|  Methabolix's Secret Weapons | | Posted by Luca on 2010-07-29 |
 Summer's cleanout for everyone!
After the Scorpions and Gentlemen's lost gems, it's Methabolix turn. Unreal has decided to spit out several uncompleted stuff which has been left asleep into his disks. The bigger one this time is Metapharstic 96, the unfinished trackmo which seems to be nothing less than a sort of early version of the most famous Metapharstic 80%. Moreover, he also has found 2 different alternative intros for that trackmo: Metapharstic Alternative Intro V2 and Metapharstic Alternative Intro V4!
And from the game side, here come two game previews which have never been finished.
Ice-Age looks like a first engine for a classic arcade adventure game. A legend says that Logical Game has been coded by Beast in one single night, and it appears to be 80% ready! 5 levels ready, it stucks at game over screen and misses several refinements, but the rest is ok and ready to go.
Last but not least, Methapage 01 would have been the first issue of the one and only Methabolix's disk magazine, after the Terror News handover, but at that time it looked like a no future enterprise.
Stay tuned, 'coz this seems to be a first strike only, with more to come! |

| | Achievement Unlocked: SCN News 100% | | Posted by Csabo on 2010-07-26 |
 The Arok party is over, so we're back to the usual routine of scene hibernation working hard. Anyway, today Ati is here with two gifts. After wrestling with his tape device, he eventually managed what no-one could before: a working backup of SCN News 26 and Lunacy 3. This makes the former mag complete (after all this time)! It seems we're still missing the 8th part of the latter, though it's also possible that number 8 was simply skipped. Nevertheless, enjoy these two, and then go back to working hard on those new Plus/4 games/demos/utilities! |

 Csio confirmed his promise!
After few hours only from the party release, which was marked as "80%", he did the final version of Sabrina Digi 2010, much clean and with a feature which allows you to stop plasma and listen to better digi sound!
Don't miss it! |

| | Árok Party #12: Our Results | | Posted by Luca on 2010-07-18 |
 Árok Party 2010 is over, and all the dices have just been thrown: the Plus/4 has been involved in two entries, both in the 8bit Demo Competition. Unreal competed in the Graphics Compo too, but with a C64 picture.
Oldschool 2 by Skoro/ASN won the 8bit Demo Compo: several FLD/FPD/FPP effects, FLI plasmas, an original view on line morphing, big fast Kefrens, great graphics and SID music persuaded the jury. We're so proud because of this, our big congrats to Skoro and his co-workers, that's a stunning piece of code!
The 2nd ranked in the 8bit Demo Compo is another cute Plus/4 entry. Sabrina Digi 2010 80%, is a little cooperation digi demo, visuals by Csio/MHY and digi tune by Luca/FIRE. Tagged as "80%", Csio has promised to achieve a full version improving sound and cleaning up the whole stuff, in the very next days.
You can read the complete results on the official Árok site, where you'll find several links to party pictures album (don't miss'em!). Waiting for loooong reports from attendands to read about who/what/where directly from the party core!
Congratulations again to all the developers, organizers, attendands which have shown once again their passion, stealing time to work family childrens and real life in general, and in particular to the Commodore Plus/4 scene guys which have demonstrated once again how cool they are. Looking forward to... Árok Party 2011, the 13th edition! |
