Less than three months for breakpoint06
So there is little time to breakpoint06 and there's lots of expectations around it. Will it be the party which reactivates the scene definitely? Or is it really dead?
At least there are lots of people coming this year. Most of the spanish expedition which made it to breakpoint05 is said to repeat, along with new people like ayame or madgoblin (although I am not really sure if that is a good idea… anyway). SuperVIP's which didn't appear in parties some time ago, like Statix/Bluespoon, are going there too.
Also I have been asking famous people and all of them are preparing their productions for breakpoint. Some of them are working on it since tUM05!
I will try and release something there as I said in my 2006 to do list. I have been thinking and meditating about that issue and I believe I have some good ideas. It can be a good opportunity to test the system that trace and me designed and built, and see if it answers the Great Question: is it useful and productive or not? Unfortunately I'll have to create a pc version for showing in the bigscreen, as they are not accepting mac entries anymore, but I'll provide a Mac Os X version, most probably an universal binary so people with the new intel powered machines will be able to see the demo as well. And if not, go and buy a G4!

sole, you can enter powerpc entries at the "real wild" compo and they will be well accepted since they won't be mixed with lame-ass trip-to-the-party joke-videos

that's right… i hadn't thought of it… the only thing that worries me is that I'll have to bring my computer for it!
or maybe i can talk with the orgos before and check they have a mac machine. let's see…

that's nonsense, If you're releasing a demo, It must compete with the other demos.
Or are you too fan of Apple that you don't mind about not compiting in the demos category?

twisted by polka brothers was released at the wild compo for the party 4 due to using "strange" hardware (more memory than allowed at the main democompo), and yet reached 2nd place even when competing against all sort of funky stuff:

but i concur in seeing osx and windows compos as mostly the same "accelerated demo competition", if everyone if using the OS as just a way to get into a nvidia or ati graphics card which are the same everywhere anyways…

well, i don't have any problem with compiling a windows version. All the code it's opengl and fmod based and i'm usign glfw for opening the window and so on… i mean, i don't care, but it's a pity not having a mac compo… even if it was just for the sake of kicking a supermegademo in the face of spontz's members, MWHAHAHA!
The main point is, I don't care about a possible prize; I know i would have more possibilities if I enter this on the wild compo (as there are less entries), but I don't think it's the right place; it is a demo and it should compete in the demo compo.
Well more exactly, it will be a demo XD
