Amazing stuff

Conspiracy doesn't disappoint
It's looks like a lot of 4k combined in one 64k.
O...M...G!
Totally feel destroyed after watching that on the stream. Utterly massive, damn awesome work!

CNS Does it again...
Holy fucking hell.
Wow! Everything in there is _so_ marvellous and next-level, especially colorgrading and sound (in my humble opinion). HYPE!
ho.ly.fu.ck.ing.cow
that was so epic atmosphere/visual-wise, i'm still trying to get my jaw back from the floor.
thanks conspiracy for this!

Very eye candy scenes glued together. Those trees are technically outstanding.
Had goosebumps when watching it on the stream. Compowinner!
So I guess somebody at Conspiracy was really disappointed with the 2nd place at Revision 2016, and the team decided to put a decisive end to the issue by remixing both Darkness Lay Your Eyes Upon Me and Fermi Paradox at the same time. :p
J/K, mindblowing prod. A cherry on top of the already great 64k compo (which was a pleasant surprise by itself).

Shivers all over
very impressive and scary, but I cant help to think just how would you move the moon, wouldn't that require some serious deltaV???
excellent stuff
yes, i have the same feeling

Curious: Why was the scene showing Earth after the impact inserted in the middle and not in the end after the credits?
Salinga: time fragments of the story are intertwined in a nonlinear way, kinda like Memento-style. That was a conscious decision from the very beginning cause linear felt boring. But I admit the destroyed planet scene feels a little out of place where it is, even to me. Would have needed a few more weeks to really think it through :)
CONS for the win! ^_^
Great sequel to "Darkness Lay Your Eyes Upon Me".
What will the next part be called? "Emptiness Fills The Space Between Us"?

Very good stuff, although it took a while until it grabbed me - unlike Darkness, which gave me goosebumps almost from the start. It's hard to put a finger on it exactly, but somehow this one feels more like "play pretend" or trying too hard.
Still, I love this style, and this might grow on me when re-watching it at home. :)

absolutely great, I think it's my favorite of the triology.
imho the nonlinear-storytelling works (very) well as it is.

Awesome as usual. And a clear winner for me!
BTW: You can remove your logo at the beginning and use that space for something else. Your style is iconic!

Magnificent visuals. Fantastic atmosphere. Mildy boring.
Bottom line: holy fuck, awesome 64k.

WOW.
Stunning. Completely stunning. So great it gave me goosebumps.
You won this game again! Another fatality against most other creators and designers. Brutally awesome piece of work!
Very impressive scenes and a nice conclusion to the whole dystopia thing.
However, you might wanna do a sequel which is more the chaos theory style, after that cliffhanger ;).
When it comes to cinomatography (did i get that one right?) you are miles ahead.

ufff, outstanding.
;O
I liked it, it was well rendered, but the scenes felt a little disconnected due to the ordering. It was definitely impressive, but didn't quite stick with me like Offscreen Colonies or Vessel. It was missing a sort of "hook" aside from the "We smashed a planet in HD!" :D
A T M O S P H E R E.
Worth successor to Darkness.

This is totally amazing!
Absolutely amazing rendering, modelling, and cinematography - I honestly thought I was watching real footage from a short film, not something generated by a 64k executable.
No comments needed really, absolute ownage and a fitting conclusion (?) to the series.
>.>
Short film... oh, and by the way, it's 64k...
looks like a winner!
The most impressive thing I have seen in years.
a whole epic film in 64k, perfect!
jaw dropping
Great
Stunning!
Those trees alone are worth of Best Visuals for 2018 Meteoriks. Just sayin'
I loved it. It reminds me the previous one, like a prequel. The scene with destroyed Earth is completely insane.
If anyone were in doubt, this is the conclusion to the trilogy.
Looking back "One of these days" seems like a teaser now, but it sparked the idea that there could be a bigger story to it.
"Darkness" was a display of lingering doom, but it ended with a cliffhanger and we didn't get to know what was behind the whole armageddon.
And now we get to see the whole picture including before and after, how a rogue planet ends it all.

Winner of the 64k
Holy fuck, can this be real?
Some of it looked so damn realistic, it was jaw-dropping.

Pretty fucking good :O
My mind -> see the screenshot above.
I think the nonlinear storytelling really worked. Beautiful demo. Thank you.
Ok ... So I've watched it "a couple" of times now and --- this is, truly, sizecoding at its best. The atmosphere, the design ... all of the subtle movements. It's one thing to squeeze some abstract shapes into a demo with specific size constraints, but it's an art to present this type of imagery. If I could shake the hands of everyone involved, I would.
I loved the earth-based naturalistic scenes for a 64k, amazing. Makes me wonder what a prod just set in those would look like.
Captivating an entire crowd from start to finish is not easy at all. You managed to pull this off not once, not twice but three times. That's simply brilliant. The connections between visuals and music is simply fantastic. Neither steels attention from the production as an overall impression. This is impressive as well. I think it'll be fairly safe to prematurely congratulate you on this win :)
You douchebags :D Raising the bar is something we've come to expect of you, and you pull it off every single time! Congratulations on a massive production, visuals that I can't explain how they're possible, audio that sets an atmosphere and ties t all together & thanks for being an inspiration!
Got shivers in multiple points. That doesn't usually happen with intros. What can I say.
I agree that the nonlinear storytelling works very well. I think the story really benefits from it. I really intensifies the feeling of impending and inevitable doom.
I've rewatched it a couple of times on my computer and I like it more and more.

WOW!
I'd also like to add that the nonlinear storyline was a huge plus in my book. The exploded planet, followed by the more serene (yet intentionally empty) scenes, then the revelation that these were the same place - goosebumps in the compo.
Speechless.
dat sequel. finally! also, what ferris said about storyline
You guys are making a poet into a series of intros? :D
For the title alone, obviously :)
Is it real, super awesome......... :OOO
technically it is one of the best 64k intros i have seen.
for me personally the content is painfully kitschy in most aspects so i can't feel too fond of it...
thumb though

Impressive rendering.
Amazeballs.
great work
so it's nibiru????
Absolutely jawdropping. Only complaint is the screenshot here feels a bit of a spoiler.
SPRENGUNG!
Really well done!
I don't like collision model in this demo, it looks childish and has very strong stench of ignorance.
Some of the scenes look real when i take off my glasses :)
beautiful.
absolutely stunning. this takes things to a new level
csak ámulok és bámulok :D ez lehetetlen :D
This is so impressive. Obvious winner.
This 64k stuff is getting out of hand! those trees behind the window and the explosion scene are my two favourite scenes.
wooow!
For the looks!
i've been waiting for something like this for a decade ;)
Great atmosphere, good work!
Absolutely stunning. I am floored!
God damn, guys! Once again, beautiful editing - almost across the board - with natural, graceful camerawork. Your L-systems (I assume that's what how the trees are done) look so good. The music combines very nicely with "all the things" to create a very cohesive whole, which conveys actual emotion. Hat(s) off.
Amazing!
ouch, grabs 2gb of ram and crashes on loading (win8.1, 8gb, intel hd4400 + radeon hd8750m w/ latest drivers)
Lovely scenes (Zoom's taste is impeccable), but i find this "slideshow + timestretch-esque soundtrack" style utterly boring and uninspired. (See more of this: 4k intros)
Absolutely incredible.
Beautiful, cinematic and raw. Maybe my favorite Conspiracy product.
super nice scenes, but other than that doesnt work for me. boring planet blows up "story". then static scenes, basicly each one could have been a still picture. nothing really happening there's no start middle and end.
This compo is all about 64...
How... How did they even..
How... How did they even..
The scene with the moon crashing into the planet reminded me a bit of Wailee. In a different way of course.
Really breath taking. And seriously...how many can you still put into 64k?!

What Oswald and Reptile said.
congrats for the win btw
You all have a great talent ! bravo and thanks for your art
just ... thank you!
great follow-up to the series!
the direction felt a bit inbred between waillee and Darkness Lay Your Eyes Upon Me, but i guess it was pretty hard to avoid considering the storyline already laid out before :)

not your typical scene production for sure. i like that this intro has a lot of scenes with quite basic lighting and (i would argue) quite simple geometry but you are able to make them look nice simply by having a structured story, a nice tone mapping and a good composition.
i hope you can release a version where there is less aliasing
wonderful "Melancholia" :) truly awesome guys, you keep us all on our toes and inspired!
You could've stopped at the very first scene and I'd still have been impressed, what follows after is jaw-dropping to say the least. Amazing!
Goosebumps! The strong visuals are perfectly accompanied by the music and very nice composition of all the shots, awesome!
Seeing it from frontrow during the compo was overwhelming, thnx! :D

Brilliant. Getting better although each year I think it can´t get any better. Kudos, guys!
Another great one o/
Fantastic production! Such a beauty.
I'm probably just dreaming but it felt like an awesome wink at Mercury too. To call them back!

Just Conspiracy :O
literally: a pretty solid production. :D congrats
Stellar stuff as usual! Some of the scenes had pretty intense aliasing/strobing, at least in the party version.
Your colorgrading in this one is BEYOND awesome!
hmm well... i'm no big fan of these demos... were almost nothing happens in the scenes ... only slow movement...
music is nice... looks nice...but otherwise for me it's boring like hell...
so it's a piggy for me...

Your production is very inspirational to us as a guide for colorgrading and postprocessing (on top of the "world famous" sound synthesis, shading, geometry composition and further detailing).
2003-2018 amazing prods..
Huge! I was speechless after this!
Holy fuck! In 2-3 years I wanna see this in 8k^^
Space and planets and destruction and doom. Meh.
all around good, although I've seen quite a few intros now that have seemed to achieve success mainly because of their portrayal of sublime, magnificent, voluminous spaces and/or events -- not saying that it's not impressive when executed well, but it's becoming a bit of a gimmick now, I think
of course this is über-great, but i like "darkness lay your eyes upon me" more :-)
Amazing work! The pacing and composition of this is just superb. Gave me shivers on the bigscreen.
While the visuals look fingerlicking delicious, there's ... not much happening.
No phoenix rising this time... :)
massive
Rah!
Well, I loved this. You are titans.
nice meld of all the previous releases
Lost for words. Again.
Stunning show and happy 15th!
Themewise, the collision model is kinda on its way out.
I totally recommend looking at electric erosion and plasma discharges on planetary scales. It would make for awesome demoeffects ;)

great visuals and atmosphere once again. the new standard in 64k.
More like graphics collection, not intro
Superb! Well done!
The 'newer' CNS intros don't always work for me, but this one properly got me during the compo.
still keeps me up at night
The posse brings their A game... and it really shows.
This was the first 64k intro—or one of the very few at least—where I was just immersed in the spectacle disregarding all technical aspects and implementation details. That's one of the highest compliments I can think of giving an intro. I was not cheering for the amount of generated texture or their detail. I was not cheering for the rendering pipeline. I was not cheering for the quality of the audio synthesis. I cheered for the non-linear presentation. I cheered for the spectacle. I cheered because I felt something.
I don't think we're quite at perfection yet, but your efforts are nothing short of formidable. Thank you for the inspiration.
As far as the state of the scene in general goes, a couple thoughts... This will be hard to top, for the reasons aegis mentioned. Going much beyond this especially as far as surprise goes starts to be very deep into the area of unreasonable expectations. Doing "this intro" over and over is difficult but not unthinkable. A proper reinvention of our approaches to doing something majestic and awe-inspiring might be in order, and that's what the real difficult task is. I think we're narrowing in on the stylistic cul-de-sac that's been looming over the scene for a while now, but I'm optimistic. I have faith in you guys, as I do in many others in the scene.

Joining the choir with praise.
The scenes are outstanding, the music is incredibly well composed and the narrative is of top notch quality.

Here's the thumb. Wish I had more thumbs to give. About a hundred perhaps!
Decent. :)
big respect! I was impressed with every scene and awesome soundtrack for sure
lots of cinematics done in this 64k. good making for a story in a tiny size ! repect !
.
Beautiful!
quality once again!
Impressed me on the stream, came here to thumb it up. Runs fine , soundtrack is good and fitting, just way too glacial for me. You can tell a story without every scene having to be essentially a still.
Gangsta.
I see a bad moon rising...
really impressive, especially the music and the scenes in the earth. actual impact scene was kinda dull and too static looking compared to the rest.
wow. amazing. unbelievable 64k
.
nice scenes, I don't buy the script tho
overall impressive

Excellent in every aspect!
wow. just. wow.

Groundbreaking.
Crazy amount of content and superb story telling.
!!!
Earth-shattering
Great soundscape and some incredibly beautiful visuals (that tree scene O_o). But also some visuals which don't look that good resp. don't fit to the general atmosphere. Still, excellent intro!
It's a streamkiller, at least in 60 Hz (judder and lots of freeze/snap motion that should be smooth). I will try it on my PC later. However, dlyeum was much better live, and I suspect this is as well!
I got an error with exception code 'c0000005' in d3d11.dll. Can anybody advice me how to avoid it? Though I guess it's just my GPU sucks (GT630). Shame to be unable to watch this demo directly on my PC.
Nice job guys!
incredible
Amazing storytelling!
Spektogal!
intense
So much YES!
Oh my...
i uh, don't get it.
like the 64k part is impressive but this direction is not my thing at all.

so conspiracy only had spheres after all! 
Wait, I didn't thumb this up yet? Crazy.
Insane visuals
what cupe said.
Oh wow
Conspiracy doing planets \o/
Very beautiful visuals.
awesome
...wenn der MOND in mein GHETTO kracht!
WOW! :O
Wait I didn't thumb this up? This is awesome
Marvelous space odyssey
what an atmosphere...
How did i miss this? Absolutely stunning!
Oh, I seemed to have forgotten my thumb up for this rather epic 64k.
love it!
forgot thumb up this one before. need admit this intro is totally awesome technically - i got no fkn idea how you squeeze all this into 64KB.
but. i find it spiritually boring also.
it must have been difficult times choose winner in this compo for those with voting possibility or ticket. or at least i am still scratching my head whom to vate if i visited demoparties.

I'm such an oldman that missed this masterpiece!!1
slow-mo slideshow
I like the feeling of impeding doom with moments of peace with small details like the leaves of the trees moving in the wind and the tiny camera movements like if someone was actually filming.
Also glad the weird resolution and aspect ratio of my screen is support (3840x2560, that's 3:2 aspect ratio)!
