Gents & ladies,

   little did BP orgas know how right they were with the parody stock 
ticker symbols ;-). CASHEMBLY is indeed right, and that cash is going to 
  demo groups. We've been very successful (even in these recession 
times!) to confirm a lot of great sponsors like Microsoft, and this 
guarantees an awesome 45 000 euros total prize pool (demoscene & game 
compos).

   The winner of each compo category is guaranteed to get their prize as 
100% cash. So, the winner of the demo compo walks away with 7000 euros. 
Not only that, the best demo also automatically participates in the Live 
2011 Grand Prix finals (total prizes worth over 140 0000 euros).

   Further on prizes:

   Microsoft is also sponsoring two specialty compos: the search is on 
for the best Windows Mobile and Silverlight entries. Total of 3000 euros 
worth of extra prizes will be awarded to best Windows Mobile entries. 
You can also get loaner phones to develop your entry on. Further prizes 
are available for best Silverlight prods.

   Bring on the best prods!

Subject: [ASM scene] Seminars up
Message-ID: <4A425FDD.1080009@assembly.org>

Hi,

   first batch of seminars is up. A couple of picks you might like:

The tech behind the Love MMO
http://www.assembly.org/summer09/seminars/sessions#lovetech
This is a procedural MMO, and Eskil will talk about how the tools are 
made. Definite match to demomaking tools.

Blueberry Garden exposed
http://www.assembly.org/summer09/seminars/sessions#blueberrygardens
Independent Games Festival Grand Prix winner this year. Different, 
ecletic and artistic. Definitely something there to apply to demos.

Symphonic shades & videogame music
http://www.assembly.org/summer09/seminars/sessions#symphonicshades
Purple Motion on conducting videogame music with symphonic orchestras. 
Cool stuff.

All seminars at http://www.assembly.org/summer09/seminars

More good stuff coming and will be announced shortly. CU at ASM!
