Welcome to the demo of the year 2014 competition After last year's impressive revival of the demo of the year idea, nicely organized and well packed by axis and yazoo, we wanted to take over the orga for the 2014 competition.



After some months of delay we are more than happy to finally declare the demo of the year competition for 2014 officially open!



Yes we are a little late, but now after the amazing demoshowdown at the x-party there still might be some room for a decent end of the year competition. So take a chance and be part of it.



Code, pixel and compose the hell out of our beloved machine and delight us with your creativity. Give us all your Acid pills, Dots, Tech-Techs, Golcs and Plasmas.



This time we agreed on going back to the roots by keeping the parts as secret as possible to not spoil the impact of the final result and to have some surprise element on the audience.That might sound a little bit old fashioned in the modern age, but hey we are old fashioned, aren't we?
