This was pretty cool in its candidness. Definitely enjoyable.
great :D nice one man show!
Nice style.
Needs moarr polygonz, texture-resolutionz and post effects. Or was it made on a rig with an old graphics card, that couldnt handle more? Other than that a solid production.
Salinga: it's a Raspberry Pi demo.
Ah, ok. Then I take everything back and assert the opposite.
Weird, good and ambitious. I liked the recursive mushroom queen.
there.
the surrounding (esp the floor) looked too early-00s-low-poly for my taste but other than that a very solid production.
the music is also very enjoyable and makes this thumb go up with ease.

A bit boring :/, next time bring some action :)
But it looks so horrible. </3
highly plastic, well done Blueghost!
Cool visual style.
Tök jó! O_o--b
Quick quick, someone post a ur anus joke :)
Even if previous gen (but hey, it's a raspberry pie), I still dig this! Long time I have seen such feelingfull worlds, imaginative objects from another reality, spacey colors and moody music, I love it. It will be especially great to plugin the raspberry and try this!
The visual style wraps around from being annoying to being pure genius.
Some strange shit.
Weird and nice!
it's cute and the models have some charm, i like the style, but it goes on for a bit too long imo, well done anyway :)
I like some of the 3D-modelling. I dont necessarily agree with the colors though. Didn't get the music either. Since its a one man show i'll thumb it up, because I see some improvement.
Modeling, graphics, music, I like all of that.
Different but great. I very like the graphics and the soundtrack.
what optimus said.
really nice and quite unique demo. very x-mix'ish but music could be better.

I don't really know what to say... Probably what Trilkk said.
Nice and relaxing, I really like this weird sci-fi concept :)
what Photon said.
"highly plastic", bullshit.
"highly plastic", bullshit.
the main 3d objects look pretty good, the simplified terrain and skybox make it look like those cheesy psychedelic animations from the late 80s though.
i love the visuals for their x-mixs vibe.. :)
Quite boring and not too good looking, I did like the music though.
Did not like the music and design, but the overall weirdness somehow makes it quite captivating.
This is art :) Nice relaxing Dream-Dance-Style music, less sci-fi noise would be better for the athmosphere, I really like it somehow as it is very different
Uranus looks cool sir !
It has a nice and unique art direction , accompanied by a fitting soundtrack and good camera work. What's not to like about this? I DO like it! :D
While the other entries in the compo were more technically impressive, this was easily the most enjoyable one for me. Unique art design is a rare quality, and I wish more demos went completely off the wall with it.
nice!
i like it somehow,
it's a cool one man show.
it's a cool one man show.
A little gem, definitely worth a thumb.
Not a big fan of the creature (robot?) design in the first couple of scene, but the infinite egg part and the rest is pretty cool.
piggie for pc, thumb for pi!
Raspberri Pi? nice! :D
gomba-nagyitó !!
nice!
This is different, which is good, of(f)course it is!
My problem with it is that the music aswell as the graphics feel like 10 years ago most of the time, while the newskool-stuff is all in there already!
Did i say all? You missed one Post-Effect that would have made this really good: HypnoGlow! or Bloom, as non-Demosceners call it! ;)
All in all you made a nice Demo there, i guess you had a lot of fun while making it, which must have took some time as well! ;) Too bad about the placement, but as said: Do sth similar again and add some HypnoGlow, you´ll feel how much better this is the moment you apply the "bloom" to this very demo! (to test if i am right about what i am trying to tell you! ;) )

hArDy: thank you. :-) The problem is, I targeted mainly the Raspberry Pi, and not cared about the PC version. The Raspberry Pi has a _very_ low pixel fillrate. There are some scenes where the engine is doing multi-pass rendering and the fps drops down there to 15-20 fps. The average is 45 fps in 1600x900. That's why there is no post-processing. So next time I think I will boost the quality of the PC version a bit. :-)
You should aim for 30+ fps on 1280*720! Thats what we 4K-people do, as we have to sphere-march everything to keep up with the quality of others 4Ks!
Higher Resolutions are a good thing to aim at if you dont use any Tracing/Marching, but when i hear RasPi i think of limits, so you should set the limits accordingly, 1280*720 is enough for everyone! Even for the biggest Big-Screen on the biggest Demoparty there is, Revision! Never heard any complaints about too low Resolution and being visible on that monster of a Screen at all! And i have been an organizer of that event for the first two installments! ;)

hArDy: you are right. :-) This is a quite young platform, there are no demo-standards for it yet, I think this is the first demo that tries to push the limits of this little machine. But 1280*720/30fps sounds a fair standard. :-)
Is awesome, makes me want to resurrect my Pi. Which I almost never tried, because at the time I didn't had an HDMi monitor around me, and also problems with slow OS and expanded borders, so I forgot it in the box. But this demo makes me wanna try my Pi. Even 15fps with that visuals would be nice for the Pi, imagine such demos for OpenPandora or GCW0, wow.
Although i am not fond of some of the colors that were chose and the background feels empty at times, i must admit that this production has a certain charm to it and feels unique. I enjoyed it.
you are pushing boundaries there for sure! good job! i kinda forgot about HOW limited a RaspPi is in the end! ;)
Is there no way to workaround the texel-fillrate? would be bad if postProcessing wouldn´t be doable, while everything else is! ;) i guess this is the thing PI-coders should target now, bettering fill-rates with clever-tricks. i have absolutely no idea btw, never tried to code these, dont own one and so on! ;) just trolling a bit! ;)

It was OK.
Nice one.
Pretty cool for Raspberry Pi (maybe the best demo on the Pi I've seen yet?) and really rocks for a one man prod.
There's obvious talent in here, but it needs a lot of hard work to figure out the style still, in all aspects.
pi
sweet
I love this.
Wait... Raytraced quartics with CSGs on a raspberry PI? :)
One man and his Raspi. The butterflies were great,
♥
Nice music, and original design!
Very creative. Nice to see a PI demo.
awesome work there, loved the matroshka
I only like the soundtrack.
sweet
I think your water bugged out a bit?
slow paced, nice little world there
sweet
What has been said, plus it works on my really old hw :D
Oh! This music..........
Still can't get it run on my RPi 3 B (Raspbian official OS updated) What do I need to get it fixed (libs, resolution...) ?
very interesting style - esp. cool for a one-man show and considering the target platform
GeoAnas: I just started preparing a final version with Raspbian 10 (+rpi 1/2/3/4) support, please check back in a few days :)
@ blueghost
Thank You! This is awesome news! I am listening your music theme over and over again. Astonishing! Feeling luck to have a somehow "sensitive ear" (being a SID guy) I can tell you for sure... you're amazing sir!
If you feel to share some in deep details about your group or how you made this little wonder happen, please stop by @iamretro.gr for a short interview.
Here, you can browse through a brief list of interviews, I've published so far:

2 words about the music...
It perfectly expresses the moment when the deprived mass soul breaks the space-time continuum and reincarnates into the current reality, unaffected by the forces of the temptations of matter, having as its sole purpose the extraction of positive energy -love- and its elevation to light. The sound of the heartbeat that is heard rhythmically and quickly somewhere in the background, in some moments of the demo, expresses the "body" that is also the soul's grave. It ties in harmoniously with the main musical background of the demo. Somewhere in the middle of the demo, music discreetly changes temp and pitch, demonstrating -perhaps- the troubles and trials that soul must come across via a karmic sequence to its final goal, the supreme, bathed in radiant light of the peace of deification. Fates sometimes play us like puppets and we are taking our role of eternal and tragic dancers in a carousel of experiences and emotions that seem to have no continuity. Fates acting like invisible pranksters, want to test and torture us.
Maybe our souls come, go and come back, always trying to complete what they once could not. However there are some poetic, rare and secret moments, we visitors at the edge of the dream, with our limited senses, realize. Oblivion reigns in our real world. But there are times when we are invited. It is then that the accumulated, eternal and omnipotent love floods us, a real pandemonium in a magnificent eruption of the etheric, causing a heart attack of cosmic continuity as we are leave in. Our line of life instantly loses its shape and continuity. In these rare moments, the ephemeral world of "now" vibrates and shakes ...

Works as a dream!!!!! Cheers Tibor, U R an ACE!

No source = No thumbs up!
reminds me of 3D animation from the 80s :)
