Pretty good for one day demo and i liked a lot that it didn't look like dreamchild or edge of forever.
Good job guys keep up!!!

Fabulous music. Nice desgin.
won-der-full!
Asd always makes good demos and this is no exception!
it's a fiiiiinaaal countdooooooown :DDDD
nice. typical but nice. (typical as in, same old chordprogressions, alphablends, transitions, etc. :)

Best one day production in ages. Final version with additional content maybe?
very nice effects and flow. rules, tho the music didn't really work for me.
Excellent music, kickass design+effects.
I really dig the flow, congrats.
Extra thumbs for the ending! :)

a bit boring but goodlooking enough. the music didn't fit the demo though..
Incredible!!! This is the first demo I've seen where all the effects scroll as one with seamless transitions. Like all previous ASD demos the design and direction is flawless.
And to compile something like this in one day is phenomenal!

damn.. it uses a refresh rate that is out of range of my monitor's capabilities..(I think)
kickass music!
very smooth
you guys are building trademarks on samples and colours, hm?
this is the good stuff.
this is the good stuff.
Awesome! And for a one day stuff this is just incredible :)
Nice demo !
Very good atmosphere / flow :)

excelent. I liked the "effect scroller" concept.
As has been said: the (lack of) transitions is brilliant. Music sounds a bit cheezy to me (though judging by the final 2 seconds you already know ;-) )
extra ! nice designs, nice music, and a little humor at the end with the final countdown... we like this kind of prodz !
IT 0WNES!!! IT SHOULD HAVE RANKED 1ST!!!
i love the cheesy music and the cool design!
but it stutters on my P4HT/GFFX5200/Sblive machine. :/ please fix!

this is beautiful.
eye: fx5200? let me guess, your previous card was a gf4MX :-))))

Go with the flow!
By far and away ASD's most solid and stylish production.
Tomaes: this was not coded at the party place. It was actually built 2 months or so before the party. One noon Navis came up with the idea of putting the one day limitation and see how it turns up. I scratched my synth for a while and had the music ready after about two hours (and that's why there's no variety in melody and parts). By around midnight the basic part of the demo was ready. After that, we spent about a week bugspotting (like the c++ timing bug) and writting the .nfo file =)
Oh, and it is a mutual agreement among ASD to only release final versions (unless there's some serious bug that slipped our sight) so I really doubt there will be another version with more content. Of course you can wait for our next demo.. pretty soon I'd say =)
loaderror: the refresh rates that eon uses are pure standard to be compatible with all monitors (and most importantly.. the projector at the party place). Make sure that you haven't explicitly set a refresh rate in your gfx card driver's control panel.
eye/midiclub: I've tested eon on my Athlon 900 with Geforce 3, and it runs smooth. Did you run programs that keep writting on the hard disk while watching the demo? Like distributed computing (Seti, UD), or file sharing progs (e-mule, kazaa and the like)..? Or it might be a driver problem?.. I can't see really any reason for stuttering.. Eon is very lightweight for today's standards...

The scrolling style was cool. I like the look of the part with the stipple pattern background the most.. The "light rays" adds a lot to the looks aswell.. Somehow the notes in the tune remind me of the group Air's style. :)
I dont think the spring-behaviour adds anything to the effects. I want more short consistent prods like this :)

You, misters, are very good.
As to expect from ASD the demo is very consistent and this time there aren't even any transitions which could be smooth as hell :)
The tune was nice to listen to but not outstanding.

pretty ...nice concept ...smooth ..everything we like
Good
Well,. I didn't enjoyed it that much at the partyplace (a scrolling screen, blended stuff, but nothing mindblasting), I have a better view upon it now I see it for the second and third time though, I like the flow and the music very much. Most polished demo at ReAct2004! (Others were a bit unfinished or coded on the party place :)
One day? I wish we could be half as productive as you =)

Love it, and i really liked the tune.
Some wierd white line glitches in the upper right corner when the background is black(ie very beginning and end) unless they were interntional?
9800XT and latest drivers.

Hm.. I noticed that on the big screen at the partyplace too... and the compo machine was running on ATI as well.. No such white line glitches under nvidia cards.. Anyhow.. it's minor and It's not hindering the viewing experience me thinks..
Well, normally ASD has too many different ideas in one demo - this one, being rushed, has just the right number. :) The flow between parts is much smoother than before. The music reminds me of Vincenzo/CNS's work - again, much cleaner than previous ASD music.
Oh, I forgot to give it my thumb! Here you have it, you really deserved it! ;-)
hmmm, i didnt dig it. slow pace, little fx and nothing kickass... so piggie! nevertheless more enjoyable than the demo that won react.
Eminently cool, but I get the same weird glitches as Intrinsic (Radeon9500, latest drivers). A bit jerky as well, but hey, it rocks.
i REALLY liked this demo!
Skaven style music is a little bit outdated and boring althought, i would prefer something more 'fresh'... (that not means that the music is bad!)

Skaven style.. lol =).. I'd take that as a compliment =) Anyhow.. I really don't believe that Skaven is the copyright holder for Lead Synths =)
reptile: until a few weeks ago my card was GF2MX400, downclocked because else it would crash. :>>>>>
aMUSIC: it seems to stutter when the framerate drops under approx. 10 FPS - like many other FMOD based demos do, unliike BASS. No, i don't have any distributed computing or filesharing. Only things to try to disable would be an AntiVir PE/XP runtime and Hyper-Threading CPU - i give it a try on occasion. GFX drivers are 53.04 - i have to use this old version because else one game does not run. :////
The image is good even in top-optimized mode.

eye: HT causes no problem to it.. it's tested on a 2.8HT cpu (gffx5600) and it goes smooth also.. Hm.. it seems that some kind of configurations have trouble with fmod.. could anyone possibly point out what would that be?
nEC: I was watching this on the big screen and thought exactly the same thing: This sounds alot like Skaven's tracks :-)
Anyway, the music was very good and the concept quite original and polished. It came second to Sense Amok's "Negative" because the latter was more energetic, but technically Eon should have won. Doesn't matter though, what matters was that React3 was a great party! :-)

ASD definetaly rocks!
How, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, very nice !
Outstanding work, design and music, as always from ASD.

nice work... music is good, visuals are clean... maybe the flow is too slow
good work for a 1 day prod. but wtf was that sample i heard in the end??? :P
lol.. ps =) maybe some scener who got the joke may shed some light in this... I can only say that it is tightly connected with the little graphic that appears while you hear that sample =)
Rumour has it that mckracken knows more about two headed squirrels. Oh, and about Europe too.
Very nice prod from ASD, although I definitely do not consider it in the same quality class of any of ther post-97 prods. It had design but that was never my first concern in any demo, so I really prefer the sense amok prod from all react '04 prods. Still terribly impressive for a one day work, extremely impressive I should say
Hello.
Glad you liked it, as it was just an exercise in minimalistic demomaking. No 3d here, just a canvas with a few effects.
Our next demo is scheduled for Asm 04. I will follow the edge of forever/dreamchild tradition. Will we ever make another EON ? yes, why not. :-)
Navis/asd.

sexy!
i don't see how this demo differs that much from Edge of Forever, or Dreamchild... smooth transitions, slow-paced effects, and overall nice visual quality :-)
Rules =)
Rules =)
Good flow and poetic visuals ...
ASD did it again !
ASD did it again !
so smooth.. great colours, great sync, great everything.. respect.
It makes me think that a significant part of the code is a copy/paste from dreamchild, but apart that, the demo is a classical "ASD Demo" :-)
Nice work, but... more of it next time ;-)
Nice work, but... more of it next time ;-)
Really, really nice. I love the continuity in the visuals. The effects could be a bit better or more original, but overall really nice design!
nice prod ... music kinda reminded me of the tracks in the future crew prods ...
Nice but boring :)
where's the raw energy of Cadence and Cascade ?
4NAVIS - You make my day !!! Another dreamchild/eof prod for Assembly 04!!! Yes ! Yes! Yes !
aMUSiC reads about raw energy and lets a slight grin appear on his face.. Yutani.. be very careful of what you wish for... you might get it.. =)
I can't imagine this pouet entry without a certain word somewhere in its comments: blue :P lots of it used in a beautiful way! congrats to asd!
ASD Forever!! Again they have showed a touch of class with great music design and code, Navis shows off how code is always in flow and synchronize right through to the end.. ASD deserve more respect these days, they should have won more awards at Scene Awards 03 for Dreamchild..keep the quality coming guys.....And at ASM04.
Alternative download link (scene.org) here
yeah ;D
Should have won, punt uit! ;)
Well the dezine is quite okay, and I like the idea about having a smooth journey through the whole demo. But it get too boring for me...
We want action and inventive effects...

I don't get the squirrel joke. I thought that the end music has to do with the timer running or something..
Optimus... you dissapoint me... wasn't it you that started this thread: http://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=786 ???
I had the slight idea that it must be about THS, I just don't know what you have with this guy and what do you want to say. It's me who should have! :)
It's an inside joke for THS, after saying that the music from Dreamchild was cheesy like Final Countdown from Europe or something. Anyway something like this, i don'a have a good memory after all.
I searched for this at THS reviews but I couldn't find this..
well.. you have to search harder then.. =)
wooh so stylish and beautiful like any ASD prod :)
me wants it longer :p
me wants it longer :p
BEAUTIFUL!!! Cute look and music!
The music really grows on you, i like it even more now :)
Thumb up again!
Thumb up again!
elegant, outstanding music, nice effects, perfect sync, cool colors and no transitions for one of the most enjoyables pieces of code i have ever seen.
My respects :)

I love the way this demo pulls so many diverse design elements together into a coherent whole. It is a real treat to watch. My only complaint is that the colors at the very beginning need some work.
It's suprising to see how something that started out as a time-framed production has moved ppl in the way that it has. Thank you all for your comments and the insight they bring to our future work.
Excellent
yes. yes.
glDisable(GL_BLEND)
good flow.
Ok Optimus, if you're still searching, here it is. Check the last article and do the "connect the dots" thing.
Hm. I'm normally a fan of ASD's "no-cut" demos, but for me, this was mostly a long scroller without being all that interesting, and the music wasn't my thing either. Big props for doing it in one day, though :-)
ASD
ASD indeed, though this isn't nearly as good or special as their other demos. Still, the music is nice and there are some nice graphical ideas in it.. and it's different :)
so smooth... love it
Damn cool!! Very clean design and fx, interesting job by aMusic with the soundtrack, and stylish light effects ( I love them). Great work! :)
great, i like the "text ribbon" effect
anything that samples "the final countdown" gets a thumb up from me (oh and the prod was pretty cool aswell!)
cute. great for a one day prod.
Tasteful show ASD.
tempting visuals and a good tune by amusic, although the lead melody is a bit too retro for my taste meanwhile.
Atmosphere. Nice credits. Baby smooth demo. Europe.
not bad :)
Wow done in a day :)
Cool and very enjoyable, like the Final Countdown melody at the end too.

Awesome. Those colors are just beautiful. The music is great. Rocks altogether. :)
a cutey :)
looks beautiful but is boring.
nice springy circles (screenshot), but overall a bit too messy. maybe too calm tune...
Sweet!
I meant to thumb up! :(
Found it on an old CD-ROM, watched it. Smiled.
This could be an advertising demo for e-on energy group with it's shining lines and circles. The electricity is everywhere. I like the design, which fits to the music and the idea to make a side scroller with a spatial depth. Great job, especially for a day!
mmmh... reviewed this. pretty advanced and well synched!
Ermm... sorry , but should deserved a 1st place.
Ermm... sorry , but should deserved a 1st place.
a bit boring, weak thumb up.
boring
its the final countdown!
liked this but never thumbed
I especially like the music, except the last seconds...
Very Nice flow! relaxed...
vastly underrated
Many get much worse results after weeks/months of work.
Very good tune, and effects!
truly a gem of early-2000s demos
In my top 10 Amiga demo !
my forever top!
