* great musical acts and DJs
* cozy bar and athmosphere
* big outdoor area with possibility to camp
* retro-gaming tournament
* seminars and workshops (TBA)
* separate sleeping area

Additionally we plan some surprises for our 5th birthday, which will be announced over time.
So mark the date, plan your releases and check out our amiigaa invitation by The Electronic Knights. (which was part of the checkerboard challenge at Gerp)

Can't wait!

...and we have another invitation: Check out "Come to Deadline" by Rabenauge. Thanks guys!

In other news: Until the new website is ready, feel free to contact us at contact@demoparty.berlin at any time with your questions, or check out last years website, as most of the information there will still be valid this year!

I can't wait to see you all! :)

I'll be coming along with Havoc. Looks cool.

Check out this amazing Deadline ASCII done by sk!n/dezign. Thanks mate!
Looking forward to the ASCII/ANSI/PETSCII compo! :)

Hey Guys!
We have some UPDATES on Competition Rules and NEW COMPETITIONS to announce:

New Compo: 256 BYTE INTRO:

• Entries must be one-file, and that file must be 256 bytes or less.
  
• Entries will be shown for approx. 1 minute.
  
• DOS entries are run in DOSBox 0.74 or DOSBox-X (recent Git version). If you need special settings, tell us in the release notes or provide a dosbox.conf file with your release.
  
• Additionally, any oldschool platform is accepted (=basically 8bit/16 bit machines, see website for details)
  

Show us what you can cram into these bytes! :)

----------------------------------------------------------------

New Compo: THREE-DEE COMPO (RED / CYAN GLASSES)
This year, Deadline will enter the third dimension! Put on your glasses and follow us in three-dee hyperspace!
Allowed formats:

• Everything that outputs a red/cyan picture e.g. graphics / (GIF) animations / executables (newschool and oldschool)
  
• Red/cyan glasses will be provided for free at the party
  
• If you need one in advance, please send us your address and we’ll try to send you one via mail
  

----------------------------------------------------------------

Updates: SID COMPO will become OLDSCHOOL MUSIC:
More platforms are allowed:

• SID (new / old)
  
• Atari ST SNDH
  
• AHX+HVL
  
• AdLib/OPL3 (RAD2/ADT2)
  

So dust off your old gear and get tracking! :)

----------------------------------------------------------------

speaking of TRACKED MUSIC - we opened up that one as well a bit:

• Entry must be in any format supported by OpenMPT (MOD, XM, S3M, IT and many others).
  
• We will play back entries using the latest xmp-openmpt plugin for XMPlay.
  

..and while speaking about compos:

• Find all rules on the website (PC compo machine info will get updated still)
  
• Remote entries are welcome in all compos - the deadline for them is Oct 4th 2018, 13:00 (CET) - but it's not the same as being there ;)
  

Btw. the ordered glasses are supposed to be cyan on the right side and red on the left side - because apparently this is not standardized.

It usually is, though.
The problem tends to be that when you give people foldable cardboard glasses they put them on the wrong way around. :)

Here's a little goodie for all Deadline Visitors: Show your wristband at the entrance of the Computerspielemuseum on Saturday or Sunday and get in for 5€ instead of 9€! Thank you guys! <3 It's really worth a visit and they have a little demoscene section there as well. Sounds like the perfect place to head to after the prize giving ceremony, right?

what about AY music?

256b compo in Germany hyped!

AY music is also welcome but we don't have any hardware for that so we'd either use ay_emul or my unreleased pt3 player on ATARI ST (which translates the 1.77Mhz Spectrum frequency to the Ataris 2Mhz) if its PT3.
Personally I'm thinking ay_emul

This year the official Dynablaster world cup won't be at Deadline as in the last years. But we still will have a Retro Games Tournament and we will let YOU decide which game to play:


Use this form to cast your vote until the 15th of September.

@insane

I can bring ZX+2 with DivIDE (SD card) if that helps.

I'll submit a wild entry.

Flights booked !
