me too. since his worth all the thumbs up! love!
Great, looks like a clear winner from where I'm standing.
Gorgeous work!
if this doesn't win i'll be shocked to my core. totally original and GREAT intro!
excellent!
congrats to this marvellous piece of work! excellent style...that hurt plenty :)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fairlight = drugs :)
I turned my whole keyboard into a mess watching this
Cewl prod. Nice design also.. Reminded me a little to Melon Design from older times :D
'nuff said. here's my thumb :
trippy :)
respect.
*stunned*
outstanding
Fresh!?

about fx, cell shading and some lighting was good.

Great style, great joint.
This was awesome. Everything is so excellent.
Me likes.
massive spliff!
i guess i wasnt stoned enough to fully enjoy it - nevertheless massive props to smash and the crew for finally doing it. (raise your FIST! ;))
holy flying cow....is u guyz on drugs?
maybe not THAT much content, but everything there is really nice work. Clearly the winner imho. But please do something about that 2nd cloud fly trough to make it perfect (looks very much like a filler).
OMFG WTF
UBER KICK ASS
YOU RULE
UBER KICK ASS
YOU RULE
great style, massive content, respect!
Hurts.
Absolutely awesome.
ukscene!!
totally kickass!
Phenomenal!
Now this is the kind of FLT 64k I've been waiting for. Sweet! PS: "Mikä on reedin sukunimi?"
Totally ace. Easily the best 64k soundtrack in a long, long while.
wow!
all is great. (just a bad point for me : the name's choice)
Good music.
Good music and cool dude :)
waahoooooooo!!!
dunno what to say except that it totally rulez. had better (animation and )graphics than any demo actually. and the whole thing looks and sounds like a demo.
I would have liked to hear more variation in the music, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a total kickass prod. It indeed looks more like a demo.
Looks cool. Video anyone???????????
Great stuff, great style.
Nice atmosphere.
a solid winner. smash, reed, aln, kustaa - mad props to you guys
Great shit, especially the music.
Yeahhhh
great graphics, okay intro ;)
<3 flying cows <3
<3 flying cows <3
Beautiful
Wow!
When Dreams Come True
The Russian Mountain -_-^-_-^-_-^-_-^-_-
Amazing stuff for 64k, really high quality content, plenty of it, and the tune is really great. I guess this is the standard setting demo now, I can't think of anything else that matches it. Still a few bugs on my machine, the flying carpet thing flickered, and there was some jumpiness when the guy rode the cow, but still, minor stuff.
I'm Loving It!
vid pls :)
rules big big time. great style, great graphics, massive modelling & animation. no silly particles that glow shit. <3
black screen, followed by "you have encountered an error" ..

A total lack of respect to a dead hero (at least for Cuba).
finally you managed to make a moving character that looked sweet ;) his eyes are just of the totally wrong colour after that joint :(
the roller coaster was a bit cheap though, and that part also lasted too long.

Absolutely brilliant. Music is great, and it sometimes makes me forget that it's 64k.
Nicely done
Video damn it! VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO!
lustig =)
hmm
its rather booring, and has plenty of visual bugs, music is ok.
summa summarum: an intro you watches once and thinks "too bad they didnt do it properly, it couldve been nice, now its just booring" and never watch again.
i guess the reason why its so popular here is because the other 64ks at asm sucked and people WANTS to feel impressed, so badly that when nothing impressing is shown in a compo the visitors make a standard prod "perfect, best ever! beutiful! fresh and really cool!!!,technically amazing!!,pure leeet" etc etc.
fuck you. its ok, maybe even better than the average but not anything more.

Well yes, this is less impressive than other fairlight intros and especially the rollercoaster does look cheap.
But who wouldn't love flying cows?

sweeet one.
p.s.: don't watch the rollercoaster scene on a laptop while high on weed

oh man, supa-nice! (esp. msx)
what a trip!!
Maybe this is not the best 64k ever, but for now simply my favourite from this year. This is enough for a thumb up or not i don't know, but there is :)
Now how about finishing the demo.. ;)
Top quality! As I said, I really enjoyed the fantasy/smokish vibe in the intro, especially the final part with the flying mountains.
Big thumbs up from the around-30-crew in Dope. ;]

roxxx, as always, and respect again reed!
Nice to see you guys finaly make good intro. You have had potential, but not polished prods. This is just awesome.
acidbrain, I think Abyss' pronounciation of Che Guevara on stage beats any attempted disrespect (intentional or unintentional) for the dead hero.. I suppose you chose the wrong prod to be anal retentive about it..
Now... the intro.. well whoa!.. just whoa!. Impressive stuff! Style, and reed's music is just frackin' A! Well deserved win, and prolly next year's scene awards 64k intro winner.
When dreams come true!

I'm not sure why people praise this to high heaven.
- The music is very well done
- The overall design of the models and characters is pretty nice.
However:
- That's some seriously eye-gougingly bad cartoon rendering there!
- The utterly wrong motion blur just makes me want to bite my screen
- I will hate the character animation until senility finally will kick in for me (whether this is yesterday or in decades to come is open to debate).
On a whole the experience was set back by these two factors. It's still a pretty good piece of work but I can't see what people find so damn earthshattering about this.

Acidbrain: I hope you go up to folks wearing a T-shirt with his image on it and rip it off them in anger as well. It's just silly to complain about something where a person's image/vision has been diluted to this point to people who aren't the instigators.
As for the prod, it's another killer 64k from the FLT guys. If they keep releasing at parties like this we may have problems stopping them from taking all 6 slots on the scene.org awards (tho I will suggest that fiat homo belongs there period)

nice and all, but i somehow completely missed the point.
wow
wtf is che?
and no, i dont see any revolution with that, should i? :P

Amazing images and sound. The purple/yellow psychadelic 'background' was very cool.
In my top5 64k of all time..
In my top5 64k of all time..
A very nice display of "cram a fullsized demo into 64k". Models, textures and music, none of it would have been out of place in a normal democomp.
very nice intro.. but i'm too wondering about what does it have to do with che?
"kill a commie for mummy!" ;)
"kill a commie for mummy!" ;)
I liked the music, but I thought the design and animation was a bit ill-advised. I think that if FLT decided to do actual intros instead of trying to cram a lot of 'okay' content in their intros, they would be able to rock.
Nicely animated.
after watching it again and again, my guess is that the drug you're advertising is salvia divinorum.
didn't really work for me on the big screen but back home it's simply wonderful
boooring (and also precalc takes some several minutes ;(
very good and 12 thumbs up that it works on my lame gfx card!
extremely fresh! Cool music
quite damn cool. I especially digged the way the credits were presented. Too bad the prod itself didn't follow that style...
and, yes.. well the cow-fly-thingies kicked ass :-)

nice graphics, but boring
Groove feeling. Nice rollercoaster (effects don't have to be bad because the ideas are old). Cloud scenes a bit too long.
Some low hanging leaves (or roots) on the flying islands seem to be streched. A bug, Smash?

good,btw a bit boring
Yikes!
sis is qrazz!
I hate Fidel Castro and thus also his former "right hand" Che Guevara. He suxx to. Revolutions suck also the one very long ago in Cuba.
left hand rather ;)
Really nice piece of work.
not working on win2003 + gt6600 + 384 mb ram + 1,2GHz Athlon.
Does'nt run on my gf fx 5200, but its great, has the design, theme and overall goodness and 64k should have. Was great on the bigscreen! Keep it up lads.
not working in a winxp sp1 + ti4400 + 512mb ram
rave-n, read the fucking info file, it says ps2.0 required. which might give you half a clue while your ti4400 doesnt run it.
kbi, that config should work perfectly fine with it, so check your directx version and drivers. so if you could send some info (like where it exits or fails) that'd be really nice. it might run rather slowly on that cpu tho.
anyway, dont people remember that pouet etiquette says "dont thumb it down just cos it doesnt work on your config"? ... jees. how lame.
some other comments while im here:
manjit: you're absolutely right, the islands are bugging quite badly, i went a little far on float quantising before the deadline and didnt fix that one in time. there are some other bugs and glitches, so our usual promise about a final version goes here. (whether we stick to it, well.. it'd be the first time ever if we did =))
as it says in the info file, it needs a card with floating point rendertarget (16bit f and 32 bit f) support and ps2.0. that means you need something like a 5700 or 9600 to run it, and the 5xxx geforce series is going to do a pretty bad job on it. otherwise you dont need any special stuff, it should be fine on win2k etc and you dont need any d3dx dll. if i remember right it's compiled with dx9.0c, it could be 9.0b. =)
i had to take out the setup dialog and some error messages to make the magic 64k, so you're stuck with 800x600 fullscreen and aa enabled.
as for the name, the demo itself has no relation to it at all actually. but it made you wonder, eh? =)
we finished it, as usual, very late in the day - a few hours after the 64k deadline - but nowhere near as late as at bp, so it's at least in a little better condition than that one. unfortunately i was working on it at asm with a laptop that didnt actually run the intro properly, so fixing any design bugs didnt happen. so, yes, it's another unpolished release.

kbi, isnt dx9 only working on windows xp and not windows 2003?
oh, didnt notice the windows 2003 part =) ok, there you go.
a new classic! fairlight dominates!
damn, it's really neat, but i can't stand those colors :( i know, it's meant to be psychedelic ( isn't it ? ) but no, i can't.
i can't talk about models cause i havent fixed my jaw yet, sorry :- D

I like it a lot.
oh my god....exciting!!!!The music is very cool ;)
Nice style !
video is available from now on.. see [video]
Thank you Maali, now I finaly could watch this beauty :-)
Personally I would've replaced the rollercoaster attraction by something else, it's been done too many times. But apart from that this thing rocks.

kelsey: about the title -- check Smash's comment above.
thanks for the video. i guess i have a new 64k favorite.
whatever you guys have been smoking, i hope it doesn't cause any nasty aftereffects, because i'm willing to pay good for that when we meet next.

no comments yet? well, first thumb would go for probably the best 64k intro soundtrack i've heard... totally friggin' good synth and usage. second thumb would go for the nicely animated 3d models, which is rarely seen delicacy in this category. third one goes for the overall atmosphere. all in all, really top notch release that corrects lots of quirks and flaws we saw in the previous fairlight intro at breakpoint.
and most importantly, this makes me wanna do a kickass 64k, too. :)

wow! this is some awsome stuff, both eyecandy and consept rules! soundtrack kicked ass
Well, apart from being an elite prod this intro made me take a few minutes to read up on who this Che Guevara was. Do the same!
Che Guevara
Che Guevara
Doesn't everyone already know who he was? :p
che guevara is my hero. he tripped and fell upwards!! magic!
nice intro btw.
nice intro btw.
excellent 64K, no doubt :) . though I think this could have been even better in a number of aspects: while the character design is great, maybe comic-like cellshading with some outlines would have delivered stronger results here? also the camera work seems super random. especially in the beginning when that character is introduced the still camera sticking to the character in looong shots totally slows down the experience after starting out with pretty funky typedesign in a good rythm. "handy cam" style or some cool cuts would have kept up with the beat.
but anyway, kick ass 64K. hand me the dope ... : )

teel: That was just what I meant. Many people think they know who Che Guevara was. Ofcourse everybody knows he was a leftish guerilla hero in the Cuban revolution with close connections to Castro.
I wanted to read about what he actually did, when, what he did after the revolution, and what he actually stood for. Why? Out of curiosity and to get more intellectual tools to bash communists with.

it should be called Bob Marley anyway..

Wacky! The music and characters/animations are especially nice for 64k
Great movie Trace(but I would not say the protagonist is Che Guevara).Just saw the avi. The technique is fantastique, but I didn't like to much the theme of the intro. Sound was great:)
While the music rocks (reed rarely fails), the sloppy character design and animation (it's supposed to look funky and easy-going, but it doesn't) combined with the whole going-nowhere-esque feeling isn't all that convincing to me.
Looks nice, good music. Maybe some parts are a bit long but overall I like it.

Thanks for the vid. Unfortunately the high specs took away the "wow" factor for me, but I still think it's a great intro! It was so nice to see a change from 3d objects and dungeons, and the music is awesome! It all stands out as being different and I like that.
There were moments when it made me think of Freestyle, which is no bad thing at all!

what he did after the revolution
after? :)
Excellent. Very nice modelling etc. everything looks so stylish! The music is has this semi oldskool feel but brought up to todos standards.
shifter: Do you mean the revolution is still going on? I consider the Cuban revolution synonymous with the Cuban revolutionary war which ended in 1959.
After the Cuban revolutionary war Che Guevara became president of the National Bank of Cuba, and Minister of Industries for a few years. Then he went on to fight guerilla wars in Bolivia.

Very stylish demo, quite liked this one :o)
Love !
Peace !
and Karma!
i saw the video only; not perfect, but... wow :)
anyway, the main (the only :) character (i'm not that sure it is Che :) should definitely have some shadow

is the sound softsynth only? if so, how do you make the drums? ;))

fantastic production! the music/synth is awesome (especially the drums and leads are really nice for 64k). only one thing disturbs me: the camera moves are really strange and abrupt - please fix that!
hmmmm ... i don't like su much... sorry dudes! :(

afair the FLT-synth has had sample compression since quite a while now so its not really a surprise :)
yup they are samples compressed with a wavelet packer (i think). here's some interesting trivia though : the drum samples are not taken from real instruments, but are actually recordings of smash doing human beat-box.
brilliant.
rules big time. the soundtrack is one of the best i've ever heard in a 64k

I'll believe it when I see it. To me the drums have too much of a "mechanical" sound to be beatboxed.
The soundtrack is truly one of the best ever. I've got it ripped to mp3 and have listened to it for hours on end while working (hooray for headphones). And as good as it is with the drums and all, the softsynth is also a nice piece of work.
rezpect!
SJEEZUS... i can't believe you packed this stuff to 64 kb only.. great work..
Nice trippy feeling and great music.
nice cartoonish style
Not my taste but I have to admit that it's quite good for 64k (content, artwork, ideas) and the soundtrack is excellent.
Boring precalc time as usual and I fail to understand why the framerate is so low (GF 6600 GT + Athlon 64 3000) during the roller coaster sequence though.
Nice work anyway.

toasted/cubic team + le petit prince/kolor or what? but what are the flywing wild boars doing there? and the monty python letter rocks? ;-) LOVIN' IT! and Reed your music has teh stylee!
Hmmm, nice... but the music is not my taste.
very nice gfx, very nice music and VERY boring...
ROXX!
Hehe... Rocks heavy Times :)
you guys are sick. wonderful!
A true masterpiece, one of the best 64k i've ever seen in the last years.
Well, what can I say... just beautiful!
solid
Very stylish and well-rendered.
I was wondering about the samples, yeah, the snare sounded a little bit too good to be true :) Awesome soundtrack, and the entire trip is so very well done (is that a joint in his mouth? :p)
The only thing i would complain about is the walking, it seems it would be best if in sync with the music, but heck, it still rules :)

i cannot deny - a very, very impressive product; brave and monstrous. I just can't explain why i didn't love it. so pig.
wow :D
mmmm.. floating islands
cut scenes are great!
Aooo
Character animation is quite nice in 64k productions, it is so typical for Fairlight.
sweet....
Excellent
well done
f****g great sound track! Just listened to it in demovibes5 and had to retrace where it came from..
how did i forget to thumb this up?
I like the way "someone" pronounces "Che Guevara" at the Scene.org awards.
64k? - never! ;)
still remember that demo
fairlight's finest imo, mindblowingly good for 64k
Nice one... great music!
fairlight rlz!! Nice muzk, great gfx.
magic !
Graphics where ok, but musik and demo were boring (almost no content)
I love the music! =D
argh, forgot to give this one a thumb up :)
Congrats, your prod juste made me puke :D
Note for self : never watch a demo featuring a roller coaster with a hangover... Gonna sleep now
Oh, by the way : the intro kicks serious ass !

It just keeps going and going and going and you wonder how you can put so much interesting stuff with such a great style and such a good soundtrack in 64k.
+1
really great, love the music and character animation.
style+technique
that guy in the first part has reed. ....errrr. weed.
and the rest is good as well.
and the rest is good as well.
Oink oink
Awesome coding, horrible results...
Floating islands with flying cows around. Nice.
still kicks
Makes me smile! Very nice production. :-)
trippy
Good
Made me smile, dream and laugh at the end. Great one
Love this, the music style makes me thing about how to skin a cat :-) coolness!
is ok
que guevara?
Lot of great ideas and another nice tune by Reed.
no it is not ok.
it is a dream!
it is a dream!
didn't thumb this up yet?
Not my cup of tea, but nice job, especially for a 64k!
I hate this sort of intros, but models in this one is too good for thumbing down :3
beef on the wing :)
Soundtrack is a favourite of mine. One of Reed's best as far as I'm concerned :). Especially when taking the size into consideration.
Hehe
Awesome 64k!
Great style as always.
dope track.
nice
How could I forget to thumb this up? Awesome funky track and great visuals!
not my cup of tea, ossom direction nevertheless
I didn't like it when I saw it in 2005, but I can appreciate it better now. Still not anywhere close to my favorites though.
clearly some balancing issue wrt content here... a lot of things look severely under developed and lacking here, like the complete lack of environment geometry beyond the limits of the park, and very strange camera and pacing (again...), but there's some really pretty rendering here like the tents in the beginning, and the music is obviously solid
my favorite technical detail to nitpick is the selectively applied static directional (i mean, "motion") blur in the rollercoaster sequence =)

a classic 64K of that era, and yes the soundtrack is dope.
Bangs. Although it feels a bit rough around the edges, it works.
