Intel Demo Competition 2007
category: general [glöplog]
xxx: thats the beginning of june, isnt it. damnit, you said we'd have like 2 months to make it! :)
xxx: so, that's two to two and a half months before the 10th of august. that makes it something like the 27th of may to the 10th of june, am i correct? or; something like a month after the announcement of the competing teams? holy moly, that's a little tight, especially when it's so close to other summer parties.. well, at least mfx and their bastard stepchildren will have time to release about a gazillion entries by then ;)
smash/gloom: Since half of the jury members are demo party organizers I guess they'll extend the deadline somehow. ;)
This is the most confusing thread on pouet.
If FR delivers Debris. than they are automaticly in ;)
magic - nooooooo? You think so? ...
*captain obvious.mp3*
magic: pff, boxes? please -- bring something a little more original to the table.

1) Turn in your best demo ever made.
2) Get preselected
3) Get a free PC
4) Make demo
5) Sell PC on eBay
6) Profit.
Z) For a pittance, a company gets better promotion from a self-confessed underground scene than it could ever get from a real think tank for 40 times the price -for starters.
So everybody wins?
tribao: Everyone selected to enters, yes. The winner just wins the price they already got x4. :)
Not exactly what I meant...

Not if this prevents the best scene groups from competing at scene parties where I personally would prefer to see their releases.
Still nice of Intel to support the scene though, but IMHO it would be nicer if they sponsored competitions at demoparties instead of organizing their own compo.
sparcus, they DO sponsor demoparties. else you wouldn't have the pleasure to enjoy breakpoint and evoke.
1) Participate and get a free laptop
2) ...
3) Profit

No what they need to do is accept Amiga demos in those compos. :P

Once there was a time when demos were released outside parties too... So i really don't see the difference here.
rainmaker: i think that business-plan might need a bit of explaination to people who don't watch south park. :) The Underwear Gnomes
Best. Business plan. Ever.
Best. Business plan. Ever.
i think so too gloom
so, whos been selected? im dying to know.
Smash: I heard rumors about Megaforce, Quartex, Kefrens and Wild Copper.
Who entered? Is the submitted entries on their web site?
well, we didn't even submit a demo. (not that i know of, anyway)
and never rule the future crew out!
keops: i heard rumours of megahawks and ninja gefilus.
