Never trust an Amiga rotozoomer.
So much amazing code in this demo!
I always love dot effect, and the 3d rotating dots are great. Not quite 7424 individual dots set each frame, though, right? I count 1856 per bitplane. But they do look like they have perspective correction, no symmetry (maybe 1 axis?), and are morphing, which makes it impressive. Dot tunnel is great, and I love the twisting rotzoomer.
I felt the demo was music and graphics didn't live up to the insanely high quality of the code, though. It was pretty solid, but IMO it didn't all fit together completely. I would have liked a more coherent art direction, consistent or complementary color schemes, and script effect changes timed to match music beats. I think that could have highlighted the effects further? Also, and any demo over 4k that uses system fonts feels lazy.
Still, this was a great production, that just feels a little rushed.

Very cool production.
The "feedback + scaling" effect with a vector object on top of a red feedback backgound does seem somewhat familiar though. :-P
But you guys really made a great demo here, with a massive amount of effects.

Overstays it’s welcome.
Wow! There are lots of effects, most of them amazing. I have a lot of respect for all the hard work that goes into it.
I still need to see it running on real hardware, since I only have an A500 with 1 MB + floppy + Gotek. How can I run the demo on my machine?

Here is a Gotek-friendly version in HFE format. Was a bit of work since no converter wanted to properly convert it.

Very nice and well designed, my personal 1st place. :-)
Excellent demo with many good effects and a very interesting hidden part: a music disc full of fantastic chiptune tracks, which includes the option to exit and continue watching the demo.
Many Great effects, a tad too long, but I was genuine excited while watching it. Music feels a bit like leftovers from TEK prod, but its ok. A bit more bangin' would have been even better. Why the C64 style font though? All in all, great OCS prod!
That was insane. Thanks TomCat666 for the HFE image, can't wait to try this on real hardware!
Really really liked it a lot after rewatching -- I'd highlight the massive amount of dots for sure, and of course it feels like a very big demo for a single floppy.
Massive congrats!! ^_^
Massive congrats!! ^_^
Great effectshow, nice tune. Aesthetically and thematically erratic, but most of all I think it would have been so much better without all the prompted stuff.
Impressive code and great soundtrack!
Effectbonanza!
Are the gfx actually AI slop? Some of them look like AI slop…
I love how this never stops pushing the limit until the end!
A perfect blend of 90's nostalgia and cutting-edge code!
Well done!

really kick ass tech would have preferred different presentation but a great demo anyway !
Nice Demo. Do not get this to run on my A500. My Gotek isn't able to read the 2MB? ADF disk.
Some superb quality code rolled into a classic trackmo effects show, really good.
While I do love a custom disk format but I'm not sure I agree with them being used for demos. As already seen in the comments, it becomes a barrier for people who want to run it on real hardware.
I will of course be writing it to disk and checking your MFM data!

I posted a link to the HFE image that works properly on Gotek and a real amiga a few posts up.

It has all of the usual tells, including too many fingers on the right hand of the ninja.
It isn’t the Amiga compo without some slop!

Hmm … left hand has 5 fingers, right hand has 4 fingers (while you cannot see the thumb). The upper most »finger« of the right hand looks like a part of the sword hilt to me.
It's great seeing Binary back in activity. This is a really solid A500 demo that was clearly put together with a lot of care. Great music too.
The elephant in the room for me is that many of the graphics have the telltale signs of being made with Gen-AI and that gives the demo a rather uninspired and disjointed look. The logos by Capitano on the other hand are very stylish - I assume these are hand-made.
