4k? :)
anyway, really cool intro

I guess because it's a 64k? :)
I will try to watch it again. I find the idea and lyrics very sympathetic at BP.

duckers: Where do you see a 4k intro here ?
oh, its a 64k :P sorry ;) still quite nice, but that explains a lot :D
If it was a 4k i would already be on my knees ;)
I just watched it again. I now love it more! The music is really great and I got the joke with the floor, hahaha ;)
Grats guys!!!
Grats guys!!!
i really liked the story and the machines in this one!
I liked the story too, I just wonder why it's so sloooow. And what it precalculates that much.
agreed with boyc.
methinks it's the softsynth (see b-clopd3d, same bufferfuckup, same speedloss, etc...)

apologies for the speed. I know both precalculation and synth are slow as fuck. time ran out to do some more optimization :( next demo will be faster I promise
the intro is cool.. but i just feel pain in my eye after watching it ;D btw interleave frame is a good idea to push higher the frame rate when the code it's slow ;)
forgot to vote ;)
I kinda liked it. Very good..
one of the best intros in the compo..
but i liked their prev intro "good evening" more, it was so athmospherical..

i found the music boring, the code extremely old and unfinished and that whole icemachine thingie wasn't entertaining, new or cool at all, sorry
the best part is when you move through the floor :) Anyways, the colours are rather nice and consistent throughout... I wish it moved faster, and that some of the motion was a bit more relaxed.. Sometimes it seems as though the intro thinks that it is moving to a rave track while the track is actually quite laidback.
one of the better machine-style productions! even with a story... entertained me in the compo!
get yourself some 3d scenes and have a camera move through them... and you get your next boring 3d flyby intro..
add some story/concept into that and some direct to audience text, and you transform the boring 3d flyby intro into a brilliant 64k.
Thumbs up all the way. I think it should have won the compo.

ok for the size, even with a long decrunching and a music like Jean Michel Jarre
A quite good intro if you need a break from those kick-ass fx shows. But why does it run that slow?
omg is ice a produkt too ? i'm flabbergasted.
yuck, that's ugly.
How it can precalc so much? One of the best in compo. Little bit boring so thats why just piggy.
It features one of the ugliest zoom-blurs I've seen so far. Piggy for the effort.
i liked this one during the compo. the moving-though-the-floor-part ruled :)
One of my favorite 64k demos. It's cool :)
Ugly and boring.
boring + ugly.
i don't like this at all.
the "we moving through the floor" gave me a laugh tho :)

This is a candidate for the ugliest-glowfilter-competition. sorry.
Well it was kind of boring, the colors were bad, the story not really interesting... But, yes, the moving through the floor part was great :-)
Ugly, imho. And it was too slow
While waiting it finished loading i've had a marvelous idea : i'll run the demo before going to bed, like that 6 hours later, the morning, i'll wake up with the lagging soundtrack... if it doesn't crash before...
- Good point : some scenes were nice, maybe too repetitive. I can quit pressing escape, this is fantastic. I have the time to open paint shop pro to copy past a screenshot and to close it at each frames before the next appears, it was really a good idea.
- bad point : we can't change the speed of this slideshow and the music seems to be eat by rats.
conclusion : that's a nice first production, maybe you'll come at the top with hard hard work.

It's very difficult to do a prod around the same theme. It's even more difficult to do it in 64kb. Cool idea, a bit long scenes and slow motion but it ran smooth in my old fashioned GF2 gfx card. Good use of colors (cold colors - consistency).
So, it deservers my thumb up. Cheers :)

Well I guess it's okay for a first production. Ditch the text though, or at least show it in a palatable font.
And yes, moving through the floor still sucks even if you know you're doing it. :) (that actually makes it worse, doesn't it?)

looong but cool loader with music
medium main music, a story can be explained by pictures only, no need to say all by words
some low fps for me, not smooth (GF4+P4)
ok prod

I liked it - and no synchronisation problems either.

Fine. The idea behind and the whole thing is looks good and really enjoyable. The music also great, but sure it is sloooow. Please make a remix like "fr06-even darker remix" and it will rocks and kick ass !
saga: can you spell self-irony :)
the overall idea is pretty nice, but a bit boring imho
i like it. it looked really good on the bigscreen. great improvement compared to "good evening". gets a thumb up
I should thumb down this one because of the code, design, precalc length, etc.
But it's soooo nice I cannot stand giving a thumb up :) Great idea anyway.
"Now you know how it works" :)))

I found it boring, and didn't like the design (a bit childish, imho).
thumb up for moving through the floor :)
How is it so slow? And why does the sound bug? But otherwise, a nice idea and I somehow like it.. The blur filter zoomer thingie is ugly as hell though.
doesnt like rage128. final wanted.
my computer refuses to download it
loves 9600XTs. good concept, albeit a few rough colors.
moving through the floor... oops, again... LOL!

A nice effort, even if it does get tedious at times. "Moving through the floor..." Ha! Love it.
One little point, I run my desktop with "large fonts" and this demo actually used this larger size, resulting in overlapping text and some cut off at the bottom of the screen. You guys might want to check that issue out in future productions.

Despite of the large fonts flaw, which also appeared in my computer, the idea is very nice :)
knoff hoff...
some scene a bit slow.
but this prods was good.

nice one
good concept, but oversynced 'strobelight' effect = instant 'esc' and thumbdown..
good concept, but feels like missing something.
Then, oversync 'strobelight' effect = instant 'esc' and thumbdown..

Cool demo. I like how it has a simple story.
you can do better, you proved it.
nice
Pizza piece, delicious. very cool story :)
Yes, Pizza with shrooms on it ..
miss piggy, please...
miss piggy, please...
love it
Nice one.
Damed - this one is not nice, its damned boring. I wanted to give it a thumb down, but i was too stupid for that...:P
Nice
Ah, I loved that one. No fancy effects, but the concept is really fun. Plus I liked the ground collision. ;-)
Very fun!
it'd be a thumbup, if there were no text in it
Flying through the floor :)
yep
Cool! :]
