Demoparty season is at hand, and lots of parties are up and coming for anyone who want's to enjoy the demoscene and maybe even participate by releasing music/graphics/photos/demos/invites and so on.

I recently got back from Outline 2009 which was absolutlely awesome, and I even produced a little expose-fun video of a tiny fraction of the party atmosphere. You can catch it HERE!

My next parties will be:

Rewired - Belgium (Netherlands/Belgium border)

Sundown - United Kingdom

I will try and attend more but as it happens work and money don't permit that much flexibility at the moment!

But there are loads more; check out Demoparty.net


Maybe see some of you there!

Now that the 'minor' scheduled maintenance is complete, I'd like to welcome you to the newest incarnation of The Mod Archive. For a quick run-down of what's new (other than the brand spanking new layout) check out the what's new page.

This has been about two months in the (re)making, and a heck of a lot of work. I would also like to extend my thanks to Saga Musix, Jojo, whom has been a core shoulder of support for the entire duration of the project. As well as being there to bounce ideas off, he has also provided some of the know-how to get fiddly design code working.

I am totally exhausted, and I've been dreading this moment - will it work? won't it? why did my LAN fail during the key moment of transferring? (seriously, that really had me screaming at my screen, my wife will vouch for that!). Well anyway, it's here and working (as far as I can tell) so I hope you all enjoy the new website and will consider giving us a shout on the forums or even on my shoutwall ;)

By the way, a word of caution: clear or delete your cookies for modarchive.org, you might have some odd logging in problems and/or menu discrepancies if you have an old cookie in your cache.

All the best,

P.S Happy April 1st :-) Sorry, no prank this year!

On 31st March the site will be unavailable for a few hours due to some minor maintenance work that needs to be carried out.

This means that the site and forums will be off from 22:00hrs CET on 31st March.

There is a countdown below the search box on the site showing the time remaining until the site is shut off.

I've been working on a new version of The Mod Archive, just thought I'd mention that since things seem to be quiet around here (I can assure you, they are not quiet by any definition of the word). It's a redesign of the front end from the ground up, keep an eye on the forums for teaser shots if that sort of thing floats your boat.

This news item applies only to members whom hold artist accounts.

It's time to publicly announce the little feature that has been added upon request to the area for artists: Creative Commons Licenses!


By default, your uploaded works are already under the license agreement of The Mod Archive for redistribution purposes, but this does not assist with identifying potential candidates for third party use. So, by attributing a Creative Commons (or alternative) license to your material, you will be able to indicate to third parties (such as game developers, students etc... basically anyone who's browsing your stuff) that they can make use of your material, in accordance to the license that you select.

You will find the license settings under your Artist sub-menu My Modules.

For regular visitors to The Mod Archive, an additional item on the individual module information pages have been added that indicates the license associated with the module.

Enjoy!
