Beautiful demo
rulez added on the 2003-08-10 10:36:03 by dEpressio 
Not my favourite asd demo, but still, it's a very good one.
A wonderful production. Well Done Guys!
great one. beautiful work on the transitions.
Overall a nice production.
Didn't quite feel that the middle part fitted the rest. A bit slower and smoother camera movement would have made that better imo.

nice : but please do something about your music
Very nice, and I love the music
wow!
i like it quite much
great visuals once again, but the music was ruined by that cheesy guitar :/
Nice visuals! Very nice transitions. Soft music. Very well done.
nice demo. a bit dark for me and the middle part is very slow on my GF2 making the sound crispy. the music is nice, i don't hear a problem with the guitar, the solos are cools. It changes from pseudo experimental boring things.
Farking Sexxxy.
Note : this demo did not rank 4th, i have made a mistake. Results have not been announced yet.
Wow, it rocks !
It runs very well, even with a geforce 2, the design and the overall graphic ambience are in one of the current demoscene "tendance" (read: splines, and rendering-to-texture blending effects), all very well made (it's rare). Good job guys, I hope you'll get a nice rank.

Very nice transitions. Maybe a bit too blurry :)
Good stuff, but some parts looked a way too messy on the big screen.. Then again, the screen sucked. I'll have to check this on a PC before thumbing it up.
as usual.. great code effects but boring..
quite boring additive blending show with a terrible tune that sound like 1992 4CHN symphonic rock... not my cup of tea...
Total demo, I have saw a thousand demos but while watching this my mouth stayed wide open..Outstanding graphic and transitions, total soundtrack by Amusic, (better than his superb track in EoF)...One of the best demos I have ever seen
Lol Zafos, you got it right :)
nice one.. the music rocks. congrats for the 4th place dudez.
And my comments: Yes, the music was superb!
Heh zafo, we all bitched at you for your "preliminary" ranking... who could've guess that you're a psychic... well navi's comment on the big screen says it all.. "See you next year"... that's a call for duty! Thank you for everything.
Really great.
I liked this very much. Beautiful "blending" work
whoah whoah whoah... I had to watch this demo twice, because the first time I was so damn fucking impressed by the music that I paid no attention to the demo... I only listened to this fabulous music.
Second time I watched the demo, and found it really excellent.
This is definitely a big hit, imho, I purely love it, congrats dudez

My favorite combined demo of Assembly this year. Just the mosaic part didn't seem to fit, but otherwise very cool.
Like previous ASD demos, this feels so fanciful and dreamy with a continuous flow aided by subtle transitions. The music is also outstanding - as always. A real pleasure to watch!
some interessting visuals here and there,
but bad colours and lack of ideas.
but bad colours and lack of ideas.
I'm a big fan of ASD, they have a very unique style where they the screen is always filled by a lot of different effects. As always, impressive transition work. Their music is always 'different'. It's not the prod i've liked most from them, but this one is very good. Keep up the good work
huiyeah! a journey through... stuff! ;)
Very good demo, but I don't really like that kind of music.
I really like this one. Music is great, visuals are beautiful. A "must see" for everyone. VERY good job guys.
Again an excellent demo with the usual great transitions. Also the music is quite good.
From the technical point of view a nice demo. But the design was just too random. If there was any...
Fucking loved it. ASD has a way of avoiding 'jaggies.'
On the other hand, I'm pretty certain the 'A' in ASD stands for Alpha-blending...

Wonderful music and as always lots of effects. Lacks a bit on the graphical side but should definetly have been top3.

The thing that struck me in the compo was that this demo seemed running extremly smoothly, and it wasn't just the fps, this demo really flowed. It seemed to suffer from a bad case of coder design tho. Can't choose between rulez/ok before seeing it again.
Grate so I watch the demo that it helps me to make semen!! hahahaaaaaa! :)
Absolutely f****ing awsome!!!! :) Wonderful dream theme, and a great mood. Soundtrack was amazingly well delivered complimenting the scenes perfectly. Very very nice.
very fluid show, sometimes too fluid maybe...
very smooth - very stylish, cool atmosphere. really liked this one.
Awful crap. Should've been in bottom5 instead of top5.
I don't like colors in some parts, but overall feeling is very good.
"applause with standing ovation"
Great work! Amazing smooth transitions wonderfully combined with the music which was unique and the colours very well picked. Dark atmosphear.. a fabulus dream indeed.

I like it. Has an almost photographic quality to the visuals -- nice use of depth of field. Music is not to my taste tho.
my fav from assembly... i can only say... woah!
nice stuph
Best one from assembly I've seen so far (and i'm working down the results list :)
Amazing work, almost pure effects all the way through, with great design too :) The music let it down a little (a very small little), but only cause I don't like the style.

one of the best demos!!!
The music doesn't match the first seconds of the demo, but the rest just ...rocks! ;-)
A must see.

ASD are back with their most mature production so far. Building on top of their traditional quality of blending spectacular effects with transitions, producing a unique experience that few other groups can achieve , they added a more consistent color scheme and a musical score which mixes several known styles into one quite original sound. The result is awesome, a five minute trip that indeed can only be described as a dream.
An incredible piece of work for ASD. Congrats!

damn those greeks!
ASD did the trick once again :) Well Done Guys!
This should've ranked higher. The design, art, music, and pacing on this demo are extremely tight. The effects are highly stylized and original, and the colors, like Edge of Forever, are beautiful. While I can't recall a specific visual in this demo that burns itself into your brain (like the fish with the glowing eyes or the hand of God in EoF), the presentation is extremely consistent, impressive, and most of all, doesn't drag on and bore you. Excellent work.
I like the music very much this time, but the effects works more like background effects that really doesn`t show anything i will remember from the demo.
I watched it again in home a lot of times and I want to write some comments now. What I don't like is the overused blending, so that I can't recognize what is running on in the screen at some parts. Edge of Forever had much more admirable parts to remember. In this demo my favorite ones are at the beginning with the distorted face, but mostly with the head, revealing a bright light and the eclipse, exploding to the great crystalized tunnels! But no more. The music made me love this demo and it's full of emotion, used and this presented very well in the demo. However, it will be my favorite ASD demo now.
Very good looking demo! Visually amazing! nice effs and ok music. Creates well a dream-like atmosphere...
rulez
good
Waouh ! Wonderfull !
I love ASD demos but here ... I don't have words to describe it ! This demo is one of my favorite now ! If you want to introduce people to demo, begins with this !!!
How could you be better guys ? I couldn't imagine !
The music is impressive, the GFX, the colors are great but sometimes difficult to understand. The code is correct.

ASD uses great changes between each scene and gives you the idea of a cinematic atmosphere.
They can be our guide to create great demos.
Congratulations and keep up the good work

Great graphics,
fast code,
very nice artwork,
nice music,
BUT it has some parts where attention to detail was not sufficient,and these are quite obvious and bad looking to me.
Ovrally nice production and when compared to the rest of the party prods,i think it should have scored higher.

Gets a thumb up for the visuals, though I don't like the style too much and the music is not my taste
One of my faves for Assembly'03.
At least it's a real scene demo, not a "story" demo (like Legomania and Ix).

Anyone interested in the non guitar version ?
Zafos : You will NOT give out the non-guitar version.
I'm up for a non-guitar version.
Zafo, the demo has been presented to asm03 as it is *WITH* the guitar. A non guitar version of the tune only will be relased if and *ONLY IF* ASD as well as I feel like releasing such a thing. We (ASD) have discussed this issue on the very same day that the demo was released, and agreed against releasing the non-guitar tune. If we ever release it you as well as everyone else will be informed from ASD on this thread.
The most powerful demo in the compo for sure. It resembles VIP2, one of my all time favorites, in many ways. Though, the spooky voice gives me the shiver. What is he saying? I'd like to do a demo like this some day, without the spooky voice though. ;-)
Anyways great demo, a favorite from Asm'03.

I believe that this demo should stay as it is for ever and ever.
If anyone except ASD dare to change even a pixel of this demo he should get punished.

If you release a NonGuitar version, I will simply never download it.
Ok.. it's official now.. I'm spooky and I give people the shivers.. =)
MRI, I can e-mail you the lyrics if you wish so.. or I can even post them here if the rest of the team has no objection into lifting the veil of obscurity from that part.
Some random verses from the female vocals are included in the .nfo file.
I am not a product of your dreams...

Only one question remains: why didn't it won?
because it's just so disconnected from any kind of class/style.

The Demo Ruled the dreams of all...a big thank you to the crew which let me contribute to this wonderfull demo...

Awe rite.. here are the vocals...
I am You Male Vocals (aMUSiC):
I'm not a product of your dreams,
I'm not either injected into your fantasy
by some conspiracy or diabolic plot.
I was, I am and I will be
a part of your crystalite world.
Omnipresent, spreading my roots
deep into your nightmares.
I cannot be removed.
I am just there.
Because I am, none other..
than you!
I am You Female Vocals (Lisa):
You are a dream.
You are the whispering twilight,
shining into my world of illusion.
You are the warmth of my mortality,
A moment in time.
You seek after me.
You are forgetfulness,
but you are forgiveness also.
You are the child I wish I had been,
the innocence I could never recapture.
You wish to embrace me.
You are but the candle's flicker,
yet you can set my heart ablaze.
You cried for me,
yet not one tear has reached me.
You need not despair.
You'll be there still for me to long for.
For you to be reflected,
into the stare of my loving eyes.
For you to be dreamt of.
For you..
am I.
.. did anyone say there's no concept in the demo? =)

At first I thought this was a coders demo. Don´t know why, maybe due to the colors. But this thing is really great. Fantastic. I love it.
aMUSIC, thanks for posting the male voice lyrics. Interesting.
I don't remember telling that i'll give any non guitar version. I asked if anybody is interested in it.
wonderful!!
i adore the guitar solo

My biggest problem with the guitar is that it sounds so.... hobby. A sort of boy room-ish and cramped sound, apart from the rest of the music which sounds crisp and "wide". More work should've gone into making the guitar sound more "united" with the music.
But that is my only gripe. Everything else simply kicks!
But that is my only gripe. Everything else simply kicks!
...the music...whoa...
ilm's comment about the guitar is the only constructive criticism I've heard so far, and that's something I'll definately pay close attention in my next guitar co-op tune with Leviathan. The "boy room-ish" comment almost made me fell off my chair.. yes indeed it was recorded in a boy room =)
first; the music-replayer must be buggy because it jumps and clicks throughout the demo.. but let's put that aside. the übercheezy pitched-down-speech in the beginning was so lame i almost pressed esc right there and then. :) the rest of the music is not bad and the guitar wasn't that bad. regarding the visuals - is render-to-texture just an excuse to make dirty and ugly blue things nowadays? it's. not. pretty. the effects themselves were good, just too bad that shoddy camerawork never really let's us see them. all around it was way too blue and it didn't seem very well planned.
now; what the fuck is with my long commend? :)
now; what the fuck is with my long commend? :)
I guess MRI is right after all.. if my voice can pass as pitched-down, then I am spooky and give people the shivers. Actually the voice is pitched-up a bit as at some point the tune went through a 5 percent speed increase. As for the music-replayer.. I don't think anyone ever complained about fmod before.. there must be something wicked with your configuration.
you've never heard of anyone having complaints about fmod before? wow, that's a first. :) well, your demo is the only one i've seen the last.. two years or so, that stutter like that, so i doubt it's my fault. :) ..and your voice; thanks for not pitching it down (that blows) but it still sounds lame.
i've never heard anyone, except firelight, praise fmod :-) I guess to only reason why people tend to use it is that it can be plugged into any codebase in like .. 5-10minutes :-)
gloom, what is your configuration? It is a ripe possibility that your pc is not powerful enough to render the graphics on time, and this drags the sound along with it. Of course something else might also be going on. I do not know how fmod works since I'm not a coder myself, so i guess navis would be the right person to make accurate assumptions. On my config (athlon 900 / Gffx5600) the demo runs smoothly with no stuttering at all (either video or audio). Ah, the music is compressed using ogg vorbis. Try to play the music by itself and see if it suffers from stuttering that way.
Rasmus, the fact that it can be plugged in the codebase in like 5-10 minutes and that it can replay .ogg as well as that it saves precious time in the development are indeed the reasons we chose fmod as the sound replayer. =) But if we are to talk about fmod we should open a bbs thread. I'd much more prefer to see comments on the demo on this thread =)

I will use fmod. The reason is because all my friends in the greek scene used it and recomended, so I can do the shame and ask for help if I want and I'll be able to play music in even less than 5 minutes :)
But why is it bad? I'd like to know..
I have personally heard it's very fast and supports many formats.

regarding fmod: I have heard complains about both prods I released with fmod about clicking sound, although my 2 computers always runed them (and dreamchild of course) without any problems at all.
However even if we assume that the clicking problem lies with fmod (which I doubt) just the fact that it's so damn easy to use and well designed is enough reason for me to continue using it. In fact it must be the only library that I use without even considering wrapping it with my own interface and that says a lot.
People should look to fmod as an example before designing library interfaces and APIs

I have Amd 2100+ with 512MB RAM and GeForce 4MX 440(By Creative).
I watched "DreamChild" over 10 times
and because of my GeForce weakness it get's slow in the tunnel scene but the rest of the demo is quite good.

One of my all-time favourite productions. It's rare to see a demo that's a coderprod, a designer's dream and an aural delight at the same time. I want more!
not much style
but effects look good.
but effects look good.
Possibly one of my fave demos now. The effects are plenty and very abstract. ASD pwns me.
Sweetness! But... was that a Poser head my eye spied? ;) Anyway, the fx and scenes are very nice, and the music was a very cool rock opera ballad style thing. But somehow (and this is my opinion) the vocals didn't mix too well into the music... It didn't have the same mastering as, say, a 'Fall Equals Winter', or 'Elements'. Well, thumb up anyway.
Why haven't I commented on this? Btw, This truly owns! Release more demos, quick!
Its realy good...aMuSiC and the other team Keep tha gooD job...and beers
A few parts felt slightly flat, like they might have benefitted from being in a different sequence... or maybe the music needed a little more bass here and there... Still I like it enough to comment... definitely worth seeing. :)
I needed to watch this one 3 time to be able to vote, so here is my thumb up! A bit boring, but the flow and effects were impressive :)
This is one of the deepest and most beautiful productions I have seen. I remember being impressed when I saw it over the Assembly 2003 web broadcast. Now that I have a video card that can run it at a decent FPS, I am totally blown away. Nice work! 
nice, although mostly not my style
The music! Amusic is a genius! The strings worked so well, and later on the guitar managed to synch to the classical part very well.
The visuals also managed to hold the rest of it together, in particular around the eclipse scene.

i enjoy watching this demo. good job.
FMOD actually clicks, MINIFMOD does not. You might also try BASS since it has a very similar interface for simple purposes.
THE BEST DEMO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASD ROXX
Dreamchild has been nominated for the best soundtrack award in the scene awards 2004. Leviathan and I will probably be at Breakpoint for the ceremony so if anyone of you is going to be there as well, drop an e-mail =)
I especially liked the guitar, but as others have pointed out, it sounds as if it is not affected by the same hall effect that the other instruments are. I also think the female voice should be more disorted, like being pitch shifted upwards about two-three semitones.
Nevertheless, the music is one of best I ever heard in a demo.
And the visuals are also very good, which makes this simply a great demo!

Adding a bit to the "behind the scenes" of Dreamchild, the female Voice was recorded with a crappy SB microphone with loads of clicks, plosives and cpu-fan noise. The recording took place in the UK and I got a set of several takes in .mp3 format.
I really went through hell and back to remove all extra noises, and make the waves sound decent.
Oh yes.. I am you.ogg has travelled the world to become what it is =)
(Hey Lisa, if you ever read this, thank you for your great voiceovers)

WOW!
ASD continues to amaze. I have to agree with the others, though -- there are a few parts in this that just don't work well (IMHO the first "letters" part, the tunnel part and perhaps the greetings part) and destroy some of the overall fluidness. Still, I love the style and the smooth transitions between everything :-)
Fucking great music. Very much like Nightwish :)
I didn't rate one of my favorite demos???
aMUSIC is god! ;-)

Anyways, an absolutely entrancing demo!
I must've looped the track about 100 times already =)
Unbelievable. I'd give a cdc if only I had a few more... Guess it's time to go glop hunting =P

The music!
i can't believe i still don't thumb it up
the music...it makes you feel different, makes you drown in your...memories? feelings? incredible.
good job.
music doesnt sound like nightwish. not at all cheesy lyrics, but transitions (how scene changes) ... one word: wow. somehow this demo seems too blurred sometimes and also lots of glowing. but its not bad demo, i think its worth of thumb, i dont have no crits except lyrics and maybe that one picture with ladies in beginning should be removed.
Nice.
It took me one year and a half to like the music but better late than never :)
omfg!
What makes this demo different and in many cases better than the "usual" demos: It doesn't look like one. It looks like an animation.
I guess the difference is: In this demo the computer graphic is used to visualise. Most times a demo visualises computer graphics.
Thumbs up! This is a masterpiece.

Great work. Sometimes overlaying effects can go too far but this demo makes it in good way. It gives a dreamy feeling. One can see Planet Risk coming ...
A great prod, ASD always rocks.
.the product will make you happy!! :)
after watching this demo nth time you remember nothing (unlike edge of forever) except that it's blue. (that's a good reason to watch it n+1the time.)
the music simply rocks. it creates a wonderful atmosphere.
it as one of the coolest tunnels. and the black pointy overlay just before the greetz is great.
there is only thing that makes this a coder demo: it runs fast on low specs. (by its release year)
i'll remember it as a blue demo.

and few demos bring tears to my ears. the song is beyond the thumbing story. i love it.
Great demo, great soundtrack. I need to re-watch(is there such word in english?;) ) all Assmebly 2003 to understad why this demo isn't number 1.
Please DO NOT dear to remove guitars in Your future productions;)
Please DO NOT dear to remove guitars in Your future productions;)
Good stuff, partly a bit too messy for me.
I have to admit, this is one of the best demos I've ever seen... incredible design.
Excellent work. The babys head is too much but everything else is wonderful. I rarely thumb up anything beyond 64k but the design and feel here were "scene" and deserve a thumb up.
so futuristic
One of the best things about the BASS concert 2006 - one of the 87 million great things - was the joy on Leviathan and Amusics' faces during the song. Also, Amusic saved me from having to do the last bit of lyrics which ... yeah that wasn't gonna happen (:
While the soundtrack is one of my favourites at nectraine, the demo isn't that good. Or maybe I'm just a bit too tired.
Rocked my world FULL POWER!! The visuals are astonishing and I have absolutely no words to describe the music. Super demo!
didnt like the music & everything too random....still its technically great
i like this.
asd's tech level rocks

to aMUSIC and Leviathan: guys any chance to get the soundtrack without guitar part? I would like to play the guitar part by myself ;) anyway great music and great demo, keep up good work! :)
The soundtrack is awesome. Is there any way to get the lyrics? Anyway... thumb up.

Oh yeah! Excellent music, and I love the use of 2D graphics. Brilliant demo!
Still the bestest ASD demo! It's better not to watch the graphics but the soundtrack is totally super
Nice music and very pleasant visuals.
epic
Awesome. Can't get out of my head.
Epic :)
Great demo by ASD - really cool transitions.
Pure energy with awesome sound track!
btw. The voice reminds me of Liquid... Wen? by Haujobb - .I'd rather be nothing.

my favorite ever. Defines the genre for me, and the music was only ever surpassed by Shpongle. Coup de couer, if I had a heart to give.
Thumb was missing.
Delicious! Not ASD's best but I love their style. A bit incoherent at places but that's what you get. Regarding the guitar, a bit can be done on the production but I'm impressed by aMUSIC's instrumental skills (or whoever played the guitar). I love the lyrics and everything. Thumbs up!
I watched this on a lesson about the demoscene at a university in berlin.. Digisnap showed that one, and man that was impressing.. for me the best demo of the show..
A lot of great work, but in the end just a rather boring demo. Visuals and the soundtrack coexist at best, but do not work together at all
A captivating show. I especially like the faceted tunnel part. A shame that one is glitchy on some machines.
yes sir
Just to send many thanks to ASD for their work.
Dream Child will be always my all-time favorite demo of every computer i have been on (and i have been on a lot !!)
This demo is just magic ! It's so pure, colorful, creative.
Of course, i dont discover it yet. I know it since 2003 ! But i got a brand new screen and im watching my favourite demos and Dream Child is so kicking-ass again on it !!!
Just wanted to share my feelings :)
Thanks again ASD for making that possible.
Btw, i loved your last demo. It's also wonderful but not as magical as Dream Child hihi ;)
Peace my friends !

One of the greatest. I always use this for introducing non technical people to demos.
Another piece of art by Amusic! The whole demo is a bit messy for my taste...
One of my all-time favourites :)
very nice demo. first time for me today, 7 years later. still considered a quality production compared to todays standard. amongst the all-time top demos
This demo still rocks. Impressive for a demo so old.
Timeless classic, even if many/most effects have been executed a gazillion times more and better. I first met ASD with Dreamchild so thank you for keeping on raising the bar each time :)
I'm having problems appreciating this, maybe because I see it 8 years after release, for the first time, after Lifeforce and stuff...
Nice visuals
The music had potential but it's not very tastefully realized so it falls flat for me. Some decent looking parts and effects here though, not bad.
After all the years, this is still a highlight. Great demo and soundtrack !
good demo and great soundtrack.
I can't believe I never rulez'd it before. I love this demo!
One of my favorite demo soundtracks (the second half especially).
nice
i somehow feel the music and the visuals detached from each other
A great demo from ASD
pretty mixed feelings, first part looks a bit crappy, but then....it revives and amuses :) and great music!
who is watching this in 2018? :)
Nice, consistent colors. Don't like the first parts, but second half, when music becomes a part of the demo, is definitely worth watching.
beautiful!
