Flashback 2012

In a few weeks, five to be exact, there will be a demoparty in Australia, called Flashback. Since a bunch of Onslaught members are from Australia and New Zealand, the group will be strongly represented there. As far as i know, Conjuror, Jazzcat and Adam are going to be at the party. We will have at least three releases that I know of and since the party organizers decided to host a remote entry competition this year, I and others from the group can and may participate, too. I am not sure with which picture I will enter the competition. I have a picture called Protection ready for release, but I am working on something more related to the party. Hopefully I can get it ready until the end of the month. It could become a massive Onslaughtfest at Flashback. Lets hope everything works out well and we will rock the place.

GubbData 2012 – results

The party is still going but the competitions actually happened and the places are give. See the Gubbdata 2012 CSDb page for details. The competitions were interesting for me in two categories, firstly the one i competed in, which was the graphics competition and secondly the democompetition because of my Onslaught groupmates were competing there. The gfx compo saw 10 entries with a masterfully crafted picture by Joe, which obviously won the competition. But it deserved it. It was 2 leagues above every other picture. My own work, Life on Mars, came 5th in the competition. That is a little less i had hoped for, especially after seeing the other entries. Some of them looked like they were wired and retouched. That is not the way i prefer it, because you hardly know how much work has been put into such releases. It can be Continue reading →

Gubbdata 2012

Next weekend there will be a small, invite-only, C64 demoscene meeting in Sweden, called Gubbdata. It is organized by hedning of G*P And they allow remote entries to be submitted to the competitions. Some of my fellow groupmates from Onslaught will attend the meeting and I know of something that will be released there. So I thought, why not support the meeting with a release myself. I sent over an earlier pixelwork of mine, called Life on Mars, which is actually my fourth work on the C64. I has been on my HD for a while and was originally meant to be released earlier, but that didn’t work out, so I have the luxury to submit it to Gubbdata. Lets see how they like it.

PixelJam 2012 – results

PixelJam 2012 is over. After SunSpire pointed me to the recorded live stream, I was actually able to watch the competitions. I guess it was a rather small party, but nevertheless it saw some entries by well known sceners and groups like Youth uprising, Fresh!Mindworkz, Prince of ToM, Coda and Forcer of Desire and TRSi. Yes, I wasn’t the only TRSi member who had submitted something to the freestyle competition. All in all there were five entries. The first two places were taken by Forcer and Prince with their great Photoshop works. Surprisingly my C64 pixelwork entry Letters from Noa came third. I like that :) . There were two other entries, one of them might have been a rendered one, but the weren’t able to collect that many votes. So, PixelJam is done and i am happy. What could be better. Next competition is to come soon. I will post the image with all the information later. Find the complete results file of the party here.

PixelJam 2012

After not being able to participate at Revisions competitions, I felt the need to send my gfx to another party for three reasons. First, it has been a while since I released something, so it is time again to show that I am active. Second, I had the image ready for a while, btw. it is called Letters from Noa, and I didn’t know exactly what to do with it. It is a half screen C64 multicolor bitmap and could be positioned aside a nice effect, but there is no effect in sight and I had no idea what to make of it. Third, PixelJam is accepting remote entries and since its a north american party shortly after Revision, it might be good to support them with stuff, since Revision saw so many releases and they probably “suffer” the consequences. I hope that others think the same way and we have more entries there than it were last year. The party will take Continue reading →
