Yeah, I skipped a week again. But that’s because there’s a ton of Breakpoint goodies to digest.
Today I offer you a selection of demos and graphics released on oldschool platforms at the last Breakpoint installment. Only my selections! If you wish to see the complete prod list and rankings, check out the Breakpoint website.
Now, after the jump, enjoy some still and motion graphics from the demoscene:
The most “liked” oldschool platform demo on Pöuet, TBL’s Starstruck is an incredible technical feat on the Amiga platform, and a very well designed one at that. Even featuring music by one of my all time favourite Amiga composers, olof Gustafsson a.k.a. Blaizer, this demo is a corker and arguably defined TBL as THE Amiga group.
Enjoy
Better late than never! :P
The Forever 2010 party ended like 10 days ago and I forgot to post the results. Some gems can be found in the Graphics compo, and the winning C64 music production is an unbelievable piece by Jammer. Truly amazing SID synthesis!
Full result list after the jump:
The (sadly) last edition of Breakpoint, one of demoscene’s more reknowned demoparties, is happening now in Bingen am Rheim, Germany.
If you didn’t get to travel or can’t visit, you can follow the action on the stream.
I just spotted Syphus in there xD
In this week’s demo column, I am stoked to present this production. Super legendary group Dual Crew Shining makes a comeback to the demoscene and in the Commodore 64 no less, with this demo/experiment which can only be described as “mindblowing”. It’s just… fucking incredible. Certainly Edge of Disgrace has been displaced and the bar for C64 technical achievement has been raised a lot. Did I mention it’s real time 3D polygons with 8 bit samples (using a routine based off THCM’s mindblowing sample playing routine)?? You really need to see it in real hardware though to apreciate it. This is a WinVice emulated output.
This is a great warm-up release for this weekend’s Breakpoint Party in Germany (which you should check out on the stream!)
Enjoy
