I enjoyed being a sofa scener for the Deadline 2025 demo party, in Berlin, though I didn't wind up watching the demo competition that wrapped up after 3a local time.it was really late. i remember falling asleep and when i woke up again, they were still streaming :-p
It's interesting on my level of engagement with it, as after a while my brain kinda felt overloaded, and I did other things. Which I probably would have done in person, too, but with juggling or socializing. And possibly still would have felt overloaded.not to bad! it is a big one, over multiple standard size screens.
Anyway, I did have a remote entry in the Textmode Graphics compo: demozoo.org/graphics/378251/
The theme of the party was "B-Movie", and I was attempting to draw a femme fatale. It was the first time I've done a work of any size using iCE colors, which is why I'm not posting it somewhere on FSXnet.
It placed 17th of 20th, and I... really have no idea why. I'm assuming a combo of remote entry, people just liking Petscii/Commodore/Amiga stuff more, people not liking an oversex'd entry, people not knowing me, and, for all I know, people not liking me.
Anyway, there were plenty of nice entries, and I'll give a special shout out to Revengeday, with a solid 6th-place entry (demozoo.org/graphics/378253), who directly mentioned coming from a BBS background, and who made it to the party.i think as small of a scene as demoscene and bbs scene are, it can't hurt to push and help each other out where we can.
Anyone else up to anything interesting on a creative project?i have good intentions of becoming creative again ;) =) LOL

i always try to find someone to have a chat with while watching demo
party live streams. join me in MRC or in irc.libera.chat #demoscene if
you like.

i know i could not create such an ansi artwork. all i doo is playing around with text and big letters and stuff =)
that way, or as you said were there in person. Or your entry was not perceived as stylish or "cool" enough. who knows!
They should offer online voting, just for reference, not for official results. But it would be interesting if the online votes would differ
alot from the votes of the participants that have been right there live and in person.

I've never considered myself much of an artist, figuring that most of this is developed skill.
And I still have a ways to go on the skill aspect, too.
But, yeah, I thought I executed this one fairly well, and that height made it take a while to get it done.
My artistic skill and talent are unlikely to reach Luisa's level in general, though, and that's perfectly reasonable.
For what it's worth, people could write in for remote vote keys, ahead of the party. I did so, but I did it because I wanted to be able to submit something.

Yeah, absolutely. These are definitely subcultures. The most famous demosceners are not remotely famous once they leave a demo party, and as interesting as the hobbies are, there's nothing about them, at this point, that's profitable.
Honestly, it's amazing how much work people put into these things, whether it's in the time and effort in creating stuff, or all the orga work.
Regardless, hopefully your good intentions lead to something _eventually_.
master. And you might see your own work completely different compared to how someone else sees it.
well, you never know. Its maybe better not to compare yourself to much with someone else, but try to find your own style.
Oh really! i wish i knew. i went to their voting page during the live
Thatswhy i try to get used to making SID music, but i am used to work "visually". I'm also a visual learner.
programs like goattracker or cheesecutter are completely non "visual" in the way they work. Quite abstract. Just alot of numbers and letters,
even in the instrument editor etc.
So you can't just use those trackers intuitively. Almost always a Text based User Interface (TUI). It is a bit complicated but i'm sure i can learn that and get it into my head. at least i gonna try. =)
