There are dozens of high-quality demos released every year.
The state of the art has also been progressing. Some of the things coded on the C64 these days are things that I found too difficult to do on the Amiga back in the '90s when I was active.
- MrBuddyCasino 3y agoI‘m aware. It is also a fact that the average age of the participants is rising. The foundation of the subculture and its cultural cachet was always the warez scene where it originated, revolving around tight-knit groups of young dudes that participated in a forbidden pleasure and formed tribes that competed with each other. That energy is dead and gone. Once something hangs in a museum, its still art, but it is no longer alive, no longer evolving and becoming.

- wiz21c 3y agoToo bad you're downvoted. I was a pretty active member of the scene back then (Imphobia group) but nowadays, everyone's getting older. I'd say it's a fact. But don't underestimate the energy of nostalgia. It's still there and, AFAIC, the scene and I : until death us do part !
