quite ugly, sorry.

it may be ugly but its a linux demo! surely you have to more forgiving on the design side when it comes to linux coders

visuals are not the best but quite okay. nice tune and somehow a nice overall feeling. really liked the last scene.

not a blockbuster, but enjoyable.

i see what they were going for but somewhere the "hey this looks worse than prince of persia 1 sprites scaled to 1080p"-bell should've rung

While this will not win a price for technical achievement, I like the "protagonist" thats followed through the demo.
Also, nice soundtrack.

w32 port (with binary) here: https://github.com/Gargaj/livin_in_a_box

The demo itself has a bunch of great ideas, but the look needs a lot of work.

Meh... despite some nice music (though a bit repetitive) and a good idea with the falling letters.

the music saved it.

My thoughts: Not technically impressive. Not toooooo bad. Ok concept and some interesting ideas. But 22 megs for this?
I don't know. Pig it is.

a couple of good ideas that deserved a better execution. as it is, it's rather ugly and boring.

Thanks for the Win port, Gargaj.

This starts an odd trend of Hungarian demos entered in American parties, that either a) were not shown at Revision (Das Experiment) or b) use mocap (Moove).

Other than the animated figures, I didn't see much in the way of effects.. given the focus was on them, I was disappointed by the missing triangles. The dot-face and hands toward the end was real cool, was that a 3d object or did you capture a pin-box somehow? Music was good quality, but repetitive.. so, it's okay.

+ for the concept but it fails on the side of execution and design.

This looks like an ASD demo written in QBasic mixed with some early 2000 era photoshop gfx and 1990s demopop trance. :)

Obvious nod to ASD, but I liked it.

I like some of the ideas. However, I don't understand why the guy flickers. Don't know if it's a bug or it's supposed to look like that. Either way, it's bad. The music is rather 90s-like, but given the fact that there wasn't restrictions in size, I think at least the drums could have been a bit better. But all that aside, it's a nice and enjoyable production, that I'm sure you put a lot of time and effort into making. So a weak thumb up on my part.

Somehow reminded me a bit of Lost Blubb, both soundwise and effects. Would give thumbs up without that triangle bug in the characters.

Ah what the hell, being reminded of Lost Blubb is well enough for a thumb. :)

okay
Some nice ideas but design was practically non-existent. Also WTF, OpenGL 4?
Not impressive, backgrounds don't display, make something more impressive next time.

cool for me ! liked it, even if some lacks in color made in characters i mean painting is buggy. but cool done, the creation way is done, after all it needs more impressive effects but cool to see and try a new demo on linux ! so thumb up :)

Why? I have to agree with the general sentiment here. It should be tighter, some of the colors are more than questionable and tomaes pretty much nailed the rest, but there's still a lot of good stuff there, liket he concept with the protagonist and the falling letters .

I' dont like the graphics... I don't like the effects... Th music is so so....... sorry

cool music, but unpolished visuals
rulez added on the 2012-06-25 21:29:37 by blala blala
Nothing good about this apart from the music. Unfortunately I don't feel that generic trance, although nice at that, earns even a piggy for the rest of this.

I am giving a thumb down on this one, because of the bug that was left to fill some triangles. It make my eye keep looking for that bug. Otherwise, I enjoy the letter falling... The design and graphics could be better, but of course would probably take way more time to work on...

rulez added on the 2012-06-30 11:20:27 by Navis Navis
Navis rated out prod! Wait! He gave us thumb up! Wow, thanks!
Some feedback:

1. OpenGL 4: Yes, all the effects can be created with older OpenGL, but I like learning new things. On the other side, the newer OpenGL helps me to put more effects to shaders.
2. Triangulation error: This is my fault. The demo loads only the contours and triangulates it in real time. Unfortunately my approach does not like the case when the contour contains loops.
3. I have used Kinect to store depth information. This demo processes these in real time.

I really like to see more than 20 comments for our prod. Thanks guys!

Huge thumb for the good ideas. Yes, they would deserve a lot better implementation at some places, but hey, this is the demoscene, instead of criticizing just do it better and enter it to a compo!

Also liked the endscreen message.

Can´t get the linux version running, but the win32 port works like a charm.

Interesting concept - want to see more like that
