Dia 28 vamos estar no Game Break, um encontro da comunidade de desenvolvimento de videojogos em Lisboa organizado pelo Gaming Hub luma.com/a33cv3rc Vamos falar da Inércia e da ligação que tem ao desenvolvimento de videojogos, apareçam!

For the 5th time at Inércia we will be hosting the Shader Royale with people local and all over the world participating on the largest simultaneous live shader coding event. Can you code shaders? Com join the madness on the 6th of December then: 2025.inercia.pt/en/shader_ro...

Inércia is run by volunteers, offering their time and equipment, the projector is rented and the rest is mostly borrowed from a couple of production companies such as realizasom.com and www.arteeimpacto.com whom we thank for their invaluable support!

Testing things on the TV stand we got to promote our demoscene corner at Festival Periphera starting tomorrow.

Some demoscene hardcore activitists believe a real demoparty should have more competitions, others want very specific competitions, we prefer testing the concept of competitions without voting (we call them showcases) how about a compromise? (1/2)

We are exactly one month away from Inércia 2025 taking place! Already have a release done? Cool! You can upload them at inercia.partyman.cloud Nothing ready or even planned yet?! Oh dear! Well, you still have a whole month to be creative and build those bridges! No pressure!

Have we mentioned yet that Inércia 2025 is taking place 6-7 December in Almada? And that you should show up and show us what digital art you been working on? Because we have a flyer now and friends share flyers with interested friends. Don't have any friends? Come meet some.

Saturday 6th of December we will host a workshop given by the developers of TiXL, teaching Inércia visitors how to use TiXL for generating visual effects and motion graphics for installations, live performances, and VJing. tixl.app You're going to miss it?

Every year we host talks on digital art topics and try to enable any tech-art installations that our visitors might want to bring and setup. Have a topic or a piece you'd like to share at Inércia? You'll get the attention of dozens of artists and a free entrance! Get in touch!

What is this demoscene we speak of? It's a mixed community of digital artists and vintage computer enthusiasts, making computers do things they weren't originally built to do, and having fun while at it. Here is a video we did explaining things better: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Md...

Besides the demo competition we have other participation categories where you can share your latest creative work, be it music, drawing, messing around with genAI or tinkering with custom electronics. Check the full list of categories at our website and.. 2025.inercia.pt/en/participa...

Our main event is always the Demo Competition. We want to see your code running realtime at Inércia. Pick a platform, make a demo, convince the audience it is the best thing since Second Reality and get the prize money, the trophy and the eternal glory! 2025.inercia.pt/en/participa...

We have a new feature planned for this year: lightning talks, were you take the stage for 15 min to share something interesting about your creative process: a tool, a method, an inspiration, a project. Show us what you been working on! 2025.inercia.pt/en/participa...

At last year's Inércia we had a presentation by Load ZX Museum on their TENET preservation project. If you missed it they just released on their youtube channel a final video version of it with some extra details: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x4f...

Mais uma Momentum, o nosso evento mensal está quase aí! Dia 1 de Novembro, a partir das 15h, junta-te a nós para conheceres a Demoscene em Portugal!

Our Inércia 2025 location is once again Salão de Festas da Incrivel Almadense, a legendary hall in the middle of Almada. Thanks to the Almada city hall department of culture and the staff at SFIA for letting us use it for our digital art shenanigans! See you there 6-7 December!

The theme for Inércia 2025 is bridges! Yes, those small and large systems carefully engineered to bring and maintain connectivity. Technological bridges, cultural bridges, social bridges, circuit board bridges... Get inspired and show us what bridges mean to you 6-7 December.

One of our party features is having a dedicated corner of vintage and retro hardware screening some demos, where you can know more about old, learn how to repair the old one you may have in the attic and play some vintage videogames. Have something cool you want to bring aswell?

Meanwhile, in Germany, we released our invitation demo for Inércia 2025 at the wild competition of Deadline demoparty. After 25 years of more traditional invitation demos, we thought we could try a Powerpoint presentation instead. demozoo.org/productions/...

6octaves.com/2025/09/inte... Nice interview with one of Inércia's regular participants from Japan who stay up all night or set up an early alarmclock to participate at our Shader Royale events! In 2022 he overslept and made an intro about it, Inércia will always love him for it!

This year we party 6-7 December. That's Saturday and Sunday. Monday is national holiday in Portugal. We'll likely have a preparty on Friday night (TBA) for those who come earlier to socialize but main event is Saturday and Sunday.

Lamentamos o falecimento do nosso associado e amigo Filipe Pina, uma referência no desenvolvimento de videojogos em Portugal, entre muitas outras coisas. Fica para a memória a participação no duelo de modelação 3d na Inércia 2005. A sua falta será sentida. www.eurogamer.pt/filipe-duart...
