As happy as Al Bundy with a new issue of "big 'uns".After a day at the office I come home to, totally unexpected find new prods by MFX,FLT,ASD,Conspiracy and FR
30 seconds or not this ist just way cool!
or billy madison on nudie magazine day :)
A girl I knew (friend only) told me she once had brief relationship with some poor guy who couldn't last longer than about thirty seconds. She didn't have much positive to say about that experience.
It seems ironic as well as strange; that within a scene so traditionally respectful of small limitations, that one's patience could be so benign to with regards to time.
it's exponentially harder to say something profound within 30 seconds than it is within 4 or 5 minutes; just as it is harder to write something for four tracks than it is 32. Or how about lets denote all great works of art to be size?
Give me 10second demos. Give me 18min intros. give me wow factor.

Nothing else to say about it.
Come on! 30 seconds it's for showing the name! As in ADITS.
For those who haven't noticed, tv commercials are also 30 seconds. And some of them are extremely memorable.
30 seconds should be enough to say a 'story' with a meaning.

After size limits there is a new idea: time limits. This could be interesting since it forces to make the demo densely spiced with interesting effects and atmosphere.
We could also say that 128b and 256b are stupid too. Both 30' demos and 128b/256b have limitation: in first "what effect and how to present it in the best way" and in second "how to optimize it correcty" efforts. I preffer Hardwired/TSL than Oddysey/ATZ demo from the Party 1991.
Adok: then you go to a party to watch 2 minutes of demos? :|
30 seconds? pff. 5 seconds to rule them all. with looping!
The scene has to except this 'new found' form of competition!
Maybe Breakpoint 2007 can set an example
and do this 30 seconds demo compo with the same size limit of the 'real' demo compo for starters??

ehm.. accept ofcoz not except ;)
It hardly seems worth downloading, unpacking and running if all you get is 30 seconds.
Personally, when I watch demos, I like to grab a coffee, sit back in my chair and enjoy the show.

So this is what espresso is for.
30 seconds to add something to a pouet discussion thread ... thats to much waste of usefull time and damn it : I did it :D
Yeah, lets have a 5s "flash" demo compo.
ffs, you guys act like if all demos would be 30 secs long from now on

´30 seconds demo/intro whatever´ ?
Nothing more than a quick eyecandy - maybe - .
Some advertising spots have the same length. coincidentally.
And when it comes to advertising - sorry demoscene, you guys / girls are too creative for only making advertising. At least thats my experience after several years.
Its 30 secs. compo demos why should it happen again? ;p

MadenMann: if you doubt something please explain ur self so people know where you base you oppinion on :D
simulaatio (either I or II or both) also had a 45 second wild compo. That worked pretty well.. If the prod was shit atleast you didn't have to look at it for long;-)
I just don't get it. Every such a post appears I just look to check whether it's magic or only stefan posting as magic and every time it's the real magic. WTF?!

We could also have a 0-second demo compo (= gfx compo)
or a 0-day demo compo (= fast demo compo)
;-)
