- 64k Amiga AGA Brain state in a Beck's by Focus Design [web]
- Good music. The effects are not so good but they follow the rhythm very well.
This is not great stuff, but it's an adequate and satisfactory intro. - rulezadded on the 2009-04-15 17:04:58

- demo Windows Roadside Picnic by Brainstorm [web]
- Perhaps this demo would be strange to those people who never read science-fiction novels (like those of Arkady and Boris Strugatsky) but, anyway, it was very good to see a demo like this one on the bigscreen.

- Great demo! It was fantastic to see this on the bigscreen.
At last, there are good demos for Nintendo DS. - rulezadded on the 2009-04-15 12:58:21
- 40k Amiga AGA Walking in circles by Amiga Demoscene Archive
- @StingRay: Why do you think that I believe that my intro deserved only the 3rd place? I don't like 3rd places more than 4th! ;)
And, more outrageously... Why do you thing that I did not already started my next production? :D
Anyway, I'm very happy because the party was awesome! Cheers! - isokadded on the 2009-04-15 12:32:42
- 40k Amiga AGA Walking in circles by Amiga Demoscene Archive
- After so many people commenting here, it's time for me to tell you what I think about this little intro.
The music is an ok chiptune, a bit repetitive but very well composed. Nice arpeggios.
The rest is almost totally crappy, in my infallible opinion.
First effect: 34 seconds

-ADA logo with colouring circles revolving around.
All is centered and the screen is divided vertically at the center of the screen.
That concentrical mania leads the human and superhuman minds to sleep and, in my undisputable opinion, should always be avoided.
Second effect: 30 seconds
-Circles centered, circles inside circles, credits.
This is the less boring part to me and, maybe, to you. I like the colors in this effect.
I think that this part is the less boring ONLY because it has more rapid changes (the credits).
What do you think?
Third effect: 48 seconds

-Circles moving and sinusoidal spirals (and also flags) than changes a little from time to time.
The excessive duration and boredom of this part is compensated a little bit by the good mood of the music.
Yes, this part is boring as hell in my relentless opinion.
Fourth effect: 30 seconds

-Circles, greetings, horrible glitches that, apparently, are easily forgiven by the masses.
Seems to me, in my equitable opinion, that this part has a bad choice of colors. I explain, is red but is not calid.
But the colors are not bad at all because the fact that there are some greetings to a few unactive groups is outrageous!
Greetings must be delivered (preferably) only to people who are recently and constantly active in the scene and not to friends or people who maked great stuff lots of years ago.
That could leads Skarla or Potion to move their asses!
Fifth effect: 18 seconds

-2D "walk" of the circle things, horizontal exact division of the screen.
"The End" message at the end of the intro. Very important information!
Summarizing:
Static simple backgrounds with simple graphics, less than 5% of the pixels on the screen are actually "alive and moving".
Boring and minimal effects that would be "OK" in 1990.
Few scenes, only 5 in more than 2 minutes and 40 seconds. And what a static and quiescent scenes!
It fits on 40k, but could be done in 4k and in ECS. And maybe even in EPSON, but I'm not entirely sure.
This is my respectable opinion, you may have a different one, but remember that my open-minded opinion is always unbiased, impartial and disinterested (like yours, I hope) and is also of someone who make also intros (like a few of you), and not only opinions.
And I am sure that Z5 will improve his kung-fu beyond these circular movements and eventualy will manage to release great stuff! So, Z5, continue coding and make more stuff!
Conclusion:
Maybe some people can be hypnotized easier than I could figure. I should study this cheap hypnotic tricks because it could save months of hard work to me.
The fact that this simple thing could managed to achieve a 3rd rank at breakpoint and more than 30 thumbs up here in one day, with almost no criticism, is something that seems, in this perplexed moment, mostly unexplainable to me, in my omniscient opinion. - isokadded on the 2009-04-15 12:10:11
