This was MountainBytes 2025!

62 releases, 17 DemoLab workshop participants, 120 visitors on site, 500 stream viewers - these are just some of the statistics behind MountainBytes 2025.

We are hardly able to express our gratitude and pride when looking at how active the Swiss demoscene has once more become - and with that a new sense of playfulness, curiosity and openness that makes us truly proud to call this community our home.

A special thank you goes out to:

Everyone whose work gave us this great experience (Aldroid, binary-sequence, CCP, d.fox, Emufr3ak, Jobj, Kudrix, Maya, moovieh, n0tty, Nightspider, Pietro, Pixtur, Procyon, psykon, RaccoonViolet, reality404, Shana, Säschu, CoLD StoRAGE, Unlock, Lucid, Kathrin Hunze and the Lorzensaal Team)

Everyone who helped us financially making MountainBytes possible (Numfum GmbH, the Canton of Zug and Swisslos, Hasler Stiftung)

Our partners, who provided us with free goods and services for your convenience (Scenesat, Lorzensaal, Tastatur und Maus e.V., The Meteoriks)

... and of course YOU, bringing all those amazing releases and great mood with you!

Where are more pictures?

We are in the process of building our own fileshare, collaboration and hosting, based on F/LOSS solutions. Once this is done, we feel better about hosting event pictures there instead of the currently ever-present G-Drive links, so please bear with us until summer 2025. If you require pictures e.g. for your portfolio or press work, please get in touch with us and we will provide you with some.
