About 20 years ago, a demoparty organiser found a little plush cow in a bargain bin in Zermatt. It soon became adopted by its foster family, the Buenzli and later Demodays organisers.
Then it got quiet, without a demoparty in Switzerland the little cow retired from mascot fame...

...until she returned with old and new friends 2 years ago, to go on a Christmas adventure!

And now she is back - MountainBytes and an even bigger lot of amazing voice talents are bringing you a new Cowee Christmas Adventure, in 24 parts!

Day 1 - Finally reunited

Re-welcoming first Bombe as The Narrator

(Yes, as people watched it with their kids last time, it's a child-appropriate... cosmic-horror demoscene fanfic. Child-appropriate, really. Bear with us.)

yay!

Sweet!

Day 2, "The Season of Love? Do you mean Easter?", with alkama joining in as The Musician!

Happy 3rd of December!
Today, ps and blossom are joining the merry band as The Graphics Artist and The Coder in "Fighting's The Season's Business":

Today at Day 4, Cowee decides that she rather wants to make a demo than fighting. But can she do it all by herself?

She decides the joy is in making things, even if it doesn't live up to The-Meteoriks-greatness:

And now at the 5th of November, Cowee has "An Unexpected Guest" - can you already recognise it?

OMG is this a Sputnik satellite ?! But HOW ? WHEN ? WHY ?! The suspens is over 9000 ! :)

Happy St Nicholas day!
Of course it's Scenesat's Sputnik - one's gotta wonder about that computer and what its able to spit out... Here is "I recognise this ball!":
https://youtu.be/2Oy9tYj9QG0

Also, as they tend to not promote it and falala'n'all, did you know Scenesat has a Patreon page to keep them up and running?

And whom else could tell "Sputnik's Story" better than the one and only Ziphoid! \o/

https://youtu.be/_P4hAg9QpO0

Something weird happened to Sputnik's own scene. It tells us more in "The Fate of the SID-Tune Scene":
https://youtu.be/L71hUIQiM04

It seems there were more dimensions plagued by the menace that prompted Sputnik to visit our plane of existence. Here comes "The Fate of the Sizecoders"!
https://youtu.be/Wgl5OrlFTsA

And all of this is caused by "A Creature that Boggles the Mind":

https://youtu.be/ztgwEhnt3LQ

(Fair warning to those watching with their kids: have a look first if they can stomach a campy monster shadow, although we "audience tested" it a little and hope it's gonna be alright :) )

Could the group's fighting be caused by the imminent thread to the demoscene in Cowee's adventure? Could the different arts working together be the key?
https://youtu.be/4UwD-IQWm5Q

Cowee's group is shocked about the news, but not ready to give up. But whom can they turn to for help? Time to get out the old datasette from her last adventure... in "We Must Find a Way":

https://youtu.be/YevCkr_A0mo

And we are already at Day 13, can you believe it!

It seems the old magic still works - and Cowee returns to yet another dimension to gather help. From someone wearing... a towel? Here is "It worked, I'm back":

https://youtu.be/PLPktXbzXcA

He is back! The one-and-only Sir Garbagetruck makes a return as Santa Claus in "Santa Is Concerned":
https://youtu.be/briGSJ7UYVc

...and is that him getting in such a festive spirit that he shouts out all the great admins and "elves" in the background of all our platforms?

On that note - Merry Christmas, dear Pouet-admins, and thanks for all the work you do! <3

https://youtu.be/t2XLIOUB9rw

Can the scene endure? Why wouldn't it, if its members still invested countless hours into making great demos, when they couldn't even watch it with their friends on a bigscreen?

Here is "The Scene will endure, no matter the foe":

(Caution, contains cowee-fied Nuance-stags. Thanks for giving cloven hooved animals the decorum they deserve! <3 )

Good morning and 4th Advent Sunday!
After all the lists of nice sceners, keep in mind that he knows whether you've been naughty or nice!
https://youtu.be/DYojui8oSoU

It's time to get "Back Home" after talking to Santatruck - but the group has dire news for Cowee:
https://youtu.be/tD8ZAczMJ8w

It's finally "Time for Presents" in our story - with a handcrafted loveliness for the ZX Spectrum! Thank you so, so much gasman!
https://youtu.be/ZrqlFVrgno8

For this next president's recipe, you need one full lug00ber, powdered sugar in equal parts, some jolly Christmas lights and then stir everything well - the next gift our friends open is truly "A lovely Tune":

https://youtu.be/WIxi9Ec8ToY

Thank you very much, lug00ber!

One more present - and what an incredible bauble it is: aldroid lets Sputnik track through the snow in a mere 2.822 bytes.

From bringing life into old devices, composing music to using code for visual glee - will this versatility be enough to face and overcome The Deadline...?

Nice effort.
