Has that straight-to-aminet kind of vibe, but still good stuff

Excellent visuals but the music is way too soft for the "mean" visuals, a proper industrial track would have been much better IMHO. Still, enjoyable demo is enjoyable! :)

indeed, good stuff!

Lucy 500 - ace! Compact package with a great track in tight sync. Perspective heads were the highlight for me, again (like in Lucy). You managed to push your signature low bitplane style quite a bit further with this.

This is amazing stuff. Stunning glitchy visuals and cool synchro. "Esocentrica" for Amiga 500? Why not ;)

I've uploaded the demo and changed the download link to my untergrund ftp. Which is hopefully not blocked in China. :)

I liked the skull part the most.

It's cool but I've seen Slummy pull this exact genre first (for me, that is) at TRSAC 2001 and swapping the core effect every 5 years aside it doesn't really change much. It was cool and slick, but I felt like I was watching a rerun of something.

very great show! made me happy watching on the live stream <3
rulez added on the 2017-02-12 15:20:33 by elkmoose elkmoose
Cool zoomer thing in the beginning! Even if covered up quite heavily.. Stuff getting copied and offset around?

The dot/cluster/impostor/3d effects looked really ace! Particularly the.. was it an arm... and the final skull came out really good. Also thought I noticed Ebbe in there? :D

The infinite cubes also look great. I especially got surprised when the camera rotated on z as I figured they were purely 'infinite bobs' based.

Also great DnB track as usual by Lugoober!
rulez added on the 2017-02-12 15:35:08 by rloaderro rloaderro
The track does the heavy lifting, the visuals just revert to monochromatic strobing to hide in.
added on the 2017-02-12 15:39:45 by Gargaj Gargaj
"signature low bitplane style" is the positive way to see this, "swapping the core effect every 5 years aside it doesn't really change much" the more negative way. While I was entertained (nice track!), my perception is slowly shifting from the first to the second interpretation...

Weak thumb up.

THE MOST asskickin' I've seen in years!

There is no room for discussion or negative feedback - that would be trolling and shameful. The music, the sync + that brutal presentation of kickass effects pumped out in a perverse - yet glamorous way! A signature elegance like no other, running the A500 non-accelerated.... DAMN!

GIVE US MORE! NOW!

Thumb up for another A500 prod, but I could quickly see the entire demo was in 1 bitplane even without reading these comments first, so, I guess that's the new way to get speed out of an A500? That said, the better effects were at the end so I'm glad I watched it all the way through. Nice work.

One of those demos when you realize immediately that they're super awesome, but spend the entire duration trying to get into the mood. Did not hit me, but thumbs up for the execution.

Not very fond of this style. And the rendering is too messed up to really appreciate the code behind it.

Gargaj, the hiding is not to cover any rendering errors as on PC (assuming that's where you're coming from). Any glitches would be part of the render; WYSIWYG.

What to say? Datalump still works as for all previous releases, 1 bitplane makes it last longer while fitting in RAM. I compare to Algorithm, i.e. you should keep doing what you like best & no use me making reasons. And this time it kinda works I think :)

f***ing amazing demo! all the favourite spaceball's aga effects at one place, in a500 release! what could one possible want more?!? my jaw was visibly dropped when i saw this on the party, in a first row, sitting on the floor, by pure accident, next to the slummy. i was literally speechless at that point.

ah yes, and the writeup was absolutely amazing, though i must admit that it did spoil some of the "magic" for me. ;))

The first time I watched it I thought :"Huh, that is weird." I rewatched
it a couple of times during the last months and once more after I had
read the tech notes (@Slummy: thanks for that), and it is awesome.
The effects and the music reinforce each other and I dare to say it is
digital art. But I still cannot believe that the rotating skull is based on
only 4 images. Wizardry :-)
