Clearly a lot of work, but the music was rather weak and some parts seem very poorly executed. But an excellent idea and some REALLY nice scenes as well :)

I've been thinking about doing a 64k like this for a LONG time. The first part seems a bit off, as the rendering can't really decide wether to be photo realistic or not - but it's just like it should be for 2nd part ofcourse.

The rendering is superb and I think the camera work is much improved on previous productions, just needs some work on the narration and pacing to make that formula complete. The music was ok and fit well but not very exciting! Congrats on a much more well rounded prod!

Good rendering with some naive points (don't make leaves wave if they cross walls...). The tune and the sounds are very 2002 but fit in the general mood.

1. Atmosphere
2. Convincing vegetation is seen far too rarely in demos considering the fact that it can be generated with rather non-complex algorithms
3. Manages to break the realism well (even though I'd have liked it to go somewhat farther with the breaking)

Very nice soft synth and music. Sweet.

And yes, complex vegetation rendering in combination with simple sine wave movements with clipping issues give an odd impression. Also, the awkward placing of the wind mills. Please fix those problems in the final version. :)

Deserved to win. Not entirely polished but still looks very good for the most part. The music is well made to fit into the visuals, and not just randomly composed gibberish as with a lot of productions. The direction overall is great as well, loved the transformation.

added on the 2012-04-10 09:04:39 by las las
Thanks for all the great feedback! It was an awesome party!

Damn! I'm really annoyed with the clipping issue on the grass. That is a 5 min fix. Since the music and synth wasn't finished until the party I had to do all the sync and camera movement at the party. So I blame sleeping for only 2 hours in total from friday at 12:00 to sunday at 18:00. And there were a couple of much higher prio bugs that was a real pain to get rid of (we meet again round off-error by /Qifist. BIG mesh glitches that one). I didn't want to repeat Assembly 2009 where we missed the deadline due to similar bugs. So I just handed it in when every major bug was fixed.

But a final version will come up soon. With bug fixes, and some more improvements. I just have to recover a bit from the party :)

Thumbs up for the technical aspect, though.
rulez added on the 2012-04-10 19:17:31 by ___ ___
Technically impressive, but the real stand-out is the design and what i would call "art direction" of it all. Beautiful colours, tons of details (the specks of dust or whatever they are that fly through the air really make a difference), good camera. Stunningly beautiful intro.

Yes, the clipping is a big issue. I noticed it at the party, and its the only real flaw i could name. Please, PLEASE make a final version! So many times people announce final versions but never actually make them, but if ever any prod really deserved a final version, this is it.

Best prod of Revision 2012 imho.

I always knew strawberries had lamps in them! :) Some very nice ideas and soothing audio. However object intersecion is gross. Right at the first frame I saw it (stem through leaf) struck me and the waving grass is really gross ;) Shifts it into piggy-position, but not enough ;)

Wow that was such a pleasure to watch! A real beauty.

+Best greets to Aardbei (strawberry) ever
+Love the detail
-The water, visible around the mountain with the windmills
-The mushrooms transform a bit less impressive than the rest
-The particle-streams seems a bit 'thight', it is hard to explain but it looks a bit like a brush is paining in the scene, instead of wonders of nature like the rest

Just forget everything I said. It is just because the rest is so nicely designed, it kinda makes you wonder how it would be if it was all perfect.
Congrats with an awesome realease, one of my personal highlites of the entire party. Bonus for making it run on my machine as well.

I also felt that. I think it would be cool if the particles would kind of dissolve, just slightly moving them in random directions after they are placed in the scene should do the trick.
I agree about the particle streams and mushrooms, but there's soo many other positive things to say about this prod!

My two main problems with this prod is a) It's quite boring, and b) The rendering looks very unnatural and artificial (even before the machine takes over), and the same thing with the music. But a lot of stuff, so thumbs up for the amounts of work :-)

Deserved win - and some really great looking scenes. However I would personally have left out a couple of scenes.
I really hoped that those mechanical thing introduced a complete twist to the story (ie. destroying everything or similar), but I guess 64k is a limit ;)

I would like to point out that as-usual, this was a last minute release, and cryptic was mainlining coffee to the point where the stack of cups fell over and he nearly wrote off velo's laptop. I found them leaning against it :-) meanwhile, I was pretty much done early, so I hit the beer when the quiz started, and was doing great until about 10 pints later, where velo came running out saying "there's a bug in the synth". It wasn't saving midi controller events :-) so that bug got fixed by me with one eye open. It was a simple bug, but it took me about an hour, and that was just logging in :-)

So the clipping - cryptic missed it due to lack of sleep. Final is coming.. I need to finish porting synth to linux, and meanwhile cryptic has poured coffee on his laptop. doh.

We hope that you will enjoy it.

Please note:
We have seen one case with some minor graphical issues due to texture compression when using texture quality low or mid running under wine. So if you experience any graphical glitches and/or have enough GPU memory, use texture quality high.

I love it! And kudos for doing a final.

My 6yrs old daughter loves it too - it's her favorite demo! Maybe I should create an account for her and vote. :p

strawberries trick was excellent
machine arms were boring and colors could have been less shockingly bright

Wonderful landscapes, pure visual poetry in 64k. Love the soft, hypnotic music as well.

So much to like about this. Strong artistic vision and story telling, so much more than just a random collection of scenes. Technically there is some really cool stuff with the texture and object generation, scene creation and animation all in 64k. I just love this, one of the best 64k ever.

I somehow never thumb this up.
Exceptional work!
I also like the somehow slower pace than usual demos.
It's great to watch over and over again and admire the amount of coding work put into it!

just found out today you dont need to fill in a job application for a sceneID anymore so ill go over the other 5 million submissions later. This must be an all-time favourite definitely (i mean everybody knows debris ...)

Most insane Demo I´ve ever seen. Now in 1920*1080, with a 16:9 Monitor. Still can´t believe what I see. 64 KB ? Come on. \o/

Classic, Love it! Remember seeing this back in the day and just re-watched, it holds up very well over a decade later!
