Great energy. Especially love the anglerfish-scene.

Supah fresh. Fast with nice color effects and great gfx

Fucking awesome. Haujobb-vibe. Incredibly good music. And the creative output feels totally AI free. Very impressive.

haujobb out-haujobbed themselves
although with the recent wave of dreamcast ports (see e.g. Falco Girgis' on socials), i expected something a lil bit more from the technical side.. still awesome though! :)

Fresh fish. Energizing.

proper demo ! hell yes !

what kaneel said but console demo = obligatory thumbs up.

real haujobb stuff which i love, alternative platform is a nice bonus too

Have to admit I was disappointed with this one. Many of the ingredients are good, but as a whole it's a bit of a mess.
Really liked it, that unmistakably Haujobb stuff and platform autothumb - but I would thumb this on any platform :) should have won IMHO

Impressive! So nice to have seen this one on the big screen. The sound track is also spot on. Well done!

A really fine test run for the new toolchain - and hopefully more to come! :)

Welcome back Fuzzel! Promising start for further upcoming Dreamcast demos from the team ;)

There’s loads of energy in this demo!
rulez added on the 2026-08-24 11:56:44 by toms toms
Well, between that 1080p 60 fps emulator capture shown in the compo / youtube and what you get on the real device at 640x480 and much lower FPS (sometimes feels sub-30 fps) is a big difference mind you..
Just checked it on the real thing with VGA output on an LCD.

Still happy to have a new DC demo in 2026 of course .)

Platform thumb! Also thumb for a great and proper demo with a banging soundtrack - well done all!
rulez added on the 2026-08-24 14:49:02 by PRiDE PRiDE
Ok, after carefully rewatching the capture and comparing on the real device the framerate differences probably aren't as dramatic as I wrote before.
Probably mainly in parts where a lot of alpha/transparency fillrate is burned, but that's to be expected :)

I need to buy a DreamCast (again).

Very nice, and clean, with nice effects. I love the platform choice, and especially the sound during the credits - very nice.
rulez added on the 2026-08-25 14:59:11 by Hannibal Hannibal
Really nice one...

Nice platform choice and insanely stylish!

I dunno... This falls pretty flat to me.

So, basically they cheated ?
Looks like weak code anyway (but sounds good & some nice pictures).

very nice release, especially because it has a lot of room for improvement in the technical part.
people, the DC battle is on!

New Dreamcast stuff is always great and it being done by a group that is known for targetting other platforms, even better. Having said that, the visuals inspire for more. I love the effects, and the 3D parts, but it isn't that coherent. I feel there was an effort to do an Amiga AGA 3D style demo here, but the pacing felt off.

Nevertheless it still gets a thumbs up because the Dreamcast has so much more to give. There is a lot of untapped potential here1

Very nice.

How this was not #1 ?

Adamantly looking for a second hand DreamCast right now.

Supergeil!

Finally a new production for the great Mega... no! Dreamcast I mean.
Good flow, nice effects.

Dreamcast can offer much more, but knowing there are not too much (if any) fresh prods for this platform, every nice demo is a milestone for it!

Thanks dudes for your job =).

Rules.

Platform thumb! I like the idea of an angler fish that has evolved the ability to show demo effects on its lure. :D
