Great. A bit slow for a text mode demo, but still cool.

great soundtarack! Nice objects and very colorful. However the chosen charset feels strange. so 9,5 of 10 ;)

Uhm wow. Super awesome. Love the colors, the raytracing style, the detailed textmode, the music... fuck... everything!

i think its a bit sad that modern "textmode" demos look like 64ks with an asciifier added on top (and most probably are).
Having that said, this was a pleasant journey with a great wobbly atmosphere :)

The raytracer is pretty amazing, it would be a great pleasure to watch this on non-textmode screen or with a proper RGB-ASCII converter. The idea is to make the text mode look good, this demo doesn't accomplish it. You are using only about 10% of rgb/ascii potential. Waiting for the "final" version... thump up for the effort.

Big ups for the soundtrack, visuals are pretty dull on the other hand.
rulez added on the 2012-01-21 14:44:06 by dixan dixan
i thought the soundtrack sounded a bit underproduced (the mix sounded a bit flabby to my ears, but hey, prolly just me), and i'm not sure the character set was a good idea, but overall i gotta give props to a textmode demo that can drop frames in the highest setting :D (multicore version kthx? i have 5 babies longing for action here.)

This is, I think, the first prod of brainstorm I enjoy.
Textmode is giving quite a creative boost to it.

The scenes are really more than average and usual but the textmode rendering gives it some interesting and weird aspect I tend to like.
Interesting visuals, interesting music, cool sync, coherent concept. Probably one of the best textmode demos I've seen for ages.

Almost, almost makes me want to hack up a fullscreen console for Windows 7, but that's quite a hassle, since Windows of course doesn't really support that - you'd have to hijack all the console functions a program uses.

If I coded a textmode demo these days I'd probably emulate the console myself...

nice mix of filters to increase the contrast and give a great text mode demo.
rulez added on the 2012-01-26 04:35:20 by Sanx Sanx
gotta say this demo rulez. I really like the sharpen filter and how the messy colours just create cool shades and don't mess up the general picture.

<rant> that's actually hard in textmode to keep a clean global picture, so no, it's more than just your average demo+asciifyer on top, and it's gonna make a non-asciified look empty/boring </rant>

Lovely demo with nicely thought out ideas for textmode. Dithering was good and the sound was cool.

The soundtrack is neat, but the visuals are very dull -- if this wasn't in text mode, I'm guessing most people wouldn't really care.

Somehow misses the point in text mode for me. Using a post processing with about 4 chars and looks lores, not text mode.

xernobyl: slow? I have a 2007 el cheapo PC and it runs fine. JAC! it's more like 16 chars+attribute. BITS style description: raytraced balls, raycasting grid with same, voxelina, chunky2char. I would ask if it's in realtime but it's about 11 years too late for that, does anyone care? Music is tasty.
