  Your comment is interesting. Perhaps it may really be a good idea to see to it that only articles with a positive, enthusiastic point of view are published (especially as the scene is actually far from being 'dead' indeed).

  ugly aliasing

  
  To anybody who is of the opinion that Hugi doesn't support antialiasing: It does, but it depends on the Windows configuration. When you go to Control Panel -> Display -> View -> Effects -> Methods of displaying fonts, select ClearType. Hugi will be displayed with anti-aliased fonts both in windowed and in full-screen mode.

  the font renderer screws up the antialiasing (Cleartype doesn't look TOO good in 640x480),

  
  IMHO, ClearType looks good even in 640x480. Maybe it's a matter of taste.
  
  I didn't even know about ClearType until today!

• Of course there will be a 30th issue! There are already some first articles. And there are some excellent ones among them!
  
  We also plan some great innovations...
  
  I'm looking forward to more of your articles!

  "i think that stating publicaly for like 4? years now that hugi doesnt really care about demoscene makes talented sceners abit unwilling to volunteer for "proper" graphics/music.."

  
  You may be right, but don't forget that we've had these problems right from the beginning.
  
  Some years ago, I wrote an article called "Philosophy of Hugi". It's still available at www.hugi.de and it has applied to my attitude to Hugi throughout all the years. In it, I write that Hugi is a "platform for young people where they can present their ideas". "The reason" why we focus on the demo scene "is that in demos, people use these new technologies to express creative ideas in an artistic form. Also, you can immediately create a program, draw a picture or enter some music notes and see the result. This allows a lot of experimenting and is not so lavish as (for example) experimenting with chemistry."
  
  So this attitude was clear right from the beginning.
  
  I want to tell you something essential about the demo scene; it's my opinion.
  
  The demo scene started with young people fascinated by computers, computer games, graphics effects and so-called music (at the beginning, the term "sound" may have been more appropriate for it). In order to produce such effects etc. themselves, they deeply dealt with technology and were euphoric that it was possible to create things nobody would have considered possible. This led to people dealing more and more with hardware and software - they wanted to explore it to the limits. That's why things like 4k intro compos were founded. In this way the demo scene was formed.
  
  But the demo scene ought not to be an end to itself. I don't want people to remain only demo sceners from age 6 to 99. The essential thing is that the skills people have gained in the demo scene will be valuable in many areas of "real life". Any occupation requires good skills at new technology. That's why a diskmag also ought to get people fascinated who aren't that deeply interested in new technology yet.
  
  That's the message Hugi is to deliver. If we only remained in the scene, we would be just a part of a cult and have no message.
  
  The needs of the scene are already well served by pouet, ojuice, scene.org etc. - there's no need for Hugi.
  
  That's why we want Hugi also to be popular outside the scene in order to get new people interested in the new technologies. At the same time, the productions of the demo scene would also get a larger audience. And we might even get "fresh blood".
  
  I don't know if I've managed to express my ideas clearly, but we can discuss them.

• I repeat what I've already written in another thread:
  
  Whenever you are in public, you'll be exposed to criticism. There are two types of criticism: constructive (rational) and non-constructive (irrational) one.
  
  Constructive criticism can be dealt with rationally. It may lead to discussion in which arguments meet counter-arguments.
  
  Irrational criticism consists mostly of four-letter-words. There are two options to face it: Either you get dragged into discussions with such people - then you need a "thick skin" because they won't react on rational arguments. Or you simply ignore these people. It's like banning people on IRC.

  "adok: wouldn't it help if you had talented sceners as your friends? perhaps that way you could persuade them to contribute with music or graphics. have you ever asked anyone directly? not just a "please contribute with graphics and music"-note in your mag. "

  
  Of course I've asked people directly - many times. And many times, this is what has led them to create and contribute graphics and music to Hugi.
  
  The graphics and music I get will stored in a pool and will be used sooner or later.
  
  I have often asked myself why so many graphicians and musicians apparently aren't interested in promoting themselves by seeing their work and name in Hugi. For me it would be easy to take photos and classical, i.e. non-copyrighted music (or no music at all!) instead. Then I would have no problem with critics who on the one hand say it "rocks" and on the other say it "sucks".
  
  Have you already asked yourself why you don't promote yourself? Are you afraid of being criticised just like everybody else?
