[22:34] <tobi> die demo ist hundertprozentig dieselbe, der einzige unterschied ist ein compilerswitch

Did this win??? boring flyby with horrible music. Only thing that was cool, was the pipes and the lightning

ok so now it works, altho i'm not sure if i wanted to see this.
no thumb down because obviously AEG's 3D work saves the demo once again, and DAMN the volumetric lightbeam thingy ruled :)
but... (here we go again)
- the music sounded like what probably MWNN was producing back in '93... by default there's nothing wrong with that but it sounded so... "empty", it needed more "energy"
- THE FONTS!!! MY GOD, THE FONTS!!! i mean people've been complaining about ugly aliased systemfonts since Adrenaline, is it REALLY hard to realize that they might be right? :D seriously... so many free font resources on the web, why stick to Arial? pleeeease? pretty please?
- the texts... "we will x-ray you" must be the weirdest text in a demo ever :D i mean, the "we ... you" cliches are generally overused but this just made it hilariously bad :)
- the feedback/crashzoom/whatever effect applied on the creditz is like... wow. i mean, was that supposed to be serious? :)

to sum it up once _again_ there's insane modelling and texturing work involved but the aesthetics which would've made this great are completely missing... and the thing i feel sorry the most about is that it wouldn't have taken really much time and effort to fix most of these glitches, just get a decent fontset, put the text on an 512x512 texture and run some photoshop filter on it...

i think finally you might want to ask someone to check the design thingies before you release :)

i'm with you on those volumetric lightbars gargaj - definitively the coolest thing in the demo. :)

the latest version worked, and it was actually one of the more okayish flybys i've seen lately, but all in all too boring.. and the music wasn't very good.

Maybe I'm a bit biased because I am an organizer for both parties, but when AEG showed some engine outputs before Evoke it grew on me more and more with every new preview.

For my taste the music fits the demo pretty well so I don't worry about, I somehow really like it.

Texts... Yeah, this destroyed that demo a bit for me, but hey, it is an invitation. ;) A texts off function is requested, maybe they somewhen will have the time for this feature.

About the font I only can say "form follows function" (please make a joke including function party _now_) - I have no problem with it.

Boring flyby... come on guys, do you really want rotating cubes? ;)

i wish i had more hands so i could give this demo four thumbs down.

I very like a SD 3D demos, AEG is a great modeler, I like the music (yes it is a cheap techno, but fit together with 3D world like this or in Weltenkostrukt). Two thumbs up !

Improve your font !!!! From 1998 to 2004 I se same simple font in SD demos !

Okay
It's nearly as good as the second place "The Everlasting Blink".

I don't think this is very good compared to Adrenalin for example....
