What can I say about this prod...
Good music, good effects, good code.
Worthy successor to Perfect Circle.

Thumbs up and respect

damn...

you are too good boys, that scene with white cubes is so beautifull...

amazing what is possible on the Amiga!
some Amiga-prods at ms2k2 can be compared with the pc-prods!

yay, this rocks, has a bunch of great scenes in it. i've made a divx of it, will upload it as soon as the server's back online.

The Amiga compo kicked this year, it's a long time ago that I saw so many impressive Amiga demos.
But I can't understand the *big* difference between this and the rest of the demos because there were at least 2 or other demos with the same quality level.

kalms/louie et. al. are capable of more imho but still...

crest, the big difference is that this runs on a "classic" motorola cpu's, even if 060 is only one where it's fast enough. almost all other amiga demos released at mekka need powerpc and that's like... uhmm... almost like doing a demo for pc. :)

a big hand to tbl! perfect circle was already great, but this does it even better. respect.

ps. rubberduck: you owe me a beer now. :)

the video.

kalms and rubberduck wasnt too happy with the result of this demo but i still think that this demo looks good. nice work guys.

just watched the video version without sound ( I'm @ work ) ... and WOW!

impressive!

I saw you working on this baby all night (like we did on our demo in Scarab ourselves) and I must say that I'm really impressed by the result. Nice and beautiful atmosphere. Louie: those textures simply rock! I am pleased to have you among the amiga-scene still ;) keep it up!

melw: Thanx, probably I forgot a notice like this from the big screen.
I hope, the video is not *to* big in size (no broadband access :( )

great scenes: while being varied in themes manages to form an homogenous work.. the music works very well, and the code serves the demo perfectly =)

yeah, this demo rules, TBL is still kicking ass!

This has really raised the bar in terms of 3d engines, but I was really disappointed in the design - or lack thereof.

TBL is a bunch of hardworking guys - and this prod is a result thereof! good work!

nice but sLLOOWW

please note that the mpeg-version of this intro was slow by some reason, the real demo was much smoother when i saw it on the bigscreen at mekka

thumb up - eventho the overwhealming arrogance of "oops - we did it again" at the price giving deserves a punch in the ass ;)
nevertheless, this demo rocks hard.

Punch me in the ass then if you dare, rp :D
Ore maby you can make a amiga 060 demo for next mekka?

PS: I love you all, hug hug .:)

wow, i love you so much guyes !!!!

watched it again, and well Little Nell is a little wonder, it looks "pro"

the textures and scenes are really cool ( except the hair of the girl >__< imho )

great job

robotriot: Thanks for the .avi file!

I guess developing for the Amiga must be quite a bit of fun due to the apparent amout of effort that went into the Mekka releases. An '060, eh? Nice. Wish I still had my PPC/060 A4000, but I sold it 15 months ago to get this PC thing.

I love the camera motions, nice scenes too... TBL still kicks ass.

Guys ! how do you make it on an amiga ?
It's sooooooo wonderful, amazing ... after all there are no words to describe ! This demo kicks ass ! ... This production is far far away of all crappy PC demo !
Only amiga makes it possible ! :) Amiga Rules !

maad!

yes sir, I liked it!

one of the greatest demos for the real scene amiga (060 + 68k).
looked awesome on the bigscreen, and still worth to watch it over and over again (unlike some pc prods from ms2002).

cool one, the design is a bit weird tho and it ends in a somewhat abrupt manner. for a die-hard pc dude like me 'perfect circle' had a little more wow-factor than 'nell'..
and I really don't understand why whoever added the screenie for this one took one from a single most unimpressive scene of this one (I mean, flat white cubes.. c'moo-on.. 8])

yo yo yo ....
This prod really KICKED MAJOR AZZ at mekka symposium this year! Great success for TBL (again!) and definitely deserved...

Although I would BADLY like to see some PC demos of 'em again! I remember 'CONTOUR' some years back which also showed that TBL has the _definite_ strenght to go strong on PC as well! (of course not to forget about those 64k intros like Jizz and Stash !!)

Great work guys...PLEASE think about a prod for PC again as well...the (pc) scene needs it as well! ;-)

Bye,
Weasel

This KICK ASS !!! Great scenes and really high quality gfx (the hawck ride part really takes advantage of good textures)!! Good work (again) TBL !

This absolutely rocked. Perfect design. Perfect code (i guess), perfect sound. Just perfect

Nice mood, specially at beginning, and very cool gfx, very much enjoyable overall indeed x')_

Luv the music!

Little Nell Bootleg.. :D

i really like the buildings in the beginning.

Everytime i run this demo, i think my 68060 and old poor AGA chipset will go up in flames. This is pushing 68k AGA to the limits. Personally, i would have loved to see more 2D in it but still a really great demo.

mmmmmm, tasty! Code for now, code PCs

bhead, look closer. They aren't flat white cubes. They're cubes with radiosity :)

they are texturemapped cubes with a nice texture!

bhead: The screenshot is from the single most beautiful scene in the demo=)

blame me, i made the shot ;) i also liked them, of course that's not real radiosity, only great textures :D

Good work!

But, please, in next TBL demo (if deadline makes it possible) improve a bit the design. Don't get me wrong, I mean things like good transitions between effets.
I know that, as always, there is no enough time to finnish the prods well before the deadline.
Good XM player. Have it finally all the fasttraker effets implemented or it is the same routine used before in Perfect Circle?

Respect to Trauma Child Genesis.

okay, cubes with radiosity they might be, but they're still pretty flat and rather white, dontchathink? 8))

at least they look quite aesthetic :)

oh my GOD... i can't belive... MIRACLE!!!!...
SIMPLY GREAT... a MUST of amiga history...

but is an AMIGA or PSX scene? :-D...

GREAT... really..

quite simply ..... rulez!

Too frigging slow on my 060... :(
NICE but I still prefer last year's Perfect Circle.

awesome piece ofcourse... romantic blockhouses are worth something alone, was living most of my life in one like this ;D

music is also closer to my side than one in Perfect Circle.. still i think thats always been the weakest part of TBL. my dreams come true when they change musician, how about Up Rough guys?

I love that part showing smooth-light-shaded
3d boxes ! The planar mapping is just
fucking nice arranged !

+ Nice tracked music...

wow!

saw the video lately (I was too sleepy at mekka :)), and yes, it rocks.

respect

this is a masterpiece! greet work guys!

Whoaaa... _GREAT_ stuff. TBL continues to amaze on the Amiga. :-)

really really great... beautiful too look at and perfect workmanship

Impressive for an Amiga. And Nell is cute :)

White cubes never looked so good before! :)

only AMIGA/TBL makes it possible !

ca OWNZ severe !

i know.. lets scroll a bitmap .. with 5fps and we will get applause like if it was realtime radiosity... yeah.. we are tbl.. lets move some sprites, they will think its some voxel trick fore sure anyways.. haha.. yeah.. lets rotate some cubes .. people will go nuts ... yeah..

;-)

(we had a hidden microphone on kalms;-)

nah, j/k .. good job from graphicians and such.. but its not really that breathtaking imo =)

haven't seen it yet, but it's Amiga right... thumb up!
(of cause i will watch it, very soon. )

fucking great stuff... and the tune.. wow, wow.. WOW!

OK but....

I like more "GBG" - for design + music
or "Rain" - for design

The music just killed me... I left it looping for hours.
This demo owns you.

One of my favorites ! Thumbs up

Music and atmosphere is great!

A killer one!

After being out of the scene for 5 years I took at "little Nell". The demo started very nice. Nice athmosphere, good quality of the scenes. Nice music. The rest was a typical classic effect engine demo. To bad it didn't finish in the same fashion as it started.

It's still a classic.

Impressive, a must see

Great demo! Far better than Perfect Circle, with no doubt, but not as good as Rain. The music is excellent!

some good parts, some unuseful parts
the start is promising, i like the style of this town
but the girl comes and kills the design
after that, it's a lack of coherency and interest

Oh god! I don't have to think twice what's my favourite Amiga demo now!

Effects are so fucking cool, graphics are so fucking cool and music are so fucking cool*5!!!!! Mmm... I don't remember when I have been such a pleasured from a demo.

Fucking rulez. Beautiful demo.

This is just great. I wish I would see that kind of style in PC-Demos. The music is great, the scenes rock. Respect to TBL!

really rocks. unfortunately i only can watch it as an avi with not-too-good quality...

Respect...let's see if TBL also hits the Compo at this years Breakpoint!

Perhaps one of the best demos ever (not considering platforms)! Atmosphere, style, killer code, killer tune!

Aye this is a 1st class production.
Sublime.

simply roxx

excellent design and music.. too bad it's a bit slow in some parts (56MHz 060)

The TCG music is lovely, the design is good and the effects are super.

Excellent soundtrack, good code!

I like the "bootleg" Louie mentioned. Low quality but gives some atmosphere of the party. There should be much more such videos like this one.

And a videoed version, no screener, good quality. ;)

very good

When they make a flyby/3drotator on a PC, it sucks. So why is it that all Amiga ones I've seen recently kick real ass?

yummy =)

i saw only the avi version... but i like it. music rulez!

The damn good Teque soundtrack to this demo is in my regular playlist =)
The demo starts off great, with decent design and an atmospheric mood. It gets a little off-track after that, but still one of the best Amiga demos out there imho =)

oh god yes. OH GOD YES

Louie r0x

would like to have words to describe and stuff.

A must see!

Little Nell, great work.

work of art

thumb up!

I'm not really into Amigas, so can't tell how impressive this is, but just the music alone is worth a thumb :)

Nell herself sucks, but the rest is well done & presented.

Great demo, but not as kool as some of the other TBL demos.

Interesting

nice texture work :)

TBL getting out lovable things from the Amiga...

Wow! Respect!

Once again Scandinavia`s pride, The Black Lotus, show us in which aspects they`re perfect: In all spheres of design! They own fantastic 3d-modelers and 2d-graphicians, nobody can disregard the fact that most of them have their jobs in the game industry!

Everything looks pretty professional and speaks a language of its own. But judging the coded routines, nice ideas you`ve realised but a hint for users: Please don`t try to execute this demo on a slower machine than one equipped with a 68060! Kalms is of course able to do better but I have the impression that he became quite lazy since he`s so wellknown. Running this demo on a plain 030 makes you watching a slideshow as the number of shown frames per second is often around one, if not less... ;-) "Perfect Circle" was cooler in my humble opinion too, but "Little Nell" was also able to please my eyes `n ears! Again the Trauma Child Genesis duo has supplied a good soundtrack - what else to say? They have surely deserved to win the competition, but next year it could become closer if the Mekka^Symposium organizers still mix up the 68k with the PPC demos!! And the glorious name that they have worked hard for in the past years, that alone won`t be a guarantee to win once again!

I LOVE TBL.

Forever.

This is a masterpiece,obvious.
Thank you,TBL.

Brilliant atmo! This IS the shit we are all looking for!

Love this Piece of Art - Great Music :)

das teil rockt!!!

some things are cool, like birds and columns and decepticonlogos.
other parts of the design were a bit slow and lacking drama. so pig.

the mood!

fantastic soundtrack!

great music! tbl Q

TBL always means stunning graphics, awesome coding, and powerful music, this one is no exception.

Forgotten thumb.

breathtaking as usual.

The music is really kickass, and the rest is really nice too :)

Lots of content, impressive stuff !

Well... music is great, content is great too, except Nell's model.

beautiful and atmospheric

GIMME A NEW TBL AMIGA DEMO GOD DAMN IT KALMS.. :)

I love the lighteffects put on top of the effects. Impressive stuff as always.

It was supposed to win one of the Scene.org prices.

One of my favorite Uber-Amiga (A1260) demos, the cute Little Nell is :)

Still love.

takes me back

Love!

TBL.

rulz

Fabulous.

Solid from Tbl!

Incredible athmosphere.

A forgotten thumb!

Pretty good demo but I refuse to thumb this up since the girl model wasn't animated, huge flaw in my book.

Rulez!

Cool! :)

Very nice demo.

tune <3
atmosphere <3

The real comeback !

awesome stuff!!

It's Mekka Symp 2002, I'm at the party. I'm tired having had NO meaningful sleep since the start of the party, alternatively frozen or too hot. I'm not really appreciating the close proximity of my fellow human beings at that time.

And this demo brings me back to life.

The girl and the giant eagle. One of my top ten "OMFG!" moments when watching a demo for the first time.

Except for the strange "floating" girl, everything else is top-notch.

the girl looks a bit flat but good music and quite atmospheric demo.

Yeah, girl and bird are flatty. Otherwise neat.

Most of the scenes look really good, but some not that much, still it's very good hi-tec.

Beautiful!

Nice visuals!
