Besides, it's probably a good indication next year will be better.

...I hope.

It was either here or in the Revision 2013 Damages thread that D.Fox said that unless something really spectacular happens the group/person who handled the outside food stuff won't be back next year.

Apparently that stuff wasn't even cleaned up and all off-site a week after.
A few more pics have been added, starting at page 18. http://www.slengpung.com/?eventid=603

...aren't germans tired of that font already? They've been using it for at least two mileniums! I've seen it used in an Asterix book, and that was 2063 years ago!

I wrote a report of the party on Push'n'Pop. Enjoy!

Great report Toms! and:

At the same time, some sceners (Okkie, Kusma, Knoeki, Kalms and Tjoppen) were analyzing the Oldskool entries in the compo studio. It was fun to learn they thought that Batman Forever and Still Rising were released on MSX!


Haha, shit, really? I must admit I don't really remember a lot from that compo studio (I once again apologize) but had I been sober I would have known their CPC demos! Sorry dudes :D

toms: "About the live acts, I felt a bit disappointed this year because there were only DJ-sets"...

You're probably talking about music style there, right? Coz there weren't only DJ sets ;) I wasn't mixing for exemple.

toms: oh, but of course, you weren't there on friday, so you wouldn't know;) My bad.

fun game to play with that report: use the browser's string-find feature to highlight occurrences of all mentions of "CPC", optionally try to make drawings out of the points.

or better, just take PCP and stare at the article.
challenge accepted. I found a pacman

Okkie: actually Kusma did the mistake and after having hesitated few seconds, you restored the truth. So your demomaker's honor is saved! :)

Alkama: indeed, I was talking about music style. It would have been great if there had been more diversity. For example, no chiptune musician has ever been invited to perform on stage at Revision. It would be so fun! And I missed some guitars this year :)

Gargaj: I bet you are a procedural graphics expert! :)

Thank you for reading!

I kept trying to correct them, but I didn't manage to get inbetween, damnit!

After Outline 20xx, I experienced Stu and that blew me away, most awesome performance ever!

@alkama: Damn, your set rocks! Thanks to Scenesat/reLive I just had a mega blast here. Wicked.

Slayer: I'll bite. Let's take your winning Oldskool Graphics entry

BB Image

After transferring it to an actual Amiga, displaying it, running the Amiga's output through a scan converter (Sony DSC-1024) to eliminate all the non-standardness of its output signal, capturing it to DV and applying some careful color correction (same for all submissions on the same platform) it looks like this:

BB Image (raw pixels, not PAL aspect ratio corrected)

At the beamteam we just play the DV footage and scale it up to 1920x1080 (the projector's native resolution) with bicubic filtering and aspect ratio correction, and what you see on the big screen is exactly:

BB Image ("view image" to see it in full size, pouet will scale it down).

(note that on YouTube it comes out a bit darker despite a fully digtal signal chain but there's too much stuff going on in between to account for)

Now, as you supplied an "upscaled" 1280x1024 version with big 4x4 pixel blocks in your submission it's clear that you probably imagined the final outcome on the big screen differently from what was shown. BUT: We'll always use real hardware to show all entries whenever possible (eg. some C64/Speccy images make use of PAL color artifacts that would be lost), and no, we won't set the back end scalers to Neirest Neighbor either because A pixel is NOT a little square.

So. We're always thankful for suggestions on how to improve the chain between your releases and the big screen (especially more modern capturing equipment that doesn't just crash when confronted with an old 80s computer output would be nice), but if you don't have any, we can't really do anything for you.

Also note that a few things you did (eg. the dithering to full red to the right of the scarecrow) are outside of what PAL can handle losslessly, so the biggest losses probably happened at the exact point the image left the original hardware. Just saying. ;)
