This release has the config dialog, missed in the party version to avoid configuration failures :) Thanks for watching!

the visuals were really nice and although the music wasn't really my cup of tea i still liked parts of it.
imo the best spöntz demo and at least one of the best demos originally released for macs.

visuals are getting better and better towards the end, but the music is remainding me of some elevator-tunes.. :(
Like it !
Gorgeous. Merlucin, I am starting to like your piano ;)
I'd say this is the best spöntz prod so far.

ouch ... not my cup of tea. a few nice ideas, but overall lacks design (glowing type like that is way too 90ies -- and even then it sucked ;) ).
I like it, and the music too :)
Good stuff, I liked the music, and there were some really nice scenes. Really reminded me of planet risk in a few parts, which isn't a bad thing.
The spontz demos really need a config dialogue though, i'm getting sick of editing the config file by hand ;) Also, better widescreen support would be very nice. Oh, and a sync to refresh switch, to avoid tearing. (end of shopping list...)
Settings I used to get it running nicely in widescreen (in graphics.spo in the data folder):
gl_panoramic 1 (0 gets rid of the borders but you lose the sides..)
gl_width/height (set to a widescreen resolution, it ran nice at 1280x854 on my powerbook)
gl_rttwidth 1024 (improves quality if you have a fast 3d card)
Oh, how do i turn on AA?

Really good mood of the demo make my day!

really really nice!
this somehow rules
Well, a really nice demo ... though the music starts quite dull, it gets really enjoyable in the end, and quite fits the demo ...
Added with some really nice visuals in some parts ( though some quite arguable color choices ^^ )

Nice demo, everything fits together. Somewhat minor nitpick: please add vsync :)
Hi candent! I suppose you are watching the party version. The final version has the configuration dialog enabled (in control.spo) This is for windows only of course!
Just Great! Worthed the #1 :) Nice orchestral music as always, and idea and effects are really impressive. Congrats.
merlucin, he mentioned "powerbook" in the comment :)
Yes, and the powerbook is a mac :)
Visually appealing.
great effects. I like it
sweeeeeeeet
I eill put the coders to work on it asap then
How do you manage to be _this_ cheesy all the times? :) Cute anyway!
nice
nice and calm - I liked it better than the 1st place. And it even runs on Mac. Stay with that mood. techno sucks :)
I liked this one alot.
great trip as usual :) thanx!
first part of the tune has typical "schlagermusik" chords. other than that i like this too!
Simply lovely! :D
Beautiful music and idea.
rules :D
Very nice, as always.
I think there's a small bug in the windows version though. All stage layers appear too scaled and the left half goes out of the screen, so you can't read anything. I remember this didn't happen at the party.
By the way, Spöntz are the new Moppi. If I'm not wrong this is the 3rd time in a row you place 2nd at the euskal democompo :)

Not bad.
Beautiful.
aaah. this was pretty darn nice.
Nice, but needs serious work on the text layers
It's awsome. I liked it a lot. Some of the text are to fast, but it's really not to read.
Not the best ever, but it was quite nice to watch all the way through. The underlying theme helped greatly to hold everything together. However, something about the music didn't quite work for me -- perhaps it was the drum samples. Dunno.
All the same, very enjoyable. A keeper.

Enjoyed this a lot at party place, beautiful, long...
I like spontz prods more and more each time :D

Assholes, you stole my demo concept ;) Now I need to think of something else.
But aside from that, I can only say: Yet another delightful Spöntz demo. <3

Oops, forgot thumb.
It looks to me that you're always doing the same demo over & over again. Doesn't reach the quality of die änderung.
I have to agree with hitchhikr regarding the similarity with the other prods. Probably is just your style, somehow that one looks a remix of some of some of your prods, some effects from the lifeway (watereffect, greetings based in particles), some others from inferno (poser model falling in a tube), and from the pleasure of art (credits syncro)..
The loading is pretty scary, some graphics (beginning) had a quite bad jpeg compression visible on them, and the spontz 3D logo on the end doesn't really have a cute modelling to have that shine on it.
I think there are too many unpulished bits this time and also I missed the WOW effect combination you usually do.
So, sorry about that guys.. but piggy.. Looking forward for your next one anyway.

I will add this to the list of things to improve
it does not start on my mac (g5).
neon: try to install the sdl runtime library, libsdl.org or perhaps you have a too old gfxcard ?
neon, it should work on any G5 mac, just open the console (not terminal) and launch the demo: any error message will be logged there
Cute. Some colors were a bit too much but I forgive you.. ;)
I agree with bonzaj. I like this much more than the first placed demo at euskal. Pure Spontz style, rocks ;)
Wow. I love Spontz productions. So nice music, visuals, lights, colors! Beautifull!!!
Very great Spöntz!!!!
Love music, love visuals, love dreaming... zzzZZZzzz :)
merlucin has done it again!! ;)

Really pretty by moments!
lovely
Holy Shit... Fantastic Show - Really Great Music :)
Excellent idea well realized and overall a good demo but I feel the texts could've used a bit more styling, uses a wider part of the spectrum than I find tasteful and has lots of bright lights. Aside from those little complaints I enjoy it thoroughly. Close call.
In fact we have rewritten all the 2D painting routines to make the texts shine in the next prods :)
Great production, beautiful music, original concept, a very refreshing spot! <3
where is the EXE ?
sokoban: Check disk2 link :)
Eye candy
Beautiful!
that was nice to watch
