Seeing stuff like this always makes me giddy. Why aren't Americans more involved in the demoscene? I always wanted to find a way into it, but never found people willing to give it a shot.


There are tons! And lots of parties as well (one coming up soon at MIT). It's almost entirely an East Coast phenomenon though.

Here's a FB page for them https://www.facebook.com/groups/NAScene/


I think it's a side-effect of things like the huge US startup scene. People are less inclined to pursue "academic" things like 64k demos, and more likely to try and launch a less technically impressive but more money-oriented startup.


This sounds really amazing but unfortunately doesn't run on my computer: Win 7 64 bit, i5-330, 8GB RAM

No error message, the program just doesn't start


I'd guess you'd need fairly beefy GPU for this. Maybe yours is lacking some features the demo uses.


I stand corrected, on my home machine it does indeed work beautifully :)


I was lucky enough to catch this at Revision. Phenomenal work, the 64k compos have been absurdly tough competition the past few years.


I absolutely love the sound track to this!
