Origins of DBF name
« on: April 08, 2011 »
I've been wondering what Dark Bit Factory and Gravity means. Are these the names of two demo groups?

Good guess!

Dark Bit Factory was a demo group formed by me and a guy called Parabellum.  We were both old Amiga freaks who re-discovered demo programming on the PC.  The forum was originally only for members of DBF but it grew!

The name Gravity is on there because two of the Administrators here were members of Gravity who made some really cool 1kb intros in the days before everyone started raymarching and it's kind of stayed like that really to say thanks to Rbz and Clyde.

Gravity are still very much alive. Just run into a spell of ill health and am here in spirt!

When ever I think of DBF, I think of Demo Builders Forum.

It's really good to see you here Clyde.

I hope to see a new gravity demo again some day when you're feeling better.
