New platform: FreeBSD!
While we were looking at the new Faemiyah release Adarkar Wastes from Instanssi this weekend, we noticed it targeted FreeBSD. So, curious as we are, we got to wondering how many other productions also target that platform. As it turns out, quite a few! Thankfully, our users had made good use of the tag system, so finding them were a breeze. So without further ado, here we go:
SynchroNY 2018: results and releases all aboard!
On 19th and 20th January SynchroNY 2018 took place across borders, starting in New York City, continuing on an Amtrak train and ending up in Montreal. Results and all releases (except one!) are now available.
Gerp 2018 releases and results are here!
Swedish Amiga party Gerp was back for a weekend of demomaking earlier this month and the results and files are now available. Click below for a full serving of releases for your Amiga, with a pinch of Atari ST for good measure.

Demobit 2018 results and files are now available
Demobit took place 2nd-4th February in Bratislava Slovakia and all the resulting demo bits (got it?) have been released - demos, intros, animation graphics and music. Enjoy!
New cross-platform music player: HippoPlayer!
Friend of the site, Daniel Collin has finally unveiled a project he has been working on: A cross-platform (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) music player specifically for demoscene-centric formats! It's still early days, but he's hoping announcing it now will help with participation from the scene (and the rest of the world), so start adding some issues for features you'd want to see, any bugs you may encounter, and if this project interests you on a code level, it's written in Rust and your code contributions are also more than welcome!
Announcement on twitter: https://twitter.com/daniel_collin/status/958349902811103232
GitHub page: https://github.com/emoon/HippoPlayer

Modland webplayer!
Recently, a new webplayer appeared for playing tunes directly off Modland, by way of the libxmp library. Ofcourse, Modland containing as vast a selection of tunes as it does, only a subset of tracker tunes are available, but it's still 161 thousand at the time of writing, so you're not too bad off. You can basically just set it off, and it finds random songs to play, making your own random demoscene music radio station.
I'm sure the author of the webpage, schugo, appreciates any feedback you can give him, so please let him know his project rocks :)
TMDC 20 results and files - who needs graphics?
For 20 years TMDC (aka Text Mode Demo Compo) has been celebrating the fine art of making demos in text mode only. The results and files of the latest edition have just been released. Enjoy!
DiHalt 2018 Lite files and results!
Files and results from this weekend's DiHalt event in Russia just popped in the door, and we've made sure to add all the results to Demozoo, so all you lovely people can go ahead and match some files, create some screenshots, add some credits, and comment on it all.
A special shout-out to our very own Sensenstahl who took home 1st prize in the high end intro competition with Demozoo ad!
Last Party 2017 - last results and releases for this year!
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Last Party, the Polish Atari 8 bit only event that traditionally takes place just after Christmas. This time again there's a nice bunch of releases to end 2017 with. See you in 2018 for more demoscene goodness!
Under Construction - construction complete!
This weekend's Under Construction seems to have been another roaring success for the construction workers in Attention Whore, with some reeeeally tasty releases. So, really - just get stuck in and explore :)
