We wait final version with easter eggs! ;-)

I am sorry everyone if this party version hangs on your ZX Spectrum clone.
I'll prepare a properly tested and disked final version asap.

this was amazing on the big screen - I have no idea how technical it was, but it ROCKED!

Very good looking demo! I hope, this is not animation ? :)
rulez added on the 2014-06-22 01:01:18 by alffcpu alffcpu
alffcpu, let me assure you, there is nothing in this demo, which is NOT an animation :)
The only technically interesting thing here is an asynchronous kernel, which plays animations from one buffer and unpacks new animations from another at the same time. All animations are designed with the idea that inverted frames are also frames, so that you get to play 4 frames at the price of storing two by inverting attributes.

Yep, I assumed it was animation. Most of these can be animated, it's repeative few frames. But I liked the overall flow. I liked also the noise touch. It somehow makes it look better.

Introspek, menos mal que finalmente cambiou de idea e deixou de facer calquera entrada innecesaria. Agora chegou a un novo nivel - DEMO. Agora creceu, só creceu, e iso é importante! Olle primeira demo e inmediatamente o primeiro posto, e non hai moito tempo sobre as alzas que ten AAA levantada. Agora grande! Vostede bombeado!

Animation or not, I liked the design. Not too bad music either.
rulez added on the 2014-06-22 21:15:36 by break break
Music and visuals are way too repetitive, got bored after a while.

took me so long to make a comment, because i wanted to say something worthy and fit. and i didn't think of anything better than: it seems that this demo have just completely destroyed those idiotic boundaries between "code" and "animation"which seems to remain only on zx spectrum nowadays. it almost finished that greatest deal that tbk+4d started years and years ago.
we all still have much to do in that direction. but for today - just applause and hail to the supernova of zx!

color me impressed! i can't tell how difficult the grafic part was (since i don't know the hardware) and it's quite cool ... but HOLY SHIT the soundtrack is awesome <3

really great overall!

i love the noise effect and overall style. i don't usually like animation, but this one is very good.

well sync'd and thought of prod, just my cup of tea :)

It could be cool effect for 1k (or well, 4k) prod. I'm not sure if remaining 100kb of data are worth of those 6 or so simplistic pictures that flash sometimes.

Also, music is rather old and reused: http://zxtunes.com/author.php?id=195 -- look for "Shiz0ide.pt2", direct link: zxtunes.com/downloads.php?id=8924
added on the 2014-06-24 14:12:44 by lvd lvd
lvd, in my book "reused" means "has been used elsewhere". Has it really been used elsewhere or did you mean to say "previously released"?

Your remark about 1k or 4k is genuinely funny and much appreciated. Would love to see you try.

If there is one thing I love in a demo is SYNC!! bloody great and a worthy winner of the compo.

Interesting visuals :)

I think this was probably my favourite prod from Sundown. It's a close call between this and Gasman's entry, but I think this just pips it for me. It looked really polished and keep me fixated on the screen the whole time. Very nice indeed! I will be hunting down some more of Introspec's stuff, that I've missed before. Looking forward to the next release :)
rulez added on the 2014-06-26 13:38:07 by raizor raizor
A final, proper, post-party fixed edition is now available. It looks pretty much identical, but is compatible with the vast majority of 128K ZX Spectrum clones out there. It also supports TR-DOS.

A tiny Easter egg has also been added (especially for nyuk).

Hmm... after this demo I feel a bit tired (it really hypnotizing!). This patterns and animations are great (as music also), so grab a thumb up by me :)

Normally I don't like pure animations because demos are all about realtime, but I love the looks and the great sync in this one! I only wish it had more "effects", i.e. variation. But great tune!

Extra plus point for being explicit! In first 2 minutes were nice and with a proper ending at that point the almost thumb would have been a definitive thumb. So keep 'em coming.

Once in the blue moon I would like to make such a precise designed and synced up demo. I clearly remember how I was speechless when I saw it for first time.

Mesmerizing!

I've been binge-watching demos recently and wondered if I ever thumbed up this one. Well, I'm doing that now. It's very polished and ironically, after a decade of multicolor engine exploration it kind of stands out. It's a neat little demo with hypnotic quality if you watch it in a dark room on a big screen.
