First of all Martin introduce yourself and tell a little.. No! A lot about yourselfes... |
| Vention: |
Well. Yes alot may know me as the most (Strange would be apropiate) insane force behind Kefrens. BUT I'm not.. I'm 0+18 years of age and of male species. But besides my rep. I'm quite normal.. |
| MagBox: |
... Oooh, a new question Hmm, well yeah... Eeeeh, how about a little something about your scene story then? All the sweet details plese! |
| Vention: |
Well at the moment I'm Slams sexslave.. But I'm hoping to become a coder in Melon Ting. No.. I started coding for about 3-4-5-6 years ago in a group called... TATAATA Cycron.. Super Gruppe uden lige.. Later on I joined PROLOGIC (Hej DINO..) But it didn't work, SO my carreer went on in AWESOME.. But they were a bit STRANGE? So 2 months later I joined KEFRENS, Compiled about 15 intros and left them for Melon... |
| MagBox: |
... Eeeeh, what?! Melon?!?! I seem to be misinformed here...! |
| Vention: |
UPS.. Did I say Melon?? I meant LemOFF. A new subdivision of Kefrens. |
| MagBox: |
Maybe I should do a bit more research next time I interview someone... So, how do you like being... in ... eeer ...Lemon... LemOFF< (point!)? |
| Vention: |
I like IT!!!!! Lots of lems and ting.. We started LEM-OFF -> PUNKTUM * 2 <- to lemon some tings in Holland.. Just kidding FACET.. |
| MagBox: |
Hmmm, time to change subject by now... Could you give the readers your real name... You know, they love to speak of you as if they know you... |
| Vention: |
OKI. My REAL REAL REAL name is... NY linie MARTIN JOHN ANDREASEN GRAM Junior.. No shit.. My friends call me Ventigoksi.. SO I'd Prefer if you called me 3Vention1 or perhaps Martin.. |
| MagBox: |
Okay, Martin... We're sitting here at The Gathering '93... How do you think your demo will do in the competition (We'll get back to just HOW they did later.-ed.) |
| Vention: |
Well Our Chances aren't big, because Spaceting kommer med en Supersej ting ting.. No we'll see when the comp. is over. But The DEMO is cool.. SO watch out.. |
| MagBox: |
Well, I can tell you that I look forward to see it. Anyway, is Kefrens/Lemon./Melon/Ting/Flyvemaskine competing with anything else? |
| Vention: |
Yes we have about 5 Intros for the Introcomp. But we don't know which one to use.. HARD choise, 4 intros by AWK and 1 by Me.. I think Slammerting is working on a AGA-ting, SO.. SuperTING Intro.. |
| MagBox: |
Aha.. Speaking of productions, what does Kefrens have in story for the future? |
| Vention: |
We have plans for one more demo, and then a couple of musicdisks.. I know Dice will release a musicting this summer. R.W.O will start working on a new slideting, and he will also draw the GFX for my demo, which is called D.A.N.E preview will be out soon. Else this summer is going to be beach-summer.. Except for a maybe coming musicdisk from S.L.L., which will be a Demo with ONE mb of music.. 2 diskdrives or 2 mb of chip needed... Sorry guys.. |
| MagBox: |
Hey, how about MultiMegamix, which I bet a lot of people is looking out for, won't you release number 4? |
| Vention: |
NO!! The multimegating trilogy is over, Becoz Slliill is to busy working.. Sorry. |
| MagBox: |
What's your ambitions concerning your life on the scene and Kefrens? |
| Vention: |
Well that's a tough one.. I'd like to.. Well I dunno.. Maybe my time in Kefrens is over and some other guy may take over my ting. So? But I'd like to finish my education, get a job, get ordinary, get kids (Hej Maliina).. And so on. |
| MagBox: |
How serious would you consider your now being situation on the scene then? |
| Vention: |
Ups. Almost over.. After my demo I'll stop almost all activities on AMIGA, simply because I don't think it's funny anymore.. And when the fun's gone, jah saa ting.. |
| MagBox: |
So in a few months Vention of Kefrens is history (A legend some might say.-ed.)? |
| Vention: |
No ofcourse NOT.. I'll continue coding on Amiga, BUT not demos.. They are too boring, during porduction, so I'll compile the soon? coming musicdisks and a diskting fra 2000 AD.. |
| MagBox: |
Are you thinking about game making as well? |
| Vention: |
Ofcourse.. If you would like me to code a game for your software company, you should contact me.. My address will be in the end of this interview.. (It will?! Hehe!-ed.) |
| MagBox: |
Then how do you feel about cracking and piracy? |
| Vention: |
I haven't got anything against it. I don't care about games. I think it's lame to play games just waste time.. You could program, draw or compose instead.. |
| MagBox: |
Yeah well, what if it's your own game being cracked? |
| Vention: |
I would ofcourse be pissed. But who can stop the crackers.. It's here to stay. But I think that every coder dislikes the fact that other people are distroing their work... |
| MagBox: |
Is computers a part of your everyday life, I mean do you do other things than demos for the scene? |
| Vention: |
Jada.. I'm ofcourse going to school.. I have a girlfriend, so most of time is spend on her.. Therefor there's not much time left to computers... |
| MagBox: |
When did you get interested in computers in general? |
| Vention: |
It all started when a guy a knew bought himself a C64. I liked playing games then.. But it was first when he upgraded to a A500, I got interested.. |
| MagBox: |
Is there any computer you'd really like to have at this time? |
| Vention: |
Wouldn't everybody like to have an A4000? (Read later to be happy.-ed.) I know I would... BUT it is tooo expensive.. To become a reality.. But a 80586 wouldn't be bad.. |
| MagBox: |
Speaking of money (you were..), what would you do if someone gave a million dollars? |
| Vention: |
I would quit school. GET VERY DRUNK. And put the money in the bank, which had the highest interest rate. |
| MagBox: |
How modest... Well, then, about 2 weeks have passed now and the party, which were the place where we started the interview, is over. Kefrens WON, what do you think of that? |
| Vention: |
Well, that's great. I bought an A4000 myself and I have told Estrup... |
| MagBox: |
Do you think Sim's demo deserved to win the compo? |
| Vention: |
Nope, an animtion which can only run on harddisk does not deserv to win. Besides, I haven't seen it totylly, so it's quite hard for me to judge. |
| MagBox: |
Do you think that Desert Dream is the best demo ever? |
| Vention: |
Well no, I think that Hardwired is still better on design, but I guess that ours wins when it comes to routines. |
| MagBox: |
Okay that just about finishes my intense questioning, do you have anyone that you'd like to mention here? |
| Vention: |
No, not really.. I'd like to say hello to everybody. But that's not possible.. But hellos to TOAST and the rest of our gang.. EMILON og LEMON. and ofcourse STB 1+ Balance og then the rest of you all... |
| MagBox: |
And as always... Any final comments? |
| Vention: |
Ting lever.. Ting lever.. Ting levede??
