One day left!

Drones are hungry. Feed them!

📣 DRONE COMPO DEADLINE EXTENSION!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Drone Light Show Compo so far – we got awesome entries in, and with all the permissions right on track, the compo is a go!
However, we still have some flight minutes to fill, which is why we decided to extend the deadline for the Drone Light Show Compo to this Sunday, 02.08.2026 23:59:59 CEST.

Don't miss out, get something done this weekend! All technical details can be found here: https://2026.evoke.eu/competitions/drone-light-show/

got my entry in for the @evoke drone show after working pretty flat out on it yesterday. the hardest part was actually just getting the old version of Blender they needed running on CachyOS (Arch-based) bc it wanted to link all sorts of old versions of libraries - eventually I found an AppImage someone made which worked. then at one point Blender started segfaulting during the simulation so that was "fun". I was hitting 'save' every few seconds to mitigate that.

but we have a full particle simulation with divergence-free fields, automatic acceleration- and velocity-limiting, and collision avoidance (basically each drone acts like it has an inverse-square repulsion field) all implemented in one absolutely monstrous chunk of geometry nodes spaghetti. really excited to see it in the sky in a few weeks :3

PSA: Today is the LAST DAY where you can pre-order a shirt with your ticket purchase!
Shirts will be available on site for spontaneous purchase, but without the guarantee of your size being in stock. Don't risk a fashion FOMO, pre-order now!

Unisex/Fitted styles available. Please don't forget to write your size in the notes field.

if you liked the old "powers of ten" video, you will probably like this thing my friend thomas made: everything*

it is basically a realtime interpretation of that old powers of ten concept. you can watch it as a youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLCTA55LIag

or you can try the realtime app, which is currently available for windows and macos on the projects website at https://www.everything.one

it is narrated by a real human, which is quite refreshing these days...

✌️ Woke up like this. #newprofilepic

I played my shader visuals on the polygons in the epic Lounge setup at #gpn24. It was a blast! Thanks to @LoungeControl for the kick-ass stage and for having me, to @Alexeyan for totally tearing down and to everyone in the crowd for dancing their asses off! See you all next year. #vj #shaders #DigitalArt

Started today with the work on my demo for the #Evoke. Can’t wait! @evoke #demoscene

@evoke I need to find 'a better dev envirronement' ( maybe you can suggest me one ? ) I was using some VS plugin that was allowing me to code in Z80 ASM and immediately launch/test on an emulator but it did stop working. What would be a best thing to use then ?

Making a demo is always the answer.

This super cool sticker could be yours! Talk to us at parties!

Our friends from Haujobb love evoke— and we love them right back. ❤️
Thank you for this lovely invitation, released at @outline.

Watch the prod, take the message to heart, and make a demo! ✌️

🚨 DRONE COMPO @ EVOKE! 🚨

Following last year's successful Drone Show, we now want to give you the chance to use the sky as a canvas in what could be a "once in a lifetime" opportunity!

As one can imagine, this comes with a set of challenges compared to a traditional compo. Because of that, we want to share an early overview of where things stand, what to expect and how to set up your workflow for success. We got you!
