strange. . . . . ?

I'll refrain from commenting for now - 3 fps is hardly a basis of opinion :/
wow! toping ballet dancer with much more creepy atmosphere and a sensible plot.
A smoking mechanical spider ?
Demo is a bit short and where is the music
those speechsynth didnt quite let it all work like in the ballet dancer. In anyway respect for making this weird demo ;) Thump!

the soundtrack and the atmosphere didnt do it for me
a bit to monotome for my tast maybe, and i usually like such stuff, i would like to explore more in this land where your demos are in.. go behind those pillars.
Amazing :)
ballet dancer with spiders.. except this isnt half as exciting as ballet dancer was
fucking weird... very cool looking! but as buzzie said, it's too monotone and it could use some more events/pace
thumbs for the visuals but superboring demo!
man, this is freaky
that poor spider has fucked up legs! good demo though
There is not a word, and either it is good.
This is weird and probably good, but did not ring anything in me.
doesn´t work for me... *oink*
Checking this out could help making things clearer.
Follows the mfx pattern.
rules
Sure it looks great and is kinda creepy, but it's just recycled and it goes nowhere.
I didn't like this one much.

yep
neat
so-so

...ballet dancer makeover? I like the explosion at the beggining.
Interesting.
Will make up my mind later.
Until the for the 3fps people: video (xvid,mp3) (might take a while until the mirrors have it, use ftp1 if it doesn't work)

nice visuals but too boring.
great and just the right duration to not become boring
this is one of the mind-blowing experiences
big weird demish, mfxish, impressive music, real promising prod of demoscene.
also pretty screenshot.
The first minute or so is brilliant but afterwards it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Usual quality graphics and sound from mfx, though the latter didn't really appeal to me musically.
it looks furry but that's about it.
you are very mfx
thanks for the vid kb - but i guess being in motion didnt add anything to it :/
no tension, no climax, no flow, ... hell, no blood :(

at first i thought that it would be a cheap copypaste of ballet dancer but, damn, the atmosphere was just so intensive that it truly left me wordless.
hmm.
I kept wishing for the little crippers to finally manage to get up. But sadly, they couldn't shed their broken heritage.
Though I must admit, during the whole first half I was wishing for mutation in their genetics to kick in.

critters even.
Excellent, my favourite from the compo.
respekt ... i'm afraid what they bring next to our homes, first there was ballet dancers, now golems ;)
interesting for what it could have been rather than what it actually ended up as - if the critters had been able to work out how to get up it would have been something really interesting.
as it is, well.. it's still pretty cool.

Graphics look pretty cool, but there's nothing going on and the sound is bloody awful. Piggy.
fine piece of art.
strange
The movement of the critters was a bit disappointing, but goddamn, it all looks so good.
![[self-ban]](https://content.pouet.net/avatars/intro.gif)
Most original concept!
Balet dancer 2?
Props for rehashing Ballet Dancer.
well... this could have ruled... but....
gfx side it was not bad, the "sound" ruined it, imho.
MFX demos are made for alien minds entertainment!
ballet dancer 2: the boring edition
what gargaj said
I love it
not as disturbing as ballet dancer.
still the fabulous mfx touch with visual/sound noise/distortion.

igrenc
The music was superb. Visually, it was a little more varied than the ballet dance, which is a good thing. The creatures could have moved a little more, IMO.
intensely weird
great!
||||nice
nice :D
Looks good, nice sfx, but it's not enough action to keep me interested all the way through.
Not bad though, just not my cup of tea.

mechanical hell...
so-so
hahahha.. this is my kind of demo. I'm always up for some unrecognizable unhuman lifeforms.. All made of legs! Julia Roberts go home.
I agree with Gargiel. It doesn't move, it doesn't go somewhere. Other than that, excellent graphics as usual. But I wonder why it is so slow..
yet another completely different production.
yee!
Ran unusually speedy for this machine. Otherwise, interesting.. but lacked something. Well worthy of the thumb for the experimentation and the usual quality.
well a little bit boring, but it looked great and worked better than the ballet dancer so pig.
this gave me goose bumps during the compo, perhaps the most interesting thing seen on big screen during the party. no flow? perhaps, but the creepy mood compensates the shortages in other areas. some may call it recycling, i just dig the fact there finally exists "another ballet dancer" for my taste as well.
looks nice and especially cool cameras, but feels like this another ballet dancer after all :)
Looks fascinating, but that's all.
For the mood. Still I miss some more blips/beats and synching...
Very cool sound-scene and effects. Like to watch is a few times, but after that the shine propably fades away.

strange? sorry but this time its a thumb down ...
shame on you :p
shame on you :p
And now, for something completely different...
looks amazing, great ideas and code, but compared to aether or deities it's no way near as interesing
everything seems like they're rendered to 256x256 even if i select 1280x720, fix?
strange, but very interesting athmosphere.. reminded me somehow alot of the athmosphere in neon genesis evangelion..
but it didn't really remindet me of the ballet dancer... this demo is imho much more intense.

this was boring, sorry :(
Pretty
Great atmosphere, but speed is an issue...
nice work, reminds me somehow a bit of casshern. i like that. good athmo.thumb.
p.s.: the reflections look somehow wrong

a no sound option would've been nice... boring but the smoke and some of the other stuff is nice...
it looks totally weird, I like it
the movemt is indeed very interesting
oooh! this was very cool indeed. Loved the "physics" effect applied to the bones, and the atmostphere and visuals were quite bedazzling.
(runs fluid on my system)
this one gave me the creeps. the "golems" appear to be inhumanly organic and alive.
as usual: great use of color- and light-effects!
the scenario reminded me on the "falling ash" in silent hill (the movie), which is actually quiet beautiful.
also, thumbs up for doing something "strange" and off-mainstream.

it's ok
it's allright !

Boring, but nice to look at. Piggy.
hä? when does the demo begin?
No music = good, it's time for something else. Visuals are very ambient as well. Very good.
The music fits the action on screen very well.
I was execting something to happen, but it was interesting. Nice movement of objects.
First MFX demo I like since "dose" - so, second mfx_??? entry in my hard disk.
The framerate is not good (what f. filters do you use?) but the rendering is quite nice.

Good lord.
There are plenty of groups who can continue to make the fun demos with the fun party music to do the fun dance to and fun fun fun fun fun...
BUT YOU NEED TO KEEP DOING THIS
Let the other groups take care of the other kinds of demos.
So very beautiful...

great job on everything here, the audiovisual teamwork really paid off again. that's the 3rd mfx demo from this year that instantly made it to my top10, and the year isn't over yet.
also: i want that dvd.

i wish i could watch it on big screen! :)
boring in a 'we saw this last year at stream' kinda way... but the soundtrack is good. pig
this is absolutely great!
I liked it. Can get boring on late nights, but better than the winning demo.
meaningless, boring
Great visuals and sound create a very nice atmosphere.. a bit too short though
Genius.
cool
after much consideration I decide to give this a thumbs up although it's utterly boring and as little effort as some thoughtful manual creature design could have helped without diluting the concept too much.
Still:
+ 1in10's f*d up soundscapes are getting better and better
+ apart from the shadow glitches and the trademark uncle-x "too few bits everywhere" syndrome it's just beatufully rendered
+ mad props for simply trying out stuff.

Creepy atmosphere and well done. It does not feature any of the things I personally would look for in a demo-demo, but as a visual statement it works ok.
ok
dreadful
Not quite bad enough for a thumb-down, but clearly the smallest star in the aether galaxy.
what tomæs said.
aphex twin style:) great
Where's the 1280x1024 5:4 screenmode? 17"/19" TFT monitors are common...
its not art this time...but bravery should be rewarded. kepp it up mfx.
it works 100% for me. lovely!
is ok for a one-effect demo, but all I can see is an artificial intelligence algorithm that is not working properly. I would have liked it if the thing actually got up and walked, but I guess that was not the point of this thing.
Good idea, but a bit repetitive.
stylish at least
the golems didn't rise, but still great !!!! i like the style and the concept, tho it would have been cool to see an actual evolution
Nice idea, but I think that there is a lot of room for improvements in the objects performance (i don't mean speed) and story. Maybe surrounding the algorythm with something giving a sense to it could help.
doesn't even have real music
cool but became boring, piggy for the camera
Nice visuals anyway :)
Weird
*cough*
I'm glad Rob is Jarig is around to take the flak, but this bag of tricks was getting old since Ballet Dancer. Waste of a perfectly ok soundtrack if you ask me.

visually interesting, ambient, oppressing
but no real story behind this promising universe
but no real story behind this promising universe
yes, oppressing is the right word...same way as ballet dancer was...and I like them both :)
objects, palette are nice and it's technically high sophisticated, but it somehow is not suitable for a demo. Thus, no Mazal Tov, wipe off the א in אמת and
send them back to dust.
For what it's worth, it's better than the annoying Ballet Dancer.

Great atmosphere.

Well...erm
I love that visuals of yours as always, but the whole thing (mostly including the soundtrack) was a bit too experimental for me.
AND WATCHING THOSE POOR GUYS HAVING A HARD TIME TO SET ON THEIR MANY LEGS IS SO ... FRUSTRATING !
But I guess it deserves a thumb up nevertheless.

stand up, little buddy! do some ballet!
Interesting ... soundtrack amazing ... you could sell to konami for the next Silent Hill :D
wtf!
experimental. visuals good. sound "track" scary. a bit boring. pig.
super cool, can't believe i hadn't watched this one before. nice work!!
deformed unidentifiable monstrosities. terrifying! :)
Nah, even a good concept wears out.
I like it.
guys, please, oh, please make it 1920x1080
or at least 1680x1050
or at least 1680x1050
yeah
I really like this demo!
great stuff. underrated, as usual :)
intriguing
alive
Atmosphere rocks once again.
For the strange experience.
woohoo
I changed my mind - it is art. The soundscape makes it for me.
creepy and great atmosphere.
awesome!
Kewl kewl kewl!
My favourite from mfx's demos.

These creatures are agonizing to make sense, but fail every time. Very cruel and disturbing experiment.
Impressive and weird, but very atmospheric show
w00t! I just discovered this gem today!
/ME !LIKES
/ME !LIKES
too long
Moar!
One of my favs! Like the style and concept. Poor golems!! :D
Rising from the ashes
Oh yes! Funny that some people are not keen, because it has no "dramatic final conclusion". When I watch this, I imagine it to be just some leaked footage of a failed top secret Japanese robotics experiment. Needs no conclusion:)
can't quite match the ballet dancer, but still damned good!
Karvaiset jalat tanssivat mutteivät pääse ikinä ylös kunnolla tai liikkeelle. Ball less dancer. :D
