Event id #3294 : X-2024
I was having a discussion with a few guys over beers in X'2023 and the compos. I was telling about my days as OR8 pilot in the RC world where we had junior, hobby and pro categories for the races.
To make it abit more motivational the people/groups who aren't 20 members strong each with 30+ years of demo coding experience it might be worth while considering other options ?
eg. some of the ideas we discussed:
. Having a pro (ie previous winner category) and hobby section so that contributors are compared to peers of similar experience
. Splitting the voting/ranking for 1 filers from multi disk entries
. Newcomer award for those individuals or teams who never submitted to X before |

Quote: Will there be streaming?
Streaming is provided courtesy of FRaNKy on Twitch and Scenesat:

We've also got the music compo on our Transmission64 YouTube channel:

It looks like there's no video feed to stream from the concerts downstairs. |

The recorded stream will automagically pop up in our video archive at https://scenesat.com :) And you can also rewind the running stream, in case you're late to the show and want to catch up. |

Quote: I think Camelot will win. Or perhaps Resource!
you will win if you join cosine ;-)
people hold back stuff for 1 or 2 years. thats how it is now.
I'm glad my old dutch friends hold such a good party BUT it's a bit like football premier league vs some guys who have the sunday kick about after a drinking fest on a saturday night.
finding stuff that hasn't been done already.. good luck with that.. just seems about optimization now.. like games, it's gone the way of the music industry.. demos from say 85+ onward are a very distant thing.
it's maybe 5 or 10 groups that REALLY push to win.. vs other groups with far less resources..
right , anyone got crossbows email ? i'm sure he'll join up ;-) |

While I agree it's harder to find new things to do on a technical level there is still much to explore storywise and both audibly and visibly. Finding new ways to express yourself with visuals and music perfectly synced together bringing emotions to demos in a new way.
I will keep doing this as long as the people I work with put up with me! :)
And don't sit and hold back releases. Working in a constant pace while the iron is hot is the key. Otherwise it's start and stop and that breaks the creative flow.
Thanks for X24. See you at X26 and I will be there again.
Keep demoing! |

The Fairlight demo looked really something.
I liked the tune that plays at the end, by Danko.
Loved all the red & white text over images, and the images themselves. The theme/story worked really well.
Does the demo have enough to make it into the CSDb Top 10 ? |

I feel like our entry was primarily about showcasing a couple of new things on a technical level. |

After watching FG and FLT productions or Reflex 4k I'd argue there's still a lot room for fresh codeporn and 'how TF did they do' moments <3 |

That kid trident was a nice catch for FLT (nice talking to you), looking 4wd to future X when other 1337 groups join again, FLT is definetely a group I expect to keep competing for winning in the next couple of years. |
