#standwithukraine intro

[Heaven/TQA]

as demo sceners we always want that general public sees our coding as art... and art in terms of graphics, music and style... and sometimes art has to be political...
so... here is my #standwithukriane Atari intro I have coded in just few hours to get those feelings inside out...
music was composed by Maze thanks!
As usual... my personal political demos are not published under Desire...

What a wonderful way to show some love for our friends, some no longer with us. Thank you for a tasteful visual hope for peace.

[Marius]

My best friends from the amazing Color Music Children's choir are from Dnipro, Ukraine. They left the country, but had to leave the husband and dad from the family in Ukraine. 

thanks for this beautiful tribute. It means a lot to them, and to me. 
 

 

[+Stephen]

Great demo and an even better message - could not agree more and hope this is resolved as soon as possible!

Good stuff Karolj!

Sorry for derailing this thread but when seeing the doves in this demo I wish there were a patched version of the Summer Games intro where the dove player missiles are corrected.

What do you mean? You mean the ones moving into others at the top? Because I ripped the sprites there 199x and used them in my Carpe demo… from where I ripped them now for this…

[Mclaneinc]

I think he just means that he wants a Summer Games with the sprites fixed..

Yeah I think those strange copy paste bugs yeah… btw had a look on all versions (8bit) of Summer Games and all of them look odd… even the c64 one…

 

1984 good old days when West against East… anything changed? 

[Mclaneinc]

 

Back then, If it was animated then that was enough

 

And yes, it seems no change... Truly sad..

Yes, that's what I meant.

 

Here's a link to a youtube video where you can see it right at the beginning.

The question is if it is visible on 80s TV sets (border?)

[patjomki]

Yes, it is.

 

I was playing it back in the days on an old Grundig TV and I recognized it there for the very first time (still have the original from Epyx).

[Mark2008]

I think it's a great demo.  I'm sure events touch us all in different ways.  I live in the U.S. but I own a home in Kremenchuk, Ukraine.  Obviously I have family and economic ties to the country.  My wife and daughter are Ukrainian and anyway, frankly I don't want to run afoul of the rules here. 

 

ah frankly I've been talking on this subject non-stop and yet somehow also don't know what to say....it's just so tragic.

Hey, if you don't mind me doing a little of the same...

 

the truth is, when I'm at AtariAge, I talk about that pre-teen boy that owned an Atari 400 and had visions of changing the world with computers.

And certainly that is part of who I am today.

 

But that hasn't been my whole life, there was also that young man that lived in Kyiv that fell in love and married a Ukrainian woman and adopted her infant daughter.

 

And there is Olga, my wife's mother who lived with us for years, and was an everyday part of our life, and is now trapped in Ukraine

 

And the truth is, I know I"m in America,  i'm not facing this....Olga faces it, not me.    And my sister-in-law, and my brother-in-law who now fights for Ukraine, they face it.     

 

But yes, I see that I'm not alone in, you know, being upset over it.  I just am, sad and at times boiling angry

Well I have many ties family wise to Ukraine… cousins of my son being 18 years old just in time at military services before the shit hit the fan… he is now in Kiev… my sons uncle even retired from military went back to defend… relatives went to Hungary and Slovakia… son’s grand parents staid… as they don’t want to leave their houses… are too slow running into bunkers when air raid Trainings etc etc… (luckily they are all based to the Hungarian border south west)…

 

it hits you more when you have a kind of connection… 

 

what is more weird 2022 all those military terms we now know and here right few hundred km away from EU… not in Afghanistan, Syria or Mali…

[Mclaneinc]

I'm so sorry for folks that have connections to this insane war, I can only imagine how I would feel, and it's not good. Yet again, a group of people dictate what is not the wish of the actual people in Russia, most are totally against this war.

 

I can only hope that you folks with loved one's in Ukraine can either get them out or they remain safe..

 

Our thoughts are with you and everyone over there..

 

Sorry to mods or admin if my post is deemed wrong, I don't want to discuss politics, just wanted to pass on sympathy and care..

Hang in there.  Even those of us with no personal ties are feeling the same sadness.  No innocent person needs to suffer this for no fault of their own.  I am as far removed from this as can be, and am deeply saddened by it.

[Marius]

We will probably welcome Ukrainian people in our home. They are very kind and grateful people. I do not want them to go to a special refugee camp. I would like to know them better, and support them. So I let them stay in my home. We will live together for a few months. It's the least I can do. I will show them the demo you created. I am sure they will be amazed that such an old piece of computer technology will play a demo in favor of their country. 

This demo means a lot to me, and I am sure it will mean even more to them. 

 

Thanks again!

[Mclaneinc]

I'm sure it's not lost on anyone that Putin says he's removing Nazi's in Ukraine by actually duplicating the same actions the Nazi's did, I so wish the Russian people could see what is actually happening. Let's hope these people can escape or win against huge odds. The demo was a brilliant way of peacefully supporting these poor folk. And let's praise the Polish people for stepping up and helping these people, and for all the other nations looking to help.

 

That's it, I've said enough already, but I think the world needs to say so much more..

I can barely imagine what it must be like ... all I can say is I hope things work out for the best and this gets resolved peacefully.
