One of the best demos for C64 in this millenium.

Great! Tunes rule!

IMO the best c64 demo this millenium.

much content, good gfx, only the music is rather weak imho.

Sweet gfx, nice music and cool effects.. the 64 still has it.

quite a nice demo... a bit unbalanced though and too long...

something's wrong with the loader. on a real c64, it says "you are trying to run this demo on an emulator". it offers a drive test that fails on two different real drives (1541, VC1541) and succeeds in VICE. you can probably guess the rest... the demo itself crashes after a while on the real thing, while it runs just fine on the emu.

anyway... great fx, great gfx, great sound, thumbs up.

Don't know how to edit it.

Everybody who wants to transfer&run this demo on real machine. Please read isntructions at www.c64.sk (4.december 2002) to prevent the problems.

At the beginning I didn't knew about 64ever nor about their long awaited demo. Then I had seen the thumbs and big words on this site, wowa I said, it looks promising. Downloaded the thing and sat down to read the note. These guys are DEMOfreaks, they say it big, doing it because they know how they would like a DEMO looking like! Crazy freax yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

And as I run the demo, the beginning blowed me up! It was good enough to keep me warm, till the Doomsday part it was amazing. So much graphical work, great effects (first rotozoomer, zoomer fade ala boost), great design and flaw with the music, fast paced, nice white haired girls :)
Then, especiallly at the 2nd side, felt like the next parts where taking more time, making it more boring waiting for the next effects,. they didn't faded fast to each other,. but the first impression of the beginning and the lot of gfx and good code and big work kept the feeling. Thank god the final outro showing pics of each part from the beginning and credits made my day again.

Continuous flaw trackmo, only if the next parts at the 2nd side mainly did take less time. But it really made my day. Reading their story at the note also and knowing now it was worth the 3 years time..

Sometimes new good productions are making my day and can bring people back. These days I had months to code. My only project my 1st CPC demo. The two CPC demos released plus this C64 one made me wanting to continue with demomaking. These prods are what I call refreshing...

What I want to say is that it's fucking best!!! Till the beginning I couldn't beleive what I was seeing! Story, design, gfx, flaw, effects all fited perfectly. I wish I could share my feelings with the creators (perhaps I could send them an email? :) but their demo touched me and made me thinking various feelings..

Now I know what to vote. Gimme mags, Domination, Vandalism News, Sceneworld, Attitude 2 fill the charts. These guys deserve it!!!

P.S. Sorry for my enthousiasm...

Short verdict is that it's brutal. Long one is that it's *really* brutal so why are you reading this and not watching it? =-)

i have transferred it a few times, so far it has fucked up on my c128d (this i would have expected), on two c64's with 2 different 1541's and on my sx64.
i can see that some hard work has been put into this, i am very impressed by vip's effort, i just wish he would keep away from the titty pixelling for a while.

the negative things are that i cant get it to work on my c64, that a few effects are used two times in different ways and that the concept seems to get lost somewhere along the way. but anyhow, this is one damn good demo with a bit of an own style

lub this one.

*sigh* so here are the insructions, please do try them if you have problems. The loader is very fast, but it's unfortunatelly very sensitive. TO ENSURE THAT THE DEMO WORKS ON REAL C64 DRIVES DO THIS: 1. FORMAT BOTH DISK SIDES USING SLOW FORMAT: (OPEN1,8,15,"N0:NAME,ID":CLOSE15) 2. USE THE SAME DRIVE FOR FORMAT/TRANSFER/RUNNING OF THE DEMO 3. TRANSFER THE D64 USING STAR COMMANDER SET TO NORMAL TRANSFER SPEED 4. IGNORE THE EMULATOR DETECTION MESSAGE, IT'S FAULTY. 5. RUN THE DRIVE TEST. IF IT PASSES, YO! THE DEMO SHOULD WORK. 6. YOU ARE LUCKY GUY, RUN THE DEMO AND ENJOY!

Do you want to lend you my keyboard for a while? :)

Sorry, I've capitalised everything in my last message just to be sure nobody will miss it ;-). If these instructions fails contact Raven, but they worked for me. ;-)

Love this one!

Here's my post from CSDB:

Finally this demo has been released - especially after following the production a little (due to Vip being a Padua member as well), I could not wait to see the final result.

I simply love it. Great style and design, the mood is almost carried consistently throughout the demo. The transitions and the timing (music & effects) are great.

Also the introductory story line is quite nice - unfortunately it seems to end after the beginning of the story (the girl is sucked into the computer) - we seem to be stuck inside the computer together with her. I was sort of expecting some type of continuation or ending for the story ;-)

Great work, Vip and Raven are showing how to blend code, music and graphic to a unique design. It would be great to be able to creat moods and introduce more storystelling within future Padua demos as well.

Great demo, I love the interlaced rotozoomer!
I really respect the effort put into this.

creamd, i've already tried that so screw you and your capslock button :)

Somehow I don't get why a coder can rant so obsessedly about a fast loader that sucks that hard... I seriously doubt that a normal 2bit irq loader without ATN or such crucial disk controller timings wouldn't have been enough.

Anyway... the music was somewhat too empty, but the demo itself was really enjoyable. No 4x4, a consistent theme (woohoo) and all that. And even non-trivial effects. Yeah, thumbs up.
