My first Amiga demo, coded for an expanded Amiga 600 that just *died* the first night at the party place!
Thanks a lot to the organisers of the Evoke 2014 for their awesome support.

Great gfx, but otherwise a bit too repetitive. But thumb for a firstie.

Love it! The suspects are fine pixel art.

I *love* the soundtrack. Is the mod available anywhere?
Some of the mugshots & descriptions made me laugh out loud. Good one!
rulez added on the 2014-08-10 03:13:56 by jmph jmph
@jmph the module can be found here : https://github.com/astrofra/demo-unusual-suspects/raw/master/Assets/module.bin
Just rename it into 'something.mod'.

Nice idea, and quite funny texts. I particularly enjoyed the Another World and I, Robot references. :)

Deserves a thumb,so here's one

"Charged with violation of all three laws of robotics." heh

It's kind of repetitive in idea, but still well executed.

I like it for mugshots and funny text.

I liked the graphics, reminds me a bit of Dan Malones style.

ocs/ecs demo in C that doesn't suck deserves the thumb up!

Great one :)

Great gfx and smooth execution, even if theres not much going on it was still enjoyable.

A bit too long for my taste, but entertaining nonetheless.

Very unusual! Great visual style, great pixelart, but a tad too boring in the end. Even though the mugshots are VERY well done and had some funny captions. Please continue.

allright, have my thumb ^^

Nice graphics but other than not my cup of tea, no real effects and those that are there aren't particularly interesting. Also, such a demo should work on a bog standard 1.3 A500.

Great! Moar!!

Nice GFX... and thumb up because it's a good firstie.

Nice, especially the very clean graphics, as other it makes me think to the Bitmap Brothers.

Very nice gfx!

The first demo on my A500 that needs my ACA500/3.1 to run ! But nice, thanx !

Thumb up for it being a firstie and some nice pixel art, but the pacing was horrible and way to repetitive.

Nice story and very good pixel arts ;-)

great amount of talented people here, nice to see my old buddies fra and gelmir back on the scene :D

Must agree with StingRay here.

Nice 2D gfx, but otherwise boring as hell.

Funny blurbs and really nice gfx and music.

The "120 colors on screen" effect deserved a better staging imo ;)

Now be a punk: reject the system and start banging some hardware :P

Good graphics, specially prime minister maya let me confused. More of slideshow category than demo though and for this genre, thumb up!
rulez added on the 2014-08-11 23:19:46 by fiveofive fiveofive
Had a strong déjà vu to that one while watching this.
Pixel art is fine (Another World ref ruled) but those RPG character-sheet-demos won't resonate with me.
I think it's like the beginning of a story ... without the actual story happening.
added on the 2014-08-12 09:45:44 by d0DgE d0DgE
@d0DgE 'Whereabouts' by Planet Jazz was a source of inspiration, indeed :)
added on the 2014-08-12 09:49:04 by fra fra
Absolutely no idea what this is referring to, but it was way too long and had way too little content for my taste. Congrats on your Amiga firstie though, and some of the pictures were nice.

Wh-what??????? FRA at coding? on 68000? Definitively good surprise, you made my day :)

About the "demo-show" itself, I would have expected some more variations - I asked myself why those characters / why such descriptions.

Keep up the good work, promising.

Thanks Nono :)

LHC joke saved it! :)
Good for a firstie :) feels like a memberlist demo
What bonefish said.
rulez added on the 2014-08-13 16:35:17 by Daniel Daniel
Thanks everyone.

norecess: The art was not made specifically for this demo, it was just something I did before, one of several face collections. And fra just asked me if he could use some of my art.

@ptoing it's very good art, congrats

Singular Shufflepuck Cafe ambience makes Unusual Suspects smell like a 1988 instant vanilla Amiga classic. Also nice use of copper.

very repetitive, looked like a boring game intro.
added on the 2014-08-18 14:59:25 by maali maali
I can agree that it's a bit repetitive, but the linevecs are quite good for C and the stunning gfx kicks Dan Malone's ass & makes you want to read the next description! Definitely a neat firstie. :)
rulez added on the 2014-08-19 10:31:05 by Photon Photon
A little bit too long, but anyway good content and ideas. For a firstie it's great! Repair your A600 and continue democoding on it.
rulez added on the 2014-08-24 20:53:19 by Chainsaw Chainsaw
Thanks for your kind comments, on a strict coding point of view I sincerely think I don't deserve it :)
And, oh yeah, the A600 went on repair the week after the party and I'm working on a post-party release, OS 1.3 compliant, with a couple of tweaks and improvements.

It was decent. Music was OK.

Pixelling by maestro pt0ing made me watch. No letdowns in that department. But high level coding is not the way to do it on retro platforms, and all this collective effort would deserve a better direction.
BTW., I liked the Vectrexish font too.

btw, should it work on 68000, provided enough chip and fast mem?
