Haha, love it. Soothing experience. Great sense of depth and change of day-time. Very Amiga!

Awesome! Remember that amiga demo where you had to hold the mouse button and if you let go it would start again at the start... that would be fitting here too.

long scene is loong.
its still well made and the tune carries it well. its basically an oldschool intro with newschool design (or was it melon design?)

More than OK prod. Very polished visuals, OK code. Overall a bit boring.

But I reserve the right to thumb it up later on, if I should feel so.
added on the 2021-07-01 17:18:00 by AlienTech AlienTech
For me this is something more like an amazing and cool looking tech demo. Very smooth parlax scrolling, nice graphcis and music.

However, i don't see this as an intro or demo. Unfortunately, it's not enough for that.

Regarding the color transitions (day / night) i would have liked to see a smooth color fading from one - to another color palette.

But now enough criticism. All in one this is a really decent and amazing production. (At the moment i'm still thinking about how the paralax scrolling might have been implemented. ;-)

It is hard to find fault with this. It sneaks up and meets my sensibilities head-on.

It is deeply reassuring in it's pacing and gentle in it's color and presentation. This is a triumph.

If you run the demo for 48 hours, then the runner takes a little break. No, i am joking he will not. Nice demo by the way, the parallax scrolling looks superb.

Wow, that's a parallax for the history books. I love the style. Shadow of the beast comes to mind. Can you make one with a cyclist too? ;)

It's been a while - where does one release the .mod file for download these days?

TDK back! Allways a thumb..

This new Melonstration reminded me a little of this oldskool production:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lmWd8EgM5JY

The quality is amazing though. Did Mack pixel this in 2021?
So great gfx.

Wonder what’s next for Melon. Bringing back more old members? From the code department? We wait and wonder!
