Event id #3294 : X-2024
I was having a discussion with a few guys over beers in X'2023 and the compos. I was telling about my days as OR8 pilot in the RC world where we had junior, hobby and pro categories for the races.
To make it abit more motivational the people/groups who aren't 20 members strong each with 30+ years of demo coding experience it might be worth while considering other options ?
eg. some of the ideas we discussed:
. Having a pro (ie previous winner category) and hobby section so that contributors are compared to peers of similar experience
. Splitting the voting/ranking for 1 filers from multi disk entries
. Newcomer award for those individuals or teams who never submitted to X before |

Quoting BurglarSince we are throwing another one in less than a year, all of the suggested restrictions are irrelevant: there simply is not enough time for any group to deliver the same huge size and quality of demos. As was mentioned above, it's possible when skipping an X (or two). A few big players haven't participated this year... =) |

Quote: Quoting Wile CoyoteIt would put an end to either a coder, musician, graphician, designer etc appearing in (being credited for) more than one demo in any one ‘Demo’ compo. And why is that a problem. Seriously.
IRQ loaders are one problem. How many used Bitbreaker loader this time? Quite a few I believe..? |

So the obvious thing is to make participation mandatory. OR ELSE! |

From now on, each entry must be created by a single scener who wrote the entire thing including tools by using the action replay monitor, one entry per scener.
Workstages in the form of a twitch stream of the desk in the codermusiciangraphicians bedroom from the past seven years. |

> using the action replay monitor
pfft, the real scener(TM) uses his own built cart monitor, not using pre-existing ones, because they are lame by definition and don't work how he wants anyway. |

@Burgler i think you possibly failed to understand the point i was making. Sure 'Collaboration is key in the demo-scene' but where do you draw the line? ..a single entry into X spanning 20 disk sides, resulting in a guaranteed no.1 spot and everyone becomes a winner ;D
@Raistlin If you re_read my post, multiple demos using a pre_existing loader would be fine. If someone coded a new loader, multiple Demos would not be allowed to use the exact same loader until after the Compo is over. |

Quoting Wile CoyoteIf someone coded a new loader, multiple Demos would not be allowed to use the exact same loader until after the Compo is over. So... resident portion at different addresses okay? Or a slightly different set of options to produce non-identical binaries? :) |
