Mooh, nice renderings but terrains in 53KB is not impressive and requires Win8 (MBs of dlls?) + powerful graphic card ?!
Nice concept to show off generated terrain :) The powerful graphics card requirement is no joke though, my Titan wept at some points :D

i liked the dust effect and the synced glow (no pun intended) in the pipes! oh and that cosmiq and cyrax finally made sure captain overdistorted lead sound was held back for once!!! ;)

I really loved the music in this one.

Think I spot some reuse of ideas but makes a very good 64k, as expected from Inque

Nice tech and music, and probably the best design I've seen in an Inque 64k in a while :)

Cool terrian!
rulez added on the 2015-08-03 22:18:05 by Manwe Manwe
really lacks variety in the four scenes; they're all more or less "plane with noise and shit sticking out", but I liked the music and it felt nice to watch :)
rulez added on the 2015-08-03 22:19:02 by ferris ferris
Not as good as Reasons and Iterate, but still very enjoyable fly-by upon weird landscapes. Nice credits

I miss more "weirdness" of previous Inque intros :)

Simple idea but done very well, all the scenes really look great. Would love to run this ony my computer but I have win7 is there any simple way this could be fixed to run on win7?

Gorgeous. Feels different in a very good way.

I really liked this, possibly my favorite Inque prod after Antiphore. Really sophisticated earth tone colors and great shading. All of the different visuals envelope nicely together, which becomes evident in the wonderful looking polyptych. Music and synth are average but alright (antiphore still sounded better).

Looks wonderful!

According to Steam hardware & software survey for July 2015, Windows 7 currently represent 54% of the user base (32 et 64 bit combined). Only 37% are on Windows 8 to 10. I assume similar figures for Pouet.

I wonder what is the technical justification for this demo to be unable to run on over half its intended audience PC? From a technical perspective, what makes this demo impossible to run on Windows 7? I'm sincerely curious to know.

a bit too boring for me!
but ace rendering and music ofcoz!

Rendering quality (except text quality at times—perhaps the capture I saw was to blame there, though?) is obviously high, but it does feel very much like the same flyby scene rendered ten times with different colors.

ramon: windows 8 is currently required because I use the latest version of the xaudio library (v2.8) for the audio playback, which is only available in windows 8. You're right that this really limits the target audience; I just haven't had enough time to upgrade my soundsystem code.
added on the 2015-08-10 13:17:29 by glow glow
glow: Thanks for the clarification. Just for fun, I took the xaudio2_8.dll from my Windows 8 setup in VMware and tried it on my Windows 7 host. It obviously didn't work. *BUT*, amazingly enough, the demo actually ran in VMware Window 8 using the "Windows basic renderer Driver"!!! More like like a slide show (software rendering), even in 640X480, but it ran.

An updated version of the demo compatible with Win 7 that use xaudio2_7.dll would be appreciated! Here is my motivational thumb up! :)

The coherent style reminds me of Offscreen Colonies (even if it's completely another topic). I really like the nice landscapes and their colors. The music could have been a lot better: It is a bit slow-pacing, the synth settings are not perfectly chosen and the music feels a bit out of sync at times which might be the cause of lagging behind attack phases. Still - it's worth the thumb.

Good direction and shading, but the terrain seems to be plain perlin noise or something simiar; a bit more simulation (e.g. erosion) could have improved it.
