Information

Location

The party will be held in Aulanko, Hämeenlinna at Aulangon Suuri Huvila.

The party place will have your usual Finnish demoparty features, like a few computer places (no reservations - first come, first served), some sleeping places (see more info under "Accommodation"), sauna, and palju. There is also a small, but fairly well equipped, kitchen with a couple of fridges (reserved mainly for your perishable food, not beer).

Accommodation

You can sleep at the party place if you want, but the amount of sleeping places is limited. The party place has a few shared bedrooms with 3-5 beds (about 25 beds total). If you have a specific need for a bed, please let the organizers know, otherwise it's first come, first served. There are also some sofas available in the general party area and room for tents outside (although the ground is quite uneven). Scandic Aulanko hotel is pretty close to the party place, only about 2.5km away and Hämeenlinna city center with even more hotels is not that far.

If you are sleeping at the party place, bring your own bedding. That's mandatory and won't be provided by the organizers.

If you have some special accommodation needs (e.g. if you need a power socket for a CPAP machine), please contact the organizers. Best way to reach us is in Jumalauta Discord server or Jumalauta party telegram group

Sofasceners welcome

You can join us in Jumalauta Discord server and Jumalauta party telegram group.

Remote entries

Remote entries are allowed for all official compos. You can submit your entry through Partyman.

Stream

A Twitch Stream will be available when there is something to stream. The internet connection at the party place is not that great, so the stream quality might not be great.

We will stream all the compos. We might also stream some of the other program. See party timetable for times.

Tickets and Registration

The party is now sold out and registration has been closed. Thanks to everyone who registered!

Payment deadline is June 30th, 2024.

Ticket price is 50€.

Compos

General Compo Rules

  • All compos allow multiple entries by the same people.
  • You can enter your entry in multiple compos as long as other rules apply.
  • The entry must be delivered in a ZIP archive, with descriptive filenames, so it’s 100% clear which file to show/play/run.
  • You can test your productions on the compo machine before the compo.
  • Party organizers have the right to publish the compo results, with your name/nick, and all the compo entries.
  • Disqualified entries and entries not shown in the compo will not be spread.
  • If your entry can not be run on Windows, please include a video capture.
  • No purely AI generated content. AI generated can be used as a part of an entry, but the majority of the entry must be your own/group's. (excluding AI wild compo)
