Impressive
Cross development tools on PC can bring CPC back to life. :)
I like your code Ramlaid!
Great job BEB and Zig Jedi too.

Thanks all !
You can use WinApe Amstrad emulator to see this demo.
http://winape.emuunlim.com/
It's qwerty keyboard :).
Just load the .dsk in emulator and :
run"-dtc

The first part brings me a deja-vu of similar parts released in several CPC demos, although this time it has better colors and some parallax moving or translucent layers of shapes. Looks preety impressive even if it's based on the same concept. I equally like the second part too. I haven't seen such a big and cool distortion effect on the CPC, on such a colorfull logo (Actually I can't curently recognize what's written on?! ;)
Oh, and it's sooo great to watch a new CPC demo again! =)
I propose that you call your next demo 'SMB' :) That would be a perfect complement to DTC !
Seriously this is very nice. I guess you used your special custom YM player to achieve the constant CPU time thingy :D
Well done, I really need to do a better plasma on the oric !

Yes, I use custom YM player for constant CPU time...
And the plasma is all hardware :)
Good luck for doing the same thing on Oric ! :D

Woooww!! Simply amazing ... the best CPC demo I discovered this year :o)
Impressive stuff. Especially the warped logo at the end, that's pretty much an Amiga level effect, how you did that on a 4MHz Z80 ... !
Great job Ramlaid & Beb !!!
Rules!
Nice.
I must get my drive belt fixed :)

ramlaid: could you explain a bit your YM replay technique ? I guess it's a bit like how we play a chip in ~1 scanline on ST, and you have to 'waste' some NOPs to compensate the time gained by not updating the registers that don't need to.

For YM Replay...
In fact, I use my own tool for compress (LZW algorthim) the raw data of YM. Each YM register is compressed in a stream and uncompressed at runtime... Then I just need to send data to YM chip.
After, I needed to stabilize uncompress and playing routine... Using 'waste' NOPS to compensate no updated register but also for stable uncompress routine...
For end part, I use the same technics as in MadRam's Bisbilles part in
CrocoChannel
Some nice generated code :)
Pleased that you like it :)

FINALLY managed to watch this demo. WinAPE is so crap... "insert disk" -> CRASH! "turn sound on" -> CRASH! "change any setting" -> CRASH!
I had to edit the ini file manually, and after 3 attempts to just run the emulator I had the demo running with sound. *sigh*
Anyway, the demo rules ;)

Awesome for CPC!
now i know what a cpc is made of ! and i can say that this demo rulez!!
this is extremly cool :D
Cross developpement is a pity...
... Arkos way of life :)
It was a pleasure to work on this demo.
Thanx Ramlaid.

Coolness.
Rulez-mark, definately. Very nice "per line" effects and gfx running at full framerate.
screenshot looks great. how do I run it under windows?
ummm.. sorry. I should've read back.
did I screw something up or is it really a game and not a demo?

well, aren't you goddamn awesome?
WTF!?! I did not know about this demo! Music is converted from the hidden part of our Virtual Escape! Thanks for giving the full credits and nice YM replay, one can hardly hear the difference with the original (except for the slight SID effect) ;)
How did you convert that SID voice emulation by the way?
Excellent little demo again Arkos, congrats.

PLASMA ROCKS !
Waw ! one of the best CPC demos imho... and the music conversion is very nice indeed !
dans ton cul?
Wow, a CPC demo as a CDC!
Very impressive demo.Colours rules!
Wow! Those are some nice looking FX alright.
Keops: the "sid"-effect heard at the start is probably a thing mad max and the guys did in some songs before the real sid-effect was invented. Two channels with a very small start-offset difference. The "sidish" thing further into the demo is a buzzereffect at high pitch. Anyway, that's what it sounds like :)

Nice one. Havent seen much on the Amstrad before....gotta check out more Amstrad stuff now :)
Evil: I was actually refering to Megatizer's SidVoice that Jedi used in Virtual Escape's tunes but I realized that only the intro tune had a SID voice, the hidden part one (used here) probably did not have any (it's too old, I can't remember for sure)
CPC rocks!! :)
It was my "best effects" favorite in 2005.
winape emulator is kinda funny... the emulated machine comes up with press f1 for basic, I press f1, then the help window comes up for the emulator... could it be a bit more user friendly than that?
seconldy how to skip the first part ? I almost thumbed it down for having only one effect.

i enjoyed it alot..
Oswald: Press num lock and try 1 on the numeric keyboard, the F-keys is a matter of the machine keyboard not the emulator which uses the PC F-keys for the settings, options, etc and maps the numeric keyboard to the CPC keys (in the CPC keyboard, they were upon the same place). Actually I had a hard time with winape32 when I tried to use it from a laptop where the numeric keyboards where somewhere else because the stupid laptops doesn't have the usual numeric pad ;P
About the parts, this is mostly an intro not a multipart demo. You won't see many of these on the CPC yet. Unfortunatelly the coder manage us to wait for the second part. Press F6 to go to emulator settings and choose 1000% emulation speed to move fast to the last part.

nice...
Virtual Escape Hidden part music has no SID effect !
You can found SID effect on CPC in Backtro second part (hi Overflow !).
DTC is just a small contribution from Beb & I to CPC Scene :), 2 parts only ! (and please, see it on real CPC if you can !).
Thanks for "Coup de coeur" !

Secret part? Where is it? (I don't remember the Virtual Escape music)
Ramlaid: indeed, my mistake, this one was the only tune without SID effect in the Virtual Escape, it's so old I forgot about it ;)
DTC rules anyway!

Optimus: If you're talking about VE, check the comments, it's all explained, you once asked about it concerning the cylinder on the screenshot (press ESCAPE during the boot)
Oh, for a moment I thought you were talking about a possible hidden part in this prod. I think I've seen the other on one VE.
really nice
Quite nice!
Fun for HOURS ;-)
cool gfx
WOW !
Which we were able to do that at the early 90`s !
Maybe someone still remember us on CPC...
Our Group was GCS! the known members were Elmsoft, BSC and me DJH :-) !

A totally stunning production.
Hell yes! Fry the CRTC!
It’s the first CPC Demo I have seen and I am really impressed by what it possible. Since I only had a GT 65 green monitor I loved to see the all nice color’s in the emulation. It's great!
où ça? :)
Very nice
Very nice
It's a shame to devastate a so wonderful logo ;) Ramlaid and Beb, I give you my thumb for... DTC (?!)

This demo is a very good example of what is possible on the CPC.
Flashouille Rulez !

Is this running at full framerate on a real cpc ?
@hitchhikr: Yes sir! The mainpart is! (the big warped-logo at the end which is 2 frames).
Good.
My jaw dropped! Magnificent effects, wonderful music... I did not even dream to see such a thing on a CPC.
HarryPotter: the music comes from here though: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=109
It was our hidden part tune ;)

HarryPotter: where does you avatar come from ?
p01: I think it's the strawberry monster from fruity frank. But I don't remember it was so nicely pixelated. Is the gfx from the CPC version or another platform?
Indeed Optimus :) I was wondering too, sweet avatar
I didn't knew but there's a MSX version: http://www.generation-msx.nl/msxdb/softwareinfo/3165

:D I was almost sure it was Fruity Frank, but it's been so many years since I played it
Indeed. I guess I couldn't remember those nice colors of the strawberry because I was playing it in a green monitor in the past.
Oh the avatar is also a bit stretched on X because of the wide pixel, that's why :)
Indeed it is the srawberry in the CPC version of Fruity Frank (played this one a lot on CPC!)... Stretched and all as you wrote. How funny to see a discussion about Fruity Frank's strawberry more than twenty years later!!
Impressive, I missed this demo... really nice, I must try it on real CPC ...
btw any tools on WIN32 to "write" .dsk on 3.5" disk ? ... i used dsktools on linux and an old tool on my amiga ... but I never found something working on WIN32/DOS ...

You can try CPCDiskXP to write the DSK image back to a 3.5" floppy.
thx Grimmy for the info.
La claque !!!
A good showoff if you have a CPC and want to show something to your friends!
I don't know a lot about what is possible on a CPC, but this looks pretty neat =)
Was showed at Demo In Paris by Longshot ! A great one, very impressive !
Don't be mistaken by the big number of thumbs up, this is not the best demo on CPC... but "just" a really good one !
c0l0rizatr0n
cool effects
:D
Ouch ! Completely impressive !
I like it and the music was awesome
instant thumb.
cool!
GREAT stuff!!! Outstanding! Cool tune too! MORREEEEE (gimme)!!!
Impressive.
Pure excellence in plasmas.

Very nice.
What! I forget to thumb it up ?!
Nice demo!
Too sad it is the latest prod of Ramlaid :(

Great music, pretty (albeit few) visuals, this demo's worth its salt.
great visuals & tune <3
okish
First part/plasma: excellence in colors (much more than 27 are seen) and code (constant-time all over).
Huch, no thumb from me, how is this possible? ;-)
This fuckin RULEZ!
This fuckin RULEZ!
Déjà la maitrise de la palette.
still beautifull in 2018
Nice little prod!
nice one
What everyone else giving a thump-up said.. also merry x-mas everyone!
Excellent stuff.
