Atari demoscene news

The new version of STj was ready for release at SillyVenture, but in the end I decided to delay it since there was not time prepare and give a presentation at the party.
The main features of the new release are around hard disk support. The DJ can now select 260 tracks spread over 10 directories without a screen. If anyone is looking for an alternative to increasingly unreliable floppy disk live, this could be an option.

Phew what a week. Lots of new Atari stuff to be happy about. Here's a quick wrap-up since the last message.
Return by Hemoroids
Some of you have probably noticed that Hemoroids have started releasing javascript demos in the last few months so this return might not be a huge surprise. Anyhow it's a very decent STe 96k intro, classic Hemoroids style with some pleasant returns from older demos as well as some new stuff.
STrange roboTS by BLaBla
Wow! Cyg have developed his truecolour displayer even further. This time skipping overscan but adding what looks like higher granularity instead. Better colours, not so scary theme (them clowns scare the shit out of me) and a heavy soundtrack by 505. Cool demo.
Unreversable by MEC
An Atari XL/XE crew that goes ST for the first time. They do it in a different way than most by using text-mode graphics in med-res. At a first glance it sure strikes as very different.
FirSTro by Lamers
With a first Falcon release from Lamers earlier this fall, they are now also debuting on the ST with an intro by maciekm, wieczÛr, at0m and gepard.
Console stuff!
Some very cool things were released on Atari consoles. The VCS/2600 winner demo is probably the best one ever made for the system, likewise for Checkpoints Jaguar demo which shows much more advanced 3D than previously seen (marching cubes) on the system.
8-bits
No polish Atari event without the 8-bitters making some amazing stuff. Noice doing a comeback on the XL/XE with a great effort, graphics music, design everything top-level. But then came the Lamers to spoil the party for the swedes. A big thematic demo with great effects, graphics and music, also showcasing one of those cool Censor Designs since-scrollers on the XL.
Games
Noteworthy winner is another new Falcon game by Dune. It's called 'Racer' and yes you got it, it's a racing game with three different game modes, described by Thadoss himself: 1. a "pole position" like race 2. a "drive wrong way" race 3. a "lotus like" or "outrun like" race
So, the download section for Sillyventure is filling up nicely. We're still short of a lot of graphics, music and more notably Falcon demo releases. Hopefully they'll show up sooner or later.

Ok, so demos have begun to come in, first up we have six of them:
Second Reality 2013 by Checkpoint
This is a big big demo which faithfully reproduces the orignal PC-demo from 1993. Coding by Defjam and lsl, graphics by mOdmate, music by Dma-Sc and mOdmate and 3D-modelling by Pandur.
Elefantastic by Genesis Project
A surprise for sure. Genesis Projects first demo on Atari. It has a nice theme with good animated graphics. Code by Shadow, graphics by Mermaid, music by MCH and Mermaid.
One Trick Pony by Rave Network Overscan
A great 4k intro for the ST. Many effects, original music and even some graphics. Code and music by Britelite, graphics by Bracket.
Monogatari by Cerebral Vortex
Wow! The first big hi-res monochrome demo. Previously we've seen single screens on some mega demos, but this is something else. Code+graphics by Orion_ and Templeton, music by 505.
Fujiology by .tSCc.
The second prod from .tSCc.'s new coder Insane. This time it's a much more ambitious production with several parts that presents the forthcoming ST demo collection from Lotek Style. Coding by Insane, graphics and music by Lotek Style, graphics by Bracket and even more graphics by Ukko.
Spkr2 by Spkr
Almost a brand new coder from The Netherlands, it's Spkr's second demo and this time he's left C behind to code the entire thing in Assembler, it shows. A much improved demo since the last time. Code by Spkr and music by Tyan.
All these demos are available from the download page, most have a video recording available as well - we will complete the video recordings later for those missing.

Five-o-Five is back with a new chip music release that features unreleased material from the mid-1990's up until today.
No less than 107 (!) original and previously unreleased tunes in one demo. Using a variety of trackers the trained YM-ear will hear the familiar sounds of maxYMiser, Music Mon, Triplex, Sidsound Designer, Magic Synth and Insigina Trisound.
Played from start to finish using the Auto Play mode will leave you with over three hours of music before it repeats.

A little out of the blue, Troed of Sync released a demo menu called 'The LoSTE screens'. It consists of STe-fixes of their SNYD2 and So Watt fullscreen demos.
Apart from the fixed classics, there is a newly coded menu with the very latest state-of-the-art 3+1 scanline syncscrolling.

Silly Venture 2k13 - invitro by LAMERS for Atari XL/XE
After the 1st invitro for Atari Jaguar by CHECKPOINT, here is another one - SV2k13 invitro from polish demo team "LAMERS" for Atari XL/XE machines ! Due to
the fact that the forthcoming SV is dedicated to 20th Atari Jaguar anniversary, there's quite a lot of Jag accents in this release.
There's more surprises coming, probably also this month.
Enjoy & STay tuned !

Four days of summer in the heart of Sweden has passed by in front of the Ataris, for the fifth year in a row.
We've had a great time and met some old friends as well as a few new ones. The usual never-ending barbecues, sunny weather, the occasional rain and stress to run the demo compo in time.
This year we got five demos/intro, eight pictures and four music contributions. A fifth music was prepared but we were unable to retrieve it in time, sadly as it was a quite unique Atari Lynx music entry. In any case the music is available now post-compo. Another different entry was a 4k procedural graphics from Cyg/BLaBla. The party version was buggy and didn't work, so in the end a finished rendered version of the picture was shown in the graphics compo rather than demo/intro compo. You can download both party-version and final version of the procedural graphics.
Thanks to everyone that visited or supported our compos!

13 years later, ST-NICCC demo is improved :)
Main change:
- The music is no more STE specific. STF owners have music now! It use HexTracker replay routine by Paulo Simoes on STF, and still use Lance player for STE.
Minor changes:
- STE module replay fix (end of the music)
- Polygon filler optimized a bit (on STe)
- 3d dots intro part minor graphic bug fixed
- Added a nice OXYGENE logo before credits part
Hint: On STE hardware, press F10 during boot to force the STF version if you want.
