I love originality !

Really great job guys, and thank you for the trying something original / with a concept.

They are things to say (pacing, some ubernice scenes and some quite ugly), but the work is awesome and the result very charming (and the music rulez).

Huge thumb up for your first demo/intro!

Awesome. The very last scene took this one even further. :)

Thanks all for the awesome feedback.

@mueslee : definitely.

@xernobyl : try using a different resolution. We are yet to nail that issue.
added on the 2010-08-29 00:09:30 by Zavie Zavie
I really like the city and the endpart was a nice surprise too. Other than that I find it a bit uneventful and the rather boring music didn't really help. Still, nice intro and quite impressive for a firstie.

I reaaallly loved it at the compo. With a little bit more shading/lighting/postprocessimg, it would be one of my all time favorites. Simple concept, extremely well executed.

I can't say it is beautiful, but:
1) Respect for such a huge work.
2) It was interesting to watch. This definetely makes intro to be thumb-upped.
rulez added on the 2010-08-29 09:02:46 by stan_1901 stan_1901
Wow, impressive amount of work, a nice story, some beautiful scenes, music pretty. Would deserve some postprocessing, better color/theming of some scenes, but definitely a breakthrough for a 1st prod, congrats!

Some interesting movement, but looks absolutely horrible!

Some great ideas but some ugly transitions and presentation. I like the game of life and the subpixels. I didn't like the fullscreen giant pixels effect or the music. So pig.

Incredible job you've made boys !! Writting the song from the storyboard was something really special... hear it with this demo is incredible !! I was realy proud you let me once again work you, getting out my Pause Mode... I realy would like to add vocals to the song, but it was absolutly not so easy ;)

For the one, who like the songs, i've just uploaded the song : I love cube, before incubation on my website, this the version written, just before the last adjustment from LLB to fit more well to the demo !!

@gloom: there's still an unresolved issue we're working on; try with a smaller resolution, it should work just fine.
added on the 2010-08-30 14:55:50 by Nicuveo Nicuveo
To begin with I was going to stay this lacked any feeling - however once passed through the factory scenes it gets much better and I especially like the cube trees (towards the end) and the end scene itself is very nice - enjoyable music too.

Thanks again for your feedback all. Your comments are very much appreciated and give us much insight on what to get improved for next time.

The resolution bug seems to be happening to many people, which means it should be quite straightforward to fix. Honestly, we've been nothing much but resting since Evoke. ;-) So be a bit patient for the final version.

Anyway, here is a captured video.
