category: parties [glöplog]
Hoping to make this again, if finances etc allow :) Altparty is very cool :)
Promised to be part of compoteam :)
nice to see Altparty is back :)
greetings to Setok
greetings to Setok
same days as TRSAC, so maybe we should set up a mutual-greeting-thing during the party, or show each others prods :)?
nic0, i think something like that would be a great idea, i'll talk about it to other organizers
Is this going to be a real Altparty with demos and all, or some knitting and soldering event? Not that I wouldn't like soldering.
real Altparty with demos and all.
(probably some soldering will occur too)
but no knitting?!? i will go to TRSAC Then :)
nice :)
bittin, i thought u were going to usa?
nah the person i got a crush on there i think do not want me :(, so its not worth it
additional location: Happi, a youth center on the opposite site of the road will have some seminars & workshops during altparty, aiming for younger audience and the entrance will be free.
new website will be launched in a few days
btw. there are special priviledges at the party place for those who enter productions to compos
We'd better get preparing something, in that case :)
Looking forward to another Alternative Party and seeing everyone again. Better keep the sauna available too :)

sauna is a special priviledge
My first alt party was the 2nd (with pool, [Amiga!] and stuff). After that I went for a few, but it's been awhile. This year looks much more like we're coming.

:-DMy first alt party was the 2nd...
Oh yes, cool to see it coming but it is coming one bit too fast!
Hope to have the dynamic demo compo there once again and finally some serious competitors there too. Also a strong hope is to manage to squeeze finally a good dynamic demo there too from our side...

compos will be announced shortly.
dynamic demo compo as a category has been struggling quite much lately with the lack of serious productions for it...

Alternative Party 2013 compos
Theme: Hospital
< Realtime >
Alternative combined
The compo PC is a Windows 7 64-bit & Linux WUBI running modern high-end PC, with a NVIDIA GPU. A low-end Linux netbook running ChromeOS and Ubuntu 64-bit is also available (Acer Chromebook C7). All Linux entries must work with 10 minutes of tinkering or from a USB bootable distro. All and any other hardware IS allowed, provided you bring your own! (composite/component video/vga/hdmi output). Size limit is 512MB. But we'll still disqualify pure video players! (Wild compo is for those). As usual, we'd like to see demos that defy demoscene norms, that dare to experiment and push the envelope of digital art
64k Intro
64k size limit. Platforms as in the alternative combined compo
64k Cracktro
Like the intro compo, but the theme is "cracktro"
Especially we'd like to see REAL cracktros for actual cracked software
Please note that distributing pirated software is against the law in Finland
Beginner demo
50% of the group has to be in a new role, i.e. graphician doing music, musician coding FOR THE FIRST TIME
Or for true beginners with no previous demoscene productions
Same rules as alternative combined
All groups can give a short few minute presentation before their entry is shown, introducing the group to the audience
