twould appear it's still in the scene.org incoming directory.

I don't actually have the release zip, funnily enough, but here's a (temporary) link to the actual exe until the zip gets moved.

Sorry, it's really crap.

crap is the right word.

crap

Come on, it isn't that bad.
The music sucks and the mousepointer wasn't disabled but still no reason to thumb it down (using the C64 charset compensated it ;-)

the tro was not that bad, but the "music" destroyed, piggy

I quickly tried the version linked above on my 3yo laptop. All I got was a bunch of white-ish spots at the top of the screen. The music sounded like a 4K :\ and the whole thing hanged and killed my video settings ... so gar so bad. Will try on a more recent computer.

This was fun. Love the sync with the parachuters. :)

Very nice to watch for me.

I think this was quite funny.

I didnt like the weird black and white parts, but i liked the rest of it.

Strange but cool.

It's actually cool.

The asphalt "texture" and the spike ball don't really fit.

I wonder how much of that could be done in a 4k.

i second p01

neat

I quite liked it.

Fun invite, looks iso or lego, nice!

Very kewl prod!!! Music, imho, sux, but visual-effects, idea, etc - great!

style :)

Interesting: low quality gfx + simple postprocessing-like effect = quite decent result

i was missing some letters :D maybe corrupt .exe? :D anyways, was cool.. the music needed more fuck'dupness imo :)

i liked the black n white dots, black and white antimoney-like rendering, but as soon as colors appeared this thing turned into a horrid beast. music is kinda dull too. piggy

australia? is there people living there? oO

awesome 64k! i really like it.

The "crowded" city and the plane sequence were cute :)

I like it! It as a nice design and effects, and the music is not that bad.

Very fun and oldschooly. Gotta love the pixely 3D peds. I'm definitely there.

Oops... forgot my thumb. :/

This is crap and good at the same time.

after seeing the screenshot i expected something completely awful, but it was quite ok. although the rendering is mostly just painful for the eyes

Haha, actually quite funny.

the music was so unbelievably horrid that i had to press ESC before the thing was finished, sorry.

Hey! I loved this so much!!! The funny blocky rendering and the various wild filters (some of them reminds me of antimoney) with chippy music and great sync, that's so koooll, come on people!

nice one :)

This prod definitely worked for me. I loved the idea and the execution a lot. Great stuff!

Many god ideas included, but must of them are hard to see - or hard to watch.

good ideas and well done. just a bit too messy sometimes.

Generally fine - but not really a thumb up. However, it's a pity that the cars don't stop when the traffic light shows red...

nice effects, somehow between piggy and rulez... =)

great considering the last minute hack to get it done. Thanks ript, we owe you big time :)

nice :)

Good idea and nice effect!

totally roxorz. :D

cool idea, but a bit crappy :D

Haha, this is so cool! :)

This was interesting. Very different.
I liked it, but the fonts were screwed on my machine, and the music just wasn't good.

the music was so unbelievably horrid that i had to keep watching.

now i also seemed to have the same problem as ps (interestingly broken letters) which i thought was very fitting, but alas the syndrome disappeared on the second run.

gargaj/sinikk/ps/corrupt text people ... what's up with that? what's your cpu/gfx card? I can't seem to get it to do anything other than run properly.

... but then again, if it runs right the second time around, maybe I'll never see it fuck up.

could just be that it's time I started using hardware newer than 5-6 years old ;)

by the way, the music is awesome. you should have heard it _before_ (!)

x1600 mobility 256MB ram

I like it, definitely not crap. :)

gargaj: so that's not it ... cpu & os ? =)

ript: core duo t2400 + winxp with all recent updates.

p3, winxp, ati x800 pro

thanks heaps for helping out with the info!

you guys rock and my font code sucks balls =)

you live and learn.

awesome intro, love the retro theme, see you at syntax!

definitely cool!

the tune fits the scenes so well :)

cute

ripit:

Whoops, that didn't work. Here's the image:

That's a resized screenshot. The text is mostly unreadable. Video card is an ATI X700 Pro with Catalyst 7.3 drivers. CPU is an Athlon 64 3700+. All of the text is like that.

cool style.

sinikk: that looks pretty cool! Thanks for making the screeny - hadn't seen it quite like that yet ;)

if you're feeling extra generous with your time, try this version here and drop me a mail letting me know how you go (ript at disasterarea.net)

OK. Now, for some reason, it's working. The normal version, I haven't tried the one you linked. I cannot figure this out. I swear I just restarted it and it worked. Now I'm confused.

Great music!

Boring at the beginning, but ends nicely.

nice

my criticism is twofold:
- music needs more punch
- flow needs more punch (but this would sortof automatically happen when you'd use a shorter punchier soundtrack)

Ugly as hell but really fun concept. :)
