Starlight's first demo ever, made during the party.

Party version, needs a fast GPU.
Might not work on your system if you don't have an Nvidia-based card.

Wait for the final version.

?too long tunnel error at demo virus
the music is cool, but those never ending tunnels were really booooooooooring.

Some good material wasted. They seem to have a great potencial though =)

Not bad at all for a first demo. Decent modelling and also the music turned out to be pretty good in the end (vocals in Apoptygma Berzerk style helps a lot). Next time just try to think of something else than mere space station tunnels, ok? :)

indeed a worthy winner, and kudos for trying.. they could have gone to TP and won a lot of money, but stayed in gothenburg and had fun with us :) oh and good models there

pretty cool for a first demo, next time try to include more than one effect :)

The tunnel actually looks cool. and the elevator sequence in the beginning was cool.

keep up the good work, im looking forward to your future productions.
rulez added on the 2002-12-31 15:19:01 by a_lee_n a_lee_n
Yep, definitely a cool first effort. Somewhat slow here (p2-450, gf1 *cough*), but what the heck. You've successfully proven that you can do demos, I'm waiting for your next production with more, uh, content :)

Oh, and the music is cool, but make that APB style ("Paranoia" in this case) less obvious, ok? ;)

really kb, i don't know what you're talking about. =)

good textures and the first scene really sets the mood. the music is also very good. unfortunately the intro gets repetitive and boring and doesn't feature any "real" demo-effects as far as i can see, but a very good first demo. keep it up! :)
added on the 2002-12-31 16:33:39 by gloom gloom
great music!
A outside scene friend of mine liked the "music video" very much. =)
Good job!

Would have been better without the never-ending 3D tunnels. Some nice work by the graphician tho. =)

Very good for a first production. Nice scenes.

Strange though, it claims to need a fast graphics card, but the demo seems like software rendering. I didn't get any texture filtering... Oh well, maybe I need my eyes checked.
Didn't quite want to run here. Waited a few seconds, got some music, waited a few more seconds, got a screen with the group name, waited 10 more, got another frame, then gave up and had to hard-reset. Guess I'll have to wait for the final. Athlon 1400, Win98, DX8.1, 512MB, GF2Pro, Det41.09.
added on the 2003-01-03 22:41:13 by phoenix phoenix
Hmm,.. is it software or not? Nvidia and GPU it says, but the textures seemed to me not billinear filtered and stuff, so I thought it was software engine and at the beginning I was impressed. But looked good anyways..
rulez added on the 2003-01-04 09:09:30 by Optimus Optimus
its hardware rendered, dont know why they disabled the texture filtering tho.
added on the 2003-01-04 10:14:39 by a_lee_n a_lee_n
shit! i really liked this! im impressed starlight. dragonfly, your song was great! and kudos to fox and the rest in starlight
rulez added on the 2003-01-05 03:18:07 by mempheria mempheria
yeah, uhm, sorry about the texture filtering mistake, I must have copy-paste:d some code that turned it off.. won't happend again =)

will be fixed in the final version along with the other bugs.. and hopefully it'll be faster as well =)

but anyway, thanks for all your positive and constructive comments, we really appreciate it!

and yes, next time we'll have more "content" =) we just didn't have time..
added on the 2003-01-05 19:48:25 by fox fox
great, i like this, the graphics are good (ish), and as you mentioned in the readme, see if you can fix the artifacting on the radeon >9000 (missing geometry) for the final.

and, the music... ^_^
well, that was really something else. What a great track, one of the best tracks i have heard in a very long time.
Any chance of releasing it on its own somewhere?

As a first production though, if you can bring it all together with some content, new effects, and a little more speed, it looks very promising.

sorry for the delay, but the almost-final version is here.. texture filtering is now ON ;)
and it should work on ati-cards as well as matrox cards..

Nice music, a 2d pic, toruses, ball effect and lots of tunnel flyby. Not completely worthless but not really enough to turn the thumb to anything but down.

yep
probably the 3rd best demo ever using neuropol font!!

here are the lyrics i could vaguely figure out, hope they are right, couldn't find an official lyrics file anywhere.

cant you hear me calling you / far from here i see right through / are you hearing me / to the dark reality / cant you feel me deep within / electricity on skin / are you feeling me / radiating energy
