Okay, now what?

If you would like to watch (or listen) to any of the entries above and have no idea where to go next, here are some useful pointers:

  • Entries will be uploaded to the Scene.org Archive, where they can be downloaded freely by anyone who is interested.
  • If you'd like to have additional context and community feedback, two established demoscene website to check out are:
    1. Demozoo.org has results up already and tends to be very thorough in linking to releases and additional information.

    2. Pouet.net has a less complete set of releases, but offers lively (and unfiltered) commentary for the entries they do cover.
