In few days we should create the final version with datafile packed music. Because Lunatic Cam gave us a permission and asked to pack music in datafile. Or there will be some problems with their record label :) Our demo sucked. It was shown first in compo and there were some pauses between scene. Fuck.

Enjoyable and rather stylish w. good design ideas. Waiting for the final:)

i thought this was quite nice though a bit too dark. i also had pauses on my own pc. (256MB) good luck with finalization.

Great demo, a bit too dark at some places, but the design is _very_ good. I'm also waiting for the final version. And it was nice to see you Neonray at ASM :) Good luck!

crashed my office machine right at the oiltruck scene, it seemed to be working fine before that..
anyway, this is definitely one of unkle night_'s finest. 8) keep it up!

one of my lovely!
bhead: It just crashed my office machine too :) I think we've used a lot of RAM. We will create bugfixed final with upi/throb soon. This time enjoy by unfinished buggy version :)

nice music, and some interesting design elements..
Great style!

Fantastic work, very stylish and very well done.
Can't wait for the finished version. :)

good demo, it's not for 11 place.

Something original for a change. Rox. Should have been in the top 5 instead of fable.

Heh, metropol is the name is a gay club in murcia (my city :D). Haven't seen the demo yet, so no voting :-)
added on the 2002-08-09 19:50:17 by Jcl Jcl
Very nice and original. I really like it.

I just don't like groups that ostentate the incompleteness of their production.

I think I'll rate the final version.

ps: it looks quite ok as is.

visuals are nice. i just didn't like the music.
added on the 2002-08-10 16:46:42 by nosfe nosfe
A lot of people don't like the music :) But a lot of people like it :) Anyway, this is first demo with commercial music, which wasn't ripped. Thanks to Lunatic Calm :)
added on the 2002-08-11 00:04:44 by night_ night_
this rocked my arse man!!! nice visuals. nice overall design. (a lil bit dark, tho) !
rulez added on the 2002-08-11 00:55:59 by elend elend
At Assembly I thought this was a bit boring (dunno why), but now when I watched it again, it's actually pretty cool. And I really like the music too.
rulez added on the 2002-08-12 01:13:48 by teel teel
Yeah, this is nice. Urban (or whatever) without wandering into the realm of cheesiness. Some nice touches, such as text which has the same angle of perspective as the background.
rulez added on the 2002-08-12 04:12:27 by sea_monkey sea_monkey
ok :). if you downloaded partyversion of demo and like music, don't listen to the music via WinAmp or other players :)
added on the 2002-08-12 13:13:19 by night_ night_
Outstanding!
rulez added on the 2002-09-02 15:18:07 by Wade Wade
oh dear, it will take some time to fix that demo. but i will like it once it's done!

don't stop working, and test on every 3d-card you can get hold of!
added on the 2002-09-02 15:44:51 by chaos chaos
this demo is really cool.
typography was nice.
and very original.
It matches very much also about music.
rulez added on the 2002-09-10 20:21:24 by got got
And I don't know why we took only 11th place :) BTW, final version is almost ready :)
added on the 2002-09-12 13:46:28 by night_ night_
hm.. crashes pretty randomly... but the first 10 seconds or so i could see looked really promising. gimme final, final!
added on the 2002-09-18 13:37:12 by shiva shiva
Given the compatibility problems mentioned, I'm pretty surprised that it worked here without a problem even though I use an ATI card :)

On the demo itself: This-is-great-stuff. The graphics are not overly interesting, but kudos for actually asking instead of just ripping the music :), and the work on the design/synchronization is absolutely great. There's always something happening on the screen, always some details moving (just like in so abstract world), and I really appreciate how everything works together in this demo to create a great experience. I want more of that!
rulez added on the 2002-09-18 17:07:08 by ryg ryg
i dont know this commercial music, and they have the rights to use it, so it's more a videoclip than a demo
too much black on layers wich kills the texturing work
the music is mediocre, except one part wich is good for synchros ad well used
but in the globality, it's not fantastic, so a pig face for me.
(finish your work before present it please)
very very nice design + good ideas on how to introduce effects.
rulez added on the 2002-10-15 23:41:47 by florent florent
I can't finish metropol final version. Oh. Okey, I should do it, I should... Hm... What you think, if final version will be a bit different to party version? Not too much ;)
added on the 2002-10-18 20:07:26 by night_ night_
looking forward to the final version.

not seen yet, will watch it tonight
but i'm curious: how did you managed to get lunatic calm's permission ? who have you contacted for that ?
added on the 2003-01-21 08:40:43 by stil stil
excellent! i want a final version!
rulez added on the 2003-01-22 07:18:21 by stil stil
I contacted with sHack of Lunatic Calm and asked him to send his permission to ASM organizers. And he did it ;) We were speaking a lot with him about music, record label and quality of metropol's ogg.

crashes on winxp/c600/tnt2/128ram, perhaps needs more than i can give

a final version was cool!!!
some typography idea was good.
and music was good!!!!!!!!!

Quite different from the original one...

I really liked this one, but I think you should have better released directly THIS version at, say, Breakpoint.
added on the 2003-04-01 11:30:23 by pan pan
amazing. only thing i didn't like was the loussy noise effect... it should have been much softer IMO.
great nonetheless

I would like to change even final version ;) but It's time to do something new & much interesting. Thank you for loving our demo.

one of my favourites. this demo needs more attention!

somehow not my cup of tea :(

haven't seen the final version, but the compo version is way too uninteresting

May be because of party version was too dark ;)

the final was very nice. had a decent pace and a stylish aproach to it. it was also directed smoothly and the music was fitting.
props.
rulez added on the 2003-04-20 16:55:24 by funktion funktion
this is the type of demo you MUST give a "rulez". the direction is simply sensational, the music fits, and the design is just right! you guys do stuff daaaamn right!

And additonal thumbs up for NOT ripping the music, but asking the author!
added on the 2003-05-08 20:06:07 by Gargaj Gargaj
great design but..
it loaded longer than it played and was rather choppy. sad to see good prod let down by the lack of optimisation

maybe I`ll enjoy it when I get 512 ram/128video

I like the darkness and atmosphere very much,. noise,.. mm.. perhaps it wants to hide the ugliness of some parts, adds to the atmosphere anyways. Nice demo with a theme.

Damn great, one of the few pure 3d demos from the era that looks pretty good a lot of the time even. Same tricks still being used today :), i.e. put enough junk on top of everything to obscure the ugly stuff out.
