stylish stuff, dope music.

Hey you did manage to make the music better :)
Just realized how music video-like this is. Misses just that little something (slower camera movements, more details to aid the composition, better sense of scale... realizing these only now) for that extra mile, but as it is right now is more than far enough for me.

holy sh**!
scenes with triangles were nice
Great cloud rendering! You have a keen eye for detail.
Fantastic materials and rendering!! Some absolutely great scenes here for sure. The clouds in particular and the nice reflections stood out. I found it a bit lacking in the music (the music sounded a bit cheap/4klang'ish for a 64k and there was nothing memorable about it) and direction departments (lack of any and all transitions, movement was often too fast/jerky), but those are minor things. Great stuff!
Cool effects
Great style!
splendid
I Forgot I was watching 64K
Nice, very nice materials, really liked how the "ground" wobbled, the colors and overall feeling.
Excellent rendering. Sound department a quite solid track. (I could always say something about mixing: say something about mixing :D) Ended smoothly.

Really good design and direction ( and code to make it happen ) :)
With more bytes spent on the music side you gonna do some really crazy 64ks!

Nice! Some really cool scenes and visuals. Didn't like the music too much though.
As the others already said: gread rendering tech and smooth tune.
However some minor nitpicks: I felt that the terrain roughness was quite a bit too low making it hard to discern if this was supposed to be magma or rock. The viewspace folding between 1:28-1:37 felt a bit uninspired "fillery". The greetings scene is nice but due to the placement of the text I had a hard time reading the greetings while at the same time appreciating the scene evolving.

Awesome! I thought the 64k category was supposed to be dead for years already!?
The color "mood" seems to be slightly different for each scene. I'm not sure if I like that. What would it have looked like, if you'd just picked one of them and kept the overall feeling the same throughout the demo? My favorite is the one in the skyscraper window scene. The yellow, orange, slightly greenish colors stand out to a great effect, but ... each one of them could be worth its own demo? I mean, the music's general atmosphere doesn't change during the demo, it just progresses consistently inside the same style. But the color or post-processing things feel like they're not from the same song's music video, they're from several different videos.

iconic rendering in the end did the job for an official YOU apply of demoscenes to become religion (for some).
when it started on the stream i was thinking: okay, another intro with mountains but let's see :D but damn, what a tune, what a visual quality and what a stylish design. okay there are no really fresh effects but the choice of colors, the flow and the overall feeling make this one of the best slightly above 32k i know. i wonder what would have happened if you had more time (to optimize or to go for a full 64k). great one man show, drift :)
Good feel of the style.
I also like the polygonal wall.

Looks sweeet!
Great! I love lights/metal reflections.
Looks like you have some nice voronoi columns here, was it inspired by latest ST experiments or smth simpler? :)

looks and sounds fantastic =)
Final scene looked like this and I'm not 100% sure it should've:
Otherwise, holy shit - even for a standard 64k this would be so killer, let alone for a one-man-prod.

Also, stop pissing around and fill 64k already! ;D
That final scene was really killer <3
Beautiful !!!
Beautiful intro with great music, top stuff!
Whohoo!
Fantastic :)
Cube in flow was ossom.
Awesome!
Amazing! Everybody's complaining about how 2016 is a bad year but for demos it sure isn't! First Logicoma, then this. Totally awesome. Atmosphere is absolutely fantastic, it totally sucked me in.
i dig the greetings part the most i think, the liquidy cube is very nice.
theres room for improvement in the general direction of the prod but damn it looks good.
keep on doing this!

The lack of transitions hurts, but apart from that: Whoa, awesome! This looks gorgeous (the clouds <3), sounds good and the design and flow is ace. Will totally watch again!
What they said.

Thanks for the comments so far everyone. The criticisms about some lack of refinement is of course all true, it was only made quite quickly before the compo deadline and I wish I started it sooner. Not saying that as an excuse, judge it for what it is not what it could have been.
tomkh: At startup I render a 2d voronoi pattern to a single channel 8bit texture then use that as a displacement map for the wall. Just an optimisation I guess instead of calcing it realtime, also mixing in some texture fetches with the arithmetic gives the gpu a break and costs almost nothing.
Gargaj: I guess it is just when the text shows up? That is the only difference from the first and 3rd scenes so I assume that is the problem. I'll shoot you an email.

How can anyone not love this!
Sweet! I really liked the sound and looks of this.
holy shit this is amazing. how you could pull this off alone is beyond me. In the middle I though it was right in the middle between our revision 64ks from 2014 and 2015 (and doing it better), but the end gave it a totally different spin. I don't think it needs "transitions", just some polish maybe - but it feels complete as it is, and is one of the best 64ks in my opinion. now come join us in a proper 64k compo :)
really nice prod.
Wow, what a nice intro.
Wow. So smooth. The color grading in and overall design is incredible.
Pardon me while I'm bathing in arguably the bloody best colourscheme I've witnessed in a 2016 production.
The composition of design, typo, colour palette, effects and music is next to perfect.

Wow, that really kick balls. Superb!
Lovely intro. I adore the feeling of space that's present both in the visuals and in the sound, although I think some parts could benefit from a bigger sense of scale.

Very solid 64K.
Amazing work.
(also, sexy metaballs)
as smooth as a silver bullet
This was really tight!
what an excellent intro. great visuals and nice music. Effects are creative and fit perfect to the mood of the intro.
Solid!
Missing these kind of demos. Very chilly and relaxed!
Drift, is it really you spying on my screen all the time? Having that hacker who steals my frames while grabbing my screen; once i pull the wire my frames are fine again! ;) And most of the effects look very much the same as what i prepared for Revision 2017 so far, mine are just way more colorful as always! ;) (You´ll see then if you haven´t already, haha!)
The prod rocks for sure!
Really really ace for a one-man-show!
More of this plz!

Decent. :)
Nice stuff. Maybe next time make more content.
Love the skyscraper part and the nice high-res fluid effect on the spheres and ribbon over the greets.
what a nice flow!
very good
this is somekind of current design fashion it cames down to my eyes for years. the problem do not came from coders or machine power, but I feel something like it does not affect my mind as a great oldskool prod. it comes that a real blind alley is seen with technology.
Good stuff!
colors
Nice rendering, i like the waaaaaaaaalllll!
good shit
want more
Wow, nice scenes and nicely slow. Feels kinda cold, but comfortably so, like... winter. I especially liked the wall behind the blob, making two different appearances, and the way the triangle in the last scene is sneaking in so slowly I first thought I had eye problems ;)
Excellent!
<3
Most stylish! Great rendering.
nice transitions and some effects are really cool
Yeah, the effects like the text rendering + reflections are quite nice.
I guess that involves somehow converting the textured font into a distance field? Or rendering to a transparent plane with the textured font for coloring?

Mudlord: The main scenes are raymarched first and output a bunch of buffers with depth, position, normals, and some texture information like gloss/roughness etc. Then the particles and text are rendered in a second pass using traditional polygon geometry and blended into the scene using the depth buffer information from the first pass. The reflections in the scenes with the walls are marched in screenspace as a post process using the position and normal buffers and surface roughness is used to blur the reflection based on how glossy the surface is. The reflections on the building are raymarched in the first pass because it has to reflect a lot of stuff which is off screen and do multiple bounces. Font is a texture atlas stored as a png.
It's basically a deferred rendering configuration which is commonly used in video games. I got all the info on how to do it from reading various GDC and Siggraph presentations. Real good source of info for realtime rendering techniques.

Oh nice, looks like I got some reading to do :) Didn't know you could mix plain geometry with raymarching.
Yeah if you just calculate your camera and all your various matrices on the cpu side then you have all the info you need to send to both the raymarching shader and the vertex shaders for polygon geometry. You then can use your ray-length which you already have from raymarching and use the camera near and far plane values to convert it to non-linear and dump it out to the depth buffer. Then you can turn on depth testing and draw some polygons and they will automagically clip into the existing scene. Hardest part is setting up all the matrices for perspective projection and camera which still confuses me but once you get it working it's pretty neat.
If you email me I can send you some info and links about it.

this is very good
At first i thought: "okaysh demo". Then I saw that it's "40k". That blew me away!
nice !
I was getting the same errors as Gargaj. AM FirePro W7100.
Mad prod though. You're really good at making me feel bad and lazy XD

dude that music. so smooth and fits the symmetry of some scenes so well!! on a trip now..........
Really polished in all aspects. Top-notch intro!
Stunning
I really liked the style and pacing. Beautiful!
lookin good
This is a great piece of art. Really smooth flow and the visuals fit perfectly into the chilled tune, well done effects also!
so great
pretty cool! maybe a little rough around the edges, but it does its thing well.
I love this. More please
Yes, drift come back, make more.
