Very good, except that one particular slow cube-light-tunnel thing which really ruins it for me.

fuck, busted. :(
One of the good ones from party.
but you can watch it on something with even 16 Mhz and it'll run perfectly :)
excellence
very nice
Good work Britelite :-)
Looks awesome on the screens...too bad i dont have an amiga anymore...
Well get one, everyone needs an Amiga.
Great a500 demo! Effects never seen on OCS before.
the tmapper was fcked up here. is there some way to remedy that?
loaderror: you can wait for the accelerator-fixed version, because the smc-stuff really doesn't like cache
Although the framerate was looow at times, I enjoyed this prod a lot. :)
i know texture mapping can be a pain to do well on a plain-jane a500, so, respect.
More like an a500+ or a600 prod but good anyway :]
Videos please so I can vidy it!
Not so easy to move stuff from my PowerMac to my CDTV. ;b

Some scenes which I never thought possible on an A500 :). Low framerate in some parts, but hey, this is good stuff!
rulez!!
A fantastic production with amazing effects! Thank you guys for this! I'm totally blown away to see such a prod in 2008 for Amiga ECS.
Too bad I don't have any 68000 Amiga here that fulfills the memory requirements. :) And as the demo is funked up on my 4060 I'll have to wait for the 680x0 fixed version. :) The thumb has to wait for now as I don't want to watch it on UAE. :)
video pls!
Nothing special (to me)l, but a good solid demo nonetheless.
asking a lot from the 500...which is a good thing. really nice!
hyvin tehty pojat!
Now that I've seen the 680x0 fixed version (thanks BriteLite :D) there's only one thing to do:
nice one... but really too slow at some parts... and 2 mb is a bit too much... but anyway a new a500 demo ... thumbs up ;)
Awesomeness.
i like music and design screens here. code is obviously good, but demo not really touches me.
Impressive effects and texture mapper for the 500 although it had some dirty rendering here but maybe it is the emulator and not an attempt to fake texture mapping with something ugly or anything :P
hope to see a video of this demo...
Nice to see this with proper audio too...
Here's a new archive which also includes an accelerator/uae-fixed version of the demo.
yeah :D
I can imagine the technical challenge in doing that on an Amiga ecs, but it's definitely a demo I will watch again later.
Good work guys. I like it a lot. The music is great.
Great
Pretty great demo! Some of the scene would look better with a faster framerate but I guess it is still a pretty fast routine for that kind of machine :)
Big up!
Big up!
pretty cool.
Small thumb up for this demo. Effects are very nice but also too slow for a good flow. Music doesn´t fit to the demo and is not really good at the beginning...
@evil: Thanks for the links, man!

Should've won. excellent stuff with good design
coherence!
my favorite in the compo.
hell yeah! this rocks!
impressive, but I think it would have looked better if the sky was moving while the mountain was rotating.
ECS?:D kudos!
Cool design, impressive looking. The music isn't as strong as the visuals in my opinion, but is pretty cool.
To slow.
nice
Nice demo for A500+! A bit slowish in some screens but i like it.
Same old chunky effects that appear in every Amiga demo, runs slow and the music is abysmal.
Seems to highlight the Amiga's shortcomings rather than its capabilities.

this is actually pretty good. the offset maps are indeed ancient but the 3D is quite solid. although, i'd rather have a bit less polys and running 12 fps+ or so. also, i liked the style.
only thing i didn't like was the extreme ram requirements.
overall, good job! gimme more!

Good enough. I'll thumb it up when the 512+512 diskloader version appears. ;)
@Wade
Way to miss the point. How many times have you seen these kinds of effects in a 68000/ECS demo?

Xeron: Fair enough, it takes a lot of work to code on an ECS Amiga and I should show more courtesy by elaborating.
But it's not like these are AGA quality effects achieved on an A500. In my opinion they're A500 quality effects. My point is that cutting down effects to run on a lesser machine isn't so impressive to me and it comes at the cost of visual appeal (same reason I hate most post 1995 Amiga demos).
Personally, I prefer to see blitter, copper, sprite, parallax and scrolling effects because the Amiga does it so well. No disrespect intended towards the makers of this demo, but I think if you want to produce "big" effects, you may as well produce them on a "big" machine.

wade, but aren't all the compos and categories with size or hardware restrictions about trying to push the limits? and since when were demos ever only about visual appeal and not the technical side at all?
I share some points from both Xeron and Wade.
I highly honor the technical aspect of producing those chunky-fx on such a low level - being forced to heavily use (rape ;D ) the chipset.
On the other hand, I never really liked the look (gradiant colours etc.) of these fx. So -to go along with Wade's point- I'd rather appreciate high class A500 effects that look contemporary.
Thus, the thumb up for the great team effort and the code...I'll never be capable of doing this.

had to double-check if it's really for a500 :)
very very nice once

They're not, but demos appeal to everyone for different reasons. As a designer/artist, I look for visual criteria over technical appeal. Many technical minded people will think the opposite.
Naturally I respect the ability of coders to achieve something like this, but it's just not my thing.
Everyone should take my perspective for what it is: just one man's opinion based on personal tastes.
nice, but not revolutionnary, table based effects, the mapping looks relatively fast but the scenes are too damn heavy to run at an acceptable framerate.
gruik.
gruik.
That is the right type of demo for an ECS Amiga. I missed it for years.
a bit disadvantaged by the missing audio channel at the party, übergreat technically and design-wisely, but imho it lacks the soul of renaissance and the next level so the 3rd place is quite fair :)
Expected this one to end up a bit better than 3rd, but...
Solid.

I'm with Slummy on this one, 512c+512f and a diskloader thank you very much! But I'm still thumbing it up. (=
The music is fantastic!

real nice flow and atmosphere, awesome music.
Yeah!
respect
nice
:)
Nice design and 3d scenes!
Yeah !
Forgot to vote on this. Not many effects but a cool 3d scenes and overall great demo! The music one of the best on amiga ever.
...very nice co-op
It is so fucking great, looks like an AGA-demo. I have never seen such an ECS-demo in that quality before.
forget about my first comment. it's booooring! you can do better.
and the music sucks.. compare it to zif's tune. what happened in 13 years??
music
mappings, pink, blue
flying around a 3D mountain, texture mapped
3D stone rotating, texture mapped
3D stone cubes
4 3D stone stalagmites, turning

I suppose it's technically impressive for ECS, but otherwise just repeat of what's been in AGA/030/060 demos for years. Music is particularly unimpressive, not sure how Legend managed to produce something so unlistenable .. so piggy this time.
well you know, just smashed the buttons when protracker was on, as usual
Chavez & ccr, you are either in need of less drugs, or more of what you're already on.
Just sayin'.
Just sayin'.
that was not really fast
Wow, why haven't I seen this before? Music was very great. Too bad it's that slow, so just a piggy.
want to rewatch this, still remember it.
What ccr said
Oh my GOD! Should have won. Amazing stuff for Amiga ECS! Thank you Britelite I love your demos.
suxx
nice effort, but a bit to shaky 3d scenes for me
pretty kool demo. i actually think the track is quite funky.
:)
impressive
I liked design and effects. Cool soundtrack.
Holy crap, that's impressive.
I would like to give a thumb up for really nice design and music, unfortunately 3d parts are so sloooow...
nicey
yes, yes, and yes!
000 demo like a 060 demo in nineties...
not generic music.
Cool stuff.
Pretty cool but music did not appeal to me for some reason...
like it
Forgot to thumb it up back then. Must have been a busy year. I like the config choice and the demo.
On my ACA500+ 42 Mhz its just flyes!

if this prod is a fake, some info is false or the download link is broken,
do not post about it in the comments, it will get lost.
instead, click here !
Will release an accelerator-fixed version later on, so don't even think of running it on your 060-amiga or UAE with JIT enabled.
