Cool, style. Nice for platform.
Nice atmosphere! And the greets twister looks very cool!
yes
Some background info: we did not want to create a "wannabe Amiga demo" but work out the Next's own, specific style, rooted in its ZX Spectrum heritage. Hence we're using 256x192 maximum (which is also much easier to handle on a 8-bit processor!) and a limited palette of 21 colors (placing it strategically so colors can be added/subtracted to without caring of the saturation).
The demo also pushes the hw quite a bit. No known to us ZX Next emulator atm can show it properly :)

This was nice to see on the big screen, and chat with RCL about :)
slick show, with its own distinct style - also good to see ZX Next getting more demoscene love, as it was was with other enhanced speccies back then :)
Finally, work on Next showing that it is not “just” a Zx clone, but something much more. Very good demo - I'm waiting for more! ;)
damn son
The guys really did a great job! Digital music and interactive effects control are fantastic.
Very important moment in history of ZX Next:) First demo that bends the limitations.
Incredible work.
Incredible work.
good
amazing demo, this should have won!!!
nice
I'm still wondering when did NЁXT become retro (according to the compo this was shown at)
What would you call Next, then? Certainly not a modern computer that should have competed in the Modern demo compo instead, it is not qualified by any stretch. The 8 bit machine is much, much weaker (like 100,000x slower) than the weakest smartphone you can buy. It is as retro as the Sprinter, ZX Evo and other ZX Enhanced platforms.
