Graphics programming, demoscene and book reviews
The main theme of the 9th edition of Riverwash party was the Wild West. At the beginning of September, about 150 cowboys and cowgirls travelled on their horses to Katowice in Poland. Some brought valuable goods with them. Let’s see if they left some gold nuggets there.
Have you ever been to a party organised in a forest and where most participants sleep in tents? That’s the experience offered by Solskogen party! Its recent edition took place between 14th and 16th July in Flateby, not too far away from Oslo. Let’s review newskool demos from the biggest demoscene party in Norway.
There is one special day in a year when you can watch a live stream of a demo competition while eating your breakfast (sausages with mustard, anyone?). Thanks to the time zone difference, this happened to me on a Sunday morning, the second day of Tokyo Demo Fest 2017 party. Let’s review the releases made by our fellow demosceners from Japan.
The previous edition of Demobit party took place in 2001. 16 years later, its organisers have decided to resurrect it and once again invited sceners to Bratislava. Let’s take a closer look at new demos released at this Slovakian party.
The biggest Polish multiplatform party is doing well. After few editions with a smaller number of releases, sceners delivered lots of demos and intros.
There is no Revision without Amiga demo compo. This year, 9 groups delivered their prods. That’s actually more than in the previous years (with 6 entries on average) but it’s a result of transferring OCS/ECS Amiga demos from the oldskool compo. Let’s see if the quantity makes up for the quality.
The biggest demoscene party in the world is over, and we have a lot of new, high quality releases. Without all the drama of reversed lists and countdowns, let’s start from the highest ranked prods.
