What? nooo! This was great! Don't screw with it. :)

I rather like where this one went, and it definitely deserves the top spot (and hopefully earns it during voting). There were some other good entries this year in the 64k compo, but I think this one was well far ahead from the others in execution. Conspiracy's prod (not uploaded here at time of commenting) was good too, but went more for nice playful visuals, rather than (in my opinion) the sort of stunning rendering and evoking views that came along with this production and their entry at last year's Revision.

Does it use sampled (non-synthesized) percussion? I swear I heard good old sampled hihat in that thing.

We use only 2 samples in this track; the kick and one of the snares.
However, h0ffman and ferris has been hard at work on WaveSabre. Won't be spoiling anything, and leave information about that to be shared by them when they feel like it :)

Coolest 64K I've seen since .. the product!? The dezign blinking lights looks so bloody sweet! And finally a tune with attitude in 64K again after a long time of ambientish / euphoria tunes in the other entries. Hope this is the winner!

Watching the pc 64k compo this year I now got serious jaw problems from all the dropping.

The beginning was absolutely stunning, it looked like an intro to some sci-fi tv series, but sadly it then turned into a little more generic fast paced type of demo with massive amounts of chromatic aberration.

Still had some amazing looking scenes, and I had a pretty good chuckle at "Farbraush destroyed".

Yeah the opening cinematic credits and the greetings part make this one, excellent work on those. At the party I expected this to win but watching it again at home took some of its punch away, maybe because the middle part is a bit too generic. Still one of the best in the compo.

rulez added on the 2017-04-19 12:53:42 by dodke dodke
Genuinely my favorite from the compo. Genuinely the best cinematography from the party (one of the few that actually had some thought put into that). This is how you make a fun demo that isn't over the top. I love the beginning and already praised greets. There's anamorphic bokeh too, n o i c e!!! Ok but you want pet peeves too right? Over done chromabs (well, radial blur at this point let's be honest), and the aliasing on the reflections. Could also maybe use a bit more complex material models on some of he geometry (the chrome spheres, again).

Anyway, wot a banga, u absolute madmen.

Wasted.
rulez added on the 2017-04-19 19:27:27 by noby noby
The beginning and the greetings were just awesome! The part after the "engange" however was boring and uninspired IMHO. The sync on the other hand... just the right amount, tight to the spot, not overdone and yet always there... perfect.

Definitely agree with zoom. This demo has some genuinely cool stuff (and the greetings made me chuckle) but overall doesn't feel as polished as your previous work. But hey, maybe the final will change that.

Espectacular eyecandy!
Like a realtime cinema4D in 64k!

Looking really good, as realtime versions of Blues4d or Beeple_crap stuff on instagram.

The soundtrack works really good. Wise decision to make on the tiny sampled drum instruments choice. Dev. time on finding the formulas to emulate the samples (and wasting perphaps more space) or wisely using a sample in this case.
Just for the sake of visual glow beaty!
Great intro, sincerely.

Final version is now available! Mostly technical fixes, and some visual things as well.

Changelog:
- Reduce startup time significantly (we measured up to 88% !)
- Add music pre-render dialog option for slower CPU's (makes above point moot if used :) )
- Improve performance for some scenes
- Fix strange banding artifacts beyond fog distance
- Minor visual/camera/post tweaks

Official 60fps youtube incoming; still encoding etc. Enjoy :)

Ahem - mixed up my comments for Elysian from TRSAC with this. So I'll just refer to my comments and that, and continue the confusion by commenting on Elysian in this:
Amazing visuals. I've always been a sucker for these super tight syncs with the visuals delivering an extra layer to the music and vice versa. We DEFINITELY have to catch up at some other party. I have to see Wavesabre and the way it's put together.
(so that's my comments for Elysian - check Elysian for my comments on Engage) :D

Just impeccable. That tuneage. That typography. That general style. That sync. Whoa.

Let's find something to nitpick tho... uh... ok, that slight drop in tension in the middle with the chrome sphere, and the DOF looks somewhat lo-fi sometimes (and not sure about those quick focus pulls).

Back to feeling destroyed tho. :)

There's something about the tune that bugs me, I think it's how the bass instrument is kindof... thin? It just doesn't gel well with the kick for me, but that's probably a taste/genre thing.

But then, as kb noted, nitpicks are nitpicks.

ahhh, I wrote that in the wrong browser tab, how embarassing :( What I meant to say for this prod is that I loved the lighting effects and the feeling of space and distance which comes across even on a small screen. The music, of course, was very enjoyable, but I am biased (;
nice sync points, love the camera jitter. cool tune also! Chromatic abberation to 11!

Oh wait, did I really forgot to thumb this up? One of the best produced intros since a longer while. Great tools and good care for details, also, what is probably most important at the end: pleasure to watch :)

Forgot my thumb up. Great as usual, graphics is fantastic and music is... wow, one of my favourite soundtracks.

Nice 64k prod and awesome music :)
Saw it for the first time now in the Dino demoshow at Evoke

Absolutely fantastic of course. My only (very minor) gripe is that the injection scene before the greetings drags on a bit too long, or maybe could've used a more dramatic payoff.

one of the best synced and polished abstract/electro style 64ks there is. great work its really a pleasure to watch (and listen to)!

btw: i noticed the demo switches a lot between stable 30 and 60fps (sometimes a little bit below but i guess my rig cant keep up at that times...)
are some scenes meant to show with different fps or is there some code that makes it lock to 30fps when its too slow or something?

missing thumb again. there really should be search for non-thumbed releases here on pouet.

anyway. the greets part on this one is something i came to watch this intro again for. too bad it was no enough to rank higher on the compo back then.

Personally, should be ranked 2nd. But that year at Revision was extremely strong in intros, could confuse how to vote.
