Welcome to Gerp

h0ffman, teo, and wasp are about to host a highly educational session on how to prepare samples for your favourite Amiga Tracker — because apparently “just rip it from some MOD you found on Aminet” is no longer considered best practice.

Expect:
- questionable wisdom
- strong opinions about 8-bit headroom
- at least one heated debate about whether that loop really clicks or if you’re just imagining it

Bring your Amiga spirit, your worst samples, and your best excuses.
This is the seminar your future modules will thank you for.

Preliminary at 21:00 Friday evening.

As we have basically had the same competitions and compo rules for many years now, we thought it might be a good idea to inform specifically about the changes for 2026 so you don’t miss anything of importance.

The changes/additions are as follows:

• There is a new rule about AI in the general rules section covering all competitions.
• The Other platform graphics compo has been replaced with a more open 16 colors pixel graphics compo.
• There is a new compo for Amiga color cycling images.
• And last but not least there will be an additional No-CPU Amiga demo compo (see earlier news post). This does however not replace the regular Amiga demo and Intro compos.

Check out the Compos section for more information.

All tickets are booked, but as last time we have the Queue. When signups are full, you'll be added to the queue and we'll contact you via your email when a spot opens up. You will have to take action when the mail arrives; Info about what to do is in the mail.

We have a special announcement from Blueberry to all Amiga creators!

You are hereby invited to participate in the No-CPU challenge that was just announced at Evoke 2025. There will be a dedicated compo for this challenge at Gerp 2026 so get to it!

Visit https://no-cpu.dev/ for more information and info on how to participate! The invitation that was released on Evoke can be found at pouet.

We are in process of updating our home page. While doing this we got us a new URL! WYSIWYG, yes, this is the new page! Make sure to change the Gerp bookmark to Gerp.nu.

Disclaimer! If there is something wrong on the page please reach out on Discord and we'll queue up a fix for it! It's a new party system so might have some kinks.

We have revamped the whole page. Most notable change that will affect you directly is that you now have to register on the site before you can sign up. Create an account with email, SceneId, or GitHub as authentication methods. When done you should be at the My Gerp-page and can sign up to active parties, if any is active.

When there is an active party you can find it on the front page and in the My Gerp menu.

Make sure to verify email address and fill in your handle, and optionally a group.
