Hello All.

It is now August 1997, approximately 4+ months have passed since the
launch of Yaroze in 
the UK. Quite a few Projects must now have reached Fruition. I send
greetings to Yaroze Team
& Fellow Yaroze Members World-wide.  

Q? Any Records as to How Many SCEE & World-wide Yaroze Members?    

My Own project "Hunt Seek find & Kill" has just received its fourth
update.
Features: 3 rooms of Non Stop 3d Action, Realistic Sound effects,
Guards, Doors, 
Flying Saucers, Mechs + lots of Killing. No Weapon Upgrades yet!

HSFK version 0.4a alpha should now (update permitting) be available via
my Website-: 
"http://www.cobradev.demon.co.uk/" Earlier versions have been available
for 8 weeks. 
HSFK ver.03d has been available via http://www.playstation.co.uk/~colind
for 3 weeks. 
Despite all this I haven't received a single e-mail regarding the
project from-: 
Yaroze Team, Scee or Other Yaroze members.      

Q? Does anyone involved in the Commercial World of Gaming Look at any of
these Projects? 

Q? Is the Demo Good?

Q? Is the Demo Crap?

Q? Has anyone else experienced this? 

Q? Have I upset someone?

Don't get me wrong but after -:

a) Spending £***  on a Yaroze + tools.
b) Spending £***  on books.
c) Spending £**** on  3d Art Packages :-| 
d) Spending £**** upgrading your Machine
e) Spending ****** hours coding

I would at least expect Someone of Substance from SCEE to periodically
download all the 
Yaroze Demos & give us All some feed-back! 

Q? If We Get No feedback how we gonna know if our projects are good or
crap? 
(self-praise is no recommendation).

Q? How About creating a quarterly Chart? 

The SCEE Yaroze Team could be the Judges, & offer feed back on how Demos
could be improved upon 
if needed. This would -:
a) Give us all an incentive to produce better Demos which should improve
the Quality in general.  
b)  Let us know if a project is worth pursuing. 
c)  Let anyone  have instant  access to a List of the Best & Most recent
Demos at a Glance, Rather than just  wading through The Homepage list at
random. 
d) Get used to having our work reviewed.

I reserve Judgement on my Own project, But I must mention the "ConeMan
Demo" from Lars Barstard which I think is Excellent!  

Q? After the Demo is Coded , What Next?    

I recently sent my Yaroze demo to a PC/PSX/N64 Developer (Interactive
Studios), but they 
were unable to view it because they did not have a Yaroze!! 

Q? Is there a list of Companies that have a Yaroze?

Q? Are we all dressed up with no-where to go?

Q? Can someone explain the presence of  Yaroze at ECTS? 


Thanks in Advance
