#31 - Beyond the Scene: Fanedits with Bobson Dugnutt

#31 - Beyond the Scene: Fanedits with Bobson Dugnutt

Everyone loves themselves a good movie, just like a good realtime-rendered scene - and as we do with the latter, some people take their passion obscenely far in making their favourite movies the best they can be. We talk with Bobson Dugnutt about fanedits, a small scene that might seem familiar in all but its final products.

#29 - Gimmicks and Satire in Demos with jco

#29 - Gimmicks and Satire in Demos with jco

Whether it is to divert expectations, provoke, bend the rules or simply have a good time and be creative: humour, satire and gimmicks are a long-standing tradition in the demoscene.

But is there more to it than just blatant knee-slappers and cheap audience-pleasing? Does humour free oneself from too many expectations and limitations? Or is it limiting in its own ways? With the topic so close to his own heart, okkie chats with jco, who has been leaving audiences somewhere between laughing and confused about story-driven productions with characters such as Kevin and Evilbot, all while also developing impressive tool chains and technologically apt productions that don't have to hide behind the absurdity... or do they?

#28 - An hour-long string of Outtakes and a Year-Wrap - with Shana and lug00ber

It was the end of the year, so our producers joined the hosts to wind down, have some fun and reminisce about their first year as part of the team.

We give some insights and thoughts from behind the scenes, talk about our favourite episodes, parties and anything that happened in 2022 - and give some first hints what's to come for 2023.

#27 - Bonfire Special: Competitions with Kiero and Hoffman

#27 - Bonfire Special: Competitions with Kiero and Hoffman

After long summer nights, it's getting cold outside again and the demoparty calendar gets sparser. In this special, we invite two guests to discuss a topic intimately, as you might catch the conversation close to a bonfire after a good compo night:

Our two guests hardly need an introduction - Kiero (MadWizards, Elude) and H0ffman (Logicoma, Unstable Label) share their experiences, feelings and anecdotes about competitions.

Do they release for the fun of it, or to win? Do they still get compo jitters? Do they ever feel dissatisfied with a production? Is our voting system fair? Do they namevote? And how do they work towards that moment, when their prod is finally shown at the bigscreen?

#25 - The Newcomer Experience with Tobach

The Scene is Dead! Or is it? How do newcomers experience the demoscene when joining these days, and how did the pandemic and lack of physical events impact them?

We are talking to Tobach, famed for sheep and fantastic demos on exotic devices - and give Okkie a good while to talk about the release of his first demo (he did it, people!!)

#23 - For Easter is a Sceners Christmas with Steeler

#23 - For Easter is a Sceners Christmas with Steeler

25 years ago in Northern Germany, an Amiga/C64 demoparty called "Symposium" and a PC demoparty called "Mekka" decided to merge into one common demoscene event on Easter, bringing the home computer and PC demoscene under one roof - Something almost unthinkable at the time.

This was the beginning of a tradition that was eventually carried on by Breakpoint and resulted in Revision, the world's biggest pure demoparty.

Ah, the kids we were...! But wait, what about kids today? In the second half of the episode, we explore how kids perceive the digital world today, how they enter it, concepts and pitfalls of current media education, and if the demoscene can still be relevant for this generation.

So what better time of the year to invite Steeler, orga of Mekka & Symposium as well as a media education advisor these days, looking all the way from the 1980s and compare it to the next generation's approach to creativity and tinkering.

Lean back and get ready for a MASSIVE episode!

#18 Themed music compos, IQ talks Shadertoy

We kick off this month with an audience question: Are themed music compos a net positive or net negative? Is there a loss of interest in music compos in general? After that, a discussion about demos using stock assets and commercial engines - is it worth it? Should it be shunned upon? Finally, the legend himself, IQ joins us to tell us the story and beginnings of Shadertoy, how he views the growth of the site and what makes it special, and retells some parts of his stellar career, how his beginnings in the scene allowed him to have it, and his views on the direction of the scene.

#17 Running the gamut - with Ferris

#17 Running the gamut - with Ferris

The versatility of the scene can be overwhelming, but also a sprawling playground for those who want to experience more and more of the possibilities of it all, and none has done more sweeping work across many areas than Ferris, who joins us to talk about his beginnings, his motivation to oscillate between oldschool and newschool platforms, his struggle to give up artistic control, and his desire to look for the next challenge.

#12 Parties, websites, Noby discusses demo direction

The curve of vaccinations slowly gives us hope of crawling back to regular party season as we look at yet another wave of online parties, and a few potentially IRL ones as well; we also discuss the aging out of demoscene websites, some cool new projects and why it’s so hard to find people to help with such projects. Then, Noby joins the show to talk about what direction means in the demoscene, what principles one should follow, and why it matters in a demo.

#11 Revision, Revision, Revi[This channel was banned]

The event we’ve been waiting for for a whole year is now behind us, so it’s time to dissect it: The show takes aim at Revision 2021 Online, discusses the competitions, the highlights, the events, how it felt to be once again stuck at home for Easter - and of course, a debate about the notorious Twitch ban, whether it was justified, how it affected the event, and what can be done to avoid it in the future.
