Wow, great visual and audio show!

Blabla prods are getting more and more polished, excellent (i guess FRA had a certain input on this).

Wow wow wow ! Payes ton style :)

Huge step forward for blabla, really enjoyed this one on the party despite being quite bugged.

Excellent work guys!

Holy shit what a style! Not that I ever doubted Fra, but damn damn damn - you rock! :D
Tune got me bouncing, while tapping feet enjoying that kick ass sync for the splendid visuals.
Keep it up! <3

Oh, and whatever Alpha C will say about it too! :D

It's 4 sure a very original prod as we can expect from Blabla according to previous demos.
Very interessant effects, fast (bump)mapping, plasma, blur, dissove fx on piccies, distort, ...
I have trouble to imagine how you have coded several effects.
New such effects needs lot of precalculated effects -> 4Mb required with 676k prg -> Result is here : excellent.

With more polished gfx, it would be marvellous.
But this kind of gfx match the whole style of the demo though.
So does the cool buzzin' music by 505 :)

Yes, it is a good style. Looke gorgeous on the big screen

It was a pleasure to work on a STe prod with Cyg & 505 <3

Not a huge fan of the graphics but nice style and awesome code overall.

yoo ! i love it ! especially the green blob ! fu*****g good and ready to buy soon a 520ste to test all this ! thanx a lot :)

Wow, another one! What's happening?
This is big, with good effects, colorful. Is there some hardware trick or raster sync used for the colors? I don't remember atari having so many colors at the same time.
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 09:18:30 by Optimus Optimus
Nice!
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 09:34:57 by UKKO UKKO
I really like the visuals
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 09:35:49 by krusty krusty
Very nice, imo works much better than the clowns one :)

Optimus: Cyg is the guy who did the demo with the Clowns not that long ago. And yes it's based on multiple palette color change per scanline, every single line. There's probably more palette data than bitmaps :)
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 09:39:10 by Dbug Dbug
Visually very unique and great music! Well done.
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 09:47:47 by elend elend
Holy fuck, what a Nineties flashback. This reminds me a lot of some old Orange and CNCD demos for the DOS era, and this is a huge plus in my book. Great style, great effects, great music, great demo.
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 10:07:54 by Preacher Preacher
oh yeah! excellent graphics and a nice soundtrack.
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 10:46:32 by a-move a-move
Phat tune! Great mix of graphics AND colorshock. Must have taken forever to generate those images and palette data.

The "use your rockets" and "main brain" parts look great.
The vertical distortions here and there help a lot!
The intro effect with the eagle is super stylish! It would rocks like a million fraggles if instead it was a plasma going from B&W to color on that image instead of doing that switch per scanline "only".

Seeing that you manage to mix static multicolor gfx on top of your colorshocks, makes me wonder how cool your technique would like with the vertical scrollers made of a vertical stripe of 5-7 colors and a simple color switch per scanline, you know like the the ones that can look 3D-ish, twist around and co and were popular in the late 80's, early 90's.

Well done guys!

+ what Preacher said about the great Orange & CNCD vibe here.

I Liked the green blob screen and especially phatty-fatty buzzzz sound effect!
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 11:05:46 by moredhel moredhel
wow! great demo! hard to believe that it's running on a stock Atari STe :D

good job Cyg & Fra!

BlaBla's demos are like a fine wine that is starting to become good, it gets better with time. Now it's time to drink it this year because it's very good ;))
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 12:00:01 by Zorro 2 Zorro 2
Excellent!
It makes me forgot it's a bare STe doing the tricks: the FXs are so colourfull and with minimal artifacts, there are a lot of synchronisation with the cool music (probably not easy with all those colours around). Moreover the design is faultless and funny!

Exactly my type of demo! Thank you for making my day! :D

(minor drawback: 4Mb ram... well, the result makes us bypass this)
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 12:34:50 by baah baah
Cool effects here, and the whole demo was really good :)

underrated demo because on the party it runs only from emulator.
Very good job! Want more

Oh yeah ! excellent use of the STe's hidden true color mode :) Congrats Cyg and Fra.
Moar pls, kthx !

Marvelous, magnificent style, supported by fantastic music. Can't believe it was placed fourth place.
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 18:54:53 by dhor dhor
Original, and good exploration of hicolour display encoding (with more than one 'error target' I guess?).

The clowns were technically good and first example of this idea but this is a better demo.
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 19:16:14 by dml dml
Pretty damn good demo.
Recommended for humans and also robots.
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 19:20:21 by ham ham
really great and stylish visuals.
i don't like the tune, but it does not prevent proper thumbage! :)

Wow! Colors, so many colors! :-)
Awesome demo! Can't figure out why it didn't score better at the party!
rulez added on the 2013-11-14 22:32:57 by Daniel Daniel
Cool true color original effects.
The muzik rocks and cleverly uses STe sound system.
rulez added on the 2013-11-15 00:18:23 by MetalAges MetalAges
Amazing entry! Now I could take a look at this great demo without bugs. What a pity that it wasn't released in final shape till the compos. It could be much higher on the list. Anyway my STe is more than happy to get it!
rulez added on the 2013-11-15 00:48:54 by grey grey
Fine demo for the STE
rulez added on the 2013-11-15 12:02:48 by Iapetus Iapetus
Thank you for all your feedbacks :-)

4MB should'nt be mandatory, but I prefer to load everything from start and of course hicolor need more space & memory than 16 colors. 1MB is enough for every FX separately.

For those interesting, I made a specific MegaSTE version, only rotozoom should be crap : http://top250filmsdvd.com/atari/STRGMSTE.prg

I'm on the next ;-)
Great effects & visuals and cool music!

_Almost_ makes me want to get a real ST sometime :P

Den: STe ... you need an STe. I won't run on a normal ST.

Now that I've seen something other than the rough party version. Probably the best one yet. Where is Cyg going next with these techniques?
rulez added on the 2013-11-16 16:14:51 by CiH CiH
The force is strong with this one.

Wow, Cyg is pushing the limits of what's possible on the STE once again, this time together with an impressive design by Fra and another great tune by 505. Keep up the good job! :)

Could somehow compete with some PC demos from the 90s ;)

Great work!!! i'm sure, it was superb in live on the big screen!
rulez added on the 2013-11-18 17:20:56 by sINk sINk
what is this hackery!?
i tried counting the colors, i gave up but it was sure more than 16!
rulez added on the 2013-11-18 17:43:39 by wysiwtf wysiwtf
Incredible, another demo pushing the limits of the STE!

Tech notes:
I had to switch off my UltraSatan otherwise some parasite dots ruined the show. It is not due to my STE because I experienced the same problem on my other STE.
Another workaround is to reduce the memory of the hard disk driver, it is easy to do with HD Driver (press Esc while booting).

A new Atari Falcon demo ? ;)

?too many colors error in robot...
very nice pixelpushing, fitting tune by 505 and some nice gfx...
has been a pleasure to see it "live" during the compo.
nice work and thanks for the greets, do I have to stop washing me now, since I have been greeted in a kick as STE demo?

Otherwise I loved the whole prod. Thx! :P

Some parts are a bit too long but other than that this is a really enjoyable demo. Catchy tune by 505 as usual and some really nice code+design here. Good stuff!

Hold on a second, I didn't comment on this?

It's excellent!

I like most of the effects and the graphics are just neat! The soundtrack is perfect and it's exactly what you would expect if you let CyG loose on an STE.
Also, many thanks for making a MegaSTE compatible version :-)
