- Halcyon Infofile v1.13
- ------------------------
-
-
-
- You may not know what is Halcyon and what it does. Don't worry
- (be happy), this info-file is created for all the stupid persons
- like you, which don't know what Halcyon is. Please notice before
- you stop reading this that THIS INFOFILE IS _NOT_ AS STUPID
- AS SOME OTHER INFOFILES THAT USES ABOUT 50 KILOS HARDDISK!!
-
-
- Oh well, I'd better start with history.. Halcyon was founded
- by Blitz and fate in 1993 (or 1992, who cares!?!?). In the
- beginning it was _VERY_ (I really mean _VERY_) lame group
- and the name was different (I wont mention the name here..).
- We released couple of products, mainly utilities, but then
- we made our first BIG mistake: we decided to make an intro
- (without any graphicians or musicians!). So, we had two
- members, both coders and we made an intro. You can imagine
- the quality of that intro.. Later in 1993 we made another
- intro, that was bullshit too. In the end of 1993 Copter
- (graphician) and Mr.BUG (musician) joined us. We changed our
- group's name. After couple of months we kicked Mr.BUG out,
- 'coz he didn't do anything. PLacidity joined us as designer
- and graphician. We released an X-MAS-intro (which was bullshit
- too) and Croaker (musician) & Bass-Cadet (musician) joined
- us. It was year 1994 and we changed our group's name to Halcyon.
- Vorpal (ANSI artist) & Cabby (coder) joined us and we kicked
- Copter out, 'coz we don't like superELITES and he couldn't
- draw anything acceptable (Actually Copter left our group
- himself, but we were planning to kick him out anyway, 'coz
- he couldn't draw very well). After couple of months we realized
- that Cabby can't code and we kicked him out. Sigh joined us
- as musician and we kicked Vorpal and Bass-Cadet out too, 'coz
- Bass-Cadet didn't do anything and we realized that we don't
- need ANSI-artist. Couple months before Assembly'94 we started
- making an intro for Assembly'94 introcompetition. That intro
- weren't shown on big screen (we knew it) and couple weeks after
- Assembly'94 we realized that our ASM-intro was coded very badly
- and it has too old effects in it. At first we though that we
- could release a 'bugfixed' version, which is totally rewritten
- =), but who the fuck cares, it's oooold intro and now we could
- do _MUCH_ better.. Well, a month has been after ASM'94 and fate
- did leave our group, but it doesn't mean anything to us. Well,
- since we had made some effects, we decided to put 'em together
- and so we made an little intro called DREAM. Many people asked
- us to do nosound version of DREAM, so we did it (FUCK!!)..
- (joo ja Emberikin joinas tossa jossain välissä ja se tekee
- grafuu ja 3d-objekteja..)
-
-
- As you can see our member-status is changing all the time.
- Currently we have five members:
-
- Croaker (Jaakko Iisalo) Musician [78] [486dx/50/8]
- Blitz (Kimmo Kangas) Coder [79] [486dx2/66/4]
- PLacidity (Petri Lievonen) Graphician [79] [1200/2c+4f]
- Sigh (Sakari Hyrkkö) Musician [79] [386dx/25/4]
- Ember (Jarkko Lipponen) GFX, 3Dobjs [77] [500/½c+½f]
-
- As you can see, we all are quite young, but I think we
- are pretty good. In the beginning, when we were lame group,
- we made mainly utilities (DOS & SBBS, which usually were
- bullshit), but now we are making mainly demos & intros.
- Ofcoz we make everything what comes to our mind.
-
- I won't tell you our group's older names, 'coz they were
- _LAME_ and they released _SHIT_! So, our current group,
- Halcyon, has offically born in the beginning of the year
- 1994 and it has nothing to do with older shits.
