Phenomenal visuals and design, really hits the demo aesthetic perfectly, at least to my taste. Deserved 1st place, congrats!

Also wholeheartedly agree with the message :-)
Hearing the authors, overwhelmed, making a speech at the prizegiving was an additional layer.
This demo is 0% fake.

The demo demo <3
The guitar part of this tune gives me the chills, and then there's this great demo too.
fantastic prod with some great super catchy incredibly well realised music which lifts in all the right places - bravo <3
This demo leads by example. :)
Great stuff!
best in the compo
I fully approve this message.
Nice demo
Some extremely cool scenes and effects, especially loved the reflections on all the spinning objects like the tape, floppy and compact disk. And the demoscene lifesaver rings were a neat idea. Very fitting music, too!
The nonstop flashing in the whole first half of the demo was a bit too much for my liking, however. I feel like maybe less would've been more in this case :)

Great flow and uses relatively small amount of content very effectively. I was immersed in demo for whole duration, instead of waiting for next scene to happen, which can't be said for most demos nearing 5 minute mark.
Was also great to see "demo demo" win, instead of one of them big budget hollywood productions :D

Very good. Congratulations.
The visuals were super cool, art style executed brilliantly and I believe The Message was touching to everyone interested in the scene in one way or another. Grayte stuff!
Nice message and some very pretty scenes. Got to agree with Sauli's comment. However, some of the stuff didn't work for me at all, like the Rush Hour scene and the nostalgia pandering with the disk/tape/etc objects that seemed completely out of place. Weak thumb up, I'm looking forward to see where and how you can evolve this style.
This is exactly what I want from my summer blockbuster demo. Flashy stuff, in your face attitude, tight sync and the music made me play air guitar in my home office. Fuck yes. By far the best demo in the competition and if anything ever was a breakthrough performance, it is this.
And the message was on point.

There is nothing wrong in having a Rush Hour scene! :D

True, but you must go full-on cheesy with it ;)
Great amounts of work and love in this one. Congrats!
This is a really good demo and I'm glad it won the compo. I was impressed by the consistent style and excellent visual design. Congratulations! I'm not sure to whom this is "nostalgic" as promised on the compo slide since this is clearly early 2010s retrowave style :)
Great production with polished soundtrack. A worthy winner. I suggest all of you to check the speech given at the ceremony though. Scene moment of the year.

All us kids that went to the Alive '07 tour and saw Kavinsky open :D
Man what a lovely demo and what a great speech! <3 Exactly my thoughts, don't loose the fun!
I'm notoriously known for beating on 'nostalgia' bait, but c'mon, the man is called Outron and made an outrun demo, I'm not gonna hate on this!!
cheesy as fuck. the silver car scene was indeed very Rush Hour-silly. but it plays well on the 'most demoish demo'-vibe that was direly needed in that specific demo compo.
Hell yes!
Fuuu
Excellent demo. Well done!
Rocks!!
What I saw was great. A demo demo.
It was 7/10ths of a funky FLT production, and clearly by far the best demo of the compo. Who are these guys !?

well deserved win. really nicely polished and didn't contain dull moments
Nice!
There's a raymarched cube. There is an envmapped car. There's a tunnel (well, two). The scene poetry has evolved into cliché slogans. And there are some objects spinning around in the center of the screen. Neither of this makes for a very interesting demo.
awesome one, good music, fast pacing, coherent visuals, and perhaps the best size/content ratio in the compo (but that's the different story :)
not a fan of nostalgia pondering and overdone neon stuff tho :)

perfect.
I like this so much.
The sincerely overwhelmed creators giving their speech at the awards ceremony was even better, though.

Cool flow full of energy, fitting music, pleasant colour palettes, I love it!
Best in compo for sure. Doesn't pretend to be anything else than a demo and doesn't sit on its ass for 15 minutes :)
Lovely in so many aspects; even file-size.
Very cool, smooth flow, but ofc I disagree with the message :-D
Bonus points for browser version (no exe!).

A stylish and polished demo in true demostyle.
Well deserved win :) I think the flashing should be a little more subtle, otherwise overall a very good demo

forgot to 👍 whoops
It's certainly a technical achievement, but I don't like the color scheme and the scene with the cars. Therefore, piggie.
Definitely my favourite in the compo
Perfect Assembly demo! Great prod. Great production.
And great message + speech at the prize giving ceremony.

Oscillates between "in your face" and "too cheesy" :).
I really liked the greetings part, with the different typos and (probably too much) flashing.

Message received :)
Very nice!
Could have done with less text, otherwise I approve of the message!
awesome debut production
What a lovely demoshow. Love the the music, love the nostalgia pandering, love the message! Must have kicked serious ass on the bigscreen!

These guys were watching your seminar talk at Assembly last year about how you made The Legend of Sisyphus. It was very inspirational. I was thinking about it a lot when making this demo. That, and deepr's Just Demo It talk. It's a shame there are no videos of them for posterity.
Super tight execution which made for a very fun and wholesome watching experience. Looking forward to see more of where that came from!
I approve of this message.

best response ever!!
So good! The car scene is my favorite. Nice meeting you at the party, and hopefully, we will meet again next year!
Not a huge fan of the somewhat ”glued on” text overlays, but other than that, a very solid ”assembly demo”. Keep it up!
I think you spent a lot of time crafting really good materials. great job!
Great demo, but not a big fan of the font choice
How did you render the car scene? The car looks polygonal, but the surroundings look raymarched. Do you ray march the reflections based on the triangle normals / position or something like that?

Happy to see this one won, I approved of the message and the speech at the price giving was fun!
It's one of the few times a PC demo gives me the good vibes, especially the music.
But everything is nice, clean, energetic, reminds me of older demos, like last time I really liked a solid PC demo with similar vibes in presentation/music is far enough.

Liked it very much!
I liked it. As the meme says : "Nice. Nice... Not thrilling ! But nice !" :)
Cool! Looks gorgeous all the way :)

You guessed it right! The tunnel and the car are indeed renderer as two separate passes and then merged. Some of the car's shaders include a simplified version of the same ray marching routine that is used to render the tunnel.
The depth info from the car rendering pass is also used to prevent the tunnel rendering pass from drawing occluded rays behind the car. We have this dogma, that the demo has to run smoothly on my mac laptop. I know this prevents us from doing really complex scenes, but the goal is that you don't need a super expensive graphics card to run the demo.
Outron/7 HUGE fan (huge indeed), excellent work, 2nd place doesn't actually "vituta", where I can contact u guys just for good times chat? Send me pm via IRC /mikron or telegram @mikronBee and let's talk about demos (and later via discord, that's the common language) NICE WORK!
OFC after being first full finnish group ever to win Revision we were gunning for for the double win as 1st group ever, but well u're standing our way. Ohwell this puts more pressure for us to take Revision trophy again and try double again next year : ) or lose the game at Revision already, against you guys hopefully ; ) Love your style and spirit! < 3
very nice demo with an excellent soundtrack!
Good vibes for sure
PURE FUN <3
Pretty and cool tune!
100% self coded bugs :)
great demo and incredible that it's your first release! I dig the flow, music, aesthetics and the message!
oh and the web version runs great on my pixel smartphone (it just doesn't go fullscreen)
So very good, in every aspect. 10 out of 10. 11 out of 10, if the prize acceptance speech is included.
No idea what the prize acceptance speech was so I'm forced to judge it on the demo merits - there's a lot to like here, what's there is well done, and I really can't knock the enthusiasm there, but it's also as safe as you can humanly get with the bisexual lighting and synthwave, and I could've done without the kumba-ya populism, earnest as it may be. Still, on principle it's at least doing what a demo is supposed to, and that ground is getting thinner by the day, so the win is deserved.
Well done!
After a couple of minutes I wanted to get sarcastic about this. But then it turned out that this is actually quite powerful as a demo, so I guess I'm convinced.
👏👏👏
A joy to watch!
Incredible!
It certainly follows the formula, but it does so, almost flawlessly. Very enjoyable, well done!
Pretty and I like its soundtracks.
ok
The technical part is good but the artistry is hit and miss. The segment with the car is especially underwhelming because it moves like a snail in a scene that should give the sense of speed. Also I'm freaking tired of fractals. People, let them go already, they bring nothing but deadly boredom.
22 Mb total, 11 Mb MP3 music.
Great quality/size ratio!
That's what I call the demo.

OK, this is excellent. And runs smooth on my M2 MacBook.
nice one, enjoyed every second of it.
Awesome!
Quite enjoyable demo and runs pretty smooth on an M1.
Holy shit! An outstanding demo that works on a wide range of platforms. The music is stunning, really empowering. Thanks for providing us this kind of demo entertainment.
