Demoparty: Posadas 2023 (Spain)
From 30 June to 2 July, this year's edition of the Posadas demoparty will take place in Posadas, Spain. As the Spanish graphic designer José A. 'jojo073' Gonzáles tells us - the French magazine BOING interviewed him in its fifth issue and has now published this interview in Spanish - the demo party was first organised with numerous competitions in the 1990s and was brought back to life a few years ago after a long break.

Event: Look Behind You and Gameplan at the Level Up in Salzburg (Austria)
In addition to Amiga Future, the two German publishers Look Behind You and Gameplan will also participate at Level Up in Austria for the first time this year. Below you can read the translation of their official press release:

"Level Up is the first Austrian gaming and eSports festival that brings together recreational gamers, professionals, gaming fans, as well as creators and stars of the scene in an experiential atmosphere to experience new trends and celebrate their shared passion.

PED81C: Pseudo chunky screens on AGA Amigas (Update)
The Amiga's bitplane-based graphics, in which the color information for each pixel on a screen is captured as two-dimensional layers and, for scrolling, each layer (bitplane) is changed by the exact same value so that each pixel also gets the same color again, is memory-efficient but slow for individual changes and, with the advent of 3D graphics and fast memory on graphics cards, has fallen behind the chunky display of PCs and Macs.
