Quick last minute release. Something like NV 3070 or AMD 6800 perf class. Features working exit via ESC key for the first time.

It's definitively less polished than the one on Xenium. Albeit I know it was made in a hurry, it doesn't look as rushed never the less. It continually shows the power of the engine and the toolkit some of us in the PL demoscene know and saw already. Productivity is already a strong feature built into it.

But it's also safe and it seems that Deadline audience didn't appreciate safety that much as some other products that experimented less with tech, more with a message won here over safe demos done by people/group we all already know what they are capable of (same argument could be given to MFX this year).

I'd give it of of the top 3 positions, somehow together with Gaspode and ASD as my personal opinion.

Obviously less polished than your previous demo but the mood here is amazing. More!

A little bit overexposed for my taste buds, but sets a beautiful mood otherwise.

Again ticks the right boxes visually/aurally and creates an atmosphere of its own.

Can only watch the video here, but I could swear it had much more variance (noise) during the compo. Maybe it was just my lack of sleep..

Anyways great demo and worked so well on the big screen. Would have liked to see this ranked better. Keep them coming please.

Yeah, realized this after making the quick YT video. There is some audio-based distortion going on the floor, but the way it is implemented (just using the loopback audio input, basically what is currently being played by windows during a demo) it was not included when capturing the frames. I will do proper implementation for future demos and maybe re-do the video for this one.

Anyway thanks, glad you liked it.

So here's my issue.

I don't think the maximalism in the scenes (as in amount of stuff flying around) works with the kinda noisy rendering. I absolutely like the former and don't mind the latter - but in combination it's often hard to make out what's shown at all, and the choice of color certainlys doesn't help.

Weak thumb because it's definitely still good, but I'd love to see that style of yours a bit more refined next time.
