oh, THAT's what a 'demoscene' is

category: general [glöplog]
Is it just me or do things only get dumber when you combine demoparty with LAN party gaming circle jerk? At least they'll have internet access this time. Still waiting to hear if there'll be booze.

What's the news? Well, first off, I'd like to welcome Legalize as a co-conspirator of the Annual September Protocol 42 LAN party! Who is Legalize? Legalize runs an event called a "Demoscene", and I'm sure most all of you gamers have used and keygen or some sort of exe patching tool that had a cool little gui and some built in music. Well, that's a "demo" in this respect. People involved in the demo scene have competitions to make an entire 3D playable game with multiple levels and interaction under certain critieria, for example, the size limit would be 96 KB. There are a large number of these sorts of "demos" available, (here's one... http://www.theprodukkt.com/kkrieger.html ). So in a nut shell, that is what the demoscene is about

There was a 24k version of duke 3d ages back. Not sure if it had multiple levels though.

I think someone, somewhere is going to be sorely disappointed when the demoscene turns out to be about rotating envymapped things instead of cool, playable games.

Thanks to the Protocol 42 organizers, we have an awesome space with 36 continuous hours of demoscene madness, plenty of tables and seating and LAN hookups so you can squeeze in a few rounds of Counter Strike or download some files from the UofU's internet connection.

I think this will add a most interesting element to the LAN party and add a few contests for the LAN party goers. In the works is a Clan demo contest, which entails taking a demo creater app (made by a demoscene master) and each clan would make thier own small demo with music and graphics and other elemets to prove how cool their clan is compaired to the other clans that attend!
