Maybe a little long for its contents, but otherwise quite promising. Keep going!

ambient done right - so so so well done. hats off.

Artistic in a certain way, would be a nice 64k.
Motivating thumb.

fuckings to the coder comment on the info. it shrinks your audience. doesn't manage to work here.

As revial said concerning the length/contents, but nice concepts/ideas in it and I like it :)

Therefore I made a Highres Youtube Video for it:

Atmospheric and beautiful, looking forward to more great prods from you guys :)

What struck me first is the urge to say "in 64k please" but being on the forefront of "oh why bother" I'll keep it in. Otherwise: looks nice but it's a good thing Youtube has a seek bar.

Fantastic atmosphere. I should have found this boring, but I don't.

People using the youtube seek bar are doing themselves a huge disfavor.

4850 just gives my a white noisy background and vignette, so fucking to you too then

make it work on ati and I'll give you a thumb, because this is pretty much the best demo released on win-pc this year
added on the 2011-07-17 23:37:08 by noby noby
Should be a final version coming with a proper launcher, which Gargaj kindly provided the source for. Possibly also some changes to lighting. We'll look into the ATI issue, but definitely no promises there.

I love the music and the atmosphere but in the end it's way too boring. Not bad though. Plus, what Plek said.

Awsome production,very stylish presentation and a chill and cool atmoshpere, dig it. I'm already looking forward to your next release :)

I usually like ambient demos but this one was a bit too boring. Crisp visuals though!

This is a pretty good first-prod (welcome to the scene!), but honestly, I can't agree with whoever voted it first.

simple yet elegant. i like it.

stunning demo! important win too.. since it shows that not everyone in the demoscene are bored unless the demo has 150bpm music and things exploding on screen. thanks for making it guys :)
rulez added on the 2011-07-18 13:19:17 by xerxes xerxes
Aside from the horrible transitions, it's not badly done and the music creates an atmosphere.

But it's just way too too cliched. I feel like I've seen this 100 times before. Almost every attempt at artistic motion graphics has this style.
sucks added on the 2011-07-18 13:20:07 by Wade Wade
I like it, but imo the colors are too dark..
rulez added on the 2011-07-18 15:55:48 by pera pera
Not bad at all, especially not for a first one so here's a motivational thumb. Amazing that this one won considering that it's very slow and relatively uneventful. Not that I don't like that but it's usually not very compo-friendly :).

What BackSpace said, but without the 6. ;)

One object. Nice music, no postproc. :/

Good form + colour I'd say, maybe could have benefitted from some soft shadows for more contrast?

"People using the youtube seek bar are doing themselves a huge disfavor."

This is one stunning first prod! Grats on winning.

stylish.

this is great, and not just because it's a first prod.

hope to see more of releases from you soon.
rulez added on the 2011-07-18 19:36:10 by nosfe nosfe
the effect is stylish but looks kinda 4kish.
it perfectly fits the mood and the excellent soundtrack tho.
of course i have a thumb for you.

i hate thumbing down a prod...but this could´ve done in 4K.

Hey, not bad for a first prod.

Haha, what Blueberry said.

Also, was far too long, but certainly a nice first try!

Not bad, but far from being thrilling. Pig sounds adequate.

the music makes it awesome, the object could have some more soul :)

has potential and great music, but not enough action

Slow moving vector objects create an atmosphere of massiveness. Looks polished and good. 2nd place for me, after contraz.

reminded me of monochromatic coral reefs. nice music.
some scenes were a bit too black, IMHO.

simply one of the best effect.

well done!
rulez added on the 2011-07-29 00:12:47 by blackpawn blackpawn
It was pleasant to see... mostly due to its (awesome) music.
But the visual seems not adequate to me... Piggy then...

sorry but no. basically what docd said.

Party version is replaced with final. Setup included. AMD should not be a problem anymore, thanks to the lovely people at AMD. Also, it's a 64 bit executable.

Huh what? I haven't thumbed this!? One of the best pure ambient demos ever made, absolutely beautiful. Soundtrack reminds me of Fennesz.

Shame I forgot to cast a vote on this for Scene.org awards :(

Well done, still feeling pins and needles running down my spine. Would drop cdc here if I only know how :)
rulez added on the 2012-03-23 11:05:50 by AzzaroMWI AzzaroMWI
Very nice, but not much happening. It would make a perfect 4k (ok, I realize that for example the music would be very hard to fit)
rulez added on the 2012-03-23 20:27:13 by blala blala
felt a little like watching paint dry. only this time it's fun! flawless minimal design, nothing to be expected from a first prod.
rulez added on the 2012-03-28 22:51:32 by Paralax Paralax
Noby: I don't think you forgot to put a thumbs up on it. Looks like you were pissed about the fact that the party version didn't work on AMD ;) Glad it was worth the time to make a final.

Concur with the size and good first prod comments, but ultimately it's uninteresting to watch abstract stuff with no real content. Maybe not while smoking illegal stuff, but that doesn't change anything :)

What is "real content"?
