This is just massive. Lovely autumnal feeling, great wistful music, fantastic effects, awesome graphics all around. One of my favorite C64 demos ever.

Had some very beautiful moments and made me forget I watching a C64 demo at times.
rulez added on the 2012-10-28 10:57:09 by visy visy
Most original design and effect ideas I have seen in a C64 demo. This is just beautiful, this is massive. You can't go wrong with any of it's parts!

Wonderful demo! I did not expect to see such a demo with this style and mood from Hitmen

Excellent graphics, great music and some really nice effects. Also the most beautiful "turn disk" part I sever saw in a C64 demo.
rulez added on the 2012-10-28 11:26:52 by StingRay StingRay
Wow, very nice effects combined with stylish art. +1 for the turn disk park, I didn't want to attach disk 2 for long time ;)

Hitmen's best demo since 1989

Absolutely beautiful demo with even more astonishing soundtrack, the SID was made for soundtracks like this.

Tangerine Dream-like music, cramed on one SID, while playing AAA-quality effects. The parallax-scrolling screen looks like a billion bucks, and one more billion for the bad weed growth O_o

My soon to be 2yo daughter approved! We watched the demo together while she was having her meal, she was signing birds, ball, flowers and trees and saying Hi! and Bye bye to the scorchered man :D

Very nice, but a bit uneventful and lengthy. Music is the highlight for me.

Beautiful. I especially liked the flower-drawing :)
rulez added on the 2012-10-28 17:42:48 by Photon Photon
to slow for my taste but still nice
It's a good one, but it was dragging its feet quite a bit. I wish that at least the music would be a bit more upbeat and less lethargic.

plenty of stuff here to enjoy, but as others pointed out - the music, the growing plant with credits, and the turn disk part were definitely highlights :)

This demo should have been named Arthrosis! There is so much midlife crisis in here ;) But that's the way... the scener is getting older. Decent show and nice effects. By the way, the wings were on the breast of the man, didn't they?

Holy jumping jack, the credits part just floored me.
All the attention to those little, yet important details make it a through and through finished piece of art.

Overwhelming amount of GFX and excellent mood created by the tune. The bad weeds growing big part is my favourite.

Beautifull work with very interesting ideas most of the time. Some times a bit boring though. Music is relaxing but somewhat too repetitive, theme change would have been appreciated.

What a powerful demo. Hitmen just rulez! Great music, graphics and effects. And a lot of art not just effects. Every part of the demo rocks and is made with "C64-love". My favourite demo of the year! Hitmen - you are gods !!!!!

nice! very oldschool but original, and wildly so in some parts. great attention to detail. it's just so hard to explain why this demo leaves such a good impression. to me it feels like being up in the attic again, with only your home computer to keep you company, totally immersed in this world of wonders. fantastic! keep up the good work.

Well, this demo brings something strange.
The music is not my cup of tea. Or coffee, since i don't drink tea. Yeah, that'd fit better. So let's say it's my cup of tea.
The graphics, though, are awesome. Except for some stuff here and there that could have been done definitely better.
The demo itself is boring. Why that 567minutes long parallax thingie at 4:20? This made me go to youtube to get to the next scene. Seriously. And it's really a pity.

iks: its the "turn disk part"... (look up the gfx at the top). the guy recording the intro seemed to like it and recorded it for a while. usualy you can leave the part within seconds if you want.

anyway, its so nice to see that you like our demo and our comeback. it really means something to me.. thanks =)

Deepest respect for this is absolutely gorgeous. The tune carries it through and the new variations of old effects surprise you at every turn, but for me it is the undercurrent that matters most and the undercurrent is very strong here. Thank you.
