Hy FolkZ,
One of those weird questions from an old man. The Releases may it a demo or a game. Is it necessary to deliver it as VIDEO and if it´s necessary, which Format MP4 is suitable ?
please let us know so we can prepare something without any hurry.
thanks in advance

Oldschool entries recording:
If you're preparing an oldschool entry, you might want to know that we can record entries from real hardware on the following oldschool systems:
* Commodore 64, 128 (incl. VDC), Plus/4. VIC-20 (also memory expanded)
* Amiga OCS/ECS, Amiga AGA/060
* Atari ST (1MB) and STE (4MB)
* Amstrad CPC (6128, CRTC-1)
* MS-DOS PC (Pentium 1-class)
If your entry runs on any of the platforms above, you don't need to provide a recording with your entry, we can take care of it. You still can, if you want, it's just not mandatory. But if your oldschool entry is NOT running on any of the platforms above, and you CANNOT provide a recording yourself, we can probably still help, but please reach out, so we can work something out.
Amstrad CPC note: this system is notorious for abusing the video signal, which makes it somewhat challenging to record. Please provide a test version of your entry as soon as possible so we can test if it works as expected with the recording chain.

first draft of timetable here, also compopc-specs at the bottom of the rules page (tl;dr: revison compopc)
This being the year of wicked ideas, we really are hoping to see you "play the game" and connect to other sceners to surprise us with unconventional compos - remember that we call it a compo if only FOUR participants manage to have a common *thing* going!
However, we also can’t wait for the classics, so bring your size coding skills, dig out your favorite oldschool plattform, make a music video or bring on your 3D graphics (as seen at revision) - this is the year where everything goes!
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SIGN TO GET SOMETHING DONE (but haven’t really had the drive to dive into it because there was no deadline) CONSIDER THIS THE SIGN - You can do it and we sure are not going to stop you!
And now to the scary part:
YOU HAVE TWO WEEKS TO GET IT DONE, so let's go!

planning is guessing...release upload will appear in the following days, pinky-promise!
wasted lifetime
feeling sad about nevoke being 1 single day?
well, you're in luck. here comes a wild pre party event, actually 2 nights worth of a pre party event:

If there is one benefit of not having a physical party, then it's the ability to reach out and connect to fantastic artists on the other side of the world 😌
With this in mind, we took a leap of faith and went out to ask someone we had in mind from the very beginning. So today we are SO HAPPY to finally announce this year's music act...
✨ Get ready to dance, drink and be merry to the fantastic chibi-tech, everyone! ✨
Preemptively honing her craft in the late-80s with an Amiga, a copy of D.O.C. SoundTracker, and various swapdisks filled with european prods that her dad took home... chibi-tech slowly but surely turned into a swift & versatile trackmaking maestro in that fresh scener flair despite the hurdles of a nearly non-existent demoscene in America. She especially honed her skills in chiptunes, which she was able to turn into a legitimate full-time career. Now living in Tokyo Japan, she is involved in the more technical aspects of gamedev ー with her audio works featured in both modern console games... and even built-in within console hardware itself.
And yet, chibi-tech still finds the time to napalm the dancefloor with her preferred weapons of choice: two NES consoles hooked onto a mixer. She's eager to set your aural senses ablaze with even the most rudimentary of sound generation arsenal.

* WE F*CKED UP, SO YOU GET ONE MORE DAY *
Since we kinda messed up the deadline announcements (after all, it's been a two years where time seemed to not behave like usual anyway) we're now changing all deadlines to TUESDAY, 10. AUGUST, 0:00
What a time to be alive! Now get back to work - we believe that YOU can do it!

Do you like it when people vote for your entry? And you even have a video recording device in your pocket? Fantastic!
We miss seeing your faces, hearing your voices and want to give you a chance to spread the hype, or simply greet the people of névoke and make us smile (or laugh, even).
For that, we would like you to send us a short and sweet "VOTE FOR ME" videoclip that we will then play in a block after the compos. No need to put on a high end video production - just make sure that it meets the following requirements:
LENGTH: between 10 and 15 seconds
FORMAT: .mp4 or .mov would be awesome!
CONTENT: we won't play your clip if we feel like it's offensive (the usual small print, you know the rules)
WHERE TO UPLOAD: We have enabled a "Vote for me - Videos" pseudocompo in the party system, so head to https://party.nevoke.eu/, log in with your SceneID and upload it there!
Important: We'll show ONLY ONE VIDEO PER CONTESTANT (not per entry), so don't go overboard
We are looking forward to your submissions - and bringing the people of névoke closer together, if only on our screens 💜
