game trailer submitted into the democompo, which is kinda weird, but the whole thing is very well done (except for some typos in the scroller). really looking forward for the game!

actually i heard that smash designs was originally founded as game developement team, and only lateron started to produce demos. well, now it's back to the roots! =)

Boring. Gave up watching it even in warp mode.

The sheer amount of 'Ghost in the shell' and 'Matrix' references in the gfx of this game intro is laughable (the screenshot is a good example). Secondly, this does not work as a demo, it's amazingly boring to watch it all the way through. Still, I hope that the game will rock.

Don't find this one that boring. But it didn't deserve that rank in the compo.
And they gathered around the computer, loaded up the new Smash Designs demo with great expectations and... started watching. And they watched. At some point, somebody said: "maybe we should do something else". And they all agreed.

Not thumbs-down, as there's nothing wrong with it, I just wish my demos to be demos.

nice slideshow. but why did it need to be sooo long? the effect would be a lot better with way shorter dialogs... and maybe a few surprises like an animation here and there.

REALLY looking forward to the game anyway.

Seriously.. If you can't write an exciting story/dialogue, don't. I literally fell asleep during this one. Looking forward to seeing the game though!

The story is stupid and I've seen much better graphics by AEG before.

Just thumbing up the fact he's also working on the actual game... (turrican III)

Ugly graphics, stupid and boring storyline, painfully slow and horribly static...black suits and ties in the 31st century? ...bleeccch. Awful.

Dunno how it made 2nd place... kinda boring... I've seen the game preview though and the game *will* rock. :)
