Nice title pic. I'll wait for more comments before I run it. Winuae is too much trouble if it's going to suck.

There's a video version at scene.org
Nice. These days, making such prods in ECS, it's just so brilliant!
i know the main goal of this one is to reproduce old cool fx, but this is too much ... still ok though
Big thumbs up for the efforts in presenting the kinda best of ECS effects. Great music also!
Quite good update of classic effects, some done better than before imo. However nothing huge here.
Why rank this when there are no results?
Nice release :)
Nice release :)
Because the awards ceremony was yestarday for this category.
pure nostalgia =)
Wow, wow, wow! Since ages, I had to see a good A500 demo with such cool effects!!!
This was well worth the wait, major rispekt.
Design is crap but the effects are waff and making an ECS demo in 2004 is outfockenstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the lightsourcing effect!!!

the fake gouraud is my fave along with the particle effect with the jormas symbol ;)
i go totally crazy for music :D :D :D :D

Cheesy 80's disco and recycled effects -- better than ever! I like it!
pretty effects, and great music as in all da jormas demos

I've just watched this on my cd32 and I blew me into my seat totally. What an awesome soundtrack...!

Kudos to da Jormas for releasing a quality A500 demo in 2004.
Great effects and music! It really is a nice thing to see an A500 demo today..
Just excellent music
great! I've already watched it so many times. Many creative effects like the shaded polygons.
Music, code, graphics. This one has it all!
It does well to see a oldskool-prod this days wich brings over a harmonic feeling, like this one.
I say YES to it !
I say YES to it !
The music...
Jormas, Jormas!! Rocks!
Oldschool rockers!!!
I don't like the music as much as everybody else but it is still quite enjoyable. Nevertheless amazing to see an A500 production these days!
Great!
I totally hate the soundtrack but the rest is good.
jormas rulz

yeah dude A500 will never die, however "lamps" in mine tend to fail, anyway i was enjoying effects that are domain of other demos =D
da jormas!
Nice one!
Haha, i find one of the 2 sneaky cdc's somewhat hilarious. :D
good
Well, what did you expect ;)
:)
fine flavor of jorma
criminally underrated
I like this waaaaay too much ;)
It's quite possibly the ultimate a500 demo tribute, stylewise.

Totally rules
Impressive gouraud shading!!!
last night i was raving
Nice recycling :P
the effect and sound department felt like the real thing, so thumbs up for that, but most of the gfx were too fake - blurry downsampled jpegs, googled images and truetype font logos. yuck! so definately not "the ultimate a500 demo tribute, stylewise" as high quality graphics are essential.
Super génial ! amiga rulez !
The final 3d objects looked ace
@hempest: Googled images and downsampled jpegs my ass. The credits happen to be accurate and the graphics were made by their authors for this production. Their "style" (or lack of it) is probably a matter of taste but your claims are way off.
i wonder why the hell i haven't thumbed this up already. fuuuuuuck!
Pretty hawt
Dynamic :)
Top!
...Men? :P
Fantastic work!
definitely pure coder porn !! really great effects code-wise !
with a little more polishing this could have been the best a500 demo evaR ;-)

...and, erm, HoW THE F*** do the final 3d objects work ? (I assume they are anims, but so many frames..clever depacker ?!) :D
hermes: stencil vectors.. filling each face with part of a fixed 2d image. it's the same basic effect done way back in mental hangover, just with much better "textures" now. :)
oh, and a thumb, if i haven't given one before.
oh, and a thumb, if i haven't given one before.
The music makes me scream of joy. Not to mention the style and the effects which are top-notch as well.
phoenix: so it works similar to this one ?
no, it's not even that complicated.. watch mental hangover, you'll understand it.
I also have to admit that I only watched the "blurry" video (my a500 is locked in a box in the other room :( so I couldn't make out the pixels..
but I do remember mental hangover very well ;)
cheers.

@vesuri: I can take back the googled images claim (that strange monkey pic looked kind of suspicious), but after viewing the demo again, the rest of my claims hold up pretty well, no matter if the graphics were especially designed for this demo.
the texture in the first eye part is just plain horrible, and the smudgy coloring in the iris makes it painfully clear, that it's a downsampled image (=not pixelled as it is). hence the "downsampled jpegs" claim. you wont see graphics like this in a good amiga ocs demo circa '91-94.
the major release logo has a commonly used (=boring) truetype font - I'm too tired to dig up the font name. the logo itself is just plain white text on black background. I'm pretty sure the font wasn't designed for this demo, but just typed in in a software like photoshop or psp. again: you wont see graphics like this in a good old amiga ocs demo circa '91-94, atleast not as the title logo, as they were usually carefully crafted.
(for me the graphics surrounding the major release logo created an association to the logo used in the title screen of the game stardust. compare these two logos and try to guess how they differ - not in just style, but how they are created.)
da jormas logo looks like it's a truetype font processed in photoshop in various ways. correct me if I'm wrong. guess what I'm going to write next? you wont see graphics like this in a good amiga ocs demo circa '91-94. I'm not saying it's a bad logo. I just doesn't look "right" in the context of the music, effects and the demo style (and platform) for the aforementioned reasons.
so way off my ass.

Classic Amiga Demo :)
@hempest: You're certainly entitled to a stylistic opinion and don't need to defend it. It was your googled image claim (and talk about jpegs) that had to be corrected since it was coming out of your ass. Thanks for taking the first one back and explaining the second one.
Since you seem to be interested: some of the images for the demo are downsampled from 24 bit images (but not jpegs, googled or otherwise, as you claimed) and then processed further by manual pixeling - not to look like those 1991 images you refer to but to look reasonable given the 8 color palette (in some screens). TrueType fonts certainly have been used and no one's ever claimed otherwise.
As said before, the stylistic decisions are a matter of taste. It was really never meant to look or sound like a 1991 demo. I wrote it to see if I could implement the effects I liked back then or not - that's it. I composed the music as it is since I like italo disco. I included graphics to support the code (since having something on the background often makes things a lot harder). For that I tried to use whatever I got from the graphicians in a way that they'd look at least reasonable given the memory/bitplane/bandwidth limitations in effect. That's really all there is to it.
Personally I don't mind if somone thinks the "style" is too modern or whatever. I'm just not very keen on having anyone claim things that are not true. Thanks for sorting that out.

One more thing - actually the only image I'm not sure about is the head in the zoom&rotate routine. You can ask PiirakkaMunalla about that if interested. :)
Superb, really enjoyable.
Awesome tribute.
a nice demo
Yeah.
This is really a masterwork. The music rocks, and the demo looks really like the AGA ones!
Oh yes the music. Great vectors too.
KILLER - An oldschool demo that kept me entertained the whole way through :D
Very nice.
Very nice.
Blew my mind on my ram512kb Amiga 500!!!
Very similar to AGA demos :-) from 90'.

kicks ass
Unbeliavable on A500
nice
great all round, music is catchy with great effects for ECS.
yes
could have been done in 40k ;)
For the zic and the fake gouraud. The rest was really too much recycling to my taste.
Nice!
Indeed
me loves.
Outstanding!
Just sooooo nice....!
Italo disco, you got me! I can't help, i like the track and the overall tone of the demo! Nice work vesuri. Enjoayble every second.
It roxxx hard!
Thumb up!
Cool! :)
rocks my a600 hard
Hah. A demo recreating 10 year old effects, that is itself 10 years old (or will be in August).. :-)
Thanks for this f**in' great track Vesa! The way it should be.
Actual major releases for OCS are few and far between, and this is a good one.
It stood out as a genuine surprise when it came, so it was selected for the demoshow at Datastorm 2014.

One of my Fav!
Good.
Nice demo-effects and the music is superb!!!
Ruuuuuuules!!!!
Pretty excellent! Genuinely surprised it came second.
fresh
Forgotten thumb. Still cool and fresh.
Music is oh my. Other things are okay.
Nice demo
Great Design, atmospher and music :). I Love it.
There was a time when I watched it over and over again on my A500 :)
major release
Great demo
esaeler rojam
Feels good to watch it. Many nice and tweaked effects from the 90s.
The music - first irritating but one can really get used to and even enjoy
it after a while - sounds highly familiar to me. Is it a cover version of a
popular (Italo?-)pop song from the late 70s / early 80s?
