Sommerville by Nuance [web] [nfo] platform :   Windows type :   demo release date : april 2011 release party : Revision 2011 compo : pc demo ranked : 2nd 34 23 13 popularity : 1 %   0.30 alltime top: #2238 [download] [youtube] [mirrors...] added on the 2011-04-26 by Raven^NCE   popularity helper increase the popularity of this prod by spreading this URL: comments Ok, which crosseyed, colourblind, dutch, systems-programmer is responsible for the eyeraping colourscheme? I think effects were niceish, but frankly got distracted by the eyestrain-inducing palette. Sorry.   added on the 2011-04-27 03:31:07 by hornet   I get the feeling the ideas were there, but the execution was lacking in almost every area. For a crew with such experience, I expect more polish.   added on the 2011-04-27 03:45:46 by jonnyram   ok   added on the 2011-04-27 06:41:36 by bittin   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMAHRnA08yo   added on the 2011-04-27 09:02:06 by psolord   This was great! I thoroughly enjoyed the style of this one :). Solid production technically and aesthetically, very personal style and far from boring :).   added on the 2011-04-27 09:51:29 by elfan   Sorry this seems to be a collection of really bad ideas, very badly executed. There is almost no saving grace in this demo that borrows very heavily from very popular productions from ASD and Farbrausch. How could anyone think this was a good idea is beyond me. The execution is below expectations as several design and technical errors are made: * Same old over-saturated coder's colours * Same old "lets blur everything to hell" and post-processing flare overlays that obstruct view. The whole thing looks like it is rendered on a 320x240 buffer and scaled up with a cheap bilinear filter. * Particles intersecting with geometry in plain view. * Overdone vignetting that spoils any sense of immersion, by shouting "you are still watching a rectangular screen". * The kinect effect was ok, although there is a stray pixel at the bottom left; which means that you can now "see" the rectangular frame of the animating sprite. The whole feeling that I get from this demo is that it would kind of work in 2004 but not any more. At least that's my opinion.   added on the 2011-04-27 11:02:20 by Navis   What Navis said. It's very annoying to watch a demo and say "oh hey, I know this scene from somewhere…".   added on the 2011-04-27 11:08:21 by Decipher   I am trying to figure out what the hell the story is in this thing. Like, if you would try to explain to someone what this is about. First we see some fireworks. Then there's a street and something grows up the wall. Smoke comes out of a chimney. A person on top of a tower. Finally some sea animals or something. More fireworks. The end. I mean, seriously. I don't necessarily expect a Hollywood movie. But maybe, like... some sort of an idea would be really nice. That would certainly make it much easier to get the prod stuck in people's brains too. Just my thoughts on this :]   added on the 2011-04-27 11:33:31 by jazzman   I think it is about the transition of material into etherial and back. The man/woman is awakened, becomes a spirit; the trip is over and back to the streets.   added on the 2011-04-27 11:40:18 by Navis   crashes at loading   added on the 2011-04-27 11:40:27 by pista   What Navis said, plus the music is meh.   added on the 2011-04-27 12:27:22 by raer   I think Navis nailed it ... in both comments   added on the 2011-04-27 12:36:30 by d0DgE   Really nice Demo. Love it!   added on the 2011-04-27 12:59:53 by TMA   ok'ish...   added on the 2011-04-27 18:45:08 by moqui   Quite nice.   added on the 2011-04-27 20:10:10 by Mystra   <3   added on the 2011-04-27 20:16:01 by XT95^FRq   exactly what decipher said... and seriously, those colors...?   added on the 2011-04-27 21:15:53 by prm   seems to be a matter of taste. i <3 the colors and the code and the gfx and the demo. +++   added on the 2011-04-27 21:26:36 by necronomic0   I enjoyed it, color scheme is a bit off at times but other than that it's a nice demo. Good transitions and the music is nice too. Oh, and I liked the greetings part. :)   added on the 2011-04-27 21:34:58 by StingRay   mkay   added on the 2011-04-28 17:41:09 by Sir   Quote: There is almost no saving grace in this demo that borrows very heavily from very popular productions from ASD and Farbrausch. [..] added on the 2011-04-27 by Navis what the fuck.   added on the 2011-04-28 17:47:22 by Gargaj   Usually, my views are quite different from Navis' even if we're in the same group, but in this occasion I agree completely with what he said. and yes.. the "deja vu" quotient was through the roof...   added on the 2011-04-28 18:40:51 by aMUSiC   it's a very reasonable observation...   added on the 2011-04-28 18:49:49 by Navis   Tell me whyyyyyyyy ! ( Sorry i could not help )   added on the 2011-04-28 19:05:13 by nytrik   Good show but some textures are just ok, also some scenes seems a bit "empty".   added on the 2011-04-28 19:41:38 by BackSpace     previous page displaying none 25 50 100 all comments (26-50) out of 81 (go to first) next page   submit changes if this prod is a fake, some info is false or the download link is broken, do not post about it in the comments, it will get lost. instead, post about it. add a comment You need to be logged in to add a comment :: register here
