Assemblies 2013

    The legendary computer festival Assembly 2013 was held this weekend in Finland . During the 76-hour online broadcast of AssemblyTV, we could watch one of the largest computer festivals in the world, which is attended by more than 5,000 participants every year, as well as more than 200 volunteers working on its organization.

    Assemble is an event for gamers, demosceners and anyone interested in digital culture.

    Broadcast is open to the entire Internet. With it, we can lively monitor events in Hartwall Areena, virtually attend interesting seminars, watch contests for the best demo and intro, watch graphic and music competitions, participate in discussion of demos in AssemblyTV studio with famous demo stage personalities, watch interviews with sponsors and live concerts.

    The main event of the Assembly is traditionally contests with a demonstration of visual and audio effects that are performed / calculated / reproduced by specially written programs in realtime.

    I am glad to present you a few demos from this year's nominees:

    also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the works from the categories: Gamedev | Short film | Real wild demo | Oldskool demo
    From my point of view, “Short film” and “Real wild” compo this year, really delivered.

    And Dekadenceas usual presented a good demo under Amigu. Although, I must say that this was the only normal demo in the Oldskool demo category and this, in general, is sad.

    Be sure to download the video (or the demo itself) from the assembly site and look at the large monitor. The flash player, even in 720p mode, unfortunately does not transmit the clarity of the demos that actually exists.

    By the way, who has already been to Assembly and remembers that atmosphere, I highly recommend playing KAAL - assembly demo-party simulator . Simulator of the trip to the demo party :)

    The next important event of the demoscene is Chaos Constuction in St. Petersburg on August 10-11.

    Do not miss :)
