It’s our pleasure to announce the performers for @party’s pre-compo chiptune concert:

The concert will be on the evening of Saturday June 4th and will be followed immediately by the main compo block, neither of which should be missed!  We’re also putting together a Friday night “Velvet” concert featuring local live synth-based techno courtesy of the Artisan’s Asylum A/V Club.  Stay tuned for further information!

Hey everybody,

Registration is finally up, click here to register!

We’ve also updated the compo rules, go check them out even if you’ve participated in @party before as some rules have changed. We’ve also combined a few compos and created some new ones.

New compos this year:

• Shader Compo – Low barrier to entry, Shadertoy-compatible shader coding.
• VR Compo – We should have at least one of each major headset on-site.  Apply your graphics skills to these state of the art platforms!
• Freestyle Interactive Compo – Basically any hardware / software system somebody can interact with be it a game, interactive demo, animatronic sculpture, etc.

It is our pleasure to invite you to @party 2016!

This is the 7th annual @party and we’re moving two miles down the road to Artisan’s Asylum in Somerville, MA USA.  The new venue is more laid back than our previous sites and will allow us to return to three full days of scheduled programming from Friday June 3rd through Sunday June 5th with doors open ’round the clock.

The room will have a permanently installed sound system and bigscreen comparable in size to the party system of the past three years and you’re welcome to consume meals and refreshments at your computer place.  You can’t sleep here though, so please make arrangements for a hotel or roomshare if you don’t intend to stay awake for three days straight.  Registration and full compo details for 2016 will be up this week or next week at the latest, stay tuned.

We’ve also already begun scheduling live acts for Friday and Saturday and seminar presentations for all three days. Stay tuned for further details or contact us if you’re interested in presenting or performing as there are still some time slots available.

Thank you, and we hope to see you at @party 2016!
