Again the time for the biggest summer demo party is closing fast!
If great competitions, drinking a LOT of Coke, spending sleepless nights,
making great deals with some computer companies, meeting all your friends
on the scene and having a great time is what you're after, you just can't
miss Asm'94!
This time the party will be held in the very center of Helsinki, the
capital of Finland, from the 5th to the 7th of August. There will be
competitions for Amiga and PC, and thanks to our many sponsors, the prizes
will be amazing!
This textfile is just a kind of a preliminary information package for
the people on the scene. We will release another invitation intro later in
which the final information about all the rules, etc. will be included.
Anyway, just keep on reading to see what we have to offer!
- - - - - - - COMPETITIONS - - - - - - -
As this text file is just the preliminary info, there might be some
changes to the final competition rules. The organizers reserve the right
to make any changes to the competition rules, and to disqualify any
entry if it is not suitable to attend the competitions for some reason.
All competitors have to be present at the party place in order to
attend the competitions and to receive the possible prizes (or at least
one of the authors of a competing piece of art).
In the graphics competition on both Amiga and PC, and also in the
4kb intro competition on PC, the competition version of the entry must
not display the author's name in any way. This is to prevent the author's
name from affecting the vote. After the announcement of the results, the
versions which are spread can include the author's signature. In the music
competition on both Amiga and PC, we will not show the author's name while
we play the song in the competition.
"Maximum running length" below is only the amount of time we will
show a particular piece of art on the big screen.
The demos/intros will have to run without ANY user interaction
once started.
THE VOTING SYSTEM:
We will use a disk voting system. Once you enter the party place, you
will be given the voting disk, which will include the voting program.
It's not certain yet if the disks will be dual-format (both Amiga&PC
compatible) or if we are going to have separate Amiga and PC
compatible voting disks.
You will be able to give your opinion on The Five Best in all compe-
titions, both on the Amiga and PC.
But before you can give your opinion, a jury composed of known
scene people (maybe even you!) will select a certain (yet unknown)
amount of entries in each competition to the finals (to be shown
on the big screen).
We will give more details about the voting system in the next invi-
tation intro.
PC COMPETITION RULES:
The competition machine we will use:
- i486DX2/66 with 4 MB of RAM
- MS-DOS 6.20
- Tseng Labs ET-4000/w32 Local Bus VGA card
- 1 MB Gravis UltraSound sound card or
original Sound Blaster Pro 2.0
If your demo supports some other sound card, bring it with you.
If your demo/intro requires a memory manager, it would be suitable
if it worked under either MS-DOS 6.20's HIMEM alone, HIMEM+EMM386
or under QEMM v7.03. Otherwise bring all necessary memory managers
and a boot disk with you (the demo/intro will still be loaded from
hard disk).
All intros (64kb & 4kb), pictures and songs will be spread at the
party place after the announcement of the results. In the demo
competition we will give exactly ONE MONTH of time for the demo
groups to finish and release their demos, otherwise we will release
the competition version of the demo.
