The effects are nice, but I’m a bit concerned about the image in the screenshot. It’s AI-generated, right? But there’s nothing about that in the info. Or am I wrong?

bitl: There's no mention of AI in the nfo because I pixelarted the image in Aseprite with dithering brushes. I went over every pixel with my bare hands ;)
...take a close look at the details around the eyes, mouth, and nose.
I'd want to know what kind of AI you'd train for this. :))

I mean, I’ve seen tons of AI-generated art with similar colors and a similar style... And AI-pictures can always be manually tweaked to make it look more like handrawn pixel art. I kinda suspect some people do that :)

Anyway, sorry if I’m wrong. Guess you’re just really good at pixel art and I’m being paranoid lol.

Very nice! In particular, the liquid moon part looked really good.

Being somewhat of a purist, I can’t judge the demo on technical grounds, as I’m not entirely familiar with the Next platform. That said, it looks well executed, and honestly, the sheer magnitude of Shrek’s output deserves a thumbs-up in its own right :)

Wow, that's nice!

Nice fresh demo!

amazing.
The first scene with the sun and water feels like a nod to the 90s.
Then, the tunnel? It looks really interesting—the way a sine wave was applied to the texture!
The scene with the scrolling text feels a bit weak compared to the "coronavirus infection" effects.
The flying "zoids" (not sure what the proper term is)—synchronized with a rewind effect—are fire!
The zooming out of the text, the synchronization—everything is spot on!
The "liquid light" scene—the sun from the first part sets, the moon appears and illuminates the waves on the water—it’s beautiful.
The music is very intriguing; I wonder how many different tools or resources were used to create it.

Very cool.
The first scene with the sun and water feels like a nod to the 90s.
Then, the tunnel? It looks really interesting—almost as if a sine wave has been applied to the texture :)
The scene with the scrolling text feels a bit weak compared to the other effects.
The flying "zoids" (not sure what the proper term is)—the synchronization with the rewind effect is fire!
The zooming out of the text—the synchronization is spot on throughout!
The "liquid light" scene—the sun from the first part fades out, the moon appears and illuminates the waves on the water—it’s beautiful.
As for the music, I’m curious how many channels were used.
Love color palette. Looked awesome on the big screen!
