35 years ago when I first saw the french pharmacy signs I though "somebody should make a demo about that". Ok, maybe not 35 years ago but 25 at least!
Awesome! <3

Sick!
I prefer this to visiting the real farmacy.
Nice, unique output platform. 🙂
This is brilliant! The medium itself would be enough to make this interesting, but the visuals and music are top notch and make this awesome <3
yes! :)
Apotheke!
Brilliant stuff!
yes, this is absolutely brilliant, and loads of fun! What's the resolution of this thing? and is it 5 separate displays that are separately operated, or one square display with cuts?
sick
wait no,
wait no,
Fun idea, well executed. I don't always feel these “weird display” demos are that interesting, but this one feels like it manages to work around the oddities pretty well, to the point where you forget the shape of the display.
@v3nom - it's 5 separate displays, 64x64 pixels each.
Someone had to do it. Excellent :)
You made a demo on/about it. And an entertaining one, too!
Typical Gasman lmao, just make up a computer to get demo at :D

Cool

Medic!
Yeah yeah yeah !!
excellent :D
well done, this is fun
fun
Totally excellent!
thanks for the memes :^)
'30 seconds of demoscene memes'.
The Amiga bouncing ball.

Great ideas and soundtrack. Did the memes/tropes thread influence that part? And the video with people casually walking behind the display somehow adds to the experience. :)
What an absolute joy of a prod! Everything comes together super nicely, and the patterns and framing of the effects make very good use of the shape of the display. Even the memes part was actually funny; had it been only that, it would have been super lame. Excellent soundtrack as well; overall really really great stuff!
Totally awesome!
Neat!
Nice!
Pharma-SI!
Seeing this comw together was an incredible experience :)
awesome
доктор едет-едет
Great stuff!
impressive and fun, love the music too!
This was really cool to see in person! I also love the detail of the ambulance siren getting louder when the ambulance is closer and rotated towards the viewer
The only thing it's missing is: Pharmaschinken (bdum-tsh.wav)
Hands down best prod from the party.

This is awesome, like it.
I just imagine some poor peeps searching for a pharmacy somewhere in deepest french outback but can't find one since the demoscene found a new playground-display :-D

For some reason I feel the exact opposite - the only thing that utilized the shape was the boingball, and the "meme part" was completely unnecessary and screams viralbait (is that a term? if not, it should be)
It's a shame cos the idea is there (and can be done much MUCH better) and the music is great (when it's allowed to be), but there's always a moment in such demos where I get this distinct vision of the authors going "I KNOW THIS IS AWFUL BUT I CAN'T HELP MYSELF", and that's where subtlety goes out the window and you get Nyan cat. Not a parody of Nyan cat, not an allusion to Nyan cat, not a sly underhanded reference to Nyan cat that implies that you believe that the audience is just as smart as you are - just Nyan cat, unaltered, going "STATISTICALLY THIS IS WHAT YOU LIKE PEOPLE, DONT FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE".
It just makes me sad.
Greatest !!! I like the music very much too !!
brill :D
What Gargaj said about subtlety and weak utilization of the cruciform. Demoscene self-referentiality, getting stuck in one's own ass. The thing that holds it back.
On the memes thing, I have to dispute the suggestion that they're just being lazily played straight with no attempt at cleverness. Yes, subtlety did go out of the window, but that's kind of the whole point... it's lampshading the notion that demosceners have a solemn duty to systematically port these things to every platform in existence, firstly by setting up a transparently silly pretext ("your prescription is ready...") for shoehorning them in here, and then blitzing through them in 30 seconds to subvert the usual state of affairs (namely, drip-feeding every compo in the next six months with Pharmafarjan, PharmaNICCC 2000 and Pharma Apple, which I think we can all agree would have been truly lame).
Point taken, if you're thoroughly sick of demoscene memes at this point then this isn't going to be any consolation - doing The Thing ironically is still Doing The Thing. But I do think there's a place on the scene for self-indulgent memey things, and that's the kind of demo we collectively set out to make, so no regrets there...

bar cross format demo. amazing idea! ;D
Thank you. I'm glad someone finally made this demo.
Cool
dope
Well I liked it - lots of fun, the music is great and the whole thing doesn't outstay its welcome.
damn, i thought about it a few years ago and now i got it
It is what the demoscene has always been about - thinking outside the box. In a cross shape, perhaps.
What would be cool now, would be a pharmacist running this on its shop sign. :D

An amazing production, especially the memes part made me smile, and overall quite an enjoyable experience! We need more prods like this! :)
"Making of" link ain't working...
very cool!
I'm new to the pharmacy sign universe and still loving it. also the music nails the it, perfect.
could have even cooler green effects on it though, compared with what I've seen on Twitter these days.

I'm usually outspoken with my distaste for memes that have stayed in the demoscene too long, and had a visceral reaction to seeing them in this demo but honestly, it's still great. It's a jolly prod and full of spirit, with a great soundtrack too.
Enjoyed this.
I love it!
Simply Amazing!
Really cool in the recording, would love to see it in real!
:)
For the platform
Great!
