You might have heard of the Amstrad Expo party… after 10 years they did a reboot and changed the name to “ReSeT #0”. It is still organised by Eliot / Benediction and will take place in Coutances / France from 24th to 26th of June 2011. It is the biggest Amstrad CPC scene related event, so be sure that you won’t miss it. There are now also some new features like a big screen, competitions and an other platform corner. Competitions will be held in the classic categories Demo, 4K intro, Graphics and Music. If you can’t attend to the meeting, you can submit your production on the ReSeT #0 homepage.
The Revision demoscene party took place in Saarbrücken / Germany during easter 2011. On 26th April, a report about the Revision was aired in the TV programme “Aktueller Bericht” of the SR (Saarländischer Rundfunk). The best about the report is, that the Amstrad was mentioned first and you will see scenes of the Batman Forever demo. Btw, the two guys in front of their CPCs are Eliot and Hicks…
Here is the video:
[UPDATE:] You can also find the video in the SR Mediathek (choose “Treffen der Demoszene” in the menu of the player).
