Also, hats off to Freddy43! Upon learning, the night before the submission cutoff, that the Deadline demoparty in Berlin was accepting remote entries, he spent an hour throwing together this little aalib greetro, and took home 3rd place (admittedly of only three entrants, but the point spread wasn’t so very dramatically against him!)



Sometime I will have to write a longer post about Mistigris’ demoparty history, since a look at our Demozoo activity log indicates the hilariously long gap in activity – dipping our toes in the water in 1996 and 1997, I then headed off to Assembly and Evoke in the summer of 1999 with some fresh tracks and bearing with me the hazy memory of Mistigris… and then the conspicuous silence of the permanently stilled, until our name begins popping back up on the historical record in 2015. Maybe we’ll be able to take it a little further this time around! In the meantime, Freddy43 (and Creonix, another subject for a later post) have given us a great start for our second chance.
