Being of Irish descent, we took yesterday off and headed down to Corktown to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Consequently, we're giving you two demos today, but we're spacing them out temporally ( Read more... ) -

Since part of the reason we're even doing this at all is to reach out and teach people about the demoscene, today's demo is for you to take with you and show to other people (yes, do it now right after you've seen it!) Put this one into fullscreen mode on your computer, crank the volume on the speakers and hold on to your sensorium for dear life ( Read more... ) -

Today's demo is short, sweet, and a bit different from what we've been posting here in the recent past. We like to mix it up on the Daily Demoscene. At Notacon 4, Trixter from the demo group Hornet demonstrated full-motion video on the original hardware configuration of the IBM PC (though it was in color, so he had installed either an EGA or VGA ( Read more... ) -

Guess I'm not really out of the minimalism woods yet. Here's the Northern Dragons "Binary Alchemy" which took fifth place at NVScene 2008. In addition to the minimal, high contrast black and white style of this demo, I really like how literate it is. references to the artwork of M. C. Escher, the tower of Babel and others abound in this demo. ( Read more... ) -

Remember how I was wondering what won first place at Breakpoint 2008. This is it, this is the gold medal from last year's Breakpoint and it is quite the visual feast. Masangin by Farbrausch and Neuro is a mostly two-dimensional psychedelic trip that Pink Floyd would probably be proud to have as a music video. I was blown away by their bold uses ( Read more... ) -

Yes, it's officially "Minimalism Day" here at the Daily Demoscene. Here's another 64k demo that accomplishes quite a lot with just a little memory: the SceneCON 2008 Invitation by the Rebels. I particularly like the music used in this demo, and also the way the Rebels handle text. Even though this demo consists of a single monochrome palette, it ( Read more... )
