I like it, music is calming and while repetitive is still hypnotic, the visuals are a mixed bag but some of the scenes I really like. The theme is a bit conspiracy theoryish but I don't mind at all.

Upon launching the executable it tries to connect to the internet, why?

The LQ pictures broke the mood. Without I would give a thumb.

Credits should go to the Shadertoy community mainly. I recognised several slightly modified shaders (circuit fractal, glass structures, alien landscape, ...). To put them fullscreen is a little brutal towards the GPU in my opinion :)

Nevertheless I thank you for making a demo with serious content. The speech of J.F.K. (full version) contains information everyone should listen to very carefully. Congrats to 4th place!

Raymarchers shouldn't be so low quality if you have no size limit to make them look good. With a couple exceptions the scenes/geometry didn't look very good or interesting either. I do like the sand-like effect though. I don't understand the juxtaposition with the JFK quotes/pictures with the visuals and rest of the otherwise fine soundtrack at all...

I found it a bit boring. I think it might have been the music that did it.

I like the music but the demo is way too boring.

i like this somehow. the soundtrack has a nice build-up and the scenes look kinda cool (at 1:36 for example). but i don't know what to do with these jfk speech samples and interruptions.

Like the demo and what it stands for. Very nice, atmospheric soundtrack!

I like the effects and the music in this, but the JFK references and speech just didn't work well for me.

Relaxing, I liked it. But: what the hell people - FONT. ASPECT. RATIOS. Respect them.

Nice shaders but I got bored. Too long and repetitive (shader + picture + shader + picture....). Okay demo.

Felt this one was a bit too much of a hotchpotch.

I can see the problem of having to fill over six minutes of demo, and that might have been the problem of this demo. There's no buildup, sync is absent, no colourscheme and everything really is just a big hotchpotch. Reading the nfo that you come from Atari, I'll prolly don't have to explain what style is anyways - you should know.

The tune however is god damn gorgeous, and it'll end up on heavy rotation here.

would be awesome if you could release a final version without the visual and audio JFK references plus a resolution selector. :)

Felt much better in the compo than now at home.

I really liked it. Should end up third.

starts promising, but then the shader thing becomes kind of too simple, boring, and i don't know, ugly - in a beautiful ugly way, though. piggy for now. but the 2d effect behind/before the greetings part is pretty cool!
added on the 2015-04-11 00:21:08 by blala blala
the sand blown in the wind kinda effect on top of the shader scenes was very nice. theme of the demo, music and pictures ruined it for me. the mix won't fit imho. so piggie.
For me the best demo of the compo.

looked like some shadertoy shaders glued together with an unfitting soundtrack and unrelated political theme. the wobbly almost sketchy shaders looked good tho, so, piggie it is.
Nice visuals, but the conspiracy things.... nah......

Totally awesome experience for me, music, mood, effects and eyecandy logo to finish it off. Super work unix!

JFK pictures ruins atmosphere a bit, but rest is great (music and shaders).

I enjoyed this a lot. The pictures should have better quality, but the sand/wind thing looks really cool. And I lovet he music.

Awesome visuals, sound & direction.

The JFK theme feels quite off at first but overall supports the demo and vice versa pretty well.
