The DARK Sourcefile
June 1994
- Introduction -
Another two months past, another chapter in the history of DARK written
and behind us. Only six months ago it seemed that a period of two
months between each pack went in a flash as we all scrambled to complete
enough work on time. However this time around the two months seemed to
last forever as everyone waited in anticipation for the date of the
release of the pack to approach. Well, its now here and wed like to
invite you to feast your eyes on DARKs best pack to date.
Most notable is the progress made by our members during the past two
months. Some of the members in the ANSi department are new since the
last pack, but theyve ALL made tremendous strides in a short time.
While there may not be an over-abundance of ANSis in this pack, theres
certainly enough to whet anybodys appetite. The VGA department has
made strides as well, making it one of the best in the scene today. Our
music department is as consistently excellent as ever, and the Coding
department has not only completed a terrific new viewer, theyve also
started to shore up the man-power theyve been needing for quite
a while. Finally, the lit. department has gotten some great new talent
and will excel in the months to come.
Rumours have been flying over the past while about mergers between the
smaller groups in the scene, DARK included. While receiving some
attractive offers from more than one group, nothing was firmed up and we
have managed to stay off the recent mergers page of the disk
magazines. Wed like to sincerely thank those groups who sought any
type of merger with DARK not only for showing appreciation for our
artists and their talent, but also for making us re-affirm one fact in
our own minds:
D A R K D O E S N O T C O M P R O M I S E
It wasnt until after the dust had settled and the initial excitement
had worn off that we began to realize what it is that makes DARK so
strong today. It is the loyalty of our members most of whom were
introduced to the scene by DARK and whose talents have matured in this
group and our uncompromising standards. We have never purported to
be better than either of the mega-groups, but we have always done
whatever possible to make this group -- what we have -- the best it can
possibly be. To do that we cannot compromise our values, and we will
not let those values take the back seat to our own ambitions. DARK is
here for the long haul, people. Thank-you for reminding us of that.
Weve also managed to shore up a number of talented new members in all
our departments and are excited to see more work from them. We welcome
them with open-arms into the DARK fold, knowing that they will be the
foundation on which this group will be based in the coming months.
Interestingly, DARK has not lost a member to another group since the
release of our first pack, and we have no intention of starting now.
Artists are not like livestock, and we intend to make DARK an enjoyable
place for ALL our members. Examples?
DARK does not force members to drop their other affils when
they join. After all, if they can complete work regularly,
who cares what other groups they are members of?
DARK does not believe in handing out assignments and
deadlines. After all, isnt that what our members have to put
up with in school all day?
DARK members are encouraged to work on what they ENJOY
working on, AT THEIR OWN PACE. Nobody will stick with a group
if they believe theyre a victim of slave labour. Some of our
new members can attest to that.
All these policies are based on common sense and mutual respect between
ourselves and our members. It is this attitude which has kept us alive,
and helped to instill such loyalty in the members of DARK.
Welcome to the next century, people. The scene is a-changin and DARK
intends to lead the way...
