Welcome!

 Welcome to the Caulky and the Nutmeg Mine "Scatman John" mini-site!

Hello scene!  My name is Caulky and along with colleagues in the democrew The Nutmeg Mine, I am best known for creating the legendary Atari ST intro Scatman John.  This was released in the demo competition at SillyVenture Summer Edition 2024, where it finished a commendable sixth place.  Notably, it is the first ever Atari ST intro to include a full pop song.  You can watch and download the work either here or here.

In recent years, we have noticed that it has become increasingly popular to create blogs or mini-sites attached to demo releases, where authors can provide exciting technical details and behind-the-scenes revelations.  Over the years, these have been growing in size and stature, and have now become so wildly popular that there are documented cases on record of lengthy mini-sites being created without the attached demo ever being released, or even created in the first place.  There are even rumours of a multiple new categories for the 2027 Meteoriks: "Most Ostentatious And/Or Verbose Write-Up" across "old-school", "lower mid-school", "mid-school (including but not limited to Fantasy Consoles)", "upper mid-school", "older new-school", "new-school", "the newest of new-school" and "future technology" platforms.

There was a real buzz about our release at the time, so here is our first ever mini-site!  We hope you enjoy the making-of our demo as much as you enjoyed the demo itself.
