[thinlega]

You probably allready know this but......

check out

http://www.delamelon.com

oohh and the nice .mpg

[RCK]

nice :cool

[Akira]

I only knew melondezign.com

I LOVE Melon's demos. No big programming showoff, but mucho style, something a lot of demogroups of the time didn't have.

I am not surprised teh meloners now work on multimedia design (like most of the great demogroup people!)


BTW I only get to a broken picture and nowhere to click :(

[Akira]

Hmm.. broken picss everywhere, something is not fine here...

edit: gotta love the cracktro collection! They should have packed them all in less ADFs, dloading a whole ADF to get the Tetris cracktro is just inane :P

That apart, is a great archive :)

[Akira]

I stand up for what I said! :P come on you styleless groups!

[thinlega]

Yeah I kind of like the way they made DESIGN productions............instead of just trying to out program other groups. Something that the amiga scene was calling out for......:)

Great site, thanks. Anyone know of a site that hosts their PC demos too? Ninja 2 is my all time favorite, but I'm sure there is more.

I think they stood for 'minimalism', which is a style the Japanese have clearly been doing for some years, and is the way I like my art :)

See the 10k10 StyleXP skin for details :)

Sorry, I'd just got so used to it... :)

[Akira]

But K10K isn't minimal. At least not the website.

They are just micropixel style.

WOW! I didn't know about this, hehe, the good old days :)

[Galahad/FLT]

I take it TDK as in Mark Knight? If so, nice to have you around. Last thing I heard you were working for Mindscape, what are you up to now?

[TDK]

Hi Galahad,

Yup, the one and the same :)

Was made redundant from MS in 1996, so went freelance for a few months to do Duke Nukem PS1,

Ended up at Bullfrog a few months after that, which 'evolved' into Electronic Arts. Been here ever since.

Not writing music here anymore though, the last game was Dungeon Keeper 2.

Shame, but I'm writing stuff at home, for an electric violin album... which may eventually get finished.

Am thinking of maybe doing a couple of chippees for fun though :)

[Ash]

Thats a cool site
*starts downloading stuff now*

[Galahad/FLT]

Funny you should mention that, but if you do have some unpublished mods/chip tunes, a few games that were never commercially released will be getting a release after all, and it would be nice to have one of your chip tunes.. Also a few proposed other projects might come to fruition, would be nice to have a few well known names attached.

I know that Matt Simmons (4-Mat) was hoping to be asked, and frankly, I would give him one of my spare A12oo's if he was serious!

[TDK]

you wanna mail me offline?

@TDK

Just wondering what it was like for you making tunes for melon cracktros...are you still in touch with them?? and how did you go about making the music for them....did you get to see the cracktro first and make the music that you think fitted the style??

[TDK]

I'm not in touch with the melon guys now. Was for quite a while after I left the scene, with Seen, but not anymore.

As for the music. I just churned the tracks out left right and centre, and they used what they wanted to. I never got to see the intro before, and sometimes, not even afterwards. The only one where I had a brief of any kind, was the Tetris intro... obviously :)
