THIS (<a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/kkrieger-chapter-1/screenshots" rel="nofollow">http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/kkrieger-chapter-1/scr...</a>) Entire game (interactive demoscene) is only 96kb. It's all procedurally generated which is what demoscene is all about. Everything you see, sound, music, textures, models, is just code. No images or audio what-so-ever. Just algorithms that generate shapes within shapes, within shapes. Like fractals almost.<p>I was devastated to find the group's website is gone and the game's page no longer on the internet. For those of you who want to experience it I've got it on my server here: <a href="http://data.chrisnorstrom.com/hosting/kkrieger-beta.zip" rel="nofollow">http://data.chrisnorstrom.com/hosting/kkrieger-beta.zip</a>. They were probably the best group out there. Looks like they closed up show because their site theprodukt is closed for good.<p>I knew a really good Demoscene coder, and he introduced the culture to me. He worked on synthetic procedurally generated voices (which is really hard). But the problem is that the bar to entry is extremely high because it's all algorithms and the culture is all about fun, not profit. So the community stays small. Why spend months making lights and patterns react to music in a 64kb file when you can make a 200mb game or animated and sell it. The means do not justify the ends, thus most people will never know the awesomeness of demoscene.

I used to be the coder of a small demoscene team in the early 2000's. I never had as much fun writing computer programs ever since then. It was creating awesome stuff just for the sake of awesomeness.

Woooooooaaaah! A demoscene link appears on HN! I'm really excited that you guys seem to be interested in this!<p>You guys should watch this movie! <a href="http://molemanfilm.com/about-moleman/about-moleman-2/" rel="nofollow">http://molemanfilm.com/about-moleman/about-moleman-2/</a><p>It's very good, and also on Youtube. It'll tell you all about the demoscene! you'll enjoy it!<p>-mkC/3LN: The clumsiest ever<p>Note: This post used to have a lot of redundancy inside of it, but that's gone now!

This was an awesome documentary, even though I am not currently writing anything for the scene I still like to watch what they do and I generally try and tune into streams of the parties. Fun times

Don't miss the BBS Documentary's Artscene episode. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ReS4Bp4IPY" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ReS4Bp4IPY</a> seems to be a copy of it.

This is a <i>great</i> collection of links. And it's extremely up-to-date - that last demo, Gaia Machina, just came out last week!

I was wondering: how recruiters perceive demoers ?, in: - start-up - big companies Should you put this activity on your resume or totally hide it ?

Good to see the Demoscene is alive and well in Europe! I haven't dabbled in the Demoscene since way before I left the continent.

Actually, demo scene could get some jobs if flash player 3d content spins well. Anything procedural is great in there.
