<\/a>Inercia demoparty is the only regularly held demoscene<\/a> event in Portugal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So as far as I am concerned this demo party represents a new stage for the Portuguese demoscene. We may be few, but the Portuguese scene is still alive and well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A small disclaimer : I’ve been involved only in designing and making the trophies for the Inercia Demoparty 2022. And this report is not meant to be a comprehensive report on every event at the party. And that this party report is my own personal opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Like the last physical edition, the party was held at “Academia Dram\u00e1tica Familiar<\/a>” in Lisbon, Portugal, from 4th<\/sup> to 6th<\/sup> November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The partyplace had a bar, on a self service configuration, and the food at the party place as sponsored, therefore you only had to pay for the drinks. An improvement over last edition was the fact that the party place it self was not held at the auditorium, but instead much better use of the facilites compared to last edition :<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note : By “Main Hall” I mean the room where the attendants socialize and have their PC’s set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year’s edition had 16 competitions<\/a>. I wont describe the categories here, nor describe each entry, but I would like to highlight a few points :<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the points above, there were a LOT of entries, local and remote, witch was pretty good. I personally did not like that the demo , intro and fast demo compo were combined, but looking at the entry distribution, and that were already 16 compos, it made sense that they were combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The shader royale competition was as impressive as usual is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The seminars, on my opinion, are one of the most interesting parts of Inercia Demoparty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I really liked the Load ZX Museum<\/a> seminar <\/a>by Jo\u00e3o Diogo , and I was definitely impressed by their conservation efforts. I must get to visit their museum sometime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were also a seminar on Material Make<\/a>r by Paulo Falc\u00e3o<\/a> , and there was a roundtable on the “Demoscene past and future “<\/a> where outreach strategies were discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was also a Portuguese Craft Beer seminar<\/a> presented by Jo\u00e3o Trigo, and lastly a performance by the Toplap Lisbon<\/a>. I was looking forward to it, but somehow I missed it (gladly the video is already up on youtube).<\/p>\n\n\n\n What I should improve next year :<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m quite happy to see that In\u00e9rcia Demoparty 2022 was, on my eyes, a success. There were more attendees than last edition, and there were people from Russia to Switzerland. The entries were plenty, and most importantly, I was able to be with old and new colleagues, and meet people I met online in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I must add that the organizers were tireless on the endeavor of organizing the demoparty, and did a good job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately I was only able to participate on the photo compo. This year I’ve decided to make a demo for the sega Saturn, but issues with the libyaul <\/a>(code breaking changes to libyaul) made me lose too much time at the party place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking forward to the next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Context In\u00e9rcia Demoparty 2022 was the 1st Demoparty of the revived “Associa\u00e7\u00e3o In\u00e9rcia”, since 2006. From 2002 to 2006 Inercia demoparty was held by the previous Inercia association. From 2006 to 2021 the organization fell back to psenough and jeenio, depending on the edition. Inercia demoparty is the only regularly held demoscene event in Portugal. … <\/p>\nThe Party Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
