Nordlicht files are in!
Nordlicht is an efficient bunch, and won the "make our files available" race - files from all compos are now available over on scene.org. We already detailed the compos as they were happening, so now - everyone go tie all that information together, make screenshots and detail it all :)
Please note that no results are available yet, as Nordlicht does not have prizegiving until this morning.
Four Parties this weekend!
No less than four - that's 4 - parties take place this weekend, making it one of the busiest demoscene weekends in recent times. They are;
Nordlicht 2016 in Bremen, Germany.
Edison 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden.
Gubbdata 2016 in Lund, Sweden.
Dihalt 2016 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
If you can not attend either of these events, we have it on good authority that Scenesat is a good place to hang out to catch live streams of the goings-on during the next few days. They've recently upgraded their streaming servers to a 10gbit uplink, to hopefully be able to serve everyone in a good way. We're looking forward to seeing (and hearing!) the productions pop up on Demozoo over the course of the weekend.
Happy travels!

Demozoo is now fully https!
You may have noticed the little green padlock in your browser url bar the last few days, and now that all the kinks have been ironed out and we are confident everything works as it should - we can hereby announce that Demozoo is now fully https compliant!
In our consideration, https should really be the standard for any website in 2016, and we are happy to finally be fully encrypted.
Very Important Party 2016 files are in!
And just like that, the files from VIP showed up as well. All entries seem to be accounted for, save for one wild demo which we're sure will appear eventually. And, seriously, where outside of Revision do you see separate four and multichannel tracked music competitions these days? :)
Very Important Party 2016 results!
As the title says - the results of Very Important Party 2016 have been uploaded to scene.org, unfortunately none of the other files have yet. Either way, results are now fully available on scene.org and we expect files to show up momentarily :)
Decrunch files now available on scene.org!
Files from the Polish oldskool-oriented party Decrunch are now available on scene.org for your perusal :)
Simulaatio 2016 files now available on scene.org!
Files from the recent Simulaatio 2016 party just appeared on scene.org, for your perusal. Go have fun!
Demozoo now streams audio!
It gives me great pleasure to announce a major new feature for Demozoo - music tracks can now be streamed directly from the browser. Check it out here... example
It's based on Demozoo's very own Cowbell player https://demozoo.github.io/cowbell/, to allow seamless playback of MP3s, OGGs, PC / Amiga tracker formats (i.e. anything that can be played by libopenmpt), ZX Spectrum formats, and doubtless more to come in future. Currently, the tracks we have available for playback are:
- all (unzipped) MP3 / OGG music hosted on scene.org
- all tracker files hosted on Modland
- all tracker files hosted on The MOD Archive
- all ZX Spectrum tracker files hosted on zxdemo.org
Happy listening!
