Atari demoscene news
This came as a bit of a surprise. Dune just released a new Falcon invitation for the forthcoming Silly Venture 2014 party.
With Mic doing the graphics, things are unlikely to go wrong. And no change this time around, great pixels all around together with code by Thadoss and a streaming soundtrack by Dma-Sc.
July 25, 2014 UPDATE
Thadoss released a new version of the intro. It now features the correct soundtrack as well as smoother scrollings and fading. It will also work on 060 machines.

Just a quickie to inform you all that all the Sommarhack 2014 contributions are now online.
- Six songs (where three are ACE Tracker)
- Four pictures
- Four demos/intros
All of the entries have recordings so everyone can enjoy.
We'd like to thank everyone who visited this years Sommarhack. We had people coming from six different countries with only 25 participants total, you guys rock! Weather could have been better. Actually A LOT better. But rain and cold = more Atari, so we shouldn't complain :) See you again next year!

So as you know, Outline 2014 have been going over the weekend.
As usual we try to collect the Atari releases made at the compos and around.
First up we have something rather huge. Remember back in the early 90's after the Oh Crikey demo was released, many thought the main menu would be awesome as a game. Years passed by and all those ideas faded away. Until now. It would seem that The Lost Boys actually were working on a game using that very code base.
GGN, Grazey and the guys have managed resurrected what was made of the game and put it together for release. There is also a level editor included. The actual game play still needs some work, and with some luck we might see updated/fixed versions later on. But for now, check what could have been back in the day.
Other than that, DHS released a small invitation intro for Sommarhack 2014 and there are a bunch of images and ziks as well.
As per usual, we will host a download page and update it when new files arrive.

Outline is back once again! We're going were no Atari party has gone before, and that is beyond 10 consecutive yearly events. The party once again takes place at the premises of Kampeerboerderij W'tjewel in lovely Eersel, Holland. We'll have compos running on real hardware, just like last year, plenty of Atari related acts and hopefully some cool entries in the compos like in the previous decade that we served the Atari demoscene. In addition to that, the weather will be awesome because it's almost June when the party takes place, which is a virtual guarantee for a ton of fun outside the hall and on the football field. The food ticket we introduced last year is back due to popular demand, so if you like good food for a decent price, make sure to buy it along with your entry ticket. Is there any reason not to go? We can't think of it for sure, and hopefully you'll agree so we can say: "See you in Eersel, May 29th to June 1st" !
More info, registration and ticket purchase information can be found at http://www.outlinedemoparty.nl/
Keep an eye on the site, we only just released it and it will be expanded quite a bit in the oncoming days/weeks (public visitor list is a top priority so don't worry, we will show you who else is going- soon!).
