   i heard rumors saying i have exams soon
                   who knows ? :)

        <|ps|> hehehehehehehehe :) how old are you again? :)

        <^Shodan^> :) huh... 20 i guess... but i feel like i'm 10 and 30
                   y/o t the same time

        <|ps|> why?

        <^Shodan^> strange :) i dunno :) that's why i'm gonna see a shrink i
                   guess ;))

        <|ps|> i can imagine the shrinks questions: and you say you wear a
               tall-red-hat at these so called.. demoparties hei?

        <^Shodan^> and then he silently writes on his notepad "dangerous
                   schizophrenic psychopath"

        <|ps|> hehehe :)

        <_iceball_> hey my shrink didnt write anything on her notepad after
                    i said i was into emulation
                    she asked what was that

        <|ps|> bahahahahaahahah
               yeah! i just recalled we havent talked about cult movies yet

        <^Shodan^> ice: maybe, but maybe you wear decent hats when you do
                   so... not stupid red ones with little bells :) btw psy,
                   are you gonna let this stuff upside down or rebuild it a
                   little..?

        <|ps|> upside down looks cool
               NONE SHALL PASS!!!!

        <^Shodan^> don't get me started ;))) otherwise next demojournal will
                   be 12123 Mb large and everybody will be pissed off while
                   downloading their mail ;)

        <|ps|> lets go to camelot... best we dont go to camelot. it is a
                silly place anyways..

        <^Shodan^> urgh.... ok. you'll be the one responsible for this but...

        <|ps|> :)

        <^Shodan^> WE WANT ... A SHRUBBERY !!!!!!!
                   tadaaaa
                   Bravely bold sir Robin, rode forth from Camelot

        <^Shodan^> he was not afraid to die oh brave sir Robin
                   he was no at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
                   brave brave brave brave sir Robiiiiiiiiin

        * |ps| laughs

        * |ps| 's teeth hurt

        <|ps|> au heheheheh au hehehehe

        <^Shodan^> i think everyone should watch monty python's holy grail
                   at least once a week... there would be no need for
                   antidepressive drugs anymore ! :)

        <|ps|> ;)

        <_iceball_> ps: i know how StarWars:episode1 ends!

        <|ps|> ice: how? they all die?

        <^Shodan^> What makes you say she is a witch ? ....... she turned me
                   into a newt!..... A NEWT ???? ....... uh.., i got better
                   ;))

                   ... i play guitar and sing in a reggae/punk band which is
                   very cool and uh, i read much too Tom Sharpe rulezzzzzz !

                   demojournal) ;))

        <_iceball_> whats your favourite aunt and why?

        <^Shodan^> that's a tough one if Sandra Bullock has a nephew, then i
                   guess my favourite aunt would be this guy's one :)

        <|ps|> no aunts? :)

        <^Shodan^> next stupid question ? :)

        <|ps|> how many icecreams have you eaten during your whole lifetime?

        <^Shodan^> too many i guess :) next ? :))

        <|ps|> whats the capital of zimbabwe?

        <^Shodan^> Antananarivo ;))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

        <|ps|> wrong! thats the capital of madagascar! :)

        <_iceball_> and etiopia?

        <|ps|> ice: no, just madagascar... :P

        <^Shodan^> ps: you are a traitor! you used to ask everybody the
                   capital of madagascar !! :)

        <|ps|> hehe :D

        <_iceball_> that kinda drools out of your tongue doesnt it?
                    antananananananana...rivo

        <|ps|> now i really dont know what to ask..

        <_iceball_> sounds like a super attack from dragon ball

        <|ps|> hehe

        <_iceball_> 'darn! the super mega hyper monster from hell (tm) didnt
                    die! lets use the super attack!'
                    'antanananananananananananarivo'
                    (BLAM) (KAPOW)

                   anyone write to me after reading what's obviously the
                   mental incoherence of a neurotic schizophren?

        <|ps|> hehe :) well.. i officially declare this interview over then..

=====! demo !==================================================================

        Millenium Fever by Bad Karma (party-version)
        Found at www.scene.org
        1st place at Proxy'99

        System requirements:
        "Best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0".
        Right... we should believe that :).
          3MB HD, VESA2, Midas for sound. I guess a Pentium with 16 MB should
        be enough.

        The Demo:
          My, this is a bit strange. Almost no 3D, no amazing new effects,
        no zillion colors... but it's not one of those hi-res design demos
        either. A bit different from today's demos, and I must say, I like
        this. The code is nothing special, we have crossfaded pictures, nice
        particles, anti-aliased 3D-wireframes, a wobbling background
        thingie... That's it. Pictures ? Black/white scanned photos and an
        ugly font. So what makes it good? Hmm, maybe it has to do something
        with the feelings... Serial killers, violence spreading like circles
        in the water, "I AM CHRIST !",... Not exactly positive feelings, but
        maybe contagious? Millenium fever ...

        The Music:
          Feverish indeed. The same tune of electronic beeps, always
        repeating, sometimes there is a break, a drum solo or so, but then
        the half-melodic pattern catches on again. I would have liked a
        little bit more variation, but probably they made it this way to fit
        the demo, which repeats parts too. And they succeeded, I have to
        admit.

        Worth the download?
          You can here people saying that learning how to code a demo is far
        more diffucult now than it used to be. Realtime raytracing, a heavy
        3D-engine that equals those used in professional games, more & more
        new effects everyone has to learn... Those people, and everyone still
        learning to make a demo, should watch this and see how much Bad Karma
        can do with such simple effects, and a nice idea. (No, I don't
        believe in the idea behind the demo, but it is good enough to make a
        nice demo with it). Bad side of the "simple coding" is that they
        don't seem to have a compressor, as the zipfile is about half the
        size of the uncompressed demo. So all you have to do is download
        this 1.7 MB zip from your favorite ftp site, and watch it. And have
        a happy life after it.
                                                                        Seven

          ps on the keys. I must say i really enjoyed this one. Long time i
        didn't downloaded things out blind and i did it with the proxy
        releases and this was one of the few that really impressed me. This
        is what demos are all about. Not fancy code and 3d-engines but design
        and emotions.
                                                                           ps


=====! intro !=================================================================

        "Ro bott" (final) by Koma
        2nd at the gathering 99 64k intro compo
        <ftp://ftp.scene.org/incoming/TG99/64k/robottff.zip>

        Code: Virne
        Music: Loke
        Gfx: Anger

          Another typical Virne intro. Nice music. Awesome style and great
        compacting code. Uses high-color on a very smart way. The brilliant
        colors Virne brags so much about on the infofile do look splendid.
        This is a little hard do describe but it looks like an alpha channel.
        The more centered you are the more colorfull you get. If you get to
        high or to low you get more dark or more light. See it and you'll
        understand what i'm talking about.. The rest of the demo is just
        weird things moving and teh story of our friendly and apparently
        drunk aswell little robot. How he can hear more than us mear humans
        how he can see beyond what we see and understand our world better.
          Ro bott is tired now! :)
                                                                           ps


=====! music !=================================================================

        "Oddities" musicdisk by Basehead/fm (december 1995)
        www.hornet.org (five musicians)

          Long ago before Pentium's existed there was a little boy called
        basehead. Well.. he wasn't that little and it wasn't that long ago
        either... Anyways.. That little boy was in a music-group called
        five musicians. I think he still is but anyways... It was new year's
        day and he was bored like hell so he decided to release another
        musicdisk. And there was much rejoicing among the sceners (hurray)
          This musicdisk is a very simple way to show basehead's musical
        gifts. It has 6 songs and all are great. Just a little nostalgia
        thang going on..
                                                                           ps
