- almost uknown abroad ST coder from Poland
- responsible for the intro released under "CONFUSIONS" label
-
- has been tormented by Grey / Mystic Bytes
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- - --- ----
-
-
- Grey: 'llo Meverik.
-
- Meverick: Hi
-
- Grey: Feeling a bit CONFUSed? :) What da hell is that? I've been searching
- for any CNF member to do an interview, but... it's just impossible
- to find anyone! But a miracle happened and I found your e-mail
- address somewhere on the inet... suddenly, totally unexpectedly!
- So let's do it man! It's time for your confessional conversation for
- the Chosneck columns! What your parents call you, how old are you?
- Is there anything you do besides the so called "scene"? :) There's
- some questions for you, lets hear some answers!
-
- Meverick: My name is Kamil Andruszewicz - I'm 23 now and I still don't do
- anything except computing - no spare time - well almost :)
-
- Grey: Could you dig deep into your memorybank and try to recall when you
- did it for the 1st time...? Yummie, adult stuff in da house... :) Of
- course I mean about "touching" atari keys... :) How and when did it
- land on your desk?
-
- Meverick: My first own Atari (1040STFM) was a christmas gift. But this was not
- my first contact with Atari. My friend had a superb 130XE with tape
- drive three years before so I grew up with little XL/XE before I got
- the ST. My parents saw that I liked Atari so it was a fairly well
- considered gift!
-
- Grey: Do you remember what thoughts came into your mind when you saw your
- 1st demo ever? :) What kind of impressions?
-
- Meverick: I wonder if anyone was ever as suprised as me when visited a local
- copy-party - so full of colours, music - a real shock for a young
- mind. For the ST it was something like "Syntax Terror". The first
- impression? I think it would be - 'what the hell is this for ?' :)
-
- Grey: When did you join 'CONFUSIONS' group and why? What was your
- function?
-
- Meverick: I think it was somewhere in 95/96. It was a long time ago... But I'm
- sure I was a coder.
-
- Grey: Could you try to throw us the names of scene-prods released under
- 'CNF' label with short description of them all? (date of release,
- machine needed etc.)
-
- Meverick: The first one was surely an intro released on Orneta in 96 - my
- 1st and last official intro for ST/STE with some grafix by Raster
- with no real name - just some greetings to friends from that party.
- Does anybody remember that nice raster-fire ? ;) There was a diskmag
- by Maskotka but I really can't remember the name - and I can't tell
- if it was released (grey's note: the mag was called "Filler" and
- some issues have been kicked out). AMBLERY - slideshow released in
- '96/'97 - two versions, one for ST and one for STE. That was around
- the time I left CNF, and subsequently in '97, AMOK was done.
-
- Grey: "AMOK" was the first and unfortunately the only SERIOUS project
- finished under ' CNF' wings (as in a full multi-part demo). It was
- surely a cool demo, however there was no design (effects shown
- chaotically without much continuity), no msx sync and some pretty
- ugly graphics... (esp. the one pic with skull - Bloody hell! It was
- more shitty than shitty shit!). Were you satisfied with the final
- result?
-
- Meverick: Me? No ;) - Well to be honest I didn't do anything for that demo.
- It was first shown on Orneta in '97 when Spirit and I were not part
- of CNF anymore. From the coding side it isn't so bad. It was done
- by our new coder who I haven't even met in person (grey's note:
- it was Sqward of coz, hehe). Not all the grafix are as ugly as the
- skull though!
-
- Grey: And tell us honestly - Did you know that the last effect (green
- torus) was a clever cheat? :)))
-
- Meverick: Know - no. Suspected - yes, like always when I see something like
- this for the first time :)
-
- Grey: Ok, let's back to the group's affairs... I know that 'CNF' doesn't
- exists anymore but do you know what the other guys are up to
- nowadays?
-
- Meverick: No :( I've heard that Raster was active for a long time on the
- Atari. CNF was a group of Atari ST freaks that felt the need to do
- something and we did - maybe not in the most excellent way ;)
-
- Grey: Have you seen any ST demos released within the last few years? New
- standards have been set in coding!
-
- Meverick: Yes - It's quite amazing. Nowadays demos are more technical but
- from the other side the design is on a far higher level - finally it
- exists ;). I really admire the work of Oxygene for example. For a
- long time there was nothing new but now old guys return to say hello
- once again.
-
- Grey: Did you sell Your ST or is it hidden somewhere awaiting better
- times?
-
- Meverick: Maybe it's a common scenario but it's under my bed. I really can't
- say why I can't move it from there.
-
- Grey: Is it possible that you could dig it out and start to code on it
- once again?
-
- Meverick: Hmm, it would be quite interesting just to find out if I still
- remember anything.
-
- Grey: Ok... relax man! Believe it or not - I am not going to torment You
- anymore :) Thanx a lot for all your answers, Mev! Feel free to use
- the lines below to greet anyone, ask for help... gee, just make them
- useful! ;)
-
- Meverick: Well ok, greets to: Andrzej, Dely, Exon, Fox, Grey, Grubshy, Gumis,
- Havoc, Jezus, Jurgi, Kucyk, Lewis, Maskotka,
- Mikey, McMaster, McGayver, Raster, Spirit,
- Wilson, Van Ejik, Vasco, Vulgar, Zuk and You
- reading this!
