 $DENTRO@OR@MEGADEMO


]           by SINK/HMD


 Since the beginning of the ST-scene,
five years ago, famous megademos built
ST's fame and glory .
 We find in nearly all these special
pieces of software a sprite we move
along doors for discovering great,
nice or average screens .
 (For example, we all have seen the
Union Demo, the Dark Side Of The Spoon
and other productions like these .)

 But, during the same time, the Amiga-
scene grow up 10 times bigger and
richer, structured(?) with weird names
like trackmo, partmo etc .

 So it was an evidence for certain
people that those kind of demos will
be released on ST one day . It was the
case with the DENTRO, which has the
same structure than a multipart screen
but it's pushed farer .

 And since two years, more and more
dentros are released, but classic
megademos are rare .

 But why this phenomenon have grow up
              so fastly ?

 Doing a megademo is a tiresome
project which takes a lot of time,
of reflection(tought?), a story-board
and many courage -as patience too- .

 A dentro can be made into a month
with only a little team (2 dudes :
one coder and one graphician) .




 Now let's have a look at the positive
sights in the two cases :

 - The Megademo :
    That's the goal of each group
    which is respectful of itself
    (TCB,TEX,OVR,ULM,...)
    but you won't miss it in his
    realization, else ...

 - The Dentro   :
    It allow everybody to always be
    in the winds of the scene,
    releasing a production in a few
    time while doing other projects .

]       SO, DENTRO OR MEGADEMO
]      THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU !
