Massive visuals and direction.
But the soundtrack bothers me.
For my taste it is too much reuse of instruments and style but at the same time much less impact / assistance for the visuals than in your previous demos.
Great stuff nevertheless.

rulez added on the 2018-08-05 11:38:57 by wbcbz7 wbcbz7
Some points near the start are a bit shaky for me, but after that it's crazy crazy good. Best moments:


  • Boat scene at the start, the shading is fantastic.
  • All the scenes with an ocean surface, they look super good and are well-composed. City under the ocean looks awesome too.
  • The disintegrating and combusting statue.
  • Figures rising from the city with hearts. So good to see glow that does not saturate to white but still looks good, haha.
  • Saturated / painted sparkling trees. This was really well composed, and works great with the silhouetted figures. I love it.


Overall really fresh and I'll point out that the colours are extremely good throughout.
rulez added on the 2018-08-05 11:54:41 by fizzer fizzer
These are some blasting visuals! Thats some next level stuff I've yet to see topped.

So of course a thumb, but since these guys are like veteran demomakers... I cant help myself share one point of criticism:

What stuck out the most to me is the mismatch between the music and the visuals. It started with the opening scene with the pier has a lot of fast scenes and transitions, while the music is soft and soothing; and it remained to be quite inconsistent from there on. I can only imagine that a lot of work went into this demo, but it feels the audio and synchronisation missed out on some attention over the visuals.

What Sesse said
rulez added on the 2018-08-05 12:20:10 by Asato Asato
Massive visuals with traditional ASD "progress rock" music, with some traditional origins made by ASD years before....Visuals are eyecandy, smooth, polished to flawless beuaty. But I hardly see coherence between visuals and music, some sync is needed.

This demo requires about 6GB of GPU ram to run, and in order to view it realtime at 1080p at 60fps, you'd need a 1080ti.

Ok, so there you go with 1GB+ of data (I remember the size limit discussion).

But guess what: I was watching it only on youtube anyway :P

> This demo requires about 6GB of GPU ram to run.
One thing for sure: this demo is trying to push hardware/size boundaries, which I actually like.
Could it be done with lower specs? Until I would try it myself, I don't really know.

really awesome visuals and i somehow connect it with the refugee thing going on. dont know if this is intentional but it really, really touches me.
The soundtrack could have gone a bit further, but its not bad.
rulez added on the 2018-08-05 17:30:41 by wysiwtf wysiwtf
@wysiwtf: I wondered about the very same thing; here's from the Twitch chat (I removed some irrelevant lines):

Code:02:08 < si_amusic> @sesse_ we never delve into politics in our demos. Never have and never will 02:09 < sesse_> @si_amusic but there were, for one, people that I could interpret as refugees. 02:10 < sesse_> @si_amusic of course, this is what you get when you make something open to interpretation :-) 02:10 < si_amusic> @sesse_ true :P but no.. no politics in our demos whatsoever
added on the 2018-08-05 17:48:28 by Sesse Sesse
Leia in fact asked me if the theme of the demo was related to the recent wildfires in Athens (which is not as the visuals for the demo had been completed months earlier than that), however Leviathan lives in the area that got burnt. The night of the fire he was at home composing for the track, while having one eye and ear out the window in case he needed to evacuate his home so he doesn't get burnt alive.

Fortunately for him, the fire stopped about a click away from his home.

And @sesse, i missed the refugees mention in our convo in the stream chat. I too get a strong "uprooting of people from their home" vibe in the scene with the buffalo and the rising human models. In fact the vocal chant in the background is an homage to that (though it pertains to a much much older uprooting in the greek history). I'm not sure that can be construed as a political message though.

But in any case, I'm happy that people noticed that in this particular scene, and not the fact that the buffalo has two penises :P

In stark contrast to the winning FLT demo I can only tell you guys that this ranks equally as highly for me! *we need joint firsts sometimes* ... For me this exhibits a deep and acknowledged theme, both experienced and understood but its creators. And thus presented in a way that requites impeccable skills to employ to the viewer. Your team is BRILLIANT!

I can only ever admire such wonderful inracacy and diverse understanding as this, like I said it is in complete contrast to the FLT nu-media shine, but is in of itself absolutely incredible in it's own way.

Emotion, theme, connection through scenes, there is so much more to this than warrants more than one viewing. I absolutely love it,, the graphics, code, and sound, and organic connection between them all, thank you <3

It is ambitious and has absolutely amazing moments. I cannot in my right mind not thumb this up. However, as a long-time fan of ASD I cannot help but noticed far too many re-used ideas from your own previous demos. Maybe intertextuality was the design goal, but to me it was often too familiar.

So many distinct stunningly beautiful moments.

However, there is something here that bothers me a bit. The rendering quality is stellar, but with the quality comes a sort of an uncanny valley in my eyes, and I don't quite connect the music with the visuals. Maybe it's just too prog for me and I better enjoy the parts for what they are.

I entered the demoscene in 2016 and one of the first demo I saw was an ASD one. Instant love for this group <3 but I though I'll never saw new things from them and that I joined the community too late.

So thank you for this amazing stuff <3 I'm so thrilled and I really love this demo, thank you thank you thank you <3
In my opinion everything is perfect with it! The music is so nice and the visuals... well just heart breaking :)

This is a masterpiece. But also it is so poignant. I think there is an underlying message about the rising death cult of fascism across our world, especially in Greece, with all these visions of armageddon. At the same time, while nature is trying to escape from all the terror we're bringing, we don't even notice it and we all live our lives completely disconnected from it, immersed into our own little reality bubbles, some of us burning ourselves out with work, others witnessing it and drowning in our own sorrows with depression, all trying to cope with the prospect of our inescapable death.

Or at least, that's what I got from it! :P

Congratulations ASD!

PS. ASD always had a unique visual style, but this is, IMHO, the closest to the identity of all ASD members, ever. Again, congrats!

Hi all,

Thank you for your messages. I read some very interesting interpretations of the story.
Originally this was conceived as a love story, in 3 stages - separation, death, unification, with all other objects (immobile people, animals) acting as some sort of chthonic entities (Ερινυες), idle observers of the drama and rather detached to the "suffering" (unlike in original tales where they are pulling the strings themselves! So, in some ways, the scenery so desolate that even the Furies are indifferent).

Death comes as part of separation and aging of the world, and the avatars resurface together at the end (beyond time/space of humans, as their own cities are destroyed), in a different plane of existence (colorful) and "free as birds".

And in some ways it continues from where "Monolith" left - human (not necessarily romantic) love as the pinnacle of creation.

Nice demo and interesting effects. However, the synchronization between the music and the effects could perhaps be better. Now the soundtrack sounds a bit loose.

The visuals are beautifully well done and true to the classical ASD style. My personal favorite was the city part which left my jaw dropping. The lattice skulls was also exquisite!

As for the story I had some problem to connect the parts, as I usually have. For me it's a bit too abstract as the transitions leaves big gaps in what I interpret as the story. However, this is highly subjective and I respect the efforts and guess that the internal storyline has probably driven the development of visuals and audio.

Nonetheless I enjoy the powerful scenes individually as most of them are of the highest degree of quality.

Well done!

This is an obvious thumb up, as always, but i can see why it got second place. Astonishingly beautiful, but not innovative enough perhaps.
Your latest Assembly entry, "Monolith", is, imho, far, far better in all aspects.
Nevertheless, you have an enviable track record, and "For your Love" is still a star in demoscene's constellation. Congratulations!

Extremely impressive demo with nice particles and water. Maybe my favourite from the compo. But it is hard to tell, as the top 3 this year at Assembly is really like 3 super-models of different styles and you can't decide which one you would like to fuck.

If this looks weirdly zoomed in, turn off desktop scaling.

Fantastic demo again, ASD nailing it with the scene transitions again. Loved the flow, the particles really sold it. The statue head scene was a beauty.

Incredible prod. I felt that the first scene detracted from the overall experience — the rapid cuts in the scene on the pier, and the cars coming out of nowhere. That whole part seemed to lack context a little. However, the scene with the couple walking down the river and rainbow-coloured scenery was classic ASD and gave me special feelings.

ASD once again delivers an exceptional piece of art, while on their path to the stars...

I would love to see a different direction at some point, away from their abstract style, maybe a medieval concept...

Two thumbs up for two p... okay, jokes aside, this rules hard. Yeah, sure, feels a little secondary in places, but with such polish and attention to detail I don't even care. You already had me at the burning figure, but the city scene is some next-level shit. I don't know how you made such a detailed cityscape. I guess it makes sense that you plan your demos a year or so in advance, cause I can only conclude it takes all the time you can throw at it. Hundreds upon hundreds of manhours. I actually expected it to win because of that. Again, wow. Seriously, never stop.

Absolutely brilliant in moments, nice overall. The story was a bit hard to follow this time, but maybe I wasn't watching intently enough... And I think some of the models were of a decidedly lower quality than befits the rest of the demo. Big thanks for your work, regardless. Looking forward to see where you'll be taking us next.

Really great work, had me drawn in until 4:25 when you can very obviously see a pathway behind the building through the concrete (breaks the illusion for me every time).
Also I believe the problem people have with the music is around 4:30 when the "sinkhole" starts but the audio cue emphasizing it is not obvious(strong?) enough.
Hope you can accept this as an attempt of constructive critique, this is an awesome experience.

The beginning is very promising, but particle things fall apart too quickly. Then the movement of the particles is a tad too analytic, some more air etc would give them a nice twist.

Technically the demo is of superb ace quality, and for example the sea water effect is one of the best I've seen. But there are still some flaws even in that for example the big stuff falling into the sea should be causing some gigantic waves... :) !

The city scan scene seems to be somehow out from the other demo, especially around 4:30.

Cutting things out from here and there and adjusting some details would have made this the best demo ever made. I can still see that lot's of effort and love has been put into making of this demonstration so it is definitely a thumb up!

Crashes during loading screen on Radeon RX 570.
Finally gotten around to watching this. It's clearly a demo in the tradition of ASD's previous blockbusters, although the tone is a bit more subdued, and it feels overall a bit more abstract and disjointed. In that sense it didn't have the same impact on me as f.ex. Lifeforce and Happiness Around the Bend. On the other hand, the tech seems more cutting-edge and refined than ever before. Regardless of my overall impression, this still lives in a class of its own and deserves a huge thumb up. :)

Have to add that this demo contains artistically wise very top notch use of particles. About removing stuff, I would have ended the city scene when it falls into the sea. Then in the end instead of simply fading from sea to the clouds it would have been great to have the camera rising up through the clouds.

Otherwise still very good demo actually, one of my ASD favorites for sure :)

OK good, I just upgraded video cards and installed the newest NVidia driver. This was my first prod that I tried running and all blurred. Rolling back to 472.12. Thank you for that info!

My favorite part is the LIDAR, but as other say, doesn't work anymore with recent Nvidia drivers. (blurry)
Luckily I can still watch it on my Win7 rig where Nivida stopped support after 471. (minus the security updates without any change in the driver itself)

Will it be fixed ?

No, sorry. It is what it is on the day of the compo, I then try to completely forget about it. As long as its there in some playable format and good video, its ok for me.

:~( That's a shame. Oh well, maybe it'll be like Happiness Is Around the Bend and Spin, where it starts working again after a few years. Anyway, thumb up for your demo.
rulez added on the 2023-08-16 21:21:30 by phoenix phoenix
Navis: I completey understand that a demo is a work of art and comes at what it is at the time it is done and that it has no real meaning for the artist anymore once its ot there, but... it would be really, really cool to have old asd demos work on modern systems.
Please think of a way to do it and if you dont want to dive in old codebases maybe someone else will? it surely cant all be all lost and deleted and youtube really isnt an appropriate substitution for many of us...
