Your work was good enough for our disks but the problem is there are always a few winners. More luck next time. Just continue your work and join our new competitions.......... ============================================================================= 2 > UGA Low budget label: ============================================================================= Because I think software is a mass product and can be cheap we will launch an own software label with software which will give you value for money. Therefor we are looking for finished programs for releasing in it. Our first product will be released in Dec 89 and is called: Musical Enlightenment and will give music composers a very complete tool to make tunes,effects and full sample editing for a price of about $27 (15 Pounds,DM 50 or Dfl 55,--). The demoversion will be available on 11 Nov 89 and will cost $5. If you like to order the demoversion or the original just contact UGA. If you are a coder with no ideas > we have several ideas : Filecopier + diskcopier in one program, Font/Sprite editor in one program A synthical music composer for internal music soundtracks Shoot em up games like "Silkworm" , A good labelprinter + address database in one program + lots more ideas , interested ? let me know.... ============================================================================= 3 > Winter Competitions 1989: ============================================================================= Deadline for entries: 31 March 1989 !!!!!! Conditions for entries : 1> Material has to be new and never been spread before. 2> Material is for exclusive use in the UGA PD serie. It is a pity that i have to add this option but I feel sick about many PD companies who just rip my serie off directly after release for compacting in their own series without given ANY credit to UGA. Please note this exclusive remark in your program or doc-file.
