• demo Windows Superselection by Byterapers [web] & Doomsday & Future Crew
• The main difference between Rainmaker and this, RM was fully made from remote locations, with limited shared resources. Super started with the local bbq meeting (same day I went to my moms funeral, I came back to "party" with full black clothing, give me booze to forger this sadness). Mysdee came up with the The Compiler story before that but that was the night we split it to different parts what we can do and what we canno't. That was the evening when Purple Motion joined the team (nowdays a local friend). Last 10 days Mysdee was staying at my place and we had this kinda work-style rule, we must end at 24:00 latest, sleep well and then continue at 10:00. We had one free evening during whole 10 days. That was tough. Before that demo had nothing visually. But every night when I went to sleep, I had something to wait for: What Wode has done during the night (he was remote). \o/ ... so that's basicly making of Superselection.

  It fell short on the grandeur it set out to convey, yet I liked more parts than I disliked. Looking forward to the sequel!

  
  It was REALLY close I would pull the plug out at 22:00 friday (4 hours after deadline) but guys wanted to plow through, so me as a "project manager" went with the team. It could use couple of weeks for polish, but maybe (I want to do this) we fix some issues and release the "really good version" during 2025. We already have some ideas how we're gonna change the The Observer role. (or was it Operatos, we kept changing it many times).

  It's a somewhat unreal (pun intended) feeling to see a new Future Crew demo released.
  But of course no new demo can ever live up to that name. And I usually don't like story demos, so this is not for me.
  Still makes me happy that it exists.

  
  That was a design choice. Marvel was with us in Rainmaker at Revision but this time Purple Motion also joined as, so we discussed this and guys wanted to use FC name. We had long conversation with Gore (and we had to send him a lot of previews) if we can use the FC name, backup was use some kinds of acronym. Well afterwards I feel like we didn't deliver it as they deserve, but but but.. it was kinda too late to back up and M & PM wanted to go ahead with it. But it wasn't easy choice, or easy license/permit from FC leaders (Gore and PSI)

  m, didn't like it as much as I wanted. The rendering was kind of Kasparov era looking tech (but less interesting movement of camera) and music very average. There is some message about god or something which I didn't quite follow (not the demo's fault, but the visuals were so uninspiring that didn't grab attention).
  Still, the second best demo from this year.

  
  
  At his late hour (or date, or year) I must comment, now that I had the strenght to come back to see pouet comments, I totally agree with Navis my drunken fried. But this was our 1st try to make a storylien demo, 1st try to make camera scenes with ppl, 1st try of maaaaany things. Not 1st try with Notch though. But considering that Doomsday Astronaut was 1st Notch demo Wode made and Rainmaker was 2nd and this was the 3rd one, not a bad progress. But still now we have to take a little break, last year was VERY overexhausting. No timetable for second one, no timetable for The Compiler story - but we'll continue the story at some form, we have over 1 hours of it. Making this was mostly fun, but the last rush at 23:00 (5 hours after deadline) was not.

  I wish they’ve coded it themselves to prove all those silly statements presented inside.

  
  
  That is the problem and there's no straight solution for it. Mostly us ancient teams who are resurfacing (or never really been away) notice that only breed which are not inspired to come back, are the coders. Byterapers has a huge bunch of graphicians ja musicians, but those few coders who did something awesome stuff 10-20-30 years ago, are still missing in action, or just commeting "is that gonna stay that way" but not participating. Same goes with Doomsday, everyone is hiding except Wode. We have tried everything to encourage them to return to active duty but nope, it seems coders are just not inspired, they live a good life with their huge coders salary, buy houses, fast cars, yachts etc .. we common folk are forced to use 3rd party engines when possible just because of that, not because we wan't to use them, but we have to because we want to participate compos at parties, and not just lurk behind the corner or in the dark forest drinking piss warm beer.
  
  If you have solution this how to kick life to this coder breed folk, please share the wisdom. Otherwise we keep using the tools we have (and be a bit better step by step)
  
  Recruiting coders seems to be quite impossible task aswell, same goes with 3D guys. Musicians, graphicians, "designers" - no lack of of those though.
