[edit] Out of place

"Hugi was always discussed (as every diskmag) because it explains the demoscene "underground" to beginners. This was intended. No "scene" can live without novices." Isn't the last sentence a bit out of place? I suppose general statements don't belong here. Actually the whole paragraph seems weird to me. 80.108.37.108 14:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions for expansion

To better demonstrate Hugi's notability, and help save the article from deletion, I'd suggest the following additions/changes:

- List references to Hugi from other sources. Where else has it been mentioned or promoted?

- List innovations and key contributions to the scene. The coding compo is an example, so that section could be expanded. How much impact has the diskmag had on the demoscene in general?

- How popular is it? Any idea on the number of readers per issue? Is it really known outside of the scene?

Feel free to use ideas from the Hornet Archive article. :) --Vossanova o< 20:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible expansions in detail

  • Hugi was one of the first diskmags that was released as a Windows executable (September 1998). Moreover, it was a dual DOS and Windows diskmag for 6 issues (September 1998 to August 1999). Both facts were strongly noteable at this time and caused a lot of discussion.
  • Hugi was always discussed (as every diskmag) because it explains the demoscene "underground" to beginners. This was intended. No "scene" can live without novices.
  • Hugi was and is importand for hobby software developers because it explains algorithms, graphics effects and so on.
  • Hugi was and is one of the best-looking electronical magazines with smart usability. Some famous (in the demoscene) artists drawed pictures and interface graphics for the magazine. --217.245.206.86 10:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
