Bloc Us ! by benediction [web] & Brainstorm [web] [nfo] platform :   Amstrad CPC type :   demo release date : august 2011 release party : Evoke 2011 compo : wild demo ranked : 9th 25 5 1 popularity : 0 %   0.77 alltime top: #3592 [download] [soundtrack] [youtube] [youtube (live footage)] [mirrors...] added on the 2011-08-14 by krusty   popularity helper increase the popularity of this prod by spreading this URL: comments Apparently, there's not batman in it...   added on the 2011-08-14 19:02:10 by baah   No batman, but almost only first time effect on cpc (almost fullscreen kaleidoscope, almost fullscreen plasma, almost fullscreen rotozoom in 16 colors)...   added on the 2011-08-14 19:44:07 by krusty   Thumb down for releasing these effects before Vanity!!! :) And thumb up for being so active and bringing a fresh wind on the CPC scene. My only disappointment is the lack of finitions (same problem than Les Experts or Still the Bests!), I'm really attentive to that... Then: very cool to see that you level of code is rising, but take you time for the finitions of Wake Up!   added on the 2011-08-14 19:48:02 by Hicks   Live w00tage   added on the 2011-08-14 20:35:23 by m0d   no batman!   added on the 2011-08-14 21:42:23 by wood   Cool demo. Trakmo... music loader... nice effects and it automatically repeats itself. Yay :)!!!   added on the 2011-08-14 22:14:56 by Octoate   Enjoyed it. Also, ended up way too low.   added on the 2011-08-14 22:16:00 by Alpha C   Nice   added on the 2011-08-14 23:52:20 by Sir   @octoate: There is no musical loader ;) Everything is loaded at the beginning of the demo.   added on the 2011-08-15 00:02:00 by krusty   nice music !   added on the 2011-08-15 01:46:18 by porno-UZI   Yeeeehh congrats to Ultrasyd for the music, it's really well structured, any luck to get it somewhere else? Code-side, it's really a proof a great progress from you Krusty, and as Hicks already pointed it out I would say I would have expected some kind of polishing. Message to fullscreen coders : now that you proved you mastered line-to-line splitting for 2D effects (it was about time, Backtro went out in 2003 after all !) - I find it a bit redondant, I would love to see some kind of variations, not in the FX itself but in the way it's shown - cf, I know displaying a logo on top of the effect is impossible, but impossible is challenging, right? :) or on the left/right vertical side, .. whatever. Anyway, future is promising, great work in a quite small delay !   added on the 2011-08-15 01:49:28 by norecess   whata alpha c said   added on the 2011-08-15 01:53:25 by Saga Musix   I think you meant "block us!" right ?   added on the 2011-08-15 01:55:55 by hitchhikr   I liked it, especially the music.   added on the 2011-08-15 02:59:50 by stfsux   Nice job ! Music is awesome, graphics designed with an uncommon fashion for CPC, and code is clever. Just some lakes of polishing (transitions and the demo stops before the end of the tune), but I can understand why. And, ohhh, the vertical scrolltext is unreadable too :-).   added on the 2011-08-15 08:44:49 by tometjerry   @hitchhikr: Of course it is supposed to be 'Block us!' More info about the name in the nfo file   added on the 2011-08-15 10:06:32 by krusty   Nice, even without batman. ;) The music kicks ass!   added on the 2011-08-15 12:59:55 by baah   One more demo for Amstrad CPC is cool ! Especially with the soundtrack of Ultrasyd !!! : )   added on the 2011-08-15 14:59:54 by ViThor   Fast coded. Fast finished... Stranges colours. Argh ! Just some lakes of polishing (c) Tom&Jerry :)   added on the 2011-08-15 15:14:38 by Beb   Very nice CPC demo, the soundtrack by Ultrasyd is awesome! Very well done guys!   added on the 2011-08-15 17:23:25 by FishGuy876   It didn't quite do it for me. Kind of like "the effects are just thrown in one after the other". Great code, obviously, ace tune and nice graphics but they don't really blend together.   added on the 2011-08-15 18:17:02 by rexbeng   @Norecess : the soundtrack can be found here : http://ultrasyd.free.fr/Tracks/blocus.rar   added on the 2011-08-15 19:29:10 by ultrasyd   for doing the CPC   added on the 2011-08-15 19:45:01 by decca   For some reason it loads in winape32 and then stays there in the red screen. I might try tomorrow on my real CPC. From what I have seen in the live footage so far I like what is there. I think there is enough nice stuff to watch, can't wait to see it on the real thing.   added on the 2011-08-15 23:38:41 by Bugo the Cat   Well, after "Bloc us!" and "Still the bests!", we can say that Krusty did the first fullscreen (or almost) rotozoom in one frame on CPC. I think there are rumors that Vanity is doing a new demo with some similar rotozoom, So the rush to be the first to release the effect and make a little history is justified, but in return we have an unpolished demo (although a great job for only one month). About the demo, I like the technical side and attitude (specially the point of self-criticism, which I think is very constructive). Gfx and music are cool also (nice rhino drawing :), but, IMO, the lack of polish is the biggest drag, and reduces the overall feeling of quality. Anyway, a great contribution to the CPC scene, and congrats to all involved!   added on the 2011-08-16 02:22:24 by Rhino/BG   displaying none 25 50 100 all comments (1-25) out of 36 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
