damn, this should have been released in the BP'09 wild/anim compo instant winner ;-)

hehe magic :)

i think its a bit to long for a compo entry :)

Could've been shown outside the compo though.

But that's an amazing feat. I haven't watched it all (don't know if I ever will), but 10 geek points from me :)
Excellent job man :) I had a very good time watching it and as a musician I've been quite impressed by the re-arrangement of the songs.
Thank you for sharing it and it really needs to be shown on the big screen at BP09 !

funny that you actually deleted the "noone in alcatraz gave you permission to do this" comment...
well, nice effeort but the 3d looks really old fashioned

yeah why make video 3d look very simple like nytik says. it can be easy make it a demo exe. also is this made by alcatraz team?

as if demomaking wouldnt be waste (of time) always,haha....

dunno,maybe they got permission afterwards and deleted that "no permissions"-comment just then? if not...that would be just bad !

for the actual animation: YUP,quite succeeded there...but thanx for killing my 4k-concept :P
The music is outstanding and the 3d work is insane. It does look a bit dated, but still very impressive work!

That said, I'm kinda disappointed that we (the reformed Alcatraz) weren't given the opportunity to work with you on this as I think we could have made a real nice realtime remake, with new logos, shaders and a more upto date look.

Sagamusix: the comment was deleted by prefilm (mat recardo, the boy behind the animations) after we had a talk in #atz with s7ing , mop and other atz members.

don't forget. it's for free and was for free in past :) means: public domain productions doesn't need any permissions...

do you want to tell me now that demoscene releases are commercial enough to pay gema & other copyright-house payments and that all demosceners and hobbygraphicans/musican need permissions for creating remakes of free amigacontent ?

Oh then i think, there's a lot of remakes here and there without permissons. :)

warhead: nah... just fun on a release...

to all other: thanks for watching it :)

Wade: Sorry to inform you such late... but i already had a talk with s7ing month ago about that project. he doesn't want to work under "alcatraz" on a remake of odyssey and doesn't want to work on odyssey 2 etc...

we always said that we dont want to do an odyssey remake on pc or even a sequel. and i fully support that opinion.

i appreciate it anyway as what it its: a nice remake with excelent music remix and quite nice gfx (though it looks a bit dated in some scenes).

good work and thanks :)

haha,good i was right...

but maybe some other ppl would have liked to help aswell ?? too late ;)

but as it turned out that good compared to what i was expecting after getting linked to it via pouet...
...nice musical score there! not too far from gregs work! and visually maybe obvious you dont do it everyday,but still very appealing!

we could have made that 4k a trailer!! lol...but too late is too late!
(that´ll be the thing with "surprise-prods" forever i guess)
daxx/the producers couldnt know btw...as i was going for surprise aswell! if no words get shared...things just happen like this,haha! i´m not mad about it aswell btw!

Oh right, I didn't know you had already discussed it, but I'm glad you decided to release the project anyway. I enjoy these remixes a lot and hope to see more like this in future.

Yeah, the music was ace, and the graphics looked quite dated, but then it does have a huge number of scenes, even if it's only half the length of the original. To be fair, they look a lot more high-tech than the original blitter vectors. :]

Still it's not really Odyssey isit.

very babylon 5

I remember hearing Babylon 5 was done on Amigas, or at least the first seasons. So that's very fitting. ;)
