awful music and slow on 6600 GT
released for fun.
video is recorded with fraps on my gffx5700, sorry for the sound compression :)
see ya.

same as above.
i give my thumb for the good piece of code ...
Art-wise, it's an other story :)

I haven't run it yet, but judging from the video it's cool enough.
Nice code. Almost a thumb up, really, but ... argh, the music is unbearable. The synth engine seems actually pretty good, though.
Looks cool. Music not that good.
8-14fps on 1.6Ghz Athlon w/ gf6800LE.

Nice idea.
The realisation could have been better though ( i.e. changing the side length of the buildings, making an allusion to Shell Beach )

SKARAB C DLA MERDE HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ SKARAB = SHIT! AND HE'S TEH ONLY ONE TO GREET HIMSELF IN HIS OWN .NFO! STFU SKARAB t'ES QU'UNE MMMEMMMMMEEEEEERRDE TU PUES§ HAHAHAH PD!
no.
mm, shoouldn't be optimized, it's really slow and... i don't like; sorry
and the music sucks MAJOR DICKS FFS§§
concept is original btw, i should have thumb up.. too late =) sorry (.......)
hahhaha :)
liked the concept, not the music sorry... and well it's damn slow :/
I wont thumb down because iks is overreacting a little :)

Very nice looking intro and it runs great here on my Geforce 5700mx ..
Although the music does irratate.

why is it so slow :(
But i liked the bonus one

It ran 0.05 FPS (yes, it renders every 20 seconds) at the office. I'll try it at home with an FX card but before that I downloaded the video version and wathced it with a reasonable FPS :) it's good except this horrible music.
I liked the effect, very good for 4kb. I disliked the music and I think you should also optimize the effect. So, it's a piggy. But keep working on this kinda demos. Skarab seems like a good coder.

Nice visuals.
absolutely unbelievably bad framerate (on a gffx5700 quadro, actually - one frame every few seconds). part of being a good coder is managing some kindof reasonable framerate, right? =) and the music was terrible.
however, at least on the video version it actually looked decent, and i didnt think i'd say that about a skarab prod. =) (the shadows pretty much make it, i guess)

I thumbed it up from the video version. The executable runs a ~ 2 SPF ( Seconds Per Frame ) on my GF4.
HEY! is there any problem with music sync ? :) but everything else are ok imho...
It's a bit slow and the "music" sucks donkey balls, but other than that, it's cool. I agree with gargaj, why not get artists to work with you?
becuz artists dont want to work with him!
looks good, runs like shit and sounds even worse.
thats 2-'s- against 1+
better luck next time?

second smash! (not about the framerate, since i dont have a decent gfx card, mommy: send money)
visuals are good (and fast on gf6800 go), synth is good, music is horrendous.
The music is terrible. Softysnth sounds ok though, visuals look ok, but lacking synching to the music imho. So, code is good, the rest is ok.
this could've been nice, but the flow and the music really sucks. piggy.
just work more on the flow next time and get some better music, because the synth seems to have potential.

good visual.
some scene is nice.
however, bad music.
and code is too slow. (perhaps 8fps)
however, video version rox.

I wish I could vote for it but the speed is too slow for a thumb up.
good to see the 60mb process finally got terminated. but yeh, get someone who can at least do you some good samples with your synth coz the music now is totally detuned and earbleeding :P
at least skarab is progressing, well done :)

ok...
20 fps on a 7800 GT ;) Interesting lighting on uninteresting geometry.
hmmm - the "muic" is awfull
is ok, but much better than previous releases.
white noise hihat can only be used if you... ah, i shouldnt say that.

nice, terrible music! :D
How did you get the framerate? (bonus was slow)

I only saw the video. That was really nice, but as already mentioned, the music is terrible!
those titan heros are just jealous!
it's not -turbo kickass- but hey :)

ugh, I've just re-heared it :\ ...please re-tune the notes =)
rate = pow(2, semitone/12)
rate = pow(2, semitone/12)
the video is okayish. minus the tune :)
I thumb it down for fun.
Not that bad but not outstanding either.
really cool visuals, and hey, the music isn't _that_ bad
so slow and boring. music sux
Ok 4K rulezz for synth etc... ! is slow slow slow...
Skarab the player the 4K slayer Yeah!!
not so bad. except the coder. but he made progress. thumb up for the time passed on coding.
not worth deleting, either.
also, this thread once again makes me wonder, how did you titan lot manage to get such a huge pack of lamers together? i mean, did you make a forum post somewhere saying "lamers wanted for new group" or something?

Let's all go buy super fast gfx cards so we can watch 4k intros at a decent framerate. No thanx...
nice one skarab ! but i prefer the preview than this final version (faster and better effect)
watch the video if you don't have a geforce 50 !

im inclined to think this is all cpu rendering.. so a fast gfx card wont make much diff.. runs nice for me tho (athlon xp 2200GHz)
@ hooverphonique: I have 2.8 Ghz and it still slow here...
Yes it's slow, the size makes there is no speed optimisation in that, and there is a big bunch of faces with all these cubes which create big bunch of faces for stencil tests. Yes shadows are cpu calculated (no use of shaders at all).
I've done some tests, there is a speed fall with some drivers : i couldnt get the same framerate i've had when making video, cause i had changed drivers (dont remember with version), but yesterday i installed the last nvidia drivers, i just tested now to launch it : i get 20fps (more than in the video) on my gfFX5700 - Athlon 64 3200+. So try with the last drivers. ( i don't know where come the framerate with others drivers, i'll try to check that, if i can, it looks like a malfunction in the init which create bpp conversion or something like that... )

bonus version actually doesnt run with ATI (use of nv_texture_rectangle)

sorry, it works on ATI
it have good dark atmosphere, nice work!
cool shadows but got boring quickly
Good works
sorry, no
really cool code...well done on the shadows.
what auld said..
auld was wrong. Fortunately I get a second chance to balance that out. This is actually quite good in 4k in retrospect and I regret the thumb down. Sorry Skarab hopefully this balances it out a little.
soo slow
... to counter-part all these skarab-targeted fuckings ...

music: unlistenable UUUUURGH patterns but actually a promising synthsound.
skarab you seem to be a reasonable coder - why not get an artist or two to actually produce something cool?
