• demo Windows Wilder by Catalyst
• Hoo boy. There's a lot of good in there but also balanced out with just as much not so good.
  
  + Look/rendering/animation is "fine", it's not A+ but it does the job; could've used shadows, just to represent the character's distance from the ground (see screenshot)
  + Soundtrack is great.
  - Storytelling / direction is uncomfortably rushed through; you're basically telling a classic "unusual event happens to usual protagonist" Pixar story, but you're about ~15 seconds in when that happens, and then the rest is rushed through in about 2 minutes. Let the scenes breathe, set them up a bit; this is one of those extremely rare prods that should've been twice (if not 3 times) as long. Just listen to the poor soundtrack, it's trying to juggle a bunch of themes trying to keep up with the pace.
  - You don't have to cut on every beat or every 2 seconds. I know this is hard when you've seen a demo a thousand times while making it, but try to imagine how long it takes for an average viewer seeing it for the first time to register what's going on in a given shot.
  - Also go easy on the camera movement too, especially when you're trying to convey something ominous; the globe scene is a particularly good example where the camera is spinning around way too fast and makes it harder to make out what the viewer is supposed to be paying attention to.
  
  I appreciate you trying to do something different every time, I really do, but now is the time to double down on learning the finer parts of direction.

• 4k Windows Wackelkontakt by Alcatraz [web] & Prismbeings
• The sound carries this spectacularly (gorgeous patch work there), and while the presentation is nice and refined, the actual visual content just feels like a bunch of 2D Shadertoy leftovers, which is a bit of a shame.

• What's there is good, but it runs out of ideas very very quickly :(

• 4k Windows La vie opportuniste by Razor 1911 [web]
• Easily, EASILY, my favourite in the compo. The little subverting of expectations over and over is just sublime.

• 64k Amiga OCS/ECS fam by AttentionWhore
• The voice synth is hilariously off and the fact that I can't tell if it's intentional or not is partly why I love it.
