Best 64k linux demo so far :)
rulez added on the 2008-09-16 21:55:18 by Deltafire 
about time!
Win32 and/or video port plz!
Video is to follow. We still need to fix a couple of bugs. Hang in there pig-posters! Windows version is planned, but don't hold your breath.
WORD! Great first time 64k, the music is nice, the visuals great.. just need to concentrate on the content/transtions for next one! Cant wait to see what you guys get done for breakpoint ;)
Cool stuff! Very well done.
Longest 64k ever. I fell asleep during the compo and it was still going in the morning!
More seriously, let me know if it's different from the sunday morning verison and I'll grab the video. Also, mac port!

Thumb stuck up! Needs a bugfix version with greets to BDSE, though.
Very awesome stuff!
video!
Sorry to sound corny, but
ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
ps. please don't port this to windows, it's not like any of windows prods gets ported :/ (if you want to call me selfish, look at yourself)

GIMMEHH VIDZ1!
What Deltafire said. Pr0ncoder !
Video or win32/OSX executable please.
Thumb up for the demo, double thumb up for being a new contender for the mostly-vacant 64k throne. (Assuming the follow-up takes less than 7 years to arrive, that is :-) )
Thanks for all great feedback. Video is on it's way and will probably be uploaded this evening. Win32 support coming in final version (if MeateoriK can port his synth) I would really like to do a OSX port. I will try to get hold of a person with an intel Mac in Gothenburg. Technically it shouldn't be any problems.
Very nice
Longest precalc I've ever witnessed followed by two seconds of music and a segfault. =D
looooong precalc, then only music (blackscreen, i had to kill X). But then, i do have an intel gma, so...
Still, thumbsup for releasing on linux :)

Temporary video link (640x480@30fps). HD version to follow shortly.

I love it, thumb up. More Linux Demos...
Watched the video, and the content/design/music is all very, very average. Would probably have been forgotten immediately if shown at a bigger compo, I'm afraid :(
Decent 64k intros on linux are quite rare, good work guys.
Bashoholics, now this. Shit. I seriously need to get something finished.
btw, what Gloom meant to say was "Release at the Gathering, you'll get crushed at Breakpoint, at the Gathering there won't be any competition so you'll win!"
a bit pointless, but nice graphics and big thumb for the OS! :)
linux finally managed to run poem to a horse!!!! but what keops said!
kinda feels like an early 2000 opengl 64k with specular bumpmaps, but at least it doesnt seem to be try much more than that :)
great stuff :)
a lots been said about the gfx, the music was atmospheric, i am looking forward to getting a VST of meaty's synth as it sounds superb (i played a tiny bit with it at the party)
puhlease can i have a windowz version? :D

quite nice, i like greetings part the most.
tho overall, i felt for it, no clue why tho, but i did :)

I'll probably port the back-end of the synth to windows, so we can run demos on windows, but porting the editor is less likely. I'll see what I can do. First need to sort out the crappy drums and the "too many parameters per instrument" issue.
Just bellow average scenes with uninteresting effects, somewhat ugly colors and no tempo, drive or style. I didn't care much for the music either, but its okay for a 64k. About fucking pigface
Really great intro! I look forward to future releases!
Longest loading screen ever (several minutes, what is an average linux box ? I have an athlon xp 2800+, 1.5GB, geforce 3, ubuntu) for a black screen with some music ?
My computer doesn't seem to be able to run it, so I should not thumb down, but I still do because of that too long loading.
Sorry.

Its not loading, its loading twice (at least). Decent first try, lovely synth and good engine proof of concept.
windows, linux, mac: all the same hardware, not an excuse
intro is not very exciting but not bad either
thumb up as encouragement to make a next (better) prod

MsK`: I'm pretty sure an Athlon XP and a GeForce 3 were part of an average linux box... 5 years ago :)
Kind of lame to thumb it down for long loading if you just have a (relatively) slow CPU.
As for me, I'll watch the video when I'm at home.

Not very interesting intro, but good to see the Linux scene "getting there" :)
nice!
By far the best thing to make its debut on linux, ever. It could use more content, but I like the music and the "old demo style" of just showing effects.
Great feeling.
Fairly average intro. But keep in there and do a ass kicking Linux intro.
Love it.
low on content and very appropriate title. solid, nevertheless. and finally some linuxtro to write home about. "hi mom! i've finally found some cool linux intro stuff .." hhmm, maybe not. ;)
nice!
ok intro.
awesome start :)
Extremely long loading here as well and about 1 fps thereafter... (GeForce6800GT)
Very nice! Loved the greetings part...
greetings part kewl ;)
pretty much: meeeh.
adoket
Black screen with music for me. Piggy.
When trying to run it in full screen all I got as a black screen. It worked in windowed mode, but the music kept disappearing and reappearing. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with an NVidia Mobile chip (Quadro NVS140).
Nice and solid first-time prod with a good synth and nice effects. The music could support the demo better. I didn't get the feeling that the audio was connected to the visuals. The style and colors of the different scenes felt somewhat inconsistent. Maybe decide on a global color scheme and add some transitions to make the demo feel less like a loose collection of effects. Other than that: Great job!

haha, i just realized the double-joke in the title :D
Wow, that took forever to load, music died half-way through, but great otherwise
loading time! @_@
but I like it :D

Cool, but your hypnoglow looks really bad :D
good work. But please don´t sleep now for another 8 years, but continue!
Ok, yes it runs - native - on linux - big plus point.
technically it's not bad, but it's so slow, for nothing... almost nothing - and what the hell did you precalc?!
a native half thumb up ;)

synth sounded also nice!
keep it up!!!!!

Very nice Linux 64k :)
As I get some glitches running it (synth bugs in the middle of intro and it runs quite slow with my 8600gt), I'm going to go with piggy. After looking video, it's a great effort though!
WINDOWS-PORT, PLEASE!
nice one
http://approximate.org/AboutFuckingTimeHD.avi was choppy between 1:10 and 1:40. How about the rest of you?
music is a calm masterpiece :)
quite awesome for linux, it runs very smoothly even on a virtual machine with crappy crappy drivers by vmware.
it really sucks to watchit grabbed to vid. sucking 250megs to wath an 64kb intro, bah... anyway, music really rocks here.
I can´t judge about this coz doesen´t motivated to test it on my linuxtop ;-) but the video is impressive. Not technical or so, i like this one as whole product and the sound is also very good and does match fine to the demo. respect, also respect doing this for linux.
Thanks for releasing the synth code -- hopefully more people will get into audio!
quite nice, i like it
its me or these white rectangles (and this scene in a more general way) just look exactly the same than in the popular demo???????? (when the disco guy is walking in the windy path...)
sweet
for the popular reference to bertha and jeremy the bear
barnaby, colargol, whatever
OK. Music was fitting, but it looked a bit unfinished.
First it ate up all my memory, and then it only showed a black screen with music :D
Then again, I only have a P4 2.6ghz, 1gb ram and a gf Ti4200 so I guess my box can't run it :)

very good work
more!
more!
Ok prod.
I give a thumb if you remove this hat that sound like its not from the music at all.

Awesome Demo and thank you for the source code for the synth it is much appreciated ;)
pretty but borring
nice one.
I liked it, some parts were quite pretty.
animality.
Visuals were good. Music was much better.
strawberry's forever!! :D
strawberries <3
ledberries yeah!
I love meaty's music! Both in here and in gaia machina are great tunes. Thumbs up for that!
Good linux prod!
slow but smooth and moody. i like it :)
