it's a fact. our scene-life is inevitably fading.
times are over, when we independently decided about
the ways of our lives. we're no longer able to spend
nights in our small chaotic rooms, coding demos and
forgetting the world around us. the sun was something
we only darkly remembered, because we hadn't seen it
for a long time. the seasons didn't matter to us, because
we went around with a tunnel vision, pondering about
code-optimisation and new effects. we didn't care about a
full fridge, clean clothes, a shower, or female attractions...
we have to realise, that we're now socialised, bound to
interhuman relationships. we're now husbands, fathers, uncles,
employees, employers, or whatever. involved into different kinds
of responsibility, or busy in the struggle for life.
if we haven't given up to some shady kind of attraction, we
find some relaxation and inspiration in letting creativity flow
and our scene community participate in it. but pixel artists and
chipmusicians are suffering from the lack of projects, which
are their platforms to perform on. one reason for many products
dying on floppy- or harddisks...
this is an attempt to free ourselves from the dependency of big
demo-projects and to install a platform to present our works.
everybody is invited to participate in this project. chipmusicians,
as well as gfxers or coders.
today we can say that this project is a real success. we were able
to offer a platform for different composers, some of them totally
new to the atari-scene. we got a lot of positive feedback and even
lowtech-fans from outside the atari-scene recognise our works.
ym rockerz united!
