17 November 2024: DemoArts #100 is published

It has taken a while but finally DemoArts #100 has been published. It has been both a journey and a struggle to reach this point, and while it has become easier as time has passed and my tooling has improved, it still takes one or two evenings to get a single production captured, edited, encoded and ready to be published.

Here are a few statistics so far:

• 84 unique groups and individuals
• Covering over 30 years of demo prods from 6 different platforms
• Total length: 9 hours and 15 minutes (yes 555 minutes, that was not planned)
• Total size: Almost 25 GB of video and audio files.

31 December 2023: 1 year anniversary & website overhauled

So far, 54 videos have been published at the ludicrous speed of one per week, which means that DemoArts (in its current incarnation) have now turned 1 year old.

To celebrate, the website has received an overhaul. While it has briefly been based on Ghost CMS and then Wordpress, it is now generated using Publii. This means the whole site is faster, smaller and 100% statically generated, which is much closer to my original vision.

Thank you for following along this far.

4 June 2023: Changed category

The Requests category was intended to bring some external input into the process and to let people have their favorites eventually published. It didn’t work as intended, so it has been replaced by productions from the Curio list from scene.org.

First production out in the new Curio category is “Stargazer” by Andromeda & Orb.
