KaosOverride showed two Amstrad CPC demoes at the Euskal Encounter 21 meeting (25-28 July 2013 in Spain (northern coast): Phortem by NoRecess and Still Rising by Vanity in front of 5.000 attendees.

Kaos Override also showed his adventure game at the "Open Game Compo" of the meeting and won against productions made ​​for smartphones, PCs.

This adventure game "Marron en la Euskal" (Big problem at the Euskal) was made possible thanks to the graphics libraries made ​​by Artaburu. In this game you are a helper of the party, that lost some flash drives full of demos that are indispensable for the scene contest.

For the moment there is only a spanish version of this game, an international version should follow.

Here are the results of the 4 contests of the ReSeT #0 meeting (and soon they will be available for download) :

• demo : Krusty with the demo Les experts à Coutances
• 4 Ko intro : Krusty with Still the best
• graphics : Rahow with LittleDGirl (on CPC+)
• music : McKlain with Take Off

See below for the photo of Krusty the winner (on the left), and Beb (on the right) who made a graph for the demo Les experts à Coutances.

If you arent afraid of some blood, here are 3 photos of the inside of a modded Amstad CPC with 2 CRTC. Which make me wonder what would be a heavily modded Amstrad CPC that everybody would love to own. If you have some ideas, write it in the thread I opened on CPCWiki.

29 degrees celcius, it's hot here in Coutances after the results of the contests, so because I am thinking about all visitors (at least me) who could use some water, here are 2 old photos which will provide some.

Size doesnt matter by SuperSly, oh really o.O ?

Dont get lost when you arrive, the room has changed, instead of entering just after Eliot's car, go left and down.

Then, you will find the entrance with CPCists trying to make the new demo which will put in flame the Batman forever demo.

So here is the new home of the ReSeT #0 meeting.

Here is the part of the room where most of the work is done (teeths chewing).

I wont say that some people in this meeting are using a C64 instead of a CPC, I promise...

And of course we have our own cinema room which was playing Batman forever a bit later.

Get your swim suit, because you will sleep in the l'aquarium (fish tank).

Top secret place of your webmaster, with the webmaster certainly drinking some coffee instead of working on this site.

Welcome back to Coutances, home of the ReSeT #0 meeting, organized by the tireless Eliot. I arrived this Friday just in time for lunch.

Sadly Eliot either doesn't own a watch or he still need to learn to use one, meals are good but never at the good hour that old men like me needs. So the meal started at 3:00pm with the first persons arrived.

At least Eliot has one big quality, he is very courageous : he isnt afraid of Escherichia coli, just look at part of our meal.

Amstrad Expo is no more, but rejoice as ReSeT #0 is the new name of the Amstrad meeting organized by the tireless Eliot.

• graphics : all formats/modes are allowed. The entry must be submitted with its viewer program runnable on CPC or Plus
• music : any executable music on CPC or Plus. The entry must be submitted with its player. No size limit

CPC Hardware will be given for free at the party-place: monitors, keyboards, floppy-drives, floppy-discs... All the parts from CPCParts.net will be available to repair and upgrade your CPC with the help of hardware specialists.

The ReSeT Party will take place from Friday 24th (10:00) to Sunday 26th of June 2011 (18:00) at Foyer des Jeunes Travailleurs in Coutances. The price is 11 euros per day for the entrance, drinks and food. You can book a double room at the party place for 20 euros per night.
