Hey, we are still in need of people to help us fight off the Zombies and protect our base camp here in Blaker!!! If you are planning to come and wouldn't mind getting your hands dirty, reach out to us (email, discord, PMs... what ever you prefer). We appreciate all the hands we can get (preferably alive and attached ones!). You will be paid in hugs and this year's scary organizer T-shirt!
GET YOUR TICKETS!
As you may notice when you go to buy your tickets, we have decided to adjust our prices again this year. Because it's hard to budget with ticket money that comes in last minute, we have decided to try to incentivize our visitors to buy tickets early. We're doing this by introducing an early-bird ticket!
The early bird ticket costs 500 NOK, meaning the cheapest ticket option is down from 600 NOK last year. This will hopefully be good news for those of you who are on a budget.
We've also decreased the price of the early-bird + t-shirt ticket from 850 NOK to 800 NOK. T-shirts always had to be ordered early anyway, because we order the exact amount and printing takes time. The reason we're not decreasing these as much is because we're now using a smaller, local printer this year, and they have a bit higher prices.

But be warned: If you hesitate and miss the early-bird ticket sale, the regular ticket price has been increased to 800 NOK! This effectively means that you'll get a free t-shirt if you buy your ticket early! We will announce the exact cut-off point for the early-bird tickets and t-shirts at a later date, because we're still negotiating the details with the supplier.
For those who want to support us a bit more, we still have a supporter ticket available this year as well. The supporter ticket stays at the same price of 2000 NOK, and comes with a t-shirt if ordered before the t-shirt sale cutoff.
We hope you are happy with these changes, and encourage everyone to buy their tickets early. The more certainty we have about our ticket sales, the more we can budget for, hopefully making the party better!
See you in July!

this is good.

Preparations are in full swing. The party hall and stage got a fresh coat of paint, new lights, and so much more. We can't wait to fill the hall with all of you!

So go and get your tickets and t-shirts before it's too late!


They said the infection wouldn't reach the Valley. They were wrong! 😱
We're looking for infodesk volunteers to help hold the line. Greet arrivals. Guide the lost. Pour the last of the coffee. Be the calm in the chaos.
You’ll get full access, a crew shirt, and work in shifts so you can enjoy the demoparty as well. No experience required—just a pulse! 💗
DM us to enlist. Before the gates open.

He is back for the groove! Crawling straight outta the crypt and into your eardrums... Phobium rises once again in the Black Valley Lounge! Between demos and dead air, he’ll be spinning from chillaxing to bone-chilling beats to keep your spirit wandering. Lurking in the lounge all weekend - when there’s no program, there’s Phobium!

Get your tickets now… before they vanish into the mist.

Where's the competition rules and so forth? Can't find it. Maybe im getting too old for this ***. And for the projector what resolutions are permitted?
the compos are not published yet it seems, but I dont think it will change much from last year...

Yeah, it's mostly the same. We're dropping the Fantasy Console compo this year, as we got no entries for it last year. Otherwise, there's a few tweaks to the compo machine etc.
The video chain and projector is 1080p, so if you can output 1080 that would be the best. But we'll do our best to scale content to that resolution.
