]]> 17 Jan 2007 12:09:07 Game Idea a Day Many of the groups on here suffer from very little content and die away. The aim of this group is to provide a game idea - be it a plot, a mechanic, a new genre, a twist on an old genre - every day. I've got the first week covered, and I hope people will help me out.

Every idea will belong to it's creator, and if anyone wants to develop one of these ideas talk to the creator first.

NOTE: Discussion modules only show the last 5 threads by default, so click the "View all" link below the "Start New Topic" link to see the rest.

]]> 14 Feb 2007 02:50:11 Sinclair ZX Spectrum The greatest 8bit machine ever responsible for the entire history of computing from 1982 onwards and due to holes in the space time continuum created in Cambridge, UK by the time traveling Sir Clive Sinclair responsible for all the good things ever. 100% true that you know.

Alternatively you might prefer the slightly less biased wikipedia entry.

The ZX Spectrum is a home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd. Originally dubbed the ZX82, the machine was later renamed the ZX Spectrum by Sinclair to highlight the machine's colour display, compared to the black-and-white of its predecessor, the Sinclair ZX81.

The Spectrum was the first mainstream audience home computer in the UK, similar in significance to the Commodore 64 in the USA; the C64 was the main rival to the Spectrum in the UK market during the early 1980s.

It sure felt a lot more world changing than wikipedia describes to me ;)

]]> 04 Mar 2007 05:56:25 Demoscene !!!Demoscene is alive!!!

Welcome to the world of digital art in real time ;)

demoscene.info said,
The demoscene is a worldwide non-commercial network of creative minds involved in the making of so called 'demos'. Demos are computer generated music clips that show what kind of graphic and sound effects can really be done by using high-end computer hardware to its full potential.

Demo-making is teamwork. As demos are rather complex any helping hand is welcome. Each scener provides the team with different skills. Graphicians and musicians create suitable pieces of art, the programmers fit all the parts together in an extensive amount of detail work to finally make it an executable program: the demo.

The sceners don't necessarily have to physically meet each other at all during the whole process. Usually they meet in chatrooms and share their latest work over the internet. Most sceners live in Europe but you can find them almost everywhere in the world.

]]> 30 Jan 2007 11:49:49 DragonWolves The CDL was formed over five years ago from a very tight-knit group of gamers. We have grown over these years to be an organized and devoted group of good friends. We have always based our Clan on teamwork and a family core-value system. We are all friends! We like to consider ourselves honorable; we hold the ethic of honor high, for we feel that through honor and valor, we will always find victory.
Honor, Valor, Victory
The CDL has a very strong infrastructure based on years of experience in its Officer's Corps. But! EVERY CDL member has a voice in where the CDL goes. We don't run this Clan as a dictatorship - we feel the strength of the team is in its members. If one member is down, the team will suffer, so we make every effort to see that the weakest member is made stronger through camaraderie, intense training, and the vital sharing of information. We have an established Code of Conduct and also a CDL Guide Manual to clarify how we do business.

We don't always look for the best in abilities. Commitment is a large factor. Commitment to a way of gaming that reflects the style and vision of the Dragon Wolf warrior. We look at the heart of the warrior. We feel that if the warrior has the heart of the Dragon Wolf, it will show, and we will have found a brother/sister in the game!

Bottom line... The CDL is here to stay. We take our gaming seriously, but we understand it is a game. And to be quite honest, we have a blast doing it!
