Revision just closed its doors and although it was an online-only event for the second year in a row (and hopefully the last time), the vibe and the energy were felt loud and clear beyond its traditional Saarbrücken playground. Thanks to our lovely contributors who stayed on deck to channel the tsunami of releases, we already have the full results nicely lined up with their respective download links, all available for your perusal.

The first online demoparty dedicated to sizecoding happened last weekend, and what a blast it was! The amount of entries reached a very appropriate 256 tally, and quality was definitely there as well! Click below and see that size sometimes does matter.

Check out Byte Battle, a brand new event and concept we've invented and will be premiering at Lovebyte 2021 demoparty, where contestants are battling each other 1 vs 1 in a retro-style match against both size and time.

At the Lovebyte party, we will have 8 contestants that will duke it out in a ladder tournament on the weekend of March 12th - March 14th 2021. We will announce the contestants and first round matches at the Lovebyte Opening Show on Friday.

As some of you have figured out from the Github commit and the footer of the actual webpage - today we're announcing we're moving our community over from Slack to Discord.

The reasons for this move are many - both technical and otherwise, but most importantly it's about moving where the people are. We're seeing an increased use of the platform, and more and more we were seeing people reach out to us over there on other servers rather than joining our Slack. So overall, it made sense in the end.

In order to secure a smooth turnover, this Slack will live on through february and march, before we will close it down, which should mean everyone has a good amount of time to figure out how to move over.

So, click on through to https://discord.io/demozoo - and we'll see you on the other side.
