The console/wild comps are next.
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: benny! on April 08, 2007: Great ... already asked myself is there would be a live stream from the
party ... thx for sharing the link .. watching now :updance:
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Shockwave on April 08, 2007: Console comp is on now! It's really good stuff too :D
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Shockwave on April 08, 2007: TBL's Suicide Barbie demo was just about the best thing I have ever seen on a PSP!
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: p01 on April 08, 2007: the c64 demo and the console/real wild compos were really cool. I expected more from the 64k pc compo :\

Benny!: didn't you know about the live stream by demoscene.tv ? the info was all over pouet.net, breakpoint.untergrund.net, demoscene.tv, ...
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Shockwave on April 08, 2007: I agree, the standard was really high on the consoles.

I wasn't so keen on some of the Amiga demos tonight, though Haujobbs was nice.
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: p01 on April 09, 2007: Sh*t I felt asleep after the 10th PC demo and missed the best ones :(

I just watched the kkapture of Debris by Farbrausch ... ouch!
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Shockwave on April 09, 2007: It's something else isn't it?

The thing it that I believe that there are more technically accomplised demos, for example Andromedas demo is really good, I'd guess that the code in that demo is more technical than in Debris, but ffs it's amazing, they increase the size limit for submissions and then Farbrausch take the piss out of it with a sub 200kb demo. So there are two things that make it own for me, firstly the tiny size of the demo considering what it does, but more importantly the direction is what makes it a worthy winner.

Honestly I never had the feeling I did when I saw this for years. The last time I felt like that about a demo was when I saw Mental Hangover on the Amiga for the first time.

@p01: No. I really missed it. Was rather busy in the last days. Always wanted to
start a google search on it - but always forgot it. I of course know demoscene.tv
but didn't think to have a look there, either.
Shame on me ;)

Post by: Jim on April 09, 2007: Can anyone get the Kakiarts-focus 4b demo to run? It totally trashes the two PCs I've tried it on (admittedly a laptop and a Vista!). Not massively impressed by the 4Ks - some nice things, but nothing in this league http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=20967 (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=20967) (Synchroplastikum). Not that they aren't all brilliantly clever for 4k though!

Tried the standard version - and it runs ok here on my system
(P4 3.2Ghz - GeForce 6800 GT - Windows XP).
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Paul on April 10, 2007: Standard runs slow here but it runs :)

windows 2000, radeon 9800 pro ,amd 1.9 ghz

Post by: Shockwave on April 10, 2007: Kaspersky says that all the files in the Synchroplastikum 4kb contain trojans.
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Paul on April 10, 2007: I'm used to that kind of shit:D

I'll start my virus scan now, just in case
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Shockwave on April 10, 2007: It's probably nothing but always worth checking. Just in case.

Yup. It's known that some virus checkers alarm executables packed with certain
exe-packers. But check it to be on the safe side - you'll never know ;)

Post by: Paul on April 10, 2007: My virus scanner has been scanning steam for almost an hour now:(

Done now, no viruses and 130 spyware things @ medium threat
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Clyde on April 11, 2007: I especially like the C64 demos, and there's even a C64 inspired remake of Dessert Dreams.
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: rain_storm on April 11, 2007: took me over two hours to get that demotv link to completely buffer but it was a good watch. is that site normally that slow for downloading? On you tube the buffer fills faster than I can watch it.
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Clyde on April 11, 2007: I'd of guessed there's alot of people online watching it.
I must be a real thicko, as I've yet to see any live BP07 stuff.
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Shockwave on April 11, 2007: There were about 500 people tuned into dtv watching it live, but Clyde the party ended a few days ago now mate.
Title: Re: Scene Event - DemoParty
Post by: Clyde on April 11, 2007: That'll be why then, thanks for the info. I did see the DTV tour of 2006; that was quite interesting.

One of these days, I'd like to go to one of these parties / even the UK Pub Meets.
