Nice „Monty Python“-style.

at least before facet and critikill tried to hide their ai usage with fancy dithering, but after drama they just went "you know what fuck it we don't care" and smeared this lazily converted bullshit. not even that much of an ai hater, but this is just stupid and tasteless

A mashup of Amiga-themed AI generated imagery without an idea.

Flying Circus! Very fun demo.

Ignore the AI ​​haters because the day is not far off when they too will use it.

I divide demos into three categories, one, I want to watch again, two, it doesn't thrill but has moments, and three, I want it to end as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this is the third category, eminently tiresome

funny style, cool music too

Just a bunch of scaling, rotating and translating 2D clip-art images moving around the screen, no clear theme, but the music is great!

to present this before the last one...
Monty Python style not helps.
stupid AI art, ugly converted photos.
some FX is ok, but not saving the prod.

nice

Great demo, nice music and very funny!

Fuck you and your "AI" trash.

Not made by human hands.

Even when disregarding the ai slop it doesn't GO anywhere, it just keeps spinning and zooming stuff without any progression or connection to the music (which is fun for a while, before becoming tiresome).

I like a good collage demo, but this isn't it.
I suspect it'll eventually be a thumb-down due to the graphics, but I'll watch it on real hw first to see if there's anything there that'll save the piggy.

fuck off ai

I don't like thumbing down Amiga demos, but please stop the slop. I especially like how the octopus has three rows of suction cups on one tentacle and another tentacle with suction cups on alternating sides. At least pretend to care?

Should have been disqualified with extreme prejudice. If you want to insult the scene, please do it elsewhere. We don’t want your slop. Fuck off and don’t come back. People like you killed the Amiga scene, and we will never forget or forgive.

Also fuck you ham.

@grip: I'm shocked you didn't say anything about the mustache on that alien mollusk.

@uncle-x: Thank you for your kindness. This is what I love about the scene, the kindness and camaraderie.

I could forgive AI use for particular images, but the whole demo has a feel of being made by AI, as it doesn't seem to have a soul, idea or style to it. Just compare it to Smokebomb to feel the difference.

What they said. The tune by Soda7 suits the demo very nicely though.

AI trash for the trashcan. SoDa7s tune deserved better.

i hope this ai crap stops soon, it's an insult to the scene

Disgusting and disrespectful use of AI art. I feel a bit sorry for the tune which was really nice!

Slop.

N°1 The Larch

wow i really hate this ai slop. I was able to get some kind enjoyment out of the music but the shitty generative "art" just made me sad and did a disservice to the music :/ have some dignity for christs sake.

SoDa7 - very good track.
I'm not really a fan how AI was used there though.

dunno what's worse... the bucketloads of AI artwork or the naivete (i hope?) to even make and release something like this. at least not a lot of effort went to waste here ;)

I think that it is much better than a lot of 3d so popular nowadays

Not my fav, but it is funny anyway...

Thumbs down if you are against the use of AI in prods is ok. But as far as I know this prod hasn't broken any contest rules and I think there's no need for the viciousness of some comments either.
Otherwise I find it a cheerful and friendly demo. A pity.

i'm very sorry to thumb down a darkage demo - a group of which i have very fond memories -, and one that has an excellent soda7 soundtrack. but the AI randomness of the gfx is simply unbearable.

I feel so sorry for this prod'! Obviously lots of work was put into it, and it sweats love and sympathy for the demoscene. I enjoyed it on the big screen, a bit too long for my taste though, and it would have benefited from a story (e.g following one of the characters). At least, they took the risk to try something different, which is great.
I understand the AI frustration, and I partly share it because Facet and Critikill are so good at pushing pixels, they don't need AI. That being said, there's a huge amount of graphics, so it would have taken an insane amount of time to do everything by hand I guess.
Anyways, here's my thumb, keep on trying new stuff!

Amusing demo. AI gfx does not bother me at all. I'm sure a lot of work has been put into it anyway. Keep up the good work guys. Don't get discouraged.

Here you go. Just to keep the down/up thumb balance roughly where it belongs.

Fuck AI demos !

Awful! Im really surprised that this release gets positive comments at all. :-(

And I'm truly surprised that the love for the scene shown in this cheerful release has to be responded to by creating new accounts to spew vicious messages.

Long live cowardice!

It seems we are entering a Dark Age. The Anti-AI Holy Inquisition will soon light bonfires.

But not to sit around drinking beer, no.
