A.D.A. Amiga Demoscene Archive

The Breakpoint 2007 page is up here.

Will TBL strike back and win for the 6th time or will IRIS win for the 2nd time? Will Ephidrena have a finished demo this time and finally win BP, building on their superb Lux Aeterna engine (which introduced a lot of new stuff)?
Will Tulou bring another "feel-good" demo and build further on the strengths of their previous well-received demo?
Will Loonies present yet another great 4k or maybe even a 64k?
Will RNO bring us another dope ecs release?
...

And will there be new coders appearing or ex-coders making a come back?

Time will tell... still more than 3 months to go.

It will be very hard for TBL or anyone to top Starstruck ! Still looking forward to seeing the new releases.

Winden/Kalms are you working on any demo at the moment ?

@Toffee:

Winden hasn't coded anything big (demo) since 1998 so i don't think we'll see a comeback from him. In general, i'm being a bit too optimistic about people making a comeback... they rarely do.

Still it would be nice to see some new coders. From the forums here, it seems several people are still willing to learn (and you've got people who already know a lot and definately should try making a prod,... aren't they toffeeman :o))

Breakpoint is going to be great, I've just book my flight ticket on the ukscene plane can't wait.

Are you going to make the trip this year z5? It would be very nice to meet you in person and BP is such an amazing experience.

roughly 30 days to bkpt $7d7
So, any rumors except the upcoming fight for
world domination between StingRay and Doom :D ?

Apparently I have not yet heard the rumor regarding the Stingray vs. Doom battle. Any good?

I hope that dODgE and Moods will release another enjoyable intro, just like last year :o)

@Corial ... just browse several useless Pouet threads or sweep through the oneliner history :D

@z5_ maaaayyybeee ;)

Does anyone know where I can download the seminars for Breakpoint and other parties ?

www.scene.org dosen't seem to have last years ones and I'd like to see them and this years when they come out.

It's here! I wonder what will be relesed for Amiga this year...the tension is so tight in my underpants. I can't wait!

Thanks for the reminder although I wish you hadn't said anything as now I have to wait 2 days untill the releases ;0)

Hopefully http://www.demoscene.tv/page.php?id=1&lang=uk or someone else will stream the comps live.

You can get some of last years BP seminars here (just do a search on seminar on this page).

Cheers Z5 I will download them.

Yeah you can watch the party live:-

The amiga 64k intro competition was quite cool. Does anyone has any info on the amiga 4k competition?

Yeah was quite good. If you are watching the Amiga demo comp live tomorrow do you want to meet on MSN or somewhere ? Anyone else want to ?

Starstruck/TBL got best Graphics (Eph should have deserved this) and best Direction at the Scene.org awards.

@toffee: i'm afraid i got stuck at using email (i don't use irc nor msn). But i'm sure we will get time to talk about them here on A.D.A

toffee: why not join IRC netwok and join the Official BreakPoint channel? (#breakpoint)

it's full of pople actaully at the party and others watching the live stream...

@klipper:

Any info on the amiga 4k competition. Did it take place and how many 4k's were released?

@z5: there were 2 amiga 4k. One from Scarab and a coop by Loonies and Ephidrena.

@Corial: thanks for the info! It was great to see 2 prods from you and your brother at BP :o)

@z5: yeah, I almost couldn´t believe that I found time to do something again. Leisner is far from technically advanced, and therefore I also considered releasing it outside a party, but on the other hand I really wanted to see some of my own stuff on a 6x4 metres screen again :-)

So far has been released:
- amiga 4k by Scarab
- amiga 4k by Ephidrena and Loonies
- amiga 64k by IRIS
- amiga 64k by Focus Design and Brainstorm
- amiga 64k by Focus Design and Haujobb
- amiga 64k by Moods Plateau
- amiga 64k by RNO
- amiga 64k by Elcrew

=> 8 prods in total, with the demo compo still to come.

releases here

@z5: the Haujobb intro is a coop between Haujobb and Depth. Not Focus Design and Haujobb....

Well, that was it for this year amiga bp releases. The demo compo had 9 demos. And while it was fantastic to see Madwizards back, there was no demo from last year's top 3 (IRIS, TBL and Eph), which was surprising in a way :(

In general, it seems that the number of releases went up this year compared to last year, but the quality went down.

Good to see an increase in releases this year. I want to see the demos a second time before I comment on the quality though. The demo at the end got a lot of cheers during the demo.

Having watched a demo comp live for the first time just made me wish I'd seen some of my fav demos ever live as well. Would have been great to see Starstruck live last year.

I see Desert Dream was re-made for the C-64 and was very well received.

Looking forward to the PC comp now hopefully Chaos will have a quality release.

Now that Farbrausch PC demo was fucking insane!!!

klipper: Thank very much I used Irc like you said (first time in 5 years!). There was 400 people on there and it was quite hectic trying to keep up. Even chatted to Sire (Ex Sanity, Lego) but it was really good hearing other peoples reaction during the comp. There were a lot of people shouting Amiga through the PC demo comp.

Watching the PC demo comp was unbeleivable. Fair play to Farbrausch that was just awesome. The reaction from the crowd during the demo made it even better. Do you think there will be anywhere you can download the video of it being played at the party ?

Cool, the Farbrausch demo is actually a 177kb demo! Seems that Werkzeug is a bloody good tool....

The legendary Amiga group Andromeda made a comeback on pc aswell (last demo in 1994).

There were about 6 good demos in the pc compo imo. The fr demo was impressive visually and technically, but a bit boring imo.

Any word on what happened with IRIS? This time i was so sure that they would have an ami demo...
