"Multiplatform demoscene summer party" Nordlicht took place last weekend in Bremen, Germany. While most of the releases are now available, others (from the music competition mostly) haven't been made public yet. Hopefully they'll surface soon.

Edit: results available, but some productions still missing.

The day is upon us - we're hacking on Demozoo all day, today. I know the traditional sense of a hackathon is related to development, but we're subscribing to the extended meaning of the form - all sorts of hacking on Demozoo are welcome on this day. Screenshots? Yes please! Download links? Hell yeah! Video streaming links? Credits? Comments, even? All of them!

Now, we are very aware that it may be daunting to know where to start, and what things need attention. So, with this in mind we're letting you peek behind the covers starting today, and we've made some of our maintenance reports available for everyone! With the power of these, you can easily find stuff to do. Even something as simple as finding and adding youtube links add to the site, and makes it come alive with wonderful audiovisuals.

In addition, some of our developers will be poking at various bits of the site during the day, hopefully closing some of our open Github issues during the day as well. Who knows, there may be some very exciting improvements landing too? :)

As always, we'll be in our Slack team during the day, hanging out and any questions or anything else you can probably get answered in there - get invited if you're not already in there.

Let's have some fun and get some stuff done :)
