What an unexpected surprise, props to skarla, great demo!

Fast 3D and great effects. Perfect demo
Hands down best metaballs on Amiga ever! In general the 3d performance is really awesome. Looked really smooth on the stream!
Loved that bumpmap tunnel! I'm guessing this will be the winner

great to see Skarla back once again :D Your prod kicked ass in a serious great way :D
The pacing was a bit meh, but damn - the best parts of it are impressive!
Ohhmm good one from Skarla
thumbsss do not forget the thumbs
Amazingly smooth rendering, both performance and quality!
Awesome stuff as usual from Skarla. Even if they recycled some graffiti. :]
Superdemo!
Superdemo!
Nice
Really nice stuff from Scarla and the psychics engine is insane

Nice
This was my favourite in the compo, truly awesome! We want MORE! :)
Skarla Rulez!! IMO 1st.
A really nice production, should have won.
Rulez!
Skarla - Rides again!! Great!!
This runs amazingly smooth on real hardware, has unusual high texture quality, fancy horizontal overscan and a really nice flow!
Loving the sphere fragments ;)
Loving the sphere fragments ;)
Should have won, obviously
great
Super demo!
Best Amiga prod this year.
Really nice atmosphere, mostly due to the perfectly adapted soundtrack.
Best design in the compo, looks really great. Shoulda won?
+1 for the "should've won" crowd.
that one overly cartoony face felt awfully out of place, otherwise top notch
Ossom demo! Only a few points were missing to take a higher position in the compo. Perfect engine (runs smooth on a real 060 Amiga), massive effects and great soundtrack. Impressive work and I hope we don't have to wait another 6 yrs for the next Skarla demo ;)
Wow, simply wow! \o/ There should be 3 winner prizes this year, as this one deserver #1 too. Amazing!
what a great demo! when the exploding black sphere part kicked in, it really threw me off! i was like "wooooaaahhh, what the??!!!" :D Amazing demo!!! So many good prods this year, a lot of them deserved the first place! Thank you Skarla for giving us hardcore amiga fans such nice pieces of software! I hope we'll see another skarla demo next year! :)
what msqrt said
Skarla rocks once again!
More of this plz, kthx.
This fuckin' hit me straight outta left field. Awesome follow up.

The demo use a chunky to planar splitted in two frames during dma off to win some rasterlines, it gives some complications for video capture.
Charlie: You finally have the best capture of our demo, other winuae capture is so bad compare to yours, thanks for your great work! The background bug come from the video compression, next time i will not use a gradient as a background.
The metaballs was designed to be in high resolution and the last effect for ultra resolution but as always we didn't have enough time to finish.

No need to optimize for YouTube!
:]
Some really cool scenes in this demo! Definitely want more good stuff like this.
A thumb up for the SKARLAz !!
Boring color palettes and some pace issues, but apart from that really good!
new 'best capture' contender is here ;)
Nice capture ed209
The routines are pretty amazing. Smoothest 3d I remember seeing on 060. As was said this was only a few points away from winning and it would have been deserved.
I suppose the negatives would be somewhat plain (I guess very rushed) graphics (metaball effect with a b&w gradient in the background and photoshop lens flare as texture etc) and the odd music (reggae part?). Thankfully the vocals are not as annoying as last time. Still a bit random and the 'dubstep!' drop felt silly.
Hope you get to properly finish your next one!

Great music (not a fan of the vocal parts though) and impressive code as usual. And the tunnel looks awesome!
Hellfire capture with 50 fps unlocked and better sound quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctU1OE8tB4w
A great demo by Skarla as usual.
I remember seeing the logo at the beginning at ADA some years ago ;)
Great to finally see this demo.. keep it up! very nice!
Here is my live recording (1080p)

VERY good demo! Really really good music. ++++++
woah!
Not perfect, but impressive.
the whole demo is great
nice music, nice effects
nice music, nice effects
very solid
It was a pleasure to see this on the big screen and I was sure that this was going to win. The code is top and I love how Jamie is always guarding his framerate. The sound was really cool and high quality, too - even the vocals :)
In hindsight, the demo obviously lacked some graphics support. But the main problem for me was that some of the parts were generally too dark, i.e. not really optimised for the big screen. I mean the meta-balls, the fragments, and esp. the Skarla logo at the end. Thus, they were not properly reproduced by the beamer and also by the videos, which obviously hampered the viewing experience.
But man, was it all smooth. And it was great meeting and partying with you guys in person, 18 years after we met in an Amiga demo compo at ms2k-1. I hope we can repeat one or the other in a not too distant future!

Amazing smooth demo..
Bouncing balls, metballs, bumpmap tunnel and "dof" particles look really ace!
However some parts does feel disconnected from the rest of the demo (like the reggea'ish part), and some overstay their welcome (the breaking sphere part).
I have not yet run the demo on my 1260/80mhz - but it is for sure making me want to set it up and try it out now :D

a pleasure to watch and listen
congratz Skarla :-)
congratz Skarla :-)
Skarla scores again. However some nice artwork from norm would really help the overall thing.
Niiiiice!
What Nytrik said x100. Kick-ass music.
Very high 3D quality. Everything feels smooth! Good one!
Great Skarla style, you rulez and i like Fairy Tales ;-)
Despite pacing issues and lack of graphics polish it's still my favorite from the compo due to awesome routines.
Cool!
Trying to run this on my real amiga gives me "Error in command" (A1200, Apollo 1260/80mhz w 64mb ram) - running with and without setpatch gives the same error.
HALP!
HALP!
Embarrassing - the executable flag was not set on the .exe file... rookie mistake by me :)
Great code, the 3D is fast but also very accurate!
Oh yeah.
Very good. Or even better.
Oooo! Skarla!
Awesome! How this ended up 3rd is beyond me.
+ the opening scene and these faint bouncing sounds (pity they don't cast a shadow though)
+ 3d metaballs
+ the jelly/kissel tunnel and then the camera getting inside
+ the dreamy, majestic smoke-like thing
+ great soundtrack that doesn't sound like a typical demoscene tune (it's been a while since I've heard dub elements in a demo track) , but I feel it's a bit random and too much is happening
On a sidenote: although it's great that Jamie follows what is happening on Amiga scene, some inspirations are a tad bit too obvious :-)

so much nicer and with a gentle flow, skarla is passive! love the music and all the effects and scenes are wonderful!
This stunning demo absolutely deserves to be in this year's Amiga top 10 IMO. But to make it happen it needs your thumbs! :-)
Thumb incoming. I could never resist jamies code.
Jazzcat: For the inspiration it's not really true, the demo was finished in 2013! i spent 4 years to rewrite/optimize the code but the data/effects was done, i know i'm slow:)
This demo rocks! Great effects and sound. One of mine favourite demos.
Yes!!
Few boring parts and I don't like the music. But tunnel and endpart save the thumb!
Kickass.
awesome discovery!
Very excellent music and song.
THE music! not that the rest is not excellent
Really should've won!
yes
As Good as usual, Big smile with stylish twisted end logo with the sound. 😀
I don't know why Skarla's demos are not more popular. You are a big group
solid!
loving the style of it.
Skarla was one of my favorite groups back in the '90! I totally missed this release!! I am so glad Jamie came back to code on Amiga... you are awesome!!
Hope to see a new Amiga demo from Skarla next year!! Guys, you make ART.
