Very neat. Great logo and music, yet some parts ran awfully slow here.

Yes, these tunnels are cool. I could fly for hours through them...

rulez added on the 2006-08-20 21:43:02 by d0DgE d0DgE
It didn't blow me away, but it was very good and a real treat to see some painted graphics in there!

It reminded me a little of 100% Prophets video demos, which is no bad thing, but the effects look a little under developed and had no real impact or modern day spin on them.

Beautiful demo though!
rulez added on the 2006-08-20 21:49:51 by Shanethewolf Shanethewolf
Yay for returning (:
yes, the second tunnel! and the twirly old 2d effect mapped to 1000 cubes in the beginning!
rulez added on the 2006-08-21 00:57:34 by linde linde
the music definitely helped the tunnel parts...

the speech was kind of cheesy, though
added on the 2006-08-21 00:58:44 by linde linde
it's ok. but somehow the music just is not my taste.
still, looks good enough for a thumb up.
rulez added on the 2006-08-21 01:34:14 by nosfe nosfe
It doesn't look code code pr0n, but this demo is just so full of stylism! I think the groups behind most demos are afraid to embrace the oldschool style. Either it's totally oldschool style, or nustyle.
This a modern demo in oldschool style, and I love it!

It was ok. Some nice graphics in it, the music wasn't as nice.
What I don't get is, how's this a "comeback"? Isn't this one basically another traction demo?

uhm, brainstorm guys, you might have forgotten it over the years, but the @BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZ stuff is only for textiles which got uploaded in a bbs. for a file_id.diz in archives you don't need it!
added on the 2006-08-21 14:30:17 by dipswitch dipswitch
wow nice demo... preacher you rock! haven't seen "oldschool" effects in such a refreshing manner for a while. really enjoyed the discoball-torii.
the music is not my thing, but that's because i generally dont like this style - but i guess it fits the mood.
there should be more text though! - greetings, partyscrollers and whatnot... would have gone well with the mood. the voice at the credits could have been left out though. :P
rulez added on the 2006-08-21 14:36:27 by dipswitch dipswitch
codewise it seems to be from 1995.
still it has style and looks good so thumb up

hahaha guys, it's nothing new really. has been like that in bbs times. and is, in fact, obsolete nowadays, just like the whole file_id.diz thingie. it's nice to have it still though, i fully encourage that. :)

Nice one...with kinda some serious oldschool spirit well done in the result!

Concerning the rest of the compo-entries this one here should have been voted way higher in the results. 3rd place doesn't fit the nice message in here!

Some 3d were boring but the 2d and other old 3d stuff were cool (esp that whirlwind with quads and the dot and flower tunnels). I quite enjoyed it!

- The flat-evnmaps looked a bit nasty.
- Somehow didn't quite capture that oldschool feeling perfectly.
+ Twister was sexy
+ cool gfx
+ Tunnel

is it supposed to crash after the twister?
rulez added on the 2006-08-26 12:42:27 by loaderror loaderror
sorry, but I was quite disappointed about this.. apart from nice graphics and twister, some parts looked really simple and "oldschool" has been done way better before

Not quite oldschool, not quite newschool, and it's definitely not 'kings of the playground'. But other than reading out the credits, I liked it a lot (especially, for some reason, the dots tunnel- maybe because there was a scene outside the tunnel for perspective/direction)
rulez added on the 2006-09-05 05:15:26 by crusader crusader
crusader: why would it be "kotp" ? I don't get your point nor the connection to the intro :)
added on the 2006-09-05 06:22:08 by keops keops
Probably because your intros became the canonical references for anything looking more or less oldschool on pc, which is a great achievement, imho. ;)
added on the 2006-09-05 06:53:22 by hitchhikr hitchhikr
Cool tune and nice gfx, but like Shadez said the effects were just way too simple and "empty". Not bad but I expected much more from such skilled people. Can't see any kind of a school there either, next time at least have a 3D blackboard or something. :)

nostalgia for mid-90s envmapped torii and dubious colour schemes? :)
i do rather like the music (ok, except the credits obviously) and some of the 2d - i just dont find it very nostalgic (although it does make me think "thank god we moved away from these colour palettes" :D) and i dont get any joy from the code/fx.

i enjoyed it, but trace made some good points in his comments about 1995 and while i disagreed to some extent that they applied to 1995 i think they do apply more here. great work but it'd be better to apply to attempting to do something that hasn't been done before.

the dot tunel and the likes feel quite stupid in a sky box as does the "flat shaded-still-phong-torus" stuff. when I dont feel a machine is not sweating at all when doing a stunt its quite a let down to me, like at this one... I liked the colors and the gfx tho.

It's a fine line between boring/ugly oldschool wankery and a fresh modern interpretation of traditional demo style. This one stays on the safe side of it :). Liked the music although I felt it was a bit overproduced.

Ah, I'd already forgotten about this one. The first and last time when I touched badschool. Not my finest hour by far, but it was fun to make something like this and it started my long career with Brainstorm. We'd been e-mailing with Axel and when he kickstarted Brainstorm again, I was brought on board. I wrote this from scratch because of that and didn't use any of the Traction base code. The newer Traction & Brainstorm "coop" productions used the Traction engine by Vulture until I finally wrote my own that I've been using since.

And for the record, I was totally against the vocal samples in the credits part ;)

Also, the title came from Axel and only now I realized how it works out. Duh.

behind its time on every front. even in 1996 and this would have rated 3rd
