I just want to throw in the towel here!



APSO is for us a massive and impressive demo, we used so much time on it to create it to be different from all the other trackmos out there. Why you say? I guess we just did this for us, and then we thought this would be cool for others too, so we thought again and decided to let us finish the demo in a big way! Let us finish parts and include new ones, let us give us and the scene a present before x-mas and give the scene much to look, listen and think about...



In normal life it is like this... you like this band and they release an album and then you buy it and listen to it or you do not buy it and do not listen to it...



Regarding coder porn I think APSO do have its moments, the circlescroller is uniqe and it holds a massive amount of controlled balls combined with a 2048pix bitmap, handpainted that is.. the tron chess cave is also what coders do like on the c64 and the batman part holds the most graphics possible in a c64... Then there is the rest with all its attitudes and content and graphics and code and music... some amount of polished parts using what is available and some of the parts are to us very special.



We hope you love our demos, and also APSO, because of what we do create, we just do not want to create what is the mainstream, if we wanted to do that we do that everyday in our work, this is not work, this is fun, it is a different thing and we do not follow the self employed bell ringers...



We created this demo for us and our friends that do like the c64, we did not create this to offend or make people feel bad in anyway! We just love what the scene used to be, beeing free of all that relate to work or fixed frames that we do not want to be stranded within...



You might say that we should do this and that, but we did this, and we are mighty proud of what we did...



APSO also got discovered by subculture music scene here in norway and they want me, PAL to record some of the parts and also from AB to be used as decor at live performances here in oslo, and I think that is pretty cool too..



Hope you all do create different and special demos in the future... and I do pray that you do not just create the twister at a frame higher in rate, we did a medusa scroller with that idea instead, do not all the stuff that others do create, just a tad better, do something new too! My favorite part in APSO is the great offender and the heroes part actually, and I guess that is a surprise to you all...



I think OLE nailed it perfectly for us too... We just do this for fun! If you do this for being accepted it is just sad I think...



Magnar... war games... ha ha... we love the idea! And yes you got it right there in your post, we did this because it is us, it is us, the generation of us, we are the same dude... we love that... I can not hope for younger dudes to love that but really it is just as you said, we do this for us, the real c64 generation! Remembering the times whan we created amiga and c64 games... and demos... I love it!



wackee... we are the elder you know!



Carrion... what ever... just do create you better demos and parts, we in offence do love them, you are very talented and you do create lots of cool things...



And to all you that have pm`ed us here on csdb or sent messages on e-mail and on facebook, we love the feedback from you, some of the real elite and some of the greatest inspiration sources for us to do demos on the c64... Some of you are our heroes and we love you for being just that, nothing else!... but you should vote and say it out loud! We love that and we do get very inspired from it... and it will only lead to better things from us in the future... And that is a promise!!!



PS: when coders do see this demo they know there were so much work on APSO... hope the rest of the scene do see that too, it features so much music, code and graphics that I have never seen a single demo holding the same amount of content, ever...
