this shit is too freakin good for your computerizer. awesome atmosphere it is. good f*cking work guys and keep making more of these incredible demos!
some hints of oldschool design + quite a good energy and rythm
In-your-face beat, great efx and awesome style. This one makes my day!
wicked music, cool font, effects and synchro as well as nice graphics. not perfect in some parts, but enough for a thumb up imho :)
alternate url http://www.psychoproject.net/~excess/productions/e_shapeshifter.zip for people who don't like to wait for scene.org to update their stuff.. oh; enjoy the demo :)
nice, was missing some dancers at the party place :-D
ohhh! my god!
... and that last comment was made by me, not "stefan". Wtf?
haha, excellent. now stefan will have to answer for a thumb up :>
very nice!
(and stop lying about production times will ya ;)

Excellent demo which is really worth the 1st place :)
this demo was made in less than 30 minutes, the day before the party
we blame abc-demo. we just followed their directions. just goes to show that one should never trust a pink bunny. :)
ruulez x')
Supreme NTM on this one guys.
Big Upz.
and remember,

Super cool!!!
Good music and some nice effects, though I don't believe the production time :)
demolib-code is of course not included in the prod. time. :) ..but; most of the new code, design and scripting -was- done during the party.. which led to me not having time to drink myself shitfaced. damn.
very good quality prod. Impressive music and effects fit in well and create a nice mood. Definitively a thumbs up!
excess (æg på tysk) også læs det på norsk.
Yes. This is a DEMO
This demo rocks, nice work Excess (i own you!!)
atleast your demoskills are better than your drivng...
Haha, wicked!
A demo with attitude.

Inspired by State of Mind? Good stuff, Excess!
Nice one excess, give us some more from the place this came from ... :P - but did you have to drink all the beer in denmark ?
pretty darn sweet. could've been longer a bit..
great show
very cool, looks really good and has excellent syncing
and btw: ALL EXCESS MEMBERS WEAR MAKE-UP

coolie i just joined excess during se
yeah... this is great. excellent music, syncing, design and graphics.
though some 3d stuff and especially the texures were (at least a bit) disappointing. anyway nice work guys.

stil : so, you're back... and you joined excess... i think you made blowjob for that as you doing before, for it. But you will be happy if i say you that you will propably travel to an foreign island in one month :) stay tuned little scarabé
deserved to win. <repetetive joke>Shame abouit the software rendering Kusma </repetetive joke> ;)
Yeah! Soundtrack, font, design, noise, attitude. I love.
Running turtle speed here, but nice even though ...
cool track! - and nice visuals - deserved a longer running time :)
btw - it crashes on my work-pc's g-400 in the 'greeting scene' :/ (latest drivers)
what about a loop option =)

agree with sören here, overall coolness, and should've been a bit longer
short and sweet
short and sweet
gekko: I'm surprised it works that far at all :-) G400 doesn't support stencil buffers in hardware, which we use quite extensively, so it's quite unsupported, sorry :-)
sesse : actually the parts just before looks compleatly like they should...
- i still would enjoy the loop option at home!

looping the crash? :D
macaw: bluescreen with slow motion replay ;-)
all thumbs up for my prostitutes in excess!
a very nice production!

Totaly rulez !!! Sory for not greeting excess in "The Box" intro. Final version with greetings for you guys will be very soon.
Ohhh, crashes on my computer (wont even load). :(

Where can I download the music track?
irvin: state of mind? no, not really. i can't really see the similarities. =)
cloaked alien: you can download the music here:

D'arcy: thanks! The site seems to be down /(atm) though.
Reply from 80.232.5.16: bytes=32 time=20ms TTL=244 .. is your dns faulty? it pops up quite nicely here. :)
i wanna know if d'arcy is a hot gfx-chixxor or 'just' a female gfx-goblin =)
personally i prefer bad handwriting :)
Energetic. I like it very much.
It ran too slow on my unaccelerated Matrox G400, But the screenshots looks nice ;-F
yo, frenzy, drop over by me one day, and I'll show it to you ;)
Flawless design, great music. I expected more feeling out of it but it still is a kickass production.
thiz iz good!
wow! really cool demo. everything seems almost perfect.
very nice in between school feeling.
gekko: hot gfx-chixxor of course, all excess members are beautiful. :)
ofcourse .the.product made us beautiful
Quite nice indeed. good syncs, energetic music, nice fx etc.
fenz: want a divx? I added recording support to the demolib long time ago (unfortunately I forgot to include it in the compile, oh well :-P)...
A cool prod, nice effects and a little bit of amiga demo spirit...Buy It ! ;)
great stuff.. skål! :)
Roxx, but shorter and not as good as Amoeba
*insert yellow glove comment*
Me-too'ish in music, gfx, design and attitude.
Oh yes! Awesome shit!
Excessively cool!!!
erm. i dont get all the thumbs up but ok..
ps: me neither, but I'll just have to live with it :-)
rocks!
rocks!
Ooo, I like the style in this demo, and the music complimented the visuals quite nicely.
ooh, as i said, opengl working, and to what a sight :P
yes, the cube is nice :P btw, does excess have a thing for tounges? :P

Sesse : add LOOP-MODE! =)
gekko, try something like this in a batch file.
@echo off
:loopmode
demo-win32 -fullscreen -640x480
goto loopmode
(something like that anyway, it's been a while since i've used batch files :)

Love it !
Short, punchi, cool :)

BEST DEMO EVER
interesting start but crashes and dont ask me for a fkn config cos i got no clue whats inside my box
long time i haven't seen something like that !
It just rocks, really good work guys !
It just rocks, really good work guys !
too short, too simple, but packs a lot of punch :)
cool, kinda short (but yeah, you already read that). Gloom made some rockin' music again, and Excess are slowly crawling their way to the top of the Norwegian scene. Keep 'em coming!
now this one rocks!
It is very cool, and good looking...
...until it crashes.
But still, a good production :) Thumbs up!
REPRAZENT!!!
warp: Regarding the bug, it appears to be a gtk+ bug. If I don't set the locale, the problem goes away (I finally got ssh access on a machine with the problem :-) ). Try using the default locale (or remove the call to "gtk_set_locale" in main/linux-config/linux-config.cpp) -- anyhow, next Excess demo (ie. the one after Shapeshifter) will have fixed this problem ;-)
Bah, I forgot there was no source with this one. Oh well, you can still apply warp's workaround (which skips GTK+ altogether), unset your locale, or fix GTK+. :-P
(One could of course argue setting the locale makes it _correct_ for sscanf() to search for "," instead of "." when scanning floats, but I don't like the behaviour still :-P)
the bugs seems to occour when running with badly written and compiled code, perhaps changing code could be good i think its the problem or its just a '0 and an '1 that needs to switch place, use an hexeditor, you probably will find it, sometime... i mean.. y0 h4xx0r it .. with linux.. and runt it in beos, its cool , its free, and its not even exisiting, but its never been free, so no need to run it then... i guess you should just fix the code, its probably easier, or run it on a virtual PC and then manually fix some shit here and there, maybe not the best fps, but itll probably work, then you can save state and add cheats and such in the menus (alt+f6) so.. thats was prety much everything i guess, exept that it lacks the professional touch of code when it comes to stability and portability i guess, i think those could be worked on, but then again then we wont have thise bugs wich we can fill pages about, wich are cool, maybe you use wrong os? or bad compiler? maybe the texteditor youre using is unicode? i guess the truth is out there, does mulder code? has he ever used a debugger.. i think not then he wouldnt have time to chase aliens, he runs beos? i guess so, since he never uses a computer , oh , hes a gnu person, he doesnt use computers, only say that computers shall run free stuff, since computers are free anyways, i think i should goto bed ... now.
stefan: what the heck are you talking about? sure you didn't want to post that on the bbs or something, not here? :-)
i wanted to write it in the textbox and press submit i did i succeeded, you failed in understanding what i wanted, i guess its not my problem
ooohhh my god!!
OUTSTANDING.
Energetic, fast demo.
High quality profesional music.

Ups, I forgot this one? Fast paced with good synchs and kickass music, it's simply impressive
Not as cool as amoeba, but still well worth a thumb.
great agressive demo!
great! we want moreeee! excess rulez :)
Yes, we want more! Come on Excess, you released the best 2 demos of 2002 so why not do it again this year :)
I love the Excess style!! Tremendous music, synch and design, and some great looking effects too.
this is awesome. more love for squiddies!
(free tip: watch stoned :)

Damn, I discovered excess while listening to Nectarine and they really kick ass :). Original electro sounds and pretty dirty design.
The music simply blows me away. The demo is good too!
yeah
Great one!
Short and sweet, oldschool meets newschool with the vectorslime and text asking the viewer questions. I like. Pokes fun at the scene in it's current state too, which is nice.
great stuff!
MEGAdemo
you still suxx guys ! :)
elite.
Nice, but somehow empty. Void.
really nice. gloom's soundtrack is absolutely massive!
That demo definitively rocks! The music!
Nice synch and the slightest imaginable pinch of originality don't outweigh all the old effects and a somewhat plain & inconsistent look. No technical prowess lacking here but I've come to expect more.
me really like this one.
Oh No! It's a Squiddie!
I remember listening to that wicked tune in one of the demovibes CD a long time ago. Now I just enjoyed watching the demo to see how well the music fits with the visual. (how come have I not seen most of those great Excess demos before?)
i wish i had been there to get a beer from rasmus
not bad, not good.
Wierd Effects, great music not bad not good as anes says
what debug said
Gloom is great again.
nice.
Wicked
.
could run the ./demo-linux-oldg++.elf on modern linux! nice!
still like it!
me too
nice, especially the music
<3
Wot, no thumb from me yet?! Watched this a thousand times. Maybe the origin of that norwegian drum n bass demoscene era. Fabulous squid effects
Man, this is still so great. Too bad the current Youtube version has a texture fuckup creating a "grid" on the 2D gfx. Anyone able to do a better capture?
music!!! and nice rubber cube :)
this is really nice.
btw i would've been looking forward to the vinyl release of optimize's original track, if laxical didn't steal that track for one of his commercial releases... :(

break: It's a bug in the original engine (it splits up some images into tiles, since many 2002-era GPUs couldn't handle non-power-of-two textures—but due to lack of border texels, this causes gaps in higher resolutions, which we rarely tested). I've uploaded a fixed high-res render, five years after you asked. :-P
