2021 Fall Edition Update

I can’t believe we have updated the site, but not the blog 😉 Well, here we go, are you ready for the 2021 Fall Edition of Transmission64? We’re getting there and we’re looking forward to seeing you online tomorrow.

One day to go

In a few hours, our deadline for competition entries looms (Dec 3rd, 2021 at 4 PM / 16:00 CET). Our voting/submission system has been for some days already.

Of course, we’d prefer to be at x2021 in person in Holland instead of holding this live event, but as this is not possible at the moment, we appreciate that our friends, the x-party organizers, allowed us to use their date, their competition system and try to fill at least some of the void.

To help enhance the party feeling, – work adventure provides us with a virtual party place, where you can walk around. The wonderful map was designed by Alias Medron/Padua.

We’ve updated our timetable and have many goodies for you. Aside from our standard competitions (music, PETSCII, graphics, 4k, demo), we have a BASIC fader competition this year. We’re looking for your best effect to clear the screen. A big thanks to Krill/Plush for coming up with this idea in cooperation with us.

A c64 party wouldn’t be a party without some talks and music acts. For talks this year, we have Pontus (Bacchus/Fairlight) introducing us to coding environments for the c64 and Youtuber Graham Tinkers tells us about c64-hardware diagnostics. For music, we enlisted Ziona of SLAY Radio and h0ffman to provide c64-mixes for us.

The rest is up to you – we’re looking forward to your entries and hope to entertain and be entertained with you. Our streaming will take place on Twitch again this year.

Before I go back to preparing things again, I would like to send a special “thank you” to Aggressor/Padua, who already helped us a lot for our first edition earlier this year and has been and will be doing so again this year. Also, thanks to Unlock/Padua, who helped us with promoting the event and will help during the event. Burglar for all the work he did with us for enhancing Votox, Cupid for some help with that as well. T101 set up PartyMan as a slide system for us to use on top of Votox.
