I have just released a Falcon030-version of the well known platform game l'Abbaye des Morts ("The Abbey of the Dead").
More information: https://atari.joska.no/abbayedesmorts/
Original soundtrack by Skuggemannen/Dry Bone Records. Hook your Falcon up to a decent stereo when playing this game.
Gameplay is slightly extended compared to the original version. You will be given some subtle and some not so subtle hints while playing, so pay attention. If you don't you will not be able to complete this game.

We are proud to present "Atari Fan", a brand new printed magazine dedicated to all ATARI computers and consoles. Previously only available in the Polish language, this is the first issue that we are making available to a wider English-speaking audience.
All information about the magazine itself and its history you can read directly on our website www.atarifan.xyz, where you will also find a detailed list of articles available in this first English edition. We hope that it will whet your appetite for the kinds of articles that we will be bringing to you going forward.
Unique to this magazine is the fact that most text comes with additional information available in the form of QR codes, which will redirect to our website, where you can find materials assigned to the articles.
And yes, it's fuji all the way down! The magazine is laid out entirely on Atari computers – an Atari Falcon 030 with a CT63 accelerator card and CTPCI, with support from a rare computer designed specifically for DTP applications, the Hades 060. The whole magazine is composed using the legendary Calamus SLC 2015 "Complete Edition".
Get hyped in the meantime by enjoying this what is perhaps a first for any magazine, an invitation to its release running on a classic Atari 8-bit computer. This was created by the LAMERS group, and presented at the recent "Function" demoscene event in Hungary:

I released a new Atari based chiptune album. This is a bit different to normal since I used other electronic instruments synced to maxYMiser and made a sort of Atari techno.
Also I included some mixes of my normal pure YM stuff as bonus tracks.
Hopefully some will enjoy!

A few days past Sommarhack, it's time to sum up the good, the bad and the ugly.
First of of all, I'd like to send a HUGE thanks to Daniel & Anders in New Beat and ET/DHS who showed up to help running the stream, without you it wouldn't have gone nearly as good, THANK YOU GUYS! <3
Secondly, mega thanks to Crazy Q/DHS and Damo/Reservoir Gods for their programming. We've got a lot of feedback on this and it was very appreciated. We couldn't have asked for better content. Crazy Q not only produced the concert, but also the background music and jingles for the entire stream. Love you guys!
Thirdly, thanks a lot to everyone who supported the party with entries to the competitions - you showed that we can break the monotony of Covid-19 isolation and do something productive. You all rock!
Atari Scene Quiz.. I had been working on this for quite a bit, trying to find questions that were not easy to Google (eg, not "who coded demo x"). By testing the quiz a few times, my understanding was that 10 minutes was way too much Google-time, so I shortened it to six minutes. In retrospect, that was a mistake, a lot of people had a hard time finishing. If we ever do this again, we'll test it on real subjects and be more generous with time.
During the stream we had some technical issues. I'm sure most noticed the big one just when the demos were about to start. Oh boy, great timing. Simply put, the stream froze and we couldn't tell where in the chain the error came from. Video splitters, video switches, video converters, video digitizers or video broadcasting software - everything looked to work OK individually. In the end it was neither of these. It was the €%/&€(/ PC acting up, the damn thing wouldn't even start up after a reboot. After some brainmelt and a cooler headed ET we managed to get it back up and finally the stream would resume. A 20 minute extra piss-pause.
When it was time to collect the votes, we had a few mails stating that e-mails with voting URL hadn't been sent to everyone. After investigating; we had sent the mail, but forgot to add the BCC-mail list. Huge apologies to those who sent in entries but weren't able to vote. That's a big screw-up from my side.
But in the end, the positive parts stand out. Great support in the compos and Atari creativity was flooding. We've learned a lot, and in case we need to exchange a live party for stream again (let's hope not) we know better how to prepare.
Check out the links below for all releases, both binary and video.

This years Gerp demo party in Skövde, Sweden took place over the weekend. Apart from the usual suspects we saw newcomer group Bitbendaz release their first Atari production in cooperation with Rift.
Rift doubled up by also releasing a music demo for Atari STe machines consisting of many 'chip modules'. All those strange effect commands and short sample loops required re-programming of the Lance Protracker player.
Finally the third and last Atari release at Gerp was an invitation intro for Sommarhack 2020 made by SMFX, New Beat and DHS, running on Falcon 030.
