New demopati for Easter in Germany: REVISION 2011 (ex-Breakpoint)

The tradition to make a large and real (no gamers!) Demopati on Easter in Germany continues! Breakpoint existed for 8 years, and was last held in April last year. Time to move on - REVISION 2011.



Some of the organizers of Breakpoint gained new people, really discussed everything to make this new demopati even better than the previous ones and try to incorporate the advantages of other European demoparty into it, and finally chose a new place.



Meet: Germany, Saarbrücken, April 22-25, 2011.

So, the new place: Saarbrücken is a small, quiet town in the south-west of Germany, not far from the French border. Demopati will be held in a spacious hall for 1000 people, where everyone must have enough space. Also, of course, as always, it will be possible to sit plenty on the grass or by the fire in the open air. And of course, there are hotels nearby where you can sleep if you don’t want to spend the night in the hall.



The schedule is traditional: on Friday everyone arrives, settles, watches the opening ceremony. On Saturday and Sunday - the main contests, and on Monday - the results and closing.



The rules have changed a little: for example, there are no more restrictions on the size of large demos, and all the graphics and pictures are combined into one category. New components: tracker music and demo-in-browser. Well, the traditional 64k and 4k-demos, of course, are not lost anywhere.



How to get there? The cheapest and easiest way is via Riga, from where Ryanair airlines can fly to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, where you and other sceners will be able to pick up a special bus going directly to Revision. There are many other ways.



Last year at Breakpoint 2010 it was just incredibly cool (see report ), and I sincerely wish everyone to go there, feel this incredible atmosphere and communicate with smart and pleasant people. Even if you do not write demoscenes or music yourself, and you are just a “spectator” - I promise you that after such a demopati, you will certainly have a strong desire to create something yourself.
