Took me 20 mins to upload this over a crappy edge connection. Adding OSX build hopefully tomorrow. (Current build is the party version)

can't get it to fullscreen properly on vista32, keeps minimizing and losing focus, great stuff tho in windowed mode
maybe add sdl at that time?
anyways, thumb if just for the greets section ;p

a little more color variation (i.e. white) wouldn't have hurt ... otherwise pretty decent.

Nicely done :) At first it looked a bit 2004 (the warped perspective didn't help) but I really got into this as it progressed. Greets were really cool and I must say, the ending with the fade and text was flawless :)

Too short.. But you can't go wrong using (only) my favourite colours in a demo..

Missing a bit of Air Combat (with UFO's) though..

Nintendo Virtual Boy, which is very cool.
The demo is quite short, but very impressive. TRON meets Virtual Boy.

Win archive updated with a fix for the shader xernobyl mentioned. If you find any issues, feel free to send the stdout.txt file to eforselv@gmail.com or post here. Looking at the OSX build later today :-)

Note that your gfx card need shader 3 support for this demo to work.

im always sceptical when it comes to nazi-style things since many people dont do it because they want to remember people about the bad things fascism can do but because they think nazi-style is cool.
however i like this prod's style and i havent seen any clichee-stuff so i give it a thumb.
good work.

i think the title might eventually occlude the prod itself, which would be a shame.

a very good demo in every aspect, but as i said at the party, i'd be really curious to see a version entirely without drums.

no wait. Aesthetic is really well produced and the demo is excellently composed. Do not confuse ideology with iconography.

Uploaded new version that should hopefully fix the ATI issues. It seems to only be an issue on ATI under windows.

Otherwise check the Youtube] version.

The archive is updated with new builds.
- Working OSX build (library mess fixed)
- New Win build that should hopefully work better with ATI cards.

If ATI users still have problems running the demo, we'll get that fixed as soon as we're back from vacation.

Took a while for the mac port, but it was worth it :D

Great atmosphere at the start.. I was kind of disappointed when that style was dropped for the beat + robots, but the rest was cool too. Pity it ended right after mentioning "destroy", I was looking forwards to some good explosions in that style!

Can't spot the nazi in this one. I was expecting something exciting after I read some of the comments saying that this was some sort of neo-nazi homage to the third reich.

But a nice demo.

Several 32-bit libraries are included in the Linux port, but sadly not:
libdirectfb-1.2.so.0
added on the 2010-09-24 14:47:45 by Int19h Int19h
libfusion-1.2.so.0 would be nice as well
added on the 2010-09-24 14:53:13 by Int19h Int19h
After finding a 32-bit library for libdirect as well, it failed on fmod.

On the positive side, everything worked great in Wine, after installing vcrun2005 with winetricks.

Absolutely love this on my iMac. Cranked up the res and smoothing.. works a treat!
One thing though - after running the demo - you cannot run it a second time. Gotta delete and re-unpack from the zip and then all ok. Not sure why!

Perhaps this helps?
