He is the man behind all the organization, and has also made the whole 3D animations for the "Innergate" demo. Being a Coder, a Graphician, a party organizer... Can this man deserve us some surprises yet? * Ok, let's start the interview. Tell us something about yourself: Name, Age, function, etc... - Well, my name is Sabino and I'm 25. My group was artifizial for a long time but now, due to the partial disolution of the group, I decided to join Necropolis as Coder and Graphician. * Getting into the Party thing, Why did you decided to built up your own party instead of going to the Party IV in Denmark as everybody seems to do? - I was in the Party III last year, and I liked it, but man, it's a 39 hours travel, so you can be sure of getting your ass plane at the end. If you have money, and you can afford a fly, then it's ok to go to the Party III because it's nice to see all the new productions at the time of their releases, but if you have no money as me... When you have no money and you want to go to a party, your head starts thinking, and that was the way we did the first Euskal Party. It was something like a proof; Held in August, it was a suscessful party with only about 100 people, who were enough for the propaganda we did. Then, we thought about making the party in december instead of August and so, the rest you know... * Didn't you see it too dangerous? I mean, what if you don't get sufficient money for the prices? - Yes, you are right, it's quite dangerous, but as I have said before, I had no money, so I looked for some sponsors, and, surprisely, they liked my idea and they support me, but only with a little contribution. This, and the entrance fee, was enough to cover all the prices. * Do you feel satisfied with the result? - Yes, but we can get it better next time. People call me now and they tell me that they have enjoied the party very much, but as I'm an organizer, I can see some troubles which they don't see. Anyway, as I said, we'll do it better next time, even if this time it was quite sucessful. * I know the productions presented were only a few. Do you feel a bit disapointed for this fact? - No, not at all. At the begining, we thought that there will be more contributions, I mean, It was ment to be 7 demos released, but only 3 got released. Instead of that, we spected only 4 intros and we got 6. I don't think too much about the productions anyway... * When will the Euskal Party III be held? - We are thinking in December again, but this time between the 6th and the 11th. * What do you think about the Spanish scene? Is to organizate a Party worth the pain? - Well, there are not a lot of groups who do productions quite often, and the groups who do productions have too much people. Maybe if a group had 2 coders instead of having 5, there will be another group (simply maths?). Anyway, it's worth the pain to organize a party, because it's good to raise up the Amiga scene, it's for sure. * Well, this is the end of the interview... Do you want to send any special message or somethin like? - No, I only want to thank every people who got to the party and remember to the people abroad that they can come to the next Euskal Party too. Thanks. Barman of Necropolis
