Superb AGA demo that even works on unexpanded A1200!
Nice graphical attack! Good music in old demostyle!
Congrats!

After falling in love with AGA copper-lists they will soon forget about PCs :)

Finally an AGA-Demo on affordable Hardware. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks! Hope for more Amiga Demos from cocoon.

It's both correct somehow. :) It's the first Cocoon Amiga demo but not the first Amiga demo made by the involved people. :)

Huge resprect for cocoon for doing an Amiga demo! And also thumb up doing it for vanilla 1200 :) Nice effects and music was also ok.

This demo is about going down to hell and come back...in many ways

I'm thinking this copperlist must look interesting. Scrolling in all kind of directions/playfields and then sprites (object seems 256x256 size) on top and below of it all. Also shifted on certain scanlines.

So @krabob I get why you say you have a copperlist compiler now :)

Nice, i really enjoyed this one.

A bit strange but there are many good elements in it

personally, i thought this demo should've won. For 020/AGA and 2MB Chip, this runs pretty fast. I really liked the fact that it run on Fullscreen. Amiga demos usually tend to use a smaller viewport these days, so i was pretty happy that this one used almost the whole screen! Nice effects, nice colors and good music! Thank you cocoon! This is my personal winner of the compo!

Good compo by great guys :-)
Love the effects, the gfx and the tune

Nice to see you back on Amiga under a new label. A bit simple but pleasant show. Cool artwork. I think that Amiga 060 would be a better target platform for the next Cocoon demos ;)

interesting with plain A1200 demo, but the music was a bit meh.....
added on the 2017-04-24 16:00:20 by Frequent Frequent
Hm, somehow this doesn't really appeal to me. Music sounds like from 20 years ago, and the while the effects might be nice technically (and yes I agree that it's good to see a bigger viewport for a change!), they still have the looks from 20 years ago. Not my cup of tea...

Nice.

great demo
nice gfx

What Kylearan said. Then again, those shifted scanlines do have a hypnotic quality to them.

Vanilla magic. Gorgeous parallax scrolling and pixelwork.

Colour-fade from logo was a bit off. But other than that really well done. Your main effect obviously looked best in the last screen. Actually perfectly executed.

Congrats on celebrating your anniversary with two releases, Amiga and PC, at Revision. That was massive!

nice demo for plain AGA Amiga..

Fabulous candy for the vanilla A1200. Much love!
rulez added on the 2017-05-07 21:19:52 by grip grip
Really nice effects and tricks. After watching it I feel like it's all a bit of a blur though. I guess it might be because there's no real sync with music and some routines are shown many times. The super hires scrolling distortion looks amazing. Especially in that full screen Cocoon logo.

pretty nicely paced. in the end it works out perfectly.
style is 1oo% syndrome. respect and congrats!

This demo impressed me very much! It is totally my style with its oldschool effects adapted to a plain AGA machine. You know how to rock this machine! Keep on your good work.

Good effects and nice graphics but it does all look and feel pretty dated. Don't want to discourage as I think the scene needs WAY more vanilla AGA demos.

I spotted pretty much all of the samples from previous modules and demos. With a raft of free samples and even free vst synths online, there is no real excuse in this day and age for using really old ripped samples (unless of course this tune was written 20 years ago and it was just smashed into the demo, then I'd kinda forgive that)

Hoffman : actually the tune was written in 1992. We had no musician when we started this project.

Fantastic looking 3D and fine pixeling.
Also happy to hear the classic Pandemonium (scene-wise) beat again.

Cool stuff guys, more plz! Music is well, '92 - but at least its something other than "oldskool whiny kikkelijazz" style :)

Solid prod for stock AGA, inconvex not proven, usual mumble about converted dithered pics especially when not necessary.
