Great ambient. I love it ;)
How come this didn't win?
How come this didn't win?
Should have won.. but nevermind, great demo nevertheless..
very nice graphics! however, demo itself is quite boring. nice to see comeback though
great! should have been 1st place!
thx for releasing it at our party, guys!

Nice. but boring.
Nice render, and works fine on my old machine :)
Great comeback! I think this is my all-time fav. Now where's the vidcap?
Very pretty but kinda dull. And features scary radioactive nightmare girl at the end.
good but not great. i hope your next demo wont take this long :)
moral winner. nice 3d. camera paths could be better, sound track too. 2dlayers on top could be MUCH better. design is a bit inconsistent in some places (typography-wise specially).
thumbs up tho.
thumbs up tho.
One of my old favourites are back!!!!!!!! \o/
Great graphics as always and a cool creepy style. Nothing mindblowing, but overall it was really nice chill out demo!

The French style of demomaking... a 3d flyby. I got to give props for the modelling, but it doesn't speak to me at all.
Liked it.
Nice to see you are still active!!!
With no more blood and nearly no violence...
Although there is not that much going on, this sure looks awesome! Great modelling (only the goth girl in the end looks a bit low poly) and surprisingly relaxing music that I instantly loved!
This, of course, should have won... anyhow: I'm really glad to see that you are back! Great prod!

mega
visually quite appealing!
like it ... good sync and nice DoF effects ...
nice 3d, but the demo feels somewhat static and doesn't have any coded effects except for some good looking shaders
Nice ambience and modeling although not so supreme quality. Still worth a thumb.
so empty -(
should really have won... Great Demoshow... and i really love the Soundtrack... nice athmospheric one :)
Nice comeback
Should have won at Evoke. Very nice 3D.
The true winner demo from Evoke. Amazing artwork as usual and great sync. Still waiting for a Shad 3, featuring this shocking "The Ring" girl again.
a bit empty but some nice scenes. thumb for being back :)
First, thumb up anyway for the effort and the come back. It takes courage :)
Really mixed feelings about that one tho. First, it's 30Mb and it's quite insane compared to the content.
The scene are kinda statics with unconsistent transitions. Moreover I really feel that the upfront layers look very ugly compared to the background scenes IMHO.
The music is really good.
I would have been worth working more on it but we all know how it goes ;)
It should have won the compo though.

excellent stuff, perfectly polished.
a weak thumb up for the effort and the come back...
Nice design, okay-ish music. Extra point for greeting Demoscene-TV.
Solid production.
Solid production.
for me this prod is the WINNER
Raw Confessions from them was much better, this was so boring and predictable. A piggie from me.
ok, so that's cocoon's version of the "you were better when you did variform" comment?
already gave my feedback.. still it rulez0r ;)
Very beautifully rendered and nice laid back music. Minor setbacks though: a) the relatively low-poly- and low-animation-ness of the characters and b) the emotional disconnection between the visuals and music starting from the city part.
Nice and well done. Should have won.
I expected this one to go first place. World is full of surprises.
I agree this is not the best Cocoon demo, but I would like to stress the fact that this is A COCOON DEMO. Whee. :)
should have won.
Not the best Cocoon demo indeed, those 2D layers were quite ugly, they don't fit at all with the rest of the demo and kind of ruined the nice 3D scenes.
Nice modeling, sync, and music. Glad to see french people back in business ;)

Incredible amount of detail.
Should have one.

rulerrprod! I enjoyed It a lod. Very nice syncing and music was very strong
Great prod Cocoon ! :) Guys, I'm so glad you're back in business. I don't share your dark inspiration but I appreciate your work anyway. Great modeling, good atmosphere, nice music, great pace. The French Scene is back to stay. Go Cocoon, go !
should have won the compo
should have won
neat. the envmapped (or whatever) lady was kinda lame, but the graphics was fucking awesome for the rest of the demo, so the thumb is required anyway!
this is not raw confessions 2!
but it's ok.
but it's ok.
nice one!!
i like....i like.!!! so here´s a Thumb from cOcOOn to cocoon.!! ;)
definitely should be the 1st
you did some dirty things in my memory :(
nice!!!!!
Thanks for the comments : the reason of the 3 years of silence is the day to day life.
Anyway things just take longer than in the past that 's all. Honnestly we were bit pissed at the end of the party. Maybe we wil include a scroll text and a mario bros in our next productions, it seems to work fine.
Thnaks to the organizers for their understanding.
To the french scenes : let's all go to BP 08. Things gives us more than 7 month to produce something. Let show we are not that dead.

I agree with a lot of the comments.. it's pretty much been said :)
Aside from that.. I liked the spinning ball thing behind the greetings. Also, I appreciated that you sometimes used the DoF in a subtle way instead of always making it really strong (as people often tend to do).

-Nytrik
... or exchange the naked woman and the goth girl for the Great Giana Sisters ;)
Strange enough, putting naked women in a demo work perfectly as a crowd pleaser for many, many years. So I assume the scene has matured! Just kidding...

Just booya.
perfect.
a bit boring but looks very nice.
Does look nice.
great stuff, enjoying ride (except the childish end picture)
Allez la France ! Awesome visuals & modeling & stuff ! French scene is not quite dead yet indeed ! Should have won.
good work
i really love the 3d and the mood
nytrik> who did what ? code ? 3d ? 2d ? music ?

this sucks! no oldschool references, no cheap entertainment or crowdpleasing, it doesnt keep my goldfish-like attentionspan occupied, there's no nice code in it like fractals nicked from paul bourke (great looking, modern 3d engines, 3dscene handling and rendering techniques dont count as good code!), it's too big (graphics in demos should just be cubes or generated shit! then it could be 64k!), doesnt run on my c64.. it's clearly shit!
real comment: of course it should have won. graphics, music and engine are all class. hope you dont give up after this - good work is still respected.

willbe did the music and the 2d layers.. for the rest we paid 25 idian programers and 78 moldavian graphician to work for us.
Solid! Should have ranked higher.
I second smash. Everything but 8-bit coding is pointless!
nice (even if it doesn't feature any naked lowpoly chick)
forgot the thumb :)
Not the best demo ever, but it should have won the compo for sure.
the french masters are back!!!
fuckings to evoke lamevoters!
hi quality production, among top3 in 2007 imho.
insane amount of work: the code, shaders and gfx are massive.
all ignorants should stfu.
cocoon rules!

I don't know. The demoflow seems to lead nowhere, the model of the girl is too low poly.
Piggy.
Piggy.
a bit old fashioned scenes but it all looks really good. hope peoples comments and thumbs here will make up for the 2nd place
far from the previous cocoon quality. boring nowadays 3D scenes with average music.
great music, rulez !
nice comeback
i think this was the overall best demo in the compo, but it has no real climax, which makes it kind of hard to remember after a while. still, here goes my thumb!
beautiful.
That really was a very pleasant experience. Nice visuals, nice music. Best of the compo imo.
nytrik > did i write something wrong ?
is there some unique resolution you should run this in? all the overlays are annoyingly aliased in 640x480 with 4x multisample.
Should have won.
Great graphics and good music. Very nice to see Cocoon back making demos.
if the music was just a tad more aggressive, this would rock pretty hard. :) the 3d is really goodlooking!
Possibly the best thing to come out of this demo is that Nytrik is pissed off about the rankings and may lay us all out for slaughter at BP.
Possibly I should allow Nytrik to have fun instead of demanding blood.

Looks like pretty much recycling... some scenes are comaish, others shadish... The music doesn't really fit at places... otherwise - well done!
Well-rounded literally. I like icons and the message.
COCOON!
Looks nice and has a nice flow. I also think the music could have been a bit more aggressive.

Ruled!
solid code, great looks; and the plane jesus was a wow. (what will you get for that from the religious people here...?)
should have been second place...
my personal favourite, watched these guys put so much work into this at the party place right until the last minute. anyway, that aside its a great demo and i wish you a productive and happy future :)
well ... i really want to like this one as anyone else does. just for the fact that it has 'cocoon' written on it. unfortunately i can't, really. must be that dusty, oldfashioned aftertaste, i can't get over with. except for both the 2d intro and end pic: they are top-notch. but a robot holding a nude girl in its palm? please ...
i agree with oxb
Some scenes had that vibe of being Coma on the dancefloor without the banding glitches and a new colourscheme, *and* it tickled me in the good way. I disliked the way the overlays almost constantly looked like nearest neighbour scaling gone wild. If that could be fixed, the demo would be a pretty nice piece of work all over.
best from evoke 2007, till now. tough the music was also not so good, but it fitted well.

When i see how some french sceners are, i just don't want to do that nor to show anything off to someone. What the heck is that thing about gathering french sceners when almost 70% of them are just arrogant fucks.
Apart from that, this demo beats the shit out of my ass. Clearly a winner.
cocoon is back.
great music and model, texture.
and dof fx was cool.
I think that this demo should become 1st.

Irokos : 70% de 9 ca tombe pas juste ... on se prendra une biere comme à la BP 06 et tu me parles de tout ça
Nice.
My first on this party
The 3d artwork was good and it had a nice depth of view. The sound was ok but finished too early? (only watched the video). Because it was overall too boring and because I didn't like the overlays too much, i can't say it rulez (unfortunately).
A fine demo. The second half is much better than the first. Not the best from cocoon (raw confession would be that) but still miles away from the demo that came second (that one with the tetris or something..)

haha! it's pretty clear that you belong to the majority then :)
A good, old-fashioned 3d fly-by.
Welcome back.
heh the arrogant french group is back ;)
this is such a POWERDEMO, the scenes, the 3d, the mood, the music, all kick asses! and especially the greetz scene, just mine-blowing :)
this is Coma on the dancefloor 2, and this is cool \o/

Love the sync!
Solid!
Quality stuff!
very nice, i like the dirty textures and the little girl that reminds me to kill the "little sisters" in bioshock :P
Nice demo
A little better music, and a story would have made it better.
visually: really nice 3d showoff
but no story/climax/whatsoever
but no story/climax/whatsoever
great! Only problem is: Somehow I dont remember anything from watching the stream. That may have been a problem with the voting.
very nice!
this one is really cool I think.
i think the "little girl" is _very_ out of place and would do a lot better in another demo. Same thing with the music. (in a yet another demo, not in the one with the girl). Has a lot of nice things as well though.
nice to see cocoon alive.
ok
This has so much nice (3D) graphics that it's really painful to see how many things are just wrong. nothing really seems to fit, the soundtrack doesn't fit at all with anything in the demo, neither the graphics nor direction. the jaggy aliased overlays look horrible and the whole demo is just a huge mess. Tho it hurts, I still have to thumb up for the nice graphics.
Nice style
awesome graphics
i second raimo
Great visuals, but the music lets the demo down - a bit more upbeat, please.
Great
It was OK. Music wasn't that great though.
coolness. great 3d. have to watch it again
nice, nothing special to me
Nice...
the best demo since World War 2! Ive allready thumbed it up! But I just wanted to give it one extra comment! Peace!
did I mention the next one will be way better... ?
great 3d and style, particularly the endpicture. More! More!
too many 2d stuff distracting...
but very nice indeed.
but very nice indeed.
Ok. Not really my style though, and very slow. Found it a bit messy.
Esp annoying that overlay scrollers are running at the same slow framerate as the effects (I miss Amiga). Very noticeable that effects freeze just before the scene changes.

very good and should have won imho ...
nice demo with some nice scene. It misses only a little more animations and coherency between scenes
Great music that doesn't really end fitting. Great 3D that doesn't tell me anything. Horrible, horrible overlays rendering. Incoherent design. I'd give a thumb up for the Cocoon comeback alone, but... guys, you can do WAY better!
salut u2 !
alors a quand ta nouvelle demo ?
alors a quand ta nouvelle demo ?
Looks really great, but the music felt somehow weak. Still a well deserved thumb.
Already got my vote and now my thumb. I liked this one way more than the demo that won.
Not bad, but I don't really want to look at pipes for so long, they get boring fast. The last 30 seconds or so was pretty good. Pig overall.
cocoon! thumb up! great demo with awesome graphics.
forgot to thumb
Miles and yards better than the Kakiarts retro-bag, but doesn't hit the right buttons for me. Where as Coma (on the dancefloor) was mostly pure excellence, this one seems incoherent - different scenes put together and music that rocks on its own but doesn't really fit with the 3d. Perhaps the graphics and soundtrack were made separated, resulting into this?
Nevertheless thumbs up for the best demo from Evoke (albeit I haven't seen the FR one yet :).

didn't see the end, my finger pushed the esc button. damn fingers...
the font/overlays fucked it up. music is a bit slow, but ok. rest is good --> piggy.
What KB wrote. And very nice to meet you once again on a party almost 10 years after we saw each others for the first time. ;-)
Mais ouais !
thumb up for the driving tune, which makes it different! also for very acceptable visuals and style!
Tehnically awesome. Some great 3D objects and ripping greetz section. It would have got my party vote :-)
Yes
polished
great work in the sound department - thumb up for the music alone. i also ike the direction of the scenes. the only thing i don't understand - why the hell did you show that robot holding a nude girl in its palm!?
hidden reasons behind the robot thingy :
- I had a robot i never used
- I had a naked girl i never used
- Naked girl are crowd pleasing
- robots are cool
- The skinning for the girl was fucked up
- The girl's hands are busy hidding things

+ effort
- meh
- meh
nice
Love it
nice
a good prod. I liked the direction otherwise, but sometimes it's a bit confusing. I liked the models in the end.
I liked it, specially some 3D models!!!
very good
- Didn't like the music at all
- 3d-flyby boring after a while
It felt technical so-so. I mean, it was no wow-factor, just "ok, nice"-factor
+ Very good looking scenes (models, colors and so on)
+ It felt polished, no lose ends and very clean.
Result, piggy.

nice lighting
i like the final 15 seconds... the rest... average...
nice to see another cocoon release. It didn't shake the walls but it was a nice demo and hopefully just a starter for more.
ah yes: we want shad 3!
ah yes: we want shad 3!
w0ot ... i totally like it!
oh yeah thats right, now i remember why i stick around.
not my fave cocoon prod but i enjoyed it a lot. :) good work guys!
music, text font, city 3D
what zomb said
and i must say, that somehow i managed to really enjoy it after rewatching on a big screen at maximum resolution. watching it on a usual pc monitor was soooo boring and about nothing.
Nice gfx
very stylish! would've been a worthy winner too!
and i totally dig the in your face sync (atleast of the 2d stuff)

Great ... but why ain't no credits ??
Well polished demo
Fantastic demo
too much distracting 2D stuff but great anyway
very well done. Excellent 3d. Loads of effort is obvious.
took me into oblivion!
Good, but not great
I didn't really like the visuals as much as the soundtrack (which kicks ass). Still, thumb up.
.
Oh, this one was just golden.
that is some super modeling. great look. great everything.
ah. evoke. it's been a while...
ah. evoke. it's been a while...

excellent demo. i especially like the stuff from the city in the sky scene on.
on a sidenote i don't understand my first comment anymore :)

Haha yeah, re-reading old comments is kinda funny sometimes.
Great modeling! Underrated :3
A bit confusing direction, and the white blinking is annoying, so a weak thumb up for the rest.
good visuals, a bit eclectic though
This one is for guille. You are still the same (even more perfectionist :) ) and you get style (this also applies to the other cocoon members).
After rewatching I must reconsider my opinion, this is good and solid demo, even for nawaday (2012) standards.
The usual Cocoon style we are all loving years after years :)
wow, this is great!
Very "random", very Cocoon. But it works most of the time. The editing doesn't make any sense but the scene compositions and some individual shots are excellent.
Love the sync, the music, that style - and that endscreen <3
Music, sync, great graphics. I like that.
