As for cracktros, probably not. I should spelunk through backups. However, the most technical and competitive people generally transitioned to the demoscene in the early 2000s and that scene is far more open. You can…
He's still alive and well! While he's not super active and let his website(s) die, you can follow him on Facebook where he generally seems the most active these days:…
I'm so happy every time I see the demoscene on HN's front page. Hi pandur!
Same here. I came in on the back end of having to write your own engine from scratch (not just 3D, but general graphics.) MOV AX, 13h; INT 10h will forever be burned into my memory. The transition was definitely odd.…
Huge shoutout to Digitale Kultur e.V. for that -- that club was founded by the folks that organize the Evoke demoparty!
If you'd like to know where the demoscene came from, look no further than The BBS Documentary[1] The whole thing started w/ cracktros in the 80s and through the artscene it eventually evolved into its own scene that was…
Steal everyone's samples! I recall my brother thinking they'd hate him for doing it, or he'd be a lamer.. it didn't matter, and eventually others used his samples and his techniques. The scene these days is much more…
Gave my baby brother FastTracker when he was 13 I believe, not only did he become one of the best chip musicians ever, it effectively shaped his entire life toward pursuing music in some form or another. After this…
I remember trying to replicate a sine scroller at age 9, not having the slightest clue what a sine wave is, I just let sprites go up and down linearly on a C64 and couldn't for the life of me figure out a way to make…
Vive la france, shoutout to TiTAN :) And yes. Demoscene specifically only has tiny pockets in the US.
Check out ryg's blog about it[1]. To nobody's surprise, other than tweeting things my puny brain can't decypher, I believe he works on Unreal Engine these days. 1.…
Not just crytek! Yager also had founding demosceners I believe? There's more in Germany for sure. 3DMark the benchmark by Futuremark is as the name suggests, made by ex Future Crew. The list goes on. If you go around…
I suspect you're aware, but leaving this for the hackernews crowd that might not be: Shadertoy was in fact made by sceners for sceners. Inigo Quilez is iq/Rgba[1] who released it as a tool for the scene to use[2] back…
The only reason I'm a software engineer today, is the scene. And I'm sure that's not just the both of us :)
I saw the headline and was hoping it'd mention psenough who has been my only lifeline in the last decade to keep up with what's going on in the scene, and I'm sure I have that in common with a lot of old sceners. Highly…
> the demoscene devolved into a "L'art pour l'art" It didn't, though. It just took the scene a while to adapt to the reality that you can't learn how to push a GPU over the edge in a weekend any longer. As a result,…

D'oh!
No.
It's not about the teams - it's about the people that handle the teams.
I'm sorry.
I'm also interested in this, but I'd be more interested in how you can live at a tropical beach on $10k/y.
