Good demo. I see some effects taken from "Dust" by Elude.
Not the best Elude demo but not the worst.

Has that Elude feeling but feels a bit empty.

My favourite prod from Revision 2014 and my compo winner. Superb tune, great atmosphere and beautiful effects. Excellent demo!

Cool sound and cool vibe.

I always like it when Kiero breaks out the blur.

The godawful clipping issues on the left and right edges ruin the experience even more than usual though, given the otherwise clean look.
cool!
rulez added on the 2014-04-21 20:28:46 by stefa stefa
A lot of recycled ideas but actually a quite good demo.
The soundtrack fits very well the pace.

no real synchro, a bit boring...
Big improvement over the last year!
rulez added on the 2014-04-21 21:06:03 by Marq Marq
Easily the best Elude release so far. Stylish visuals (except for the last scene which seemed unfinished), no murky diarrhea textures, awesome soundtrack. Should've won by a mile.
rulez added on the 2014-04-21 21:33:05 by break break
While I do really like the more bombastic elude demos, this has a certain degree if sophistication that might just push it beyond the earlier releases. Cool effects, nice design and music. I would've liked some color, but this works in b/w too.

Very nice design and music! Its a great package with heaps of style and ambience. <3

Full of style, great mood and awesome music. Nevertheless a little bit of the old Elude 3D-bombast would have been nice.

More important: PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US!

Good demo. In my opinion, it's technically better than TBL one in some parts. What a pity that there is no colors and 2d graphics inside.
rulez added on the 2014-04-22 08:15:16 by slayer slayer
Never got much out of Elude demos, to be honest. This one also suffers from low framerates (of course not on Youtube :P), dull scenes, lack of graphics, and the overall demomaking-by-the-numbers/seen-it-all-before dilemma.
added on the 2014-04-22 08:22:59 by tomaes tomaes
Quite nice, even though ab it too relaxing for my taste.
rulez added on the 2014-04-22 09:50:52 by elend elend
i have a lot of love for this. nice flow, goes great with the soundtrack and i really like the first part. it's all done with style and taste.
rulez added on the 2014-04-22 12:01:10 by smash smash
Lovely demo, my favourite from the compo. The first part is excellent and there is a coherency and a nice flow in this demo. The only complaint is the speed of things, some scenes would have been better with less things in order to gain some speed.
rulez added on the 2014-04-22 12:05:40 by bonkers bonkers
Who needs colours?? :) Laid back style with relaxing soundtrack.

Loved the tune, and has some really stylish effects. Has the edge over the TBL demo for me as a whole presentation.
rulez added on the 2014-04-22 13:51:48 by Intrinsic Intrinsic
I get why this got second. Because the TBL demo had more in your face stuff and kick ass music. But I like the music and slow pace visuals in this demo, it's really relaxing. And the particle effects and many cubes and general grayness and blurry filters where so fitting. Cool stuff!

It does not work on A1200 with ACA 1220. Should it work? What are minimum requirements?
added on the 2014-04-22 22:09:08 by stRing stRing
thanks for all the comments. just few quick notes for now.
@clipping issues: yeah, will probably fix that in a bit-more-final version in few days.
@youtube version: some code really is meant to run slow so recording it on uae breaks first part significantly. also doing any color adjustments on shitty laptop screen can only backfire on you and the blacks are too crushed at some places.
@running on aca1200: no, sorry mate;)
added on the 2014-04-22 22:19:22 by kiero kiero
What ham said. I liked this a lot more than the TBL demo.
rulez added on the 2014-04-22 22:21:44 by Preacher Preacher
@kiero: didn't you have some sort of flag (- slow?) in one of your demos to make it run slower/more accurate on Winuae? I'd love to have an option for this demo too.

@kiero
What's the name of the song used in your demo? It really fits well and builds up the atmosphere. h0ffman should upload it to Soundcloud.

best looking modern amiga demo imho, manages to look like modern pc demos, instead of the usual dos pc like look. awesomeness.

I watch it over and over again. Every time I like it more. Awsome music and preety nice effects. But, honestly, I expect more from Elude as a fan :) This should not be farewell demo, guys ;)

Pretty nice visuals... but the music does not create real atmosphere.

Really good demo! The first effect is top notch and congrats to Hoffman for the great song, Elude roxx. Please stop next year as we need 4 years to do a demo, maybe we can have more than 4 demos next revision.

Everything seems so perfect in this demo...The selection of b/w for relaxing was great and gave a bit of classy on it
rulez added on the 2014-04-23 22:54:19 by Spewk Spewk
So nice flow supported by fantastic music. I very like the overall BW graphics. Framerate is very good, scenes are beautiful. Well TBL had few rocking scenes, but also some weaker ones. This demo is more coherent and I slightly prefer it against the winner.

I wish next year Skarla, Loonies, Elude, Mawi, TBL, FD, ... all compete together. PC scene would be sooo embarrassed.

Elude dont leave us, we love you!

Finally got to watch it at home on the real thing.
Most of the scenes look absolutely gorgeous on the CRT and the speed is just fitting to the atmosphere. Hope you keep exploring this path. Yes, you'll do another one, because why would you ever leave Serenity.

I like the effects and the music but as a whole the demo doesn't work for me, can't really say why though, maybe because of the missing colors.

massive soundtrack, massive polycount, heavy scenes!
the atmosphere built up perfectly. i´d only wished for some few music-synced colored cubes f.e. once the music kicks in completely. ;) a minimal bit of color towards the end!
anyway, superb stuff as always, thanks a lot for everything!

How do these Amiga people get their greyscale demos so extremely stylish?
I have to admit that the scenes seem a bit randomly compiled and merely held together by the fact that they're all greyscale, but they simply suit the music, the low pace and the overall mood perfectly.
I like it.

I really like how tranquil and confident this demo is. Cutting-edge, but not in your face; stylish, but not overly stylized. It exudes a feeling of accomplishment—you guys don't need to prove yourself at this point and will earn every bit of praise you deserve just by being all-around kickass demomakers. One of the easiest thumbs up of my life.
