Very nice, especially for a first demo! Very good concept and nice music. The visuals need some improvement, and why are the movements of that earth elemental so choppy? But overall still very enjoyable.

By the way, I was the 6th person downloading this. Only the 6th! It came in 8th place out of 17, runs fine on old hardware, has no YouTube video, and only 5 other people downloaded this in one week? Really? That's sad. :(

Anyway, I hope you won't be discouraged by that and make more demos - I'm looking forward to those!

Thanks for the comments guys!

This is Sundancer, I wrote the code and music for this demo. We really tried to do something impressive for our first demo, and actually we almost did not submit it because we only managed to finish a part of what we planned.

It was about one hour before the deadline when we decided that if we do not submit the demo, all the work will be wasted. So this is why it quite short and unpolished.

I also had to cut the music shorter to fit the demo. I will upload the full length music on soundcloud, but it needs a little bit more work.

Anyway, it was very challenging but we enjoyed it. Your feedback is very very appreciated!

Cheers!

@Kylearan: The movement of the earth elemental is choppy because there is a bug in the animation interpolation which I had no time to fix :)

First prod, first demoparty, first partyhack...worth a thumb alone!
But the Demo itself, eventho unpolished with some bugs and a too shaky camera (well, partyhack!), is worth to be thumbed, altho it´s quite far away from what i consider a good demo...but thats just the oldskooler in me...effects please! ;)
I wonder what you can come up with when you take your time! ;)
Moar plz!

Animations need interpolation. But nice for firsty.

The spinning camera reminds me of Ape Escape on the PlayStation. It's one of those "magical video game memories" of mine, if you know what I mean, so I can't help but thumb this up. The starry skydome in the final shot is pretty dope as well.
