I was told that this would be a dual Amiga/Falcon release, but unfortunately only Amiga binaries are in the archive.

There's also a video available, I'm not sure if the framerate is authentic as it's made from UAE.

Anyways cool demo with some nice effects and a great soundtrack :-)

That's a nice little thing. The "circle" tunnel looks very fine.

The tough guys! Nice design ideas, the circle tunnel and the rotating blob-alike-thingie are my favs.

let me try again:

coolest creds ever in any demo on any platform! so simple yet so fucking cool. I guess TFT was the master behind it?

Also wonderful music!

I am thrilled to see ephidrena ar back making demos. with some help from Darklite on the music and gfx-front this became a very nice demo!

but where is the falconversion everyone was talking about? :( Amiga SUCKS! ;)

well, we didnt upload this... ;) Falcon version is right around the corner tho, probably along with an Amiga final...

Hmmf. I was hoping to hold back this release just a few more years to release a proper final, but now it's out.

There is a final in the works with Atari port , Frequent's remix of Response's track and some other improvements, but all in all it will look pretty much like this. Last time I checked the frame rate was between 16-22 fps depending on the effect so not too bad, but the video is 30 all the way IIRC. Faster than most eph demos, but not as fast as loonies demos ;)

nerve: great! Make sure the falcon version is better than the amiga version.

here is a special effect to put in the Amiga-version of the demo:

.flash bchg #1,$bfe001
bsr _wait
dbf d0,.flash
rts

_wait move.l #50-1,d0
.wait bsr _waitvb
dbf d0,.wait
rts

_waitvb
.1 btst #0,(_custom+vposr+1)
beq .1
.2 btst #0,(_custom+vposr+1)
bne .2
rts

put it everywhere :)

Apparently inspired by certain Nature/Traktor demos. :) Not that many effects but pretty cool anyway!

Wow, was expecting some 2nd class compofiller, not this awesome shit! I love it - fantastic colours, lots of original ideas, cool music (although it was a shame to reuse that sample..) and cool effects (blob-thingy especially).. sweet!

those vocals are also used in a d'n'b track that is often played on bassdrive.com...

Hmm, nice words, but it reminds me that we're still waiting to see the final version of this production over a year later. Different group, yes I know ;-)

I've seen the video, will wait until we're running it on fuji-badged hardware to give this its deserved thumb.

Just to add a little pressure, I gather that the Ephidrena demo system has been ported over to the CT60, and little birds tell me that some other productions have been made to run on that flavour of Falcy as well ?!

The 'tough guys' sample is used in a Noisia tune which I first heard on the dance floor here in Trondheim while both Noisia and Frequent by chance were in town. That was awesome :) We used it in Concrete from 1999 and since we are 15 years this was some sort of a backwards reference. We originally got it off a sample cd and I believe the original sample comes from a movie called Thrillseekers. I wanted to have more references to old Darklite and Ephidrena demos really, but it didn't turn out that way in the end.

really cool demo, stylish as always when it comes to EPH.. The credits parts are a little too long for my taste but everything else rocks.
rulez added on the 2010-07-22 10:11:58 by malmix malmix
So. Where is the Falcon version? ;-)
I think the amount of backward reference was just right. Too many would've been easily received a drawback.
But this reminded me of things like Sumolysbryter with new influences.
Good stuff.
Framerate was OK on the 060/50MHz

very cool. whatgot my attention was the gradient filler. loady: how did you do that? a envmap texture lookup trick or was it real gradient filled vectors?

style
rulez added on the 2010-07-22 21:41:38 by Alpha C Alpha C
@ruderudy : The effect is a voxelball with a smooth heightmap as opposed to the kjøttkakeheightmaps which are more commonl. 64x64 heightmap so it fits in the cache and the colormap is the heightmap offset by 12x12 so I get nice cache hit rate but still have something which looks like shading. Also the effect is in 16 colors so there is some ordered dithering and then there is a subtle overlay made from rice paper to occupy the 4 remaining bitplanes that add some texture. also it has a not so subtle police car.

Will wait with thumbing until there's a final. (Guru #8000000B on A1200-060 128MB after about 15 seconds of loading, if that is useful info?)

@photon : did you try outside of workbench? might be lack of chipram and also we have a cgx backend, but we haven't tried it on any cgx cards this time so maybe it doesn't work. We use some bitplane fx. I'm not sure how that works with cgx at all even if i believe cgx takes care of all bpl setting and shit.

+1 for Music, an agreeable tune
+1 for Models, they reach for the moon
+1 for greets, an imaginative way,
-1 for painting with aerosols that spray.

Final Score: 2. Fun, but not a barnstormer of a Demo.

Still, Rules is rules, and this one gets a thumb. And I go!
