  "textContent": "[ **Atariscne.org - News** ] Outline 2026 is over\n\nThe Outline timetable says: \"_12:00 GTFO or Help cleaning_ \", so while Havoc and friends are swinging the broom, we can sip at our coffee and enjoy some party impressions and results.\n\n_A quick Outline overview, photos by Jade_\n\nAtari activity has been spotted! 42Bastian was hyperactive in the small size intro competitions with some nice screens: RTB, Fountain and Zini for Jaguar.\n\n_This Atari Jaguar 256 Bytro is utterly beautiful_\n\nFirst place in the oldschool 256 Byte category was taken by F#READY with an Atari 8-Bit entry called Flexus. Further, LX took part with Lynx releases in both the oldschool 128 Bytro and 256 Bytro compo, but no further information on those is available at the moment.\n\nOn ST we got three screens by Cortin, nice little contributions and partly looking really interesting.\n\nOn the Atari demo side of things we also had \"YOFO\", as a first release by Scion, a young group made of old people. Be aware that there is more to see than what is shown in the video capture. But this secret is left to reveal for real hardware warriors.\n\n_YOFO by Scion - The most orange ST demo so far_\n\nThen we got a couple of nice Atari ST graphics. Mysterious #592C63/akaikoshi striked back with a piece of his sticker collection and an additional anti-capitalistic motive. Steffest/Desire won the competition with an impressive and somewhat scary picture.\n\n_stickers by Akaikoshi - the new brand on the market_\n\n_a random Amiga scener visualised: \"Harbinger\" by Steffest_\n\nDma-Sc and Doclands both were present and hold up the Atari chiptunes flag in the music compo, ranking 3rd and 5th place. These entries are not available yet, but will certainly pop up in the sndh archive. I remember some very nice and clean lead sounds in Dma-Sc's track on the stream.\n\nThe attendance is reported to have been a bit smaller sized this year, while the number of releases and particularly those of high quality went straight uphill in some categories.\n\nAs a small but painful step outside the Atari box:\nThe new school demos were really remarkable and packed. There was about a handful of entries which seemed to be the clear compo highlight, but the show went on and on. Among others, groups like Guidline or GDA were having their comebacks. And Majestetic released a nice homage to the 2000s PC demoscene spirit.\n\nFirst place went to \"Kablam!\" by Trepaan which was a complete detective movie like experience, and entirely atmospheric and beautiful. Haujobb delivered a very uplifting fantasy console demo which also represents this year's Evoke invitation and features the new scene standard of unreadable greetings. The vibrant and funky soundtrack by Jazz was also winning the music competition at Outline.\n\nIf I would have to pick a favourite, that would be \"Human Kaleidoskope\" by Teadrinker. An absolutely gallant demo production, playing with one's imagination, accompanied by a really, really, really good soundtrack :-)\n\nAs far as I can judge, I think this has been the most comprehensive newschool demo competition at any Outline so far.\n\nBut let's not stretch the Atarians attention span any further with those side roads. Have a look at all the releases on the respective pages, if you like.\n\nThanks to spkr and Jade for sharing a few of their insights for this article!\n\n🔗 Outline 2026 on Demozoo\n\n🔗 Outline 2026 on Pouet",
