Welcome to Breakpoint 2006, world's biggest pure demoscene event. Up to 1000 visitors from more than 30 nations are expected to once again gather
in the beautiful town of Bingen am Rhein, Germany, from the 14th to the 17th of April 2006 (Easter weekend).
Make your way through a jungle of creativity, skills and art. A huge range of competitions, seminars and events about code,
music and graphics awaits you - all created by a worldwide community of young computer enthusiasts.
Meet old friends or make new ones, amaze the crowd with your productions, and improve your knowledge in all kinds of computer related
art.
(You still don't know what this is all about? Never been to a demoparty before? Check our New Visitors section!)
Voted best demoparty for 3 years in a row by the readers of the PAiN magazine, we of course also stay commited to bringing you the best
possible party experience - cheap drinks, cool music liveacts, a seperate beer/party-tent, a meadow with bonfire and of course our relaxed and friendy party rule set
are just a few of our core features - you may read more about those in the About the party section. As the 2005 party location, the "Rundsporthalle" in Bingen, was an all-out success with both the visitors and the
organizers, we will gladly return there this year.
We are also proud to again host 2005's scene.org Awards, like we did for the past 3
years. Experience the ceremony live at Breakpoint, where the best demos and demo creators from 2005 will be awarded.
So - don't miss the party event of the year, visit Breakpoint 2006 and register now! Or step by in the
forum or join the IRCNet channel #breakpoint. If you have further questions to the organizing team, just
contact us on our hotline mail address: .
Also don't forget to check out the official Breakpoint 2006 Invitation Demo, explaining Part 1 of this years 'Rumble in the Jungle' story (which is to be continued during the opening ceremony).
Minimum PC specs are: 800MHz P3/Duron, Pixelshader 1.1 compatible graphics card (GeForce3,Radeon8500 or better). Alternatively a video version of the Invitation Demo is available for download. And if you are using Winamp5, you may also watch it as a stream.
Another goodie, this time for C64 users: There also does exist an Invitation Demo for you breadbox-lovers. While it doesn't explain the Breakpoint 2006 story as the PC one does, it still is real fun and a highly recommended watch.
Ok, here is an official pre-announcement for those who need a confirmation on the obvious stuff:
Breakpoint 2007 will take place from Good Friday, April 6th, to Easter Monday, April 9th 2007. The location again will be the Rundsporthalle in Bingen am Rhein, Germany.
Go book your plane tickets now while they are still cheap!
The BP2007 party website is expected to be launched in late December (probably during the TUM 2006 party). Stay tuned!

Yeah, took us quite some time (we've all been very busy catching up with the accumulated work that didn't get done because of BP organizing :), but there's been a major update on the reports page for those who are interested.

The first batch of the Breakpoint 2006 seminar videos is now available for download. Information about the seminars can be found on the Seminars page.
Again big thanks for the seminar speakers and the event team for all the recording work!
The missing videos of the other seminars will follow soon.

And, hooray - in addition to the W:E and BASS concert videos already available, we now have the Ultrasound Concert for you!
(And still please don't bug us about the other videos, seminars etc, we are working on it :)

Ok, here we go with a first huge batch of Breakpoint 2006 party videos for your viewing pleasure - available for download now are video captures of the Amiga Demo and 64K intro competitions. And if you feel like getting some of BP's stage mood into your home, go get the concert videos for Welle:Erdball and BASS.
(And still please don't bug us about the other videos, seminars etc, we are working on it :)

Please do not ask/mail us about party videos (seminars, concerts, console/amiga demos etc). Our team is working on it, but due to the massive number of videos to cut and encode, it will take some time until they are done. We will inform you with a news entry (and possibly a newsletter) when videos become available, so again, please stop bugging us, it won't make things go faster :)

Well, we are finally done cleaning up the location etc. After-party-survey, seminar videos etc will be done during the next few days, so stay tuned. If you wish to upload missing releases, party videos etc, please login to ftp1.untergrund.net, go to directory breakpoint/incoming/breakpoint06 and create a subdir there (the name of the subdirectory should contain which category your upload should go into etc).
Also don't forget to check out the official Breakpoint 2006 Invitation Demo, explaining Part 1 of this years 'Rumble in the Jungle' story (which is to be continued during the opening ceremony).
