New Audio-Track from Bjorn Lynne
Bjorn Lynne has released his Audio-Track "Back in the Big Time" on mp3.com as free MP3.

Lynne wrote:
I hope you'll like the track. I did everything myself on it, including the sexy "uh..." voice :-), the "bap-bap-bap-baaah" singing, the funky wah-wah guitar, etc.

The keyboard solos were deliberately included exactly as they were played on the first take, without any corrections or re-takes. I wanted to capture them exactly as they just fell out the first time, with imperfections and everything. :-)

The bass guitar sound is taken from my own instrumental sample-CDROM "Top Production Samples" ( www.lynnemusic.com/tps1.html ) which contains a lot of instruments and loops for use in your own music.

I have also entered this track into a contest/review thing at the other music site, MakeAStar.com. But it hasn't entered the "voting stage" yet. I will write again if/when this track goes into voting at MakeAStar, and hope for your vote then. :-)

This is the 6th or 7th track I have created in a kind of "jazzy" mood. I had quite a good response earlier to the tracks "Lounge Living" and "Understatement". Maybe I'll make a CD with all my jazzy tracks, just to do something different. :-)

My CD "Wolves of the Gods" is on a 14-days-only special offer during which the CD can be purchased for $12.99 instead of the normal $18.99, and there is now only 2 days left of this offer. Furthermore, you can download one track ("Kyrania") from the CD, for free in full CD quality, also for only 2 more days. So if you want to get in on this offer, please see http://www.lynnemusic.com/wolves.html today or tomorrow. (nba) (Translation: gf)

Amiforce (ANF)


Amiforce: Alternative #Amigafun Webchat and more
Unfortunately some time nothing could happen, due to some hardware problems. Now it is times again for an update.

Amigafun-Webchat:
Since Webchat for the well-known Amiga Channel in the IRC is currently not available, Amiforce offers now a HTML Chat. This Webchat should be however only a temporary solution, which can be maintained if necessary also additionally. The chat was integrated in the Amiforce forum and is attainable over a button named "#IRC". The chat is meant exclusively for Amiforce and may not be taken over on other Web pages. In this way users, which have no IRC client, can now visit the channel again. Everyone who would like to use the chat, should refer to the individual instructions, since no graphic elements are used.

Classic-Games Area:
Freeware games will be made available here. They are based on Amos offering high quality and much fun. More games will be added in the future.

Java-Script Games:
A new area will be added with games that can be played directly on our page. A lot of games will be integrated. Since Ibrowse2.3 there are many games that now are realy useable. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Image Editing: ImageMagick Version 5.5.5
ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools to read, write, and manipulate an image in many image formats (over 87 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web applications.

You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image or image sequence and save your completed work in the same or differing image format. Image processing operations are available from the command line, as well as through C, C++, Perl, or Java programming interfaces (it needs about 40 MB of free disk, check the .readme file).

Download: ImageMagick-5.5.5.lha (ps) (Translation: sk)

Logo gallery in Amiga Demoscene Archive
Do you remember all those lovely logos that used to be in Amiga productions? A lot of them were beautiful, showing great skill and talent from pixellers, pushing so much in so little colors and space. Well, today, we started something new on A.D.A., a logo gallery of the best logos ever painted. Just click on "logos" in the menu and be amazed at the first 18 logos appearing on A.D.A. This little gallery will be updated a lot in future, together with a lot of cool demos that we still have to add. If you have any comments on the new gallery, please mail them or write it in the guestbook. (nba)

Virtual Dimension (ANF)


Online-Game: New round of Star Empire 2
A new round of the Internet-space-strategy-game "Star Empire 2" will start on the 3rd of April.

The goal of the game (which is unfortunately German only) is to become ruler of the universe - but there are up to 32 human players and computer-controlled pirated to stop you. Diplomacy, alliances, but also well-armed space-ships will be needed.

"Star Empire 2" is a server-based game, i.e. the game itself runs on the computers of Virtual Dimension and every player gets a weekly report about what's going on. Based upon this information commands are sent back to the server. There's no need for a client, because standard-html- and ascii-files are used.

The subscription to the new round will be possible until 2003/03/29, the first reports will be sent out on Thursday, 2003/04/03. On that day the old round - which had to be suspended due to technical problems - will continue as well.

As a little goodie it is now possible to download the "Star Empire 2"-Trailer from Virtual Dimension's anniversary video seperately (sorry Timothy, it's still German only ;-).

P.S: The server program runs on AmigaOS, of course... :-) (nba)

DiscreetFX Logo For Dollars Cash Giveaway Challenge
DiscreetFX LLC Inc., Real-time Broadcast Quality Visual Effects developer for the Amiga/Video Toaster Flyer and Video Toaster [2] announces a new challenge for Amiga/Video Toaster artists worldwide.

Deep in the labs of DiscreetFX we are looking for a new logo but we can't find one and we are too lazy too design it ourselves. Also, we know there are some damn talented artists in the Amiga & Video Toaster community and wanted to give everyone a stab at doing it for us with cash and product incentives of course.

So here is the deal on our logo challenge. We will allow you the Amiga & Video Toaster community to design our new logo for us. Also we will post all submissions on our website and allow you the community vote on which logo we will use. So fire up those paint packages, animation packages and Flash creation tools fellow artists. We would not dare limit your creativity so we have very few limitations or rules for the challenge. Artwork/animations can be submitted as still images (IFF, JPEG, TIFF etc.), Flash animations, AVI files or whatever you wish. We only ask that whatever you submit is your original work and that it does not suck. What you submit must have the words "DiscreetFX" in some type of fancy pose or flash animation. Be creative and use your mind, we don't care if it is "Psygnosis" style or "New Age" style or "Retro" style. We leave the talent to you, all we offer is an open wallet for the winners. Don't forget that it will be voted on and judged by your peers so do a good job! Create your masterpieces with FlashMX, ImageFX 4.5, Zbrush, Photogenics 5, or even Deluxe Paint version 1 on the Amiga 1000, we don't care as long as the artwork is fantastic.

The Winner takes home a prize of $100 via Paypal and one of the products of his or her choice from our development team http://www.discreetfx.com/Products.html. Or if the Winner is especially greedy they can opt for just $200 via Paypal and skip the free software. There will be prizes for runner up contestants as well. You will have to hurry though because this contest ends on April 3rd, 2003.

Please send your contest entries to amigaart@discreetfx.com. All submitted artwork/animations become the property of DiscreetFX but will never be used without compensation to the artist that created them.

Also please don't forget that we still have a limited supply of the two CD set Amiga/Video Toaster version of Pyromania and it will be available for a short time at the sale price of $24.95. ScaryFX for the Amiga & Video Toaster is also still available for $19.95. Visit www.discreetfx.com for more information and the latest tools for your Amiga & Video Toaster. (nba)

Pegasos photos from Kieler Amiga Hardwaretreffen 2003
On Saturday, 1st March this year's hardware meeting of the Amiga-Club Schleswig Holstein took place in the new plenar hall of the UAS Kiel. Apart from the usual 68k and PPC based Amigas and a small exhibition of the Kieler Computermuseum this time also three Pegasos systems were to be marvelled at.

Apart from the power also the systems' three different optical outfits could impress. People who could not attend the event can get a first impression based on the pictures. (nba) (Translation: cb)
