- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Technova
- Something's fragile here and might be worth investigating if more productions are planned with this engine.
After turning on the computer and running the demo as the first entry in the startup-sequence, it works reproducibly.
But the production itself seems to thwart running it for another time correctly. If started again, there's a huge delay first in the start of the music, and then another huge delay in the visuals and messed up colors - also reproducibly. Tested with base config A500, 512k+512k, Kick1.2, no pack menu or other software involved. - isokadded on the 2022-08-22 14:10:47

- I may have found an issue with the startup of the underlying engine. Sometimes the visuals start with a huge delay with regard to the music, and the sync and colors are all messed up. This seems to be more likely when another production, pack menu etc. was started before. I noticed this with this production as well as with rage os.

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS TV Eye by Zenon [web]
- The visuals cannot fulfill its promise of the very good soundtrack. The internediate blocky sequences are too few and meh to get a trance-like/immersive mood going.

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Be Sheep (Do Crime)
- New insight: The party version most likely already works on an A500. I'll check this tomorrow. It requires mathtrans.library, but nothing else seems to keep it from running. Superb!

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Be Sheep (Do Crime)
- Cool, thanks! Send to bifat ët neoscientists piste org, I can test it tomorrow on real machine. (Even more amazing if it was needlessly running in 5 bitplanes. :-)

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Be Sheep (Do Crime)
- I started it on an A3000/60, where it ran very fluently, but even on a 68000 I find this work remarkable technically and very enjoyable for artistry, scene design and composition. I think it's worth to be remembered as a production that can run on a standard OCS A500 - if that's possible.
The executable itself doesn't reserve much memory, so there's probably just one big chipmem buffer allocated at runtime. - isokadded on the 2022-08-17 19:55:16
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Be Sheep (Do Crime)
- Gosh!! I can't get this to run on an A500 with 512k+512k (out of memory), but I've seen it starting and running for a while on another machine. Awesome stuff, and what an amount of work...
If at all possible, please provide a fixed version. - isokadded on the 2022-08-17 16:33:16

- When the only tool you have is a hammer, every demo looks like a bunch of nails... the music however is quite enjoyable.

- I dig the overall laid-back and markedly minimal aesthetics here

- Arcane and gothic in its aesthetics, deeply melancholic and extremely pleasant. At first it seems to be driven mostly by the soundtack, but all anachronisms work in unison here.
