 Go vote for your favourites! Yes, it is that time of the year again when people gather and give nice presents to each other to show how much they like (or dislike - depends on the present) each other. So why shouldn"t You take Your chance of giving Your personal Christmas present to the scene? Why shouldn"t You take part in the Official Christmas Demo / Music Compo taking place for the second time now?

When I downloaded Godjul2003.zip on Monday December 8th, it was "intact", so probably something has happened with the archive past then.
Btw, it is a cover of ... bah, I recognize the song but can’t name it. "En busschauff?r" is all I think of.

Hmm ok; it may be more known as "Oh Christmas Tree" and of course it covers more than one tune.

Yep, Asterion rules!
My song once was intact but now it’s lost... should be working soon though since I’ve put the church64-industries into work with it.. "Oh Tannenbaum" is the first song’s name but actually there’s one of them even I can’t remember the name of, haha!

Maybe the compo deadline should be 24th December. Make voting for one week, and finish voting on New Year’s Ever or New Years Day. With results following later.

But if it wpould be in the music or picture section somebody would call "cheating! there is music in the pic to influence the audience" or "cheating! there is a picture shown with the music. This does influence the audience!". It was handed to me as demo and i do not see any reason why i should change that. Although i must admit that some sort of animation would have made it more demo-a-like (a scroller for example what shouldn’t be too hard to do at all). (:
Oh, and please don’t be too angry that the update will come on saturday as...well...i guess you do not want to read stupid excuses, just don’t get too upset about this second delay (does anybody know a good and small ftp-client by the way? i am just on a 56k connection at my parents home now and there is no such tool installed over here)

Ha! After a number of hours of scratching my head, I’ve found a difference (bug?) between the player routine in the editor and the one in the packer of the music prg I’m using.

Music is due to upload later.

[83] :
23. Dec 2003 06:55
that’s why I just stole a classic tune and arranged it as I felt when rushing through the cities and malls collecting all necessary and often more less necessary gifts for those I love (or those I have the duty to). But when you spent little time just standing still and observe the crowd passing by, it makes me feel quiet and calm. Isn’t that pre-xmas stress disorder??

28. Dec 2003 00:17
Ah well, I thought so. Would be kind of pointless releasing several entries in the same compo under different handles/groups. ;-)
[94] :
28. Dec 2003 17:28
Yes, and while I thought there were some stylistic similarities in our coding work, Prowler is clearly the superior musician.
[95] :
29. Dec 2003 12:03
It might get interesting if one person released two very similar entries under different handles, and then arranged a public fight with the other himself about ripping you off. Maybe that has been done already?

Easter is the time of the year when you’ll freeze your (insert various body parts here) of being on a big german scene party without a working heat system and holes in the walls that are bigger then the entrance doors!
Voting should end when enough votes arrived. (And judging from the number of votes that allready made it to me it may be easter, yes)

I dont want to bring you down, pi, but maybe you should make the next compo jury-based, not vote-based.

See you at brechpunkt

pi
[115] :
10. Jan 2004 18:10
No deadline alright, but a stupid question; do you mean that 1 is what I wan’t to have as 1st place or that it’s like points so the best gets 10 points? I figure it’s the 1st interpretation that’s correct but saw the other possible aswell.. %-)
Prowler64
