The great people at ThinkGeek are now sponsors of PixelJam!  They are providing two gift certificates totaling $150 for the top winners of the Video Game compo.  In addition, they will be providing additional prizes, bags and other gadgets to be given away in other compos.

Thanks, ThinkGeek!

 

We are excited that Mindcandy has agreed to provide the brand new Mindacandy 3 blu-ray for the top 3 winners in the Combined Demo category at PixelJam!

Their work is a labor of love and a great way to introduce the demoscene to people not familiar with it.  It’s also a great resource if you don’t have time to sit on pouet all day.  If you want the best of the best, check out Mindcandy!

 

This year’s compos and rules are now up.  As things change we will keep each category’s rules updated.

Velocanim_RBW_X DEMO from jonsatrom on Vimeo.

In this WINNER from the WILD CATEGORY of 2010, Jon Satrom’s Velocanim_RBW_X DEMO is based on “Windows, icons and velociraptors scripted in AppleScript.” Satrom writes that “This video is a concatenation of two separate recordings due to limited disc-space on my hard-drive. (That’s why you see my mouse at 01:05) The script executes the entire demo sequentially with no user input needed.”
