With music. Fill in some dead time. Weekly. Every monday. Ask me to get subscribed. IT'S FREE! BTW: I got this on an email from someone i do not want to reveal: 'I think you should write that it is public property and that you're only an editor making an useful zine from chaos of informations. Watch the title: DEMOjournal :)' This is public property and i am only an editor making an usefull newsletter out of LOTS of information. This is DEMOjournal not Psychic's journal. I am looking for people to send in to me weekly the MOD, demo and intro of the week texts so if you are interested on doing constructive review of a MOD, demo or intro, be my guest to send that small review to me. If there is no one willing to do it, i'll keep on sharing my stupid, worthless opinions with you all so better send it quickly for the sake of all readers. Other than that, happy reading boys and girls. (girls? where?) -------------- ------| 2.Demonews |----------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Psychic Symphony Portugal has a new demogroup: Active Fuel! Founded by Programmed who is a 15 year old motivated coder. I decided not to post more on this and let the man speak for himself! (check out the interview of the week) New polish demoscene orientated ftp supervised by Radi/INTerror: (Check out the full-size addy on the commercial break section!) ftp://amber.bti.pl Download Hugi#12 from the net: http://home.pages.de/~hugidownload/ ftp://ftp.beit-eli.gov.il/Incoming/ten/ ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/mags/hugi/ ftp://amber.bti.pl/SCENE/MAGS/Hugi/ ftp://abacus.vaciut.elender.hu/pub/zine/hugi/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ezah some news about da hungarian scene: - antiq98 party was held, and it had a really great feeling. unfortunately some vote faking happened. anyway the organizers did a really great job. - astroidea released mutha 2 at antiq, but we expected much more from them. most of the members write games nowadays, so maybe this is the reason why mutha 2 was done in a week of hurry. orome and ward (super graphicians :) joined. - fleur will be a bit delayed, cause ezah had two hd crashes in 3 weeks, and most of the translated articles got lost. we hope we can release it in october though. the music was done by sed/dilemma and carlos/mandula. - exceed released riprap (what has a really cool feeling) at antiq. get it fast. - the next hungarian party called cache will be held in 9-11 october. - wanna have more hungarian stuff? go to d-eyes.jpte.hu ftp site. - dilemma started to create deep somewhereover 2. we hope we can finish this demo in 98, but time will tell it. we won the 1st place in the 1kb intro compo at antiq98 with scant. get it from ftp.hornet.org/pub/demos/incoming/demos/dma_scok.zip -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dave News from Spain: þ I'm writing some info for begginers about image compression. This will be an introductory text giving the basic tools & ideas. The Doc will be uploaded to my page in the following days... http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Foothills/8279/index.html þ Probably, a new Party will held in Spain on this month (dunno exactly the date). þ Aktiv is designing some logos for our team (PhyMosys). (Also he's making some pictures for demos/intros). þ Just one last thing. We are looking for musicians, yeah. We need a track for the next release (a truecolor 64kb intro)... so, if you're a musician and wanna help us, contact with me, please: Email: dave@bglinks.com We REALLY need musicians in the group. That's all from Spain.

It's called 'getting information from reliable source!' and it works like a charm! New party though, dialogos98 invitation demo was released at evoke'98! --------------------------- ------| 5.Interview of the week |---------------------------------------------- --------------------------- Psychic Symphony interviews young and ambitious portuguese coder called Programmed! first up tells who are you... name, age, group, alien origins, shoe size, height, weight, that stuff! My name is Filipe I'm from Portugal and i am 15 years old, I'm the founder of ActiveFuel demogroup I think I'm from another dimension, but I don't know why I'm not very tall and... that's all ActiveFuel? how come no one has heard about it? what are you doing lately? One day, I had an idea "maybe I should create a new demogroup" and I did it Now, we are trying to do a demo for 1998 .PT Party We are 14 and we work well, I think... Almost all have different ages, so this is not a teenager group We are all guys, but it would be nice to have a girl in our group, but that's not possible, for now... :) all of the members are portuguese then? Yes thats good what do you feel about the rest of portuguese demoscene then? I know a few groups and I think they are good, but portuguese demosceners aren't known so well in the rest of the world and why is that? Why? I don't know, but we are going to try to show the world that portuguese demosceners and programmers are good and need to be known as the others dont you think you need a little more experience to do that? i mean your only 15... some people are around for up to 5 years! dont you think it will be just a little hard to prove what your worth in such small time? Yes, ofcourse, we all need to learn more But, if we work all together we learn more because we all help each other And we are not going to work very hard to learn fastest but, ofcourse we are going to take a long time to reach the other demogroups and you feel like you can do it? reach other demogroups level? I don't know, maybe yes, maybe no It depends on our work ok! time for think fast! first demo First demo? maybe this year, maybe next year we don't know i'm working on a 3D Engine to make a 3D Effect like the one in Second Reality The problem is not the code, it's the time... best demo? I saw many demos of this year and past years but I really like the antique Second Reality I think it's very well done aliens Aliens? I'm one of them... So, be careful, we are thinking to attack Earth, but there I have a lot of friends windows bah, remembers me Bill.... dos Old Operating System, but very good... linux Slackware rulez.... if pnp { crash -h now } :) want to say hi to anyone? yes I want to say Hi to my friendz of ActiveFuel and #Coders. And finally "Hi mom!" want to say anything else or can i close this interview down? You may close this interview. * Psychic_Symphony closes the enterview... :P END thx for your time thank you, cya.... fegf@bigfoot.com ---------------------- ------| 6.Demo of the week |--------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Psychic Symphony 'Iceberg' by Suburban Creations Code: Crossbone Music: Mindwalker 3D: Tomac and Crossbone Not sure! But i think this one got second at evoke'98! Yes i picked it because Minwalker is portuguese and promised to do a music for my group's next demo! I don't give a shit that the 3D scenes are marvelous and the effects very graphically polished! And that they got a totally unfair 5th place at mekka98 with a very similar yet bigger demo! I just care on mindwalker and the tune for 'evolve''s upcoming demo! I am selfish! Sue me! ----------------------- ------| 7.Intro of the week |-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Psychic Symphony 'Photon' by Purple Code: Vipa Gfx: Vipa and Thorsten Music: Thorsten Just for the sake of making a windows version of a good intro! Second place at The Gathering 98 i believe! or was it first? I am to lazy to check! Go get this intro, check out the brilliant design! If anyone asks you for a windows intro give them photon32 instead of the normal TBL's kick ass intros! --------------------- ------| 8.MOD of the week |---------------------------------------------------- --------------------- Psychic Symphony 'Candy Girl' by a-move and velvet of Amable Assign is still unreachable with all this evoke98 stuff going on so i must choose a tune once again! This time it's evoke98 multichannel music competition winner! Very good polished strings! A couple of nicely placed vocals. A general good enviroment feel. I like the songs for their feeling, call me nuts but i like them when they feel right and this one feels like that! It just feels good to listen too! and that's what it's all about at the end! Congratulations to a-move and velvet on another brilliant tune to add to their private 'feels good' repertoire! Keep up the good work! :) ----------------------- ------| 9.Commercial break! |-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- ._______________________________________ | ______ | ________|__ \ / | __________\ _ / o ______( )_ o | ____ _/ \\// /_ - _\ \ / - | \__ \\ \/_______/----------\______\ /-------------' (__\\ \ _ \__//\ \____________\ "¯"¾x. ,¾%%x: ,,__ /__\ h7 _ __ ___ ,¾¾l l¾¾· :¾¾l ___ __ _ \\(( \--------------------,x¾×'---- ¾¾¾ l¾¾: -----------------/ ))// \_ ,x¾×' .¾¾l ¾¾¾. _/ : ,%¾×' ¾¾ :¾¾: ¾¾¾ . ¾¾X...___i¾l l¾¾ :¾¾¾ m o n o 2 1 1 """'''''^^^: """ l¾¾l [.mono211.eklektikelektronikmusik.] [....http://www.scene.org/mono....] ²ÛÛÛ ²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÝßßßß ²ÛÛÛÝ° ²ÛÛÛÝ° ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛݲÛÛÛÝÛÛÛÛÝ ²ÛÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÝ ²ÝÛÛÛÝßÞÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛݲÛÛÛÝ²Ý ²ÛÛÛÝ ²ÛÛÛÛÝ http://milk.sgic.fi ßßß ÞÛÛÝ Ü ÛÛÛ ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛÝ ß ÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜ Ûßßßß ÛÛÛ ÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜ Ü ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÛÜÜ ° °²²ÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÝ ß ÜÜ ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²Û²²²°° ° ßÛÛÜ ßÛÛÜ ßßßÛÛÛßßß Üß ÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÜ ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ÜÛÛÛÝ ts ÞÛÛ ÞÛÛÝ ÜÛß ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛßß ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÜÛÛÛÛß ÜÜÜÛÛÝ ÜÛßßßÛÜ ÛÛÛÜßßÛÜ ßÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÝßß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛ ÞÛÝ ÞÛÝ ÞÛÛÝ ßÛÜ ßßÛÜÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÜ ßßßÛÛ ² ÛÛÛ ° ß²ÜÜÜÛß ° ÛÛÛ ß ÜÛÛß ÛÜÛß Ü² ² ÞÛÛÝ ß ÞÛÛ t o k y o ² ÛÛÜ ÜÛ ÛÛÛ ß ßßßßß² d a w n ùùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ° Ä ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛßß Ä ÞÛÛÝ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ßÜÜ ° Ä ° r e c o r d s ÄÄÄÄÄùù ÛÛ²°° ° ßß² ÞÛÛÝ Ü ÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÝ http://tdr.scene.org ÛÛÛ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ we love tpolm. $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ http://tpolm.scene.org http://geecs.org/~nico <--- for a complete mental experience < - - - - - - - -> ./ P@lS3C@M msx group da music : post_industrial da sounds : ambient_experimental da noise : avant_garde ...palsecam /.

B.Witched april 1997 Context: I bothered him with that the colors on his picture where not palette wise aligned! He didn't like it! I forgot the small detail of telling him the graphic was very good BEFORE i told him about the colors! Anyways... It took me 2 weeks to come up with using an extra array to store the colors numbers so i could swap the colors clockwise on the pic! And so the logo for my very first intro was finally done! And we all studied like hell for the 12th grade exams that followed! Maybe one day i will do a 'Splat! II The truth still lies above!' Maybe the anvil will actually fall with gravity pull speed and the sprites will be transparent and the blood will look more real and the rabbit won't just blink his eyes occasionally! Who knows... ------------- ------| 11.Charts |------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- It works like this: Tell me who you think just released a kick-ass production in any category!

So this is what happened: Me all happy checking email come upon szum's email addressed to me, nephoo and assign! 'subject: DEMAND OF APOLOGIES!' Er... I lost the original email! That wouldn't be a problem if i hadn't promised szum to post it! OOPS! Basically he wanted apologies for the following news posted on demojournal number 3: 'Dragon#4 wasnt released at Gravity III - reason: small problems inside group, Szum/Cryogen left group and has "stolen" whole english articles for Fleur magazine.' He is not an article thief! Something happened and nephoo heard about it and wrote the best english version he could and i corrected the english on that version the best i could and so we ended up with this mess! I will post the second email he sent to me (with my original justifications and apologies on the numbers!) -Start quote- hi Psychic Symphony i'm glad that you've answered my email, and i'm satisfied of yours apologies indeed personal apologies are accepted:) | 1. i am responsible for demojournal! me alone! ok.. how long are you releasing that demonews? | 2. i cant check all news! if i did i wouldnt need some people filling me | in on news! So Nephoo did a little mistake, anyway all is now OK.. i dunno who spreaded such false news, but similar were in Hugi#12 too, but there wasn't anything about stealing. I'm not an article stealer. Also the Dragon#4 has just been released and there is english corner WITH this articles. see: ftp://amber.bti.pl (/scene/mags/dragon) | 3. i see your point! this very mail will be posted on demojournal aside | with my apologies! [editor's note: NOT THIS ONE! the one i lost! :(] OK. i accept. thanx:) | 4. your welcome to help me out making demojournal more accurate! by that | just send articles like the one you did! or news, your votes anything at | all! Hmm.. articles are quite hard thing for me;). I'm not native speaker, and i'm doing much mistakes etc.. all what i write i'm sending to Fleur, i'm in there a co-editor or whatever;). But i'll try to help you with news, also you can send me voteform to fill in. | 5. i am sorry this happened! but hell... life sukz and then you die! | i just hope this doesn't mean life or death on poland! i am sorry! OK:) thanx:) so. greetz... Yours Sincerelly: Szum/Cryogen -end quote- Szum is no longer bothered with me or demojournal then! STILL, I promised him i was going to post his original mail and failed to do that! So i must apologize once again! I am sorry Szum! Didn't do it on purpose! Just happened! Other people who may read this e-mail might think that i am playing around with szum and the whole situation! I AM NOT! It happened, Szum felt insulted! I apologized the best way i could, there are no second intentions whatsoever! Just me asking an apologie for something that went wrong under my responsibility! I also talked with ezah/dilemma (fleur's editor) and he says he doesn't know anything about this! My guess is, it was just a rumour spread on gravity'98 when people heard dragon wasn't going to be released at the party place! Anyways... The articles weren't stolen, szum now writes for fleur and dragon#4 is already released with the english articles mentioned! One big mess that i hope it ends here! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Hugi#12 http://home.pages.de/~hugidownload/ ftp://ftp.beit-eli.gov.il/Incoming/ten/ ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/mags/hugi/ ftp://amber.bti.pl/SCENE/MAGS/Hugi/ ftp://abacus.vaciut.elender.hu/pub/zine/hugi/ This is not a diskmag review article! This is not a flame! This is not a feedback! It's just what is on my mind. People who don't like to read subjective points of view may skip this article! It's not worth denying Adok assembles Hugi and is the main responsible for it, so i guess this text goes out to him... Adok: Keep up Hugi diskmag project! HTML links where great idea and the dos / windows32 versions where ideal for that kind of diskmag! Small clitches still need fix like choosing the tune you want to play from within the mag! And main section article selection using only the keyboard! Other than these small details HUGI has really taken yet another major jump on the right direction! Articles where still on lower number then imphobia but that would be to ask to much! The interviews are a lot better and interesting than the ones on the previous issue. Add that to the fact that you have assembled this whole thing in just two and a half months and you have something to look back with pride! At first i was disapointed at myself, seeing such a great mag compared to my lousy demojournal made me feel bad! There are so many things i still need to accomplish to remotly get near to your level of general demoscene knowledge that it frightens me! you do have one problem: You write to much some times! A good example are the chart counting system explanation, everybody who has remotly though about counting some votes has stumbled upon that problem and understands perfectly your point without you needing to babble about it for more then 100 lines! I bet most people haven't read all that text! A critic to the chart results was a nice touch! 'Senior' sceners get to know what happened with some productions they though to be on the top and 'fresh' sceners learn a little more on demoscene background and history! Seeing demojournal #1 review all over again made me feel bad again! OK, so it was childish, but it was only issue number one! You didn't had to slaughter me with every line i released! The only part i enjoyed reading was the introduction and the last two paragraphs! I do believe demojournal has taken a leap for better past four issues! Party calendar was totally brain-crushing! I felt like a kid thinking the world is restrained to his neighbour-hood! Never realized there would be so many new parties announced. I was expecting a couple of them, not the double! Last but not least a small comment on a specific article you wrote: 'we don't need two-members begginer groups'! Hey man, i used to be a member of a two-member begginer group! There was nothing wrong with it! The only part that went wrong was when i started to get more aware on the scene and the other member didn't! I started getting some more people into the group, people i didn't knew well enough! It all belongs in the past! My old group is dead and i am happy with my new one! With other demoscener's who are aware of what's going on and like me want to contribute! BTW: We already have a name... Shock suggested 'Evolve'! Me and idiotboy accepted! :) Well... That's it i guess. Nothing more to say about HUGI! It's simply the best diskmag around! Keep up the good work. Psychic Symphony -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Poems What is wrong with you people? Didn't you spend whole years analising the form and content of poems at school? Every time i read a poem in a diskmag i don't like it! Don't get me wrong; some are good. Most are crap! You just want to let your feelings out... An example are love poems: I love her She does not love me Oh no! I feel bad I'm gonna kill myself This shit ain't a poem! This is four short sentences. Four short sentences do not make a poem! At least make some verses rhyme. Or have the same sylabus counting! Something like: Oh! I do love you... Why can't you love me too? My inner soul can't bear The though of you not near! See? It rhymes. And it has remotly close sylabus counting! It ain't that hard! Just think on what you want to say and use easy endings of verses for starters, the oo sound for example: you, too, blue, uhuhuh! Anything! Poetry isn't just writing what your feeling inside! It's doing it on a mysterious way, that's the beauty of it! Playing with the words, showing off your vocabulary. That's why girls are suckers for poetry! They like feelings and they like to hear them! The more time they spend thinking about what the hell your saying the better! I ain't no marriage councierge but if your writing some of this crappy stuff to impress a girl, you better start re-thinking your approach strategy! If, on the other hand, you're just writing for the sake of putting down what you're thinking then either write a diary or read a couple more REAL poems before you go on! Poetry isn't just a bunch of words! There's more to it! There's 4 main writing styles: -Classical style -Normal style -Rich style -Cyberpunk style Classical style is like on those RPG's like Ultima! Where we use very 'classicaly british' terms like 'thee', 'foe', 'indeed', 'thus' and similar! They sound very well if you impose a certain english accent! Normal style is something in between 'yo, wassup!' and the normal day to day chit-chat! Read it with a normal voice like if you we're talking with somebody you know for a long time! Of course that typical US words must be read with a 'yo brotha wassup' attitude! (Something like the beastie boys only not so fast! Rich style is when you apply certain weirdo terms like 'possessibly', 'enriching', 'magnitude', 'overimposed' and stuff like that! Cyberpunk is my favorite style! Imagine a decadent society when you realize everyone around is stupid and ignorant and yet you can't do shit about it! You start saying things like: 'My mind wanders across all those missguided people that stumble upon each other not knowing what the future holds yet i wonder how did the society came to such a point with such an haste.' This should be read with a melancolic voice. Extending certain word's sounds! Instead of readind 'those' like 'dose' you read 'douoseeeee'. Can you see the diference? Well, it exists! Didn't you ever saw 'The Max' or 'Neon Flux' on Mtv? OK! Enough on what your english teacher should have taugh you! Think twice or at least read it twice before sending a poem to a diskmag or newsletter! I realise the poem seems meaningless after you read it a couple of times, you already know what it means and don't really care on going over the subject and so you only concentrate on the words and not their meaning! There's a very simple way to get past this: Either you are bored to death in the middle of a class and couldn't care less on your mates or teacher! Or you can go get something to eat. Just going through a little strool will make you think about something else and so when you come back to the poem you will have to re-read it whole and this time you will take more attention to overall details and not just one specific line yet when you read it you will notice what would sound better than what is written, thus you find a nice line to replace that 'bad' line! Enough on poems! Back to boring reality! Psychic Symphony ---------- ------| 14.END |--------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Don't send anything in! Go away!
