Looks nice and polished, but visuals are super uninspired. Colours don't venture beyond black, white, red, cyan, and magenta. (I can only assume the coder picked these values.) The way the picture scrolled up and down amusingly reminded me of "Mega Maid" from my A500 days.

pretty decent.
piggie for beeing too short, having some small but annoying color overburn issues and no jingle during loader.

I seriously thought we were going to lose against you guys, good work from my point of view :)

On the bad side it could have better synch and purpose but whatever, it was a nice show.

doesn't work.
geforce FX5900 & win2k.
however, screenshot was nice.

the beginning looked much better then the end.

added on the 2005-06-19 19:37:24 by las

please give us a final with more sync and a better ending!
thumbs up and keep up the good work :)

yeah, i prioritized the interface to work with shaders over creating the demo content for this one, then i did the whole demo in a few hours.. and the sequencer is buggy! hence i couldn't get the synch exactly right ;)

got fed up with it at the end, sorry.. will maybe redo the ending/synch eventually (would that count as 'final' version?)- that mesh can be used better i think. colors for that one are not good.. anyway...

Nice presentation and gfx got beautiful colors.

Starts off promisingly, then descends into cheap trance and mostly slick but ultimately boring visuals.

Neat manga chick though.

two thumbs down for music and one for codercolors. No mercy!

sadly, it works here... ;-)
sorry. not good...

funny music. nice gfx. poor prod, boring visuals. sorry.

i think that's the worst music i've heard in a demo so far in 2005. the visuals were ugly and it bugged like hell on my 6800 (textures stuck, clipping)

sucks added on the 2005-06-20 07:51:05 by gloom

simple and dated looking (and sounding). and nothing interesting fx wise. quite nice manga picture tho.
oh, it chucked out a lot of errors about locking primary buffers etc on startup before making a window.. it ran fine afterwards tho.

Nothing amazing, but pleasant to watch. And it seems to run at the desktop resolution.. which in my case is 2560*1024 over 2 monitors. It ran surprisingly smoothly, and looked good like that, except the pic.. thats one fat manga woman ;)

quite enjoyable

rather cheap content, piggie

Blobs and picture rules, others are a bit boring. Is ok.

added on the 2005-06-21 18:53:13 by Optimus

Oldschool-like "megademo" with few parts with different rotated objects. Music is ok, but that strange rave solo...

added on the 2005-07-17 09:38:22 by Manwe

enjoy or dislike, anyway, here it is. Final version, perhaps works better on nvidia cards (never ever use aaline rendering with shaders, it's a bad idea) and less coder colors! :)
also better synchronization to the music in this version and a few changed effects.

added on the 2005-07-18 13:10:46 by jaw

I decided to enjoy tremendously.
Cool 2D and a looong time-warp.

won't run here
2500+, 1gb, R9800Pro

added on the 2005-07-18 14:26:53 by zeebr

radeon 9800 should definetly run it, check if you have latest drivers - needs OpenGL Shading Language which was recently added to the drivers..

added on the 2005-07-18 14:36:30 by jaw

black screen...
video looks quite good :)

black screen here too.. dunno, newest ati drivers, 9700 pro, 2500+, 1gb ram...

added on the 2005-07-18 20:17:54 by hcdlt

on my rad9800 it works fine,..
music deserves a big thumb up, pic is neat, and the rest... erm, is not my taste

great demo.works brilliant on my amd64 3000+, ati 9600 turbo with omega drivers

the music sucks too much.

sucks added on the 2005-07-20 05:07:34 by snxr

+ 2D Graphics
+ Music
+ Composition and Sync

- 3D fx

So its a thumb up...
But for a top prod. I think it needs:
-A theme or storyline, something to tell.
-Better fx, meta balls and tunnels aren't directly 2005, although it's nice to watch
- Or something that makes it different
