Oh man!!!! It roxxx hard!!!!

It won't run on any of my real amiga hardware due to lack of memory, so I had to resort to winuae. It's a nicely presented demo with some cool ideas, but I can't thumb it due to the unwarranted memory requirements. (maybe because it was written in C?)
Another great demo! Cool atmosphere, excellent flow and good performance. Nice surprise on Party!
@Paradroid
What's you real Amiga hardware? Just a second ago I got it running on A600 and A1200. In fact, while posting here right now the demo is running on my Amiga 600.

Winner for me, beautiful demo from all aspects.
Oh. Cool demo. Nice tune! Felt right.
Great tune, great design, nice effects, nice Amiga 500, nice great !
Thumbs up for music and visuals. The effects and flow was a bit disappointing, though
Great demo with typical jazzcat tune. I like it.
sexy tune.
Had problems running this proper i winUAE. Glitches as bugs in effects. But overall a really nice amiga treat :)
plus: (as always from gtn) excellent design and soundtrack! also, need to congrats on coding the demo that looks like this completely in the C, for the OCS/ECS machines. definitely thumb up!!!
minus: the fact that some complex c2p effects runs better that simple 1bpl filled vectors. also, some bugs.
general info: after some twiddling to get it running, seems that demo requires 1mb chip ram (that means that A500+ and A600 should work out of the box.

Fuck yes awesome.
At the moment, the demo requires around 850kB of contiguous chunk of chip memory + another 65kB of memory for loading up executable file. I'll eventually deliver ADF disk image that's guaranteed to run on 1MB chip Amigas.
The demo was put together in ~3-4 weeks, so please forgive me it was not tested properly. We know there're several bugs, several details are missing, some effects have room for optimizations. Expect FINAL VERSION in near future.
With reasonable level of code optimization GCC can deliver code on par with hand-written ASM. Though, you still need to look at GCC's output and learn how to write in C to generate effective m68k code.

Nice music
All my A500/A600 only have 1mb (.5chip+.5fake or 1mb chip) so that explains that.
Stylish demo! Good to see new stuff from Ghostown! :-D

not thumb this up because of a selfvote
Also how can you have this brilliant name without the corey hart tune? :P

Doesn't look bad at all and even though the effects aren't exactly revolutionary, or even "taken to the max", they show a little bit of creativity.
That said: you won't get your thumb until you either release a 512+512 compatible version or convince me that it really can't be done. ;)

What the Angry Retired Bastard said. :)
climatic
this is nice. relaxing mood and lovely music.
looks nice, but as you promised a final i cant be bothered to copy the partyversion to my amiga.
also oerg, i think there may have been corey hart samples involved in the production of this particular piece of nice music =)

I really like it, great music and gfx. Good work!
Awesome track! And a rocksolid demo!!
so stylish demo,
so stylish music...
Thanks!
<3 !

Quite stylish, but a little bit too short. Overall, another awesome Ghostown prod :)
Refreshing!!
Great style and execution!
Fucking excellent! Proper Paula usage.
I love that style. Great!
Like the style!
Music sounded good and some nice 80s style glow gfx, but weak effects. Piggy for now.
SMART GLASSES 800eb
Good job, guys!
Great presentation and style! Love it regardless if the HW is pushed or not.
Very nicely done.
okish. enjoyable music
Very nice demo! Great job!
Yes, very good indeed.
Another steampunk excellence piece of Amigaaaaa 500 demo!
Are we just Machines please baby don't hurt me! Heee yeay! hee Yeay!
Roger 1202 we copy this demo all over the globe!
Keep em coming! Greetz to Slayer!

stylish visuals, smooth jazzy music - amiga OCS - a demo of my liking!
Oppa Ghostown Style! :) Good job guyz, I'm glad to see another A500 demo!
Nice demo - especially the music and style! I wasn't too crazy about the coding though (what other coders said).
Ghostown style, very good music and flow. Waiting for the final version!
Good stuff.
Good zik. Nice code-effects. WOuld like to see smoe more (yes I know Cahir)...
Enjoyed the demo, albeit.... well, personally I think some gfx could have been pixelized in a more smoothy, dithered, and non-ps, way.
Ha! =). The mail screen recalls me Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson's (aka Fever Ray) "Fever Ray" album's cover.
Never the less a good demo. Waiting for moar. =)

typo: mail => main
Really cool
this would have been a weak thumb up, but you selfvoted
I selfvoted by mistake. I didn't know people are taking it *that* seriously here.
Cahir: most the people here don't! :)
Cahir: Po obejrzeniu kilka razy powiem tak, dupy nie urywa ale jest bardzo bardzo dobrze :) Wiem że w następnym razem będzie jeszcze lepiej. Co do grafiki i muzy to się nawet nie wypowiadam bo to najwyższy poziom :)
absolutely awesome, great msx! Thanx!
Very stylish! Music, colors, etc.
Cool style and some nice stylish effects.
A new ECS/OCS demo that does NOT suck? Thumpub!

I think it has in part to do with the fact that you have to explicitly select the "thumbs up" option in order to self-vote, as opposed to just leaving it at the default of the pig. It seems you're allowed to feel proud of your production, so long as you don't express it as a thumbs up. :P No such people seem to have issues with those who down-vote their own prods, but nobody said life was fair. ;)by cahir:

Nice graphics and groovy music. The effects are not so great but it does not matters because the demo is very well designed.
A pity that it requires a chunk of near 900K of chip memory to run so I saw it on WinUAE instead of my old A500. Please, do a version compatible with 512/512 and you'll make a lot of old machines happy.
I don't care very much but this autovote thing should be fixed now that we can add authors to the prods. I mean, authors' votes should not add to the count automatically (not even as piggies).

this demo roxorz, ECS is the king!
great tune, great effects nicely put together with solid design. thank you!

awesome soundtrack and good visuals!
Stylish and well worth a thumb up!
thumbs up for the tune and the fact it was written in C... using intuition in any way at all or straight banging the hardware?
Stylish A500 stuff with good re-watch value gets a free thumb.
I love the music :) Overall it's very well designed and nice to watch. Thumbs up!
Very good!
Music is excellent!
Solid entry, obviously Metropolice-like.
solid a500 prod.
comparing to previous ghostown releases needs a bit of polishing but overall nice to watch

nice and sober demo I can enjoy. nice effects, design and music.
Not bad.
Nicely put together demo :).
What Oswald said, next production really needs some heavier effects, if you need inspiration just take a look at some recent 8bit demos, e.g. this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnDX0reRdeM
Graphics, sound and sync departments as always are top notch, but what else can we expect from Ghostown? :)

my lovely demo for last time.
Cool tune Mr. Delay! ;)
great!
Cool.
What a thoroughly enjoyable demo.
nice
nice one
weak and buggy effects, nice 2d and music.
Supporting original Amigas is good but the demo is somehow off my taste.
nice one
like it - mellow and some nice effects. I quite like that newskool looking raster effect thing - Amiga FTW!
slayer: thanks for your greet, now I feel bad for not doing pixel stuff in like forever :-)

Is that true, really?
It's been a couple of years since I last checked the generated 68k code from C compilers, and I was less than impressed.
Awesome stuff!
This has the FLOW!
Godd flow, nice effects and good track.
time to adjust my previous judgement of this: UP
I like it
I've seen the final and can now thumb. :) Good stuff, do more of them!
Final version is a massive improvement in all ways.
Hello everyone! Final release is available! Enjoy watching!
What have we modified compared to party version:
- demo works on standard Amiga 500 with 512 KB chip / 512 KB slow
- most effect were optimized to work well without fast memory
- new effect control system (in spirit of GNU Rocket) was implemented
- inflate decompression routine is used to unpack bitmaps
- replayer was reconfigured to run on vertical blank interrupt
- order of effects was slightly changed
- some minor and major changes and fixes (mostly very technical)

Superb final version, thank you! Enjoyable demo, yes, please do more. :)
i've already given thumb for the party version, but this is amazingly polished final version, so here's another one! 
:)))
:)))
And here is my thumb for the final version.. Kurwa mac.. it's just so great and spox.. I bow before you guys.. Bring on another gem like this at easter! :)
Cheers!!
Cheers!!
cahir, this is my eye/ear candy ;)
thanks!
thanks!
This demo is so f***king great!!! Brilliant!!! We need more!!! :) It's addictive.
MOAR!
Goodlooking final version. Respect for doing that!
Great look and flow to this demo with an outstanding soundtrack. Thanks for the final.
The final version improves the old one, but there are some annoying details who drags it down, so a piggie from me.
Really great ocs demo? You've just made it GUYS!
Yes! This version are great! Thx guys!
T'is eye and ear candy :-)
Cool!
Amigaaa..
great design
Top-notch design and music, and the demo is paced very well. Bravo!
yes! rlz!
Very cool - top stuff as always!!! :)
thumbup for the demo that looks like it's for 060+aga
thumbup for releasing srcs
thumbup for maintaining gcc
thumb... oh, shit, I have only single thumbup here...
2cahir: why not vbcc? :)

@lvd: Thanks!
Why not vbcc? I'm more familiar with GCC - as a user and a hacker (not programmer yet). GCC optimizes the code reasonably, has full control over passing function arguments in registers, has great engine for inline assembly and a few other interesting features. I understand some gcc's internals, which helps me to feed right C-code into it to render assembly programming unnecessary most of the time.

Now I could enjoy it on the real thing. Awesome !
Second thumb for the final release! Awesome style, dudes!Coherent design. I was surprised to find out a ECS demo instead of an AGA one. Cool demo indeed.
I absolutely like this demo, but it seems that even though a couple of small issues with the first release were fixed in the final, some other parts seem to look worse now.
Thumb up for the original one, but the fixed version gets a piggy.

Fresh!
Smooth demo with catchy concept and laidback mood
Still asbra.
Loved this!
lovely :)
Smooth and stylish!
wow, missed this one... for me this was excellent on every level
Stylish!
great design
proper
This demo doesn't need 1MB ChipRam. It runs fine on my A1000 with 512kb Chip and 8MB Fast.
Very impressive demo for the old lady. Amazing!

I just found the final version and was able to run it on my A500 - find attached my much delayed thumb :-)
Yes, the final works on A500 (512k+512k) so it deserves extra thumbs!
This is completely and utterly sexy.
Cool one!
Nice and cute!
Awesome polish Amiga demo, stylish, open source and nice music just saw it on the Amiga Poland Preshow Demoshow to Amiga Ireland Online
Revisit, weak effects, colorcycle equals PD quality.
Brilliant!
Forgotten thumb. Fantastic atmosphere!
Looks very nice and sounds cool!
