Just watched it on the big screen at Sundown. Very solid production, with great flow, some cool jokes and fantastic way to loop at the end.

My favourite Checkpoint demo ever:) I love the style and good design. Well done!

Really nice. But I have frame drop during greetings, on the cube always when DHS comes up. It happens on Steem and Hatari, many different TOS and RAM configurations
rulez added on the 2015-08-11 08:45:02 by tompee tompee
Oh wait I ran Steem at "max mhz" setting and it works OK. But the rest of the demo is very fast now.

tompee: maybe the cube is meant to be like that at that point... :)

Cute demo. There are many parts I like, but the whole thing is well polished. Ukko and Modmate are on fire with their graphics right now.

There are many cool little touches, I can't mention just one favourite part.

rulez added on the 2015-08-12 11:03:46 by Kylearan Kylearan
Like all good things it seems to end too early but the demo is 100% enjoyable and polished to the bone (well except for the small text at the beginning if you allow some criticism ;). Really great prod I will enjoy watching again and again !

What effect are you talking about ? All fx have been done before except for the colorful bridgelike one. Are you talking about this one ?

Excellent demo; this was talked about even amongst those of us Atari sceners who were not at Sommarhack this year. Nice to see it shown on the stream via Sundown 2015 as well.

Checkpoint just carry on getting better and better and better. Keep it up guys ! :)
