• 64k invitation Windows astrophage (Black Valley 2022 invite) by Logicoma [web]
• One of the points about making something understated is that it really only works if you've got a lot of technical finesse under the hood and use that to nail that subdued tone - and you completely delivered. Love it :)

• demotool Windows Capturinha
• Oh look, a new release!
  
  Because, like, I would really love to see PC demos go High Dynamic Range, and you people have only shied away from that because you didn't have any idea how to upload your precious HDR productions to YouTube, have you? Well fear no more! Just capture a HDR screen and you'll get a HDR video that you can show and upload everywhere you want to! Including your parents' brand new TV! (you know you want to)

• demo Windows A New World Awaits by Peisik [web] & ____blnk
• My favourite from the compo. Finally someone's pushing the envelope again.

• 64k Windows JavaScript Domain by 0b5vr
• I must admit I'm growing a bit weary of the scene self referentiality, but the flawless execution on every single front makes it very deserving of praise nevertheless. :)

• 4k Windows The Last Minute by Lucid
• Continuing the legacy of World Ending 4Ks at Deadline, I see. While not as elaborate as the last one there (Waillee) I distinctly remember the feeling of "Whoa" when it started, quickly following by dread. Great attention to detali in everything, especially the colors and the trees.

• demo Windows JavaScript the proud flesh by mfx [web]
• "Visceral" describes it best, and the wait for a Ballet Dancer successor was definitely worth it. :)
  
  Also interesting how this has that certain "MFX in the 2000s" look (just modernized) albeit running on a completely different engine. There's just something unique about how uncle-x goes about visuals.

• demo Windows Inversion by Rebels
• What ps said basically. I think the issue that I have is not the early 2000s style per se but that I miss some "certain je ne sais quoi", some contextualization or stylistic elements that would elevate it above a mere rehash of effects, albeit with more GPU. Same with the soundtrack - it certainly shows Vincenzo's prowess, but it doesn't really go anywhere. Solid piggie this time.

• demo Wild DX266 by recube [web]
• That was definitely a thing to behold. Whoa.

• demo Windows JavaScript Luna by slay bells
• They grow up so fast *sheds boomer tear*
  
  Perhaps a bit too introverted for the general party populace, visuals as well as music wise, and a bit hurried in places (most notably that repeating background texture, sorry everyone not able to unsee it now), but there's absolutely nothing wrong with a demo that "just" wants to present beauty to the viewer, and this little gem has hands down the best color work I've seen in the last years in the scene, I love the detail of the visuals, and that track is a total banger (if you're into the style). Definitely the highlight of Deadline for me.

• demo MS-Dos/gus cöncept by Ümlaüt Design [web]
• I don't think this demo is either mindless pandering aka the downfall of the demoscene as-is, or in the same vein as Piledriver. On the contrary. I love how intimately personal and authentic it is - a genuine expression of an author who always wanted to make this, even if it's 20 years late.
  
  It's not screaming "hey scene, look at me!", it just is what it is.
  
  And as a demo itself it easily keeps up with the Replays and Haujobbs of yore. The soundtrack, while not entirely up to eg. Radix' level of proficiency and detail, fits perfectly and sticks in your mind for days, and the visuals and direction not only evoke that end-90s feel but also, personally, are welcome in the current times for how gentle they are :)
