We're happy to invite you to another edition of tUM at the end of demoscene year 2008.
The eight edition of the Ultimate Meeting starts on Sunday the 28th of December at 13:00 and ends on Tuesday the 30th around 14:00 with the prize giving ceremony. As usual we'll meet at our futuristic demoscene base in Karlsruhe-Durlach.
We've put up a questionnaire for tUM 2008. Please help us improve the party by taking part in it.
While the releases are in approval at scene.org, we've already put up the after party pages. There you can look at the results (with thumbnails) and links to reports, pictures etc.
If you wrote a report, made some pictures or have something else related to tUM 2008, please contact us so we can put it on the page.
Also, if you use flickr, please consider joining the group. That way we can someday have all pictures in one place.
The party is over, the hall is tidy and all our cars are packed. We're now all on our way home and will upload the entries and results as soon as we're unpacked and showered :)
Thanks to all the attendees for the great and wonderful atmosphere! We hope to see you all again next year.
We've set up a high-quality HD-Live-Stream incl. Reporting!
Check it out here!
in emergencies, call +49 171 7509613. Please don't call to ask for directions ;)
FRaNKy was so kind to create a facebook-event for tUM.
We'll be twittering during the whole party. Follow us and keep informed.
Nuance just released their BBQ Invitation Demo "the Ultimate Meat-Thing" as a teaser to this years awesome and fatty feast! Free meat for everyone!
As an early christmas present, paniq finished this years theme song "Galactic Voyage". Get it from the download-area.
The last possible moment to submit a remote entry will be the 27.12. at 16.00. We'll depart to the location shortly after - so that's the best we can do :-)
Just in time for the holidays. Have a look at what's going on this year.
This years entrance fee (for both boys and girls) will be 35 Euro - just as last year.
We've decided to have a new music-competition this year - a 7 second loop competition. Read all about it in the compo-section!
We're not getting tired of special events :-)
Thanks to our friends from Echtzeit - the organization behind buenzli - we'll be having the Ultimate Breakfast this year! Have a little snack and some orange-juice with your scene-friends right before the traditionally delayed prizegiving-ceremony on tuesday.
We're very happy to present Jeroen Tel live at tUM 2008! He will be performing for you just before the demo-night.
Jeroen Tel is a founding member of the computer music group Maniacs of Noise and is famous for composing unforgettable tunes for C64 games and demos.
You don't want to miss that one!
Thanks to one of our sponsors, we'll have a jury-prize at this year's tUM. Just as our colleagues at buenzli, we'll assemble a jury out of all attendees who will then hand-pick the best production from all the competitions.
We won't tell you about the prize just yet but it will be very unique and very special :-)
The nice guys from nuance are spending all their buenzli prizemoney on a big barbecue (called the Ultimate Meat-Thing) for all the people attending tUM this year.
So, there will be meat, and lots of it!
Do you plan to come to the Ultimate Meeting this year? Check out the list to see who's already signed up and let your friends know that you're coming, too.
We won't have an official ansi/ascii competition this year. So if you're interested in organizing an unofficial one, just contact us and we'll give you the tools to do it :)
We finally got out of the mud and launched the website (into space).
You'll find almost everything you need to know about this years event. You can read about and/or use:
- The competition rules (including a "what's different" section)
- The remote-entry upload form for the individual artists competitions
- The hotels around the partyplace (ok, there's just ONE at the moment, but we're working on it ;-))
- How to get there
- Offer and search a ride to the partyplace
- Link back to us, using one of our nice banners
If you're new to tUM - please go ahead and read about it in our short introduction.
If there is anything we can help you with, please contact us!
Also, we'll have some exciting stuff this year which we will announce at a later time (hopefully).
Please note that the Ultimate Meeting 2008 starts a day later than usual - from 28.12. to 30.12. this year.
Don't blame us if you show up on the 27th ;)
