Field-FX 2024 - A demoparty in an tent at EMF Camp 2024

30th May - 2nd June 2024, Eastnor Park, Ledbury, UK

demoscene, a digital frontier arts subculture. And EMF Camp, a festival for hackers and creative people to gather, party, and share knowledge. We're throwing a demoparty, and everyone at EMF Camp is invited to watch, to make entries, and to have a great time. There's a saying on the scene, "the real party is outside." Well it doesn't get any more outside than this!

Our goal is to bring the spirit of the demoscene to more people, and to encourage creativity. We hope you will join us!

Anyone who has a ticket to EMF Camp can join us on site. If you want to watch remotely, we will be streaming the event on Twitch. To submit entries (please submit entries!) we will be announcing our partynet nearer the event. We are not charging for anything, but EMF tickets are sold separately.

Monday Night Bytes

We have a regular Monday night jam at around 8 or 9pm UK time, on our twitch channel

The purpose of the jams is to give people a chance to practice together, without the pressure of a demoparty event. Also it's a chance to hang out with the scene community and to learn from each other.

We host two types of jam. Byte Jams are the most common - using TIC-80, a fantasy console that facilitates learning and pixel drawing. The other kind is Shader Jams using Bonzomatic. This uses GLSL, which is a powerful GPU language used in computer graphics and game development.

We encourage anyone who wants to try! If you're interested, please let us know, or find out more by following the announcements on our social media channels.

Code of conduct

We are committed to making Field FX an inclusive and welcoming event. Unfortunately, sometimes harassment happens. While we are present on site at EMF Camp we are all subject to the EMF Camp Code of Conduct and our organisers are invested in supporting it.

We will also be extending the same Code of Conduct to our party stream. Moderators will be present in online channels operated by Field FX and their identity will be established by a group message at regular intervals throughout the stream. Tagging them in your message will elicit a response. During a stream we aim to reach a decision on all conduct issues within 10 minutes. Outside of channels operated by us we cannot guarantee support. All reports will be taken seriously and will be considered in confidence by our team.
