Evoke 2010

So, over the weekend, I went to Evoke. Evoke, for those who don’t know, is a Demoparty, a sort of gathering for people who write Demos to get together, show off their newest works in the competitions, talk, and potentially get mightily drunk.

We didn’t actually plan to release anything at the party, but after arriving after a 4ish-hour-drive (Drove there with Maep and Saga_Musix, took a few wrong turns… <.<) I suddenly felt like coding something up for the DS. WAHa_06x36 and coda were availble to assist with additional effects, graphics work and music, so in 16 hours of intense partycoding, during the course of which I downed half a crate of club mate and nearly threw up my breakfast, we’re able to give you:

Our release was generally well-redieved, and finished second in the “Alternative Plattform” compo. We even got Prizemoney this time around, which was a little unexpected.

One of my favourite demos of the whole party was this 64k intro (It’s 64k, despite what it says in the video). Beautiful use of… cubes! It won, too! <3

Something I sadly only found after the party was over is the full version of this years party jingle, mmsx#001 - dq feat. scraping micha - this year. Absolutely lovely.

In conclusion, Evoke 2010 was an awesome party, massive thanks to the organizers - especially to the beamteam for the recording, you’re awesome - and to brainstorm for free sausages and alcatraz for free beer. o/

The next demoparty for me will probably be the 2010 edition of the ultimate meeting, right here in Karlsruhe, or maybe a party up in finnland! See you there!
