Comment to Darkhawk's review of Saxonia issue 1
By Rumrunner/VOID
[l
Seeing the review of Saxonia 1 by Darkhawk in DISC 14, there are some
things that needs to be straightened out.
First, there are no need to cycle through all articles using the
arrowkeys, use can type the articlenumber you want on the numeric keypad
and load with the enter key. The helpscreen brough up by pressing the
deletekey clearly states so.
Next, Saxonia isn't my first released work. My first released work was
an intro called Saxonia Advert, I released this to tell people that the
mag was soon coming. I also released an intro to say Marry Christmas just
before christmas 2002. These are perhaps not good spread, as I didn't
release them on any party and such productions seems to get little
attention nowadays, a strange phenomena when you think about it,
considering the fact that there are few releases to come all over now.
Except from this, I agree with most written in the review, taken into
account Zerox's correction regarding credits. Since I left out the credits
of issue one, you can find them in this issue.
I'm also very happy to hear that Darkhawk regarded me as enthusiastic in
my work. I agree with him fully that there are too few enthusiastic
people left in the scene. This might come with age, we all know that the
average scener is older now than in the beginning of the nineties. Some
of this relates to the fact that the older ones among us remember the
Amiga from the time when it was [2 the[0 machine to have, this goes
without saying. I also think that we can blame all of the new stuff
coming on pc. All the games and even complete movies spread before the
official release of that particular film doesn't encourage young people
to use their imagination. Just take a look at an average adventure game
like Zak McCracken and compare it to some never one. The younger member
of the genre is most likely to be of the "find the hidden playbutton and
press it" type. So far, we might notice this more on Amiga than those
involved on the pc platform, but believe me, groups will have problems
getting younger members in just a few years.
Just like I use to, I have sprung off the main-topic here, but that
doesn't matter, I think it had to be said, and I would also like to thank
Darkhawk for reviewing the mag. I take what he wrote for positive
criticism and encouragement to continue working for the Amigascene.
Hopefully there will be some articles from him in this issue of Saxonia,
I will try to remind him of the deadline a day or so before, hehe.
