Looks good but is totally, absolutely, entirely, completely & utterly boring.

Maybe technical good, but oh so ugly and boring content.

good! but also boring.

Nice music for a 4K. First seconds i see it i thought it was voxel rendering.

beautiful cave with shaders, music gives the flow. I like it!

Good, but would have been great if the use of polygons were not that obvious after a couple of seconds

solid!

nice work but not a killer 4k

Good shit!

dunno if it's legit to thumb this up as i made the synth, but i guess its just a small portion.
not as good as it could be, but still very very cool!

stylish, good music = nice prod

The complaint that you lacked animation still rests, but it looked so pretty :)
rulez added on the 2006-08-13 23:03:04 by Shifter Shifter
I don't think it looks extremely pretty, the sparkling effect is very strange. Still nice.

Nice music and visuals but extremely boring. So back to the Amiga, Blueberry. :)

lill boring ye, but hey! its a 4k!

I remember watching this live and thinking how great it was. Superb job blueberry and team. Nice shaders.
rulez added on the 2006-08-14 02:20:35 by auld auld
good 4k, but i was a bit disappointed because i know you guys can do 10 times better, and i heard you'd worked on this for quite a while, so i was expecting something absolutely mindblowing. :)
rulez added on the 2006-08-14 10:20:21 by smash smash
Nice 4k... looks very good but yeah it's really a bit boring... but absolutely not worth a thumb down.

Gobsmacking stuff technically. also it looks nice, but I would have gone for something more technological in the first place to match the music. Maybe an icecave. I'm surprised it didn't win though. It was a clear winner to me. Cool when the diamonds grew out of the cave walls.

@blueberry : I wish you had animated the noise that makes the walls a bit more. Loved that crazy effect when you showed it to me in rendermonkey. :)

damn excellent, my personal party winner (of all prods).

loving it! don't understand why it became 2nd 4k prod!
rulez added on the 2006-08-14 16:46:00 by ewerybody ewerybody
excellent. coderpr0n meets eye-catchy presentation meets ace 4k music. would have deserved 1st place probably.

thanks for releasing it at evoke. hope you guys had fun and will come next year too!

Impressive 3ds player in 4k. Also the music was good. Best 4k I've seen this year.

Looks great and nice music also.

Pretty cool, though it's too long.

aye, this worked out quite well
rulez added on the 2006-08-17 12:14:49 by Duckers Duckers
too long for a 4k, music is nice but a little bit boring
rulez added on the 2006-08-19 00:14:26 by decipher decipher
Nice stuff but tunnels just aren't my cup of tea albeit I like the model.
added on the 2006-08-20 13:23:03 by waffle waffle
Those tunnels are so detailed. Are they voxels or something? The music was cool. Maybe I'd expect one more scene, but overally it's one of the most impressive 4ks I have seen for a long..
rulez added on the 2006-08-22 11:58:59 by Optimus Optimus
Nice one. Love the music. But,hope to see you back on the Amiga again.

nice chill out prod. too bad that the music sounds so odd at the beginning. it's good to see high quality 4k-s again.

There is a slightly updated version available from the download link now: The timing on slow machines is improved, and there is remix version included, done by Cheesy unhindered by the limited design visions of the coders. :)

[-] The screenshot looks much better than the actual demo, and that parallax mapping shader or whatever has some serious artifacts.
[+] Still I think it's quite enjoyable, colors are nice, and you have a 3d mesh (or kinda), cool! Synth & music nice too.
