         Interview: Abyss / Future Crew
       done by Tomcat / Controlled Dreams

- Now, how are you doing this time? Great plans?

- I'd like to first know, are you asking me as a
member of FC or a member of ASSEMBLY Organizing,
or personally? =)

- Hmmm... first let's see the FC freak. Then the
others...

-  Not much plans in the FC section. As you know
FC   isn't  very  active  as  all  members  have
projects  not  directly  related  with  FC. As a
member ASSEMBLY Organizing, the great plan is of
course to make ASSEMBLY '96 as good as possible.
And  personally, to get in good shape and lose a
few kilos =)

- Heard something about a 3D card...

-  You  are  right  about the card, more exactly
Pyramid  3D  which  is  being developed by Trug,
Trug's brother Kaj, PSI, Wildfire and some other
folks. Should appear as developer kit during the
autumn.  You  can  find  the link to the Pyramid
page     at     Future     Crew     WWW     page
(http://guru.ami.fi/fc/),  as you can find a lot
more information about FC too.

-  What will it know? (and for what price?) Just
briefly...

-  I don't remember the exact figures, but it is
pretty  hot. Check the WWW page for the details.
If  I  remember  right,  it  can do some 800,000
textured  gourad  25  pixel  polygons / sec, but
check the Pyramid 3D page for correct figures.

-  Rumours say that FC will never make demos any
more. Sure?

- Well, you never know =)

-  And there is another rumour that you had some
problems with your last demo, which has not been
released. What has happened?

-  Well,  the  rumour is correct to that we were
working  on a demo (or more correctly the coders
and  Liquid  were  active with that), but as the
veccy engine never got finished the project also
halted.

-  And  rumours  again...  Have  you been really
sacked from FC?

-  No. You can check the membership details from
our  web  site.  I  guess  the  reason for those
rumours  is  that  Starport died, but the reason
for that is more simple. =) Just didn't have the
time  to  operate  Starport while in the army...
now  that  I'm  back  we  might see some kind of
reincarnation..

-  Ah,  the  army.  The  favourite place for all
sceners. :) Howdya liked it? :)))

-  Well,  some  might say I liked it as I stayed
there  for  as  long  as  possible  and  got the
highest  possible  rank  one can get while doing
compulsory   military   service..  the  rank  is
something like second lieutenant in English.

-  Now, OK, I think I am out of questions... the
only  I  have  to  do  is  to say thanks for the
interview  and  send  greetz  to you and FC. Any
message to the Hungarian scene?

- Thanks. Message, hmm? Well, CU at ASM'96! =)
