Interview with OXBAB of OXYGENE: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (KD: Kickdown, OX: Oxbab) KD: To get it started, would you please give us a short introduction of yourself? OX: My real name is BALESTRA Christophe, I'm 21. I started coding on ST in 1992. My first group was Diamond on ST and OXyGene on Amiga. I like coding 3d effects. I love Christelle. I like VODKA. I hate Clary. I suck GENGIS! KD: Tell us something about your new demo, effects etc. We have heard that it will be Oxygene's last Amiga product? Oxygene 1996 - a PC group? OX: Our last demo VISION was created on 1 month. There is a lot of 3d effect (WipeOut, Fade To Black). I tried to code some bitmap effects Mon and Spiral worked on 3d scene with 3DS and they graphed with Niko Bitmap graphics. In 1996 I will code on Amiga and on Pc. KD: Looking back at what you have achieved so far, what are you especially proud of? OX: I hate INDIGO (Handigogol), and I'm very proud of Control, Vision and Flipo (ST). KD: What is your favourite game? Have you ever considered coding a game, yourself? Or have you already released one? OX: I like very much WipeOut and Ridge Racer on PSX. This summer I worked 3 weeks for CRYO to code the Commander Blood's realtime on Macin- tosh. But perhaps we will do a 3d game in 1996 on PC. KD: How much time do you spend on coding each week? And, how long does it take you to com- plete a demo? OX: I spend 10 hours per week on coding. And for a good demo I think a group must work two weeks minimum. KD: What is your first thought when you hear... Amiga? No future. PC? Sucking machine. Gengis? Indochine. Kickdown? Codac. School? World domination. True love? Christelle. Beer? No thanks I prefer VODKA. Paris? Very dangerous in the underground (Isn't it CODAC) Smoke? Where is Spiral???? Chirac? Fuck Off!!! KD: What do you think about this party, compared to the last one in Herning? OX: It is very good because I didn't present IN- DIGO. KD: Thank you for spending a little time of your life answering these questions. Any last words? OX: Oxygene rules...
