The Last Party first occurred in 1997, and many followed it throughout the years. Thanks to Keystone's support and some changes in my life, I could finally attend it this year. Like at Silly Venture, I met many new people I had not met before, and we had great chats. I returned with lots of inspiration, new ideas, and solutions to problems I had before. The complete party details and more pictures are in the Last Party 2024 article.

The Silly Venture 2k23 Winter Edition is over, and it was again a personal highlight of the year for me. I've met many new people I had not met before, and we had a great chat. Also - thanks to the support from Keystone - I didn't come empty-handed. Our intro and our demo both ranked 2nd in the compos. It really cannot get much better than that. You can find the full party details and more pictures in the Silly Venture 2k23 WE article.

After 23 years (!!!) of development, a physical release of the Atari 8-bit Scorch game is finally available. Tigerduck bought it, and it has a great box and artwork and looks excellent on real hardware.
And the best thing for me is that my quote made it to the cover and is listed in a row with "ChatGPT 3.5" and "Bard from Google AI". This is so great - thanks for this real honor Pirx!
If you don't know the game at all, then here's a video about the "Father unknown of all games".

I've put together a slideshow of photos taken at Revision 2013, where I had the pleasure of meeting the M.E.G.A team. We built a canvas there and projected some of my demos from a beamer during the party. This felt great! Thanks to DEFT for providing the photos - not more than 10 years late. But hey, what's 10 years at our age - this way, they are even retro now :-) The demos in the video are:

Every time I'm with Insane at Fujiama, I learn new things. This year, I've learned that I can use "minge64-gcc-..." under Cygwin to create self-contained binaries under Cygwin on Windows. And I've learned there is an excellent shoot-em-up I had never heard of called "Tyrian". Originally an MS-DOS-based game written in Pascal and x86 assembly, it has been made open source and is available for many platforms today as OpenTyrian. Ross's Game Dungeon: Tyrian is an excellent and entertaining review of the game.
