Ok you guys, I have a question. You're working on a demo. Now, as the demo starts you'll prolly want to have an effect or two, and then have the titles. The name of both the demo, and your group. Now the demo is yet unnamed, and may well be dependant upon what the demo is like, which none of us bystanders know, but the name of the group might as well be hashed out, especially if we all can throw countless useless suggestions at you. Or is the name already picked as "The Demo Team"? I truely hope not, since this is a very boring name. If you want to follow the tradition of asm demos it has to be a really overhyped faceless technology power name thing. My favorite name was probably "The Silents" which has this really neat feel to it, but unfortunately when said sounds like "The Silence". Dust, Anarchy, Future Crew, etc all have that je ne sais quoi of cyberpunk teen stuff. But most anything can be made to sound interesting if it's distinct and then you attach a killer demo to it. 🙂 Oh, and for an example of a name I think rots: Keen Like Frogs. 😛 Ideas anyone?

Well, I guess we really don't have a name of the group or the demo right about now. Thanks for your concern because it's nice to know what other people think are neat and "powerful" names. If you ask me, I like "Silence" or something like that. We have a conference tonight so I think I'll start off with that question. Thanks again!

<<< Keen Like Frogs >>> Pretty good. But isn't that YOUR name? <grin> What is your name? I think "The Demo Team" is boring, too. Thanks. Well…we (The Demo Team) read this section. Although we don't reveal our secret projects (until we get them to some stage of completion) you are welcome to talk about what we should do. Here's an essay test for everyone: "If I were going to write a world-class demo, it would be, like, …."

Hardwired is an Amiga demo (by Silents?). Regards, Jens.

>> Hardwired is an Amiga demo (by Silents?).<< Damn, and to think I was being original. The Silents seem to have this naming thing down pretty well.. Optic Nerve, Hardwired.. I think I would name my group (if I ever had one) Frenetic.
