I couldn't believe it was going to be the *complete* demo while I was watching it in the party. It raised applauses so many times during the projection that I still feel pain in the palms :)

There is some strange aftertaste to this kind of remake, being a sure-fire winnerdemo(tm) and all.

Anyway, pretty cool I guess. An act of love afterall.

Impressive remake... While I generally dislike remakes, thumbs up have to be handed out for doing these effects on the C64. Resource and Chorus are certainly among the all time top groups on the platform.

btw.. also some criticism:

-I dont like how most effect were converted to extreme lowres. I could have lived with less framerate..

-The conversion of the music may be somewhat true to the original, but on its own it is not a very enjoyable soundtrack.

Really boring (as the original). And we have enough c64 conversions already, no?
added on the 2007-04-09 15:31:30 by friol friol
WHAT THE?!

I like extreme demo conversions. This is more a close conversion to the original than the SR128 conversion in terms of how most effects look (even though that's an easier demo to convert on C64 than SR). The music port sounds amazing! Few effects are a bit blocky but run at full frame rate and greatly are the gfx ported too (much better work than the work on gfx conversions on SR conversion by smash desgns). Some effects are amazing cool for speed, zooms, balls, 3d, the several dots I like, great timing too with the music. Best demo conversion so far!

Good conversion, although not perfect. There was a better zoom scroller routine in +h2k for example. The music looping at the very end is also different from the original but the music itself is rewritten almost perfectly! Anyway, amazing work! Thumbs up, yeah.

I would rather see an original release from Chorus+Resource. As it is know talent and skill goes to waste.

I really understand why you did that. Porting my favourite demos to my 8-bit Atari has always been a challange for me - just to prove it can be done. An this one is done a an excellent way!
rulez added on the 2007-04-12 21:59:46 by JAC! JAC!
thanks for all the nice comments we really havent expected so much feedback. :)

dane,

how about having code for displaying 4x1024 dots (some on the borders) in the memory, and while the effect plays loading beside it a koala picture with sprite overlay which extends to the borders. (dottunel and the "tiger" afterwards)

or how about drawing filledvectors into 3 different layers, playing digi, displaying a rasterbar while data is being loaded and decrunched, all at the same time? (melon scene with countdown)

maybe we have made it look too easy.
added on the 2007-04-12 23:18:17 by Oswald Oswald
Yes Oswald, that would have been very impressive if only you had designed it all by yourself. I promise I would have been more positive about this work if you had given it your own style and concept. Let's see that next time!

rulez added on the 2007-04-13 04:05:49 by BITS BITS
It looked very impressive on the videostream, but checking it at home on a system that doesnt leave as much to imagination it doesnt look as good. Since none of the material is original the only point of this would be to prove what the c64 is capable of, and as i felt i have seen several of the effects before faster and/or in better resolution this feels quite pointless. you did a massive job showing that you are able to make the same effects as someone else did 14 years ago, but that doesnt excite me much.
added on the 2007-04-13 08:07:08 by hollowman hollowman
Hollowman, a list of csdb links with the effects that were done better would help to see your statement in its full glory.
added on the 2007-04-13 10:37:48 by Oswald Oswald
Off the top of my head...chessboard fpp wobbler in Game Over, x-rotator at the end of Soul (and various demos for higher res), zoomscroller from +h2k are a few examples of what Hollowman means...effects that were either faster or in better resolution. Right?

rulez added on the 2007-04-13 19:17:28 by wie8 wie8
I think this is a very good demo!

@Oswald: I hope you realize why you're getting the critique. Don't take it personally, learn from it instead. I'm 100% confident that even though people might rag on this they DO acknowledge the skillz from you. What they simply want is MORE Chorus+Resource stuff and PREFER if it were original. They are actually saying: "Geez, you guys are REALLY good, I wonder what you'll do next? I really can't wait! Next time come up with something of your own and you'll get a 10 from me."

FTW Oswald, you missed the mark completely. Game Over even has 8 lines higher chessboard and switches d021 every line. And as for the Soul effect your screenshot kind of misses out on the fact that it's in all borders while yours is not. Hollowman's comment about feeling these effects having been made faster or better-looking elsewhere is pretty valid to me. However, Jackasser is totally right. I'm not saying you lack skill, but that I would have liked to see an original production instead. But sure, keep posting screenshots.
added on the 2007-04-14 00:45:30 by Dane Dane
dane, our chessboard moves lightyears nicer, and we only dont switch d021 each line since the original has solid chessboards aswell. also gameover is much more inaccurate at the edges. doesnt pays off for the extra 8 lines if you ask me. The soul effect is on the borders, but has half the resolution, now which one wins? if I'd do an allborder 8x8 cube, bet you would say it has been done better before since there are higher resolution cubes.

now list some more parts, as you have stated these are just a few examples of what have been done better so far.

Oswald, you're clearly in the mood of a five year old child so I'll let you be. If you can't acknowledge the fact that putting an x-rotator in the sideborder is cooler than switching DD00 once per frame (instead of having the double height of gfx of course) then there's no point.

You're not responding to the point we're trying to make concerning how much cooler an original demo would have been. That's a shame.
added on the 2007-04-14 09:55:24 by Dane Dane
Dane, your bashing here is only done due to your envyness. to quote yourself: "I'm quite sad to see such a positive hype" yes that tells it all. We have dozens of original productions both chorus and resource, however you only feel like commenting our demos when you think they get too much attention. Very brave move man congrats. You could come up with 3 parts out of 16 which were done better so far, quite a weak argument when stating that its not filled with hardcore effects. These days I could do fill 3 mindblowing demos out of 16 effects.Fact is that you only dont like the effects since they are not original, you have written yourself: "would have been very impressive if only you had designed it all by yourself." I can accept that but that doesnt prove your statement that our effects are not hardcore.

now go back to your cave, and come back again commenting when you feel again that a demo gets too much hype for your taste. cheers.

What a lame discussion anyway, you C64 guys are in 2007 doing stuff that people did 15 years ago. There is no innovation at all, except doing the same effects run a little bit faster or make them look a little better, but the demostyle is the same crap.

Fuck the LAME C64 scene :)

Sheez, why this hate? I can't find any envy in Dane's comment. I love the original Desert Dream on Amiga to death and so I totally dig this remake as well but I can understand the people who prefer to see an original demo as well. You should try to take those comments as what they are meant, some feedback/ideas what to do in your next demo. I don't see any bashing or smth. of your demo in Dane's comments. It's just like with music, some people like cover versions and some just don't. You can't please everyone. :) Don't take everything so damn serious. :) Just the 0.02€ from an Amiga lamer who totally loves this Desert Dream remake. :)

- deus ex machina
- cycle

how about seeing it as what it is - a REMAKE! for fucks sake.. this is a remake, and a brilliant one. all the inquieries about "oh come on, be more original", are totally pointless in this context! of course i'd like to see oswald & co. doing another, original, demo now, using all this technical wizardry in an own concept. but this is not the point HERE.

I can not agree here. I indeed find the remake totally cool but that that doesn't mean I don't want to see original stuff on the breadbox anymore. You may not like the demo but you can't deny that it is one the classics from the "golden amiga years" so doing a remake of it on the C64 is totally legitimate I think. Anyway, time to move on, next year I want to see Nexus 7 on the breadbox. :D *runs and hides* :)

Just to add to the discussion another effect that I have seen better before and was puzzled it was so blocky and slower here. The 5 circles. In Mathematica by Reflex there were 5 cicles (but without translucency and maybe a bit smaller in area but not as much) that moved perfectly and smooth and at 50fps and already in pixel resolution. Of course I don't know if I am missing something, but I always wondered how was that done so fast in the Mathematica demo and so the blocky version in this demo didn't impressed me.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Really cool to see so much positive feedback. :) It also justifies somehow it worth the serious effort we put into this project. As for the motivation from my part behind the reamke, JAC! already told it perfectly. We didn't make this to cheaply win at Bp or something like that... I wouldn't care if Oxy wins with their demo they would deserve it.

As for the trivial 'originality' critique, you all are right. We prepared for that since the beginning of this project and it glances off us easily. :)

Anybody with a little knowledge about c64 coding can see that there were serious issues realising this demo. It wasn't like a trivial thing to do all these effects in a c64 trackmo with decent looking. Hollowman you're wrong, we were seriously concerned all the way during the process that we will fail with it, it wasn't trivial. 14 years or not it was an Amiga 500 demo, and 80% of the effects gave us serious problems. One of the biggest concern was to be able keeping the quick pace of displaying all effects without losing the timing to the music (30-40 different screens), since nearly all parts were quite demanding with memory usage. Doing effects like the blown up filled vector or realising the intro vector scene or the falling bricks transition effect were very hard to get over with. We will make a final more polished version with a readme file to the people who liked the present version and are interested about the obstacles we had to solve.

@Dane, since you attacked 3 effects of mine, I have to respond in short:

- X rotator+Jelly picture: going to the borders wasn't a probelm, but one have to consider the aspect ratio of the original picture and the visibility area of the effect. However the interlace mode I think is an improvement to hide the blocky resolution there and works well.

- Zoomscroll: +H2K has better resolution yes, but one have to consider the Z movement. Look at the calm sinus of my version when the scroll approaches the minimal size, and compare with +H2K. This is due to my totally different approach realising the effect.

- Chessboard bender: complaining about 8 pixels height difference is out of the point, since one have to consider the rastertime I left for depacking the next part (remember it's a trackmo). Notice the better looking and longer waves (I faked an 512 long sinus movement instead of standard 256) despite the resolution difference due to more accuracy. The every line d021 was intentionally avoided to have solid colors in every chessrow.

All in all, It was very hard to ponder all possibilities and choose the seemingly best compromise for most effects...

@Optimus: the Reflex balls were smaller (12*12) and have a fixed Y movement thus not having real 3d movements, so we decided to skip that approach. Our version has lower resolution and speed but has 24*24 big balls, transparency, clipping, and using a 80 pixels wide 4x4 fli mode (covering the fli bug as well). As I said it was a question of choosing the best compromise here too.

hi there. thanks for all the kind words. i expected massive feedback like this but wasn't aware that even my music conversion job will be marked in such a way. =) thanks again! some people asked about the player... apart from the hidden part tunes *hint hint* which were made in goattracker, all demo tunes are composed in the somewhat faster driver 6 from laxity/MoNs sidfactory. thank you thomas for implementing some requested stuff for your favourite bugger! you see, i even didn't use the most powerful player around and also had to deal with some out of instruments/effects issues so the result could have been even better. however... one last word to all the "originality" whiners. we have been involved in other more original releases but this time, we took the challenge to do a remake and believe me it WAS a challenge in every aspect! WE KNOW it lacks on the originality side of course and it's a bit pointless to tell us we should stick to original demos, really! for me, not only focus or fairlight demos are good and i think it's the different demo concepts that makes the scene so colourful and this also includes a remake if it's well done like in the case of desert dream or simply a traditional hardcoded oxyron demo without proper concept. ;-P the worst comment came from dane (I'm quite sad to see such a positive hype over something that is neither original nor filled with extremely hard stuff). sorry stellan but this was dissapointing and even sounds a bit jealous - but of course you are not, maybe it's the words that are chosen in a clumsy way. ;) hugs to kefrens, the C64 DD crew and all downvoters, i love you! =) /fanta

Shit, color me impressed! I didn't expect so many effects being up to par of the original! Definitely in my top-3 C64 demos so far.

A very noteworthy remake! I even like the SID music better than the original Amiga soundtrack.

I believe this demo is a great way to compare the pure performance power of the one and only Commodore 64 with the mighty Amiga....
To put it in a perspective, there were only a few things the C64 version didn't do because of hardware limitations. Example: The stars of 3 colours and the cube vector.
But...... I have to say also.... Thank you, Fanta, for making the soundtrack even more amazing than it already was. [I love you!!!!!!!!!]

Hard to compare with the original. Both are obviously very enjoyable, but in large part for different (yet obvious) reasons despite being the same demo as far as content goes. It's silly to say this lacks creativity, as if the concept doesn't apply when it comes to technical prowess as well. It's very rarely enough by itself though—demoscene is not a scientific publication for your latest technical discoveries—but should be augmented by the presentation. Luckily all the technical merits are framed around an already established entertaining demo, so imo it all pans out.

The soundtrack despite not exploiting all the "fancy" SID technical quirks is an excellent rendition.

I had never seen or heard of the original when I saw this at BP'07 the first time.

Now, years later, having seen both, I still think this absolutely kicks ass, and I'd argue the soundtrack sounds a bit better than the original, in places.

I don't mind remakes. In fact, I really adore and appreciate them if executed well, and this is a prime example of that.
