Nice going!
Awesome. Really great tune and well-balanced visual style and color choices and pleasant animation all around. Didn't care for the end screen but everything else is just top notch and the combo of the music and visuals hits me in the right spots.
Absolutely amazing A500 demo!
Did this just become the most stylish A500 intro?
Fucking cannoning. Has been a while an A500 demo has surprised me to this extent.
The music is just slightly disappointing. Nice start but didn't really manage to break out of the generic early 90s demotecho trope. Just ditching the drum break loop would've done wonders I reckon.

Nice concept and great execution. Love it!
nice demo!
One of those great demos where a hw-friendly technique is used and its downsides are turned into super stylish design choices. Lovely!
Woha! This is just awesome! Good work!!!!!
that was great
Very nice style and the music is ace!
What an unexpected massive blast of style and attitude.
Smooth ride!
Numero uno A500 demo for me.
Fabulous. OMG, I can't forgive myself that I've overslept the premiere :D
Absolutely mind-blowing!
Stylish in every aspect!
Cool
!
It amazes me that one guy can produce such high quality prods on so many platforms
Maybe i m missing something here.... good but where is the wow factor ?
Slightly too long for what it has to offer, but apart from that great style and awesome execution!
Very very spox..
Tight synch work! Great track, good distortions, nice style!
A500 1MB? Amazing!
great stuff!
this prod is fatter than your mother
That was fun!
NICE!
Great!
Something mostly different.
Until now I can't get to myself. On the big screen looks amazing! KK - great job!
OCS firstie, OK. If you don't know how to code 3D, fine, keep cycling 2D animations like other lesser groups and glitch it up to hide the repetition.
Aaand the absolutely tiny screen size and the dull colors and the barren design... but we should recognize this pattern by now... I hear humans are good at pattern recognition... ;)
Music is good, if monotone. I like bigmods with quality samples. But animations are static and objects nondescript.
As you can tell, not my cup, and also... fakers are lamers!

And Just after I thought Amiga 500 Demos are getting boring. Amiga Demo of the year for me Up till now
Simply OSSOM! Looked massive on the big screen! \o/
WowWowWow...design, music, flow, hardly ever seen something similar as good and consistently stylish as that on Amiga !
This is what AMIGA is all about! So glad people people are finally tapping into the full potential of the hardware and realizing their creative visions.
Looks superb, good job! Am I totally wrong if I assume this is done using "unlimited bobs" kind of tecniques? Really nice nonetheless.
wow , love it! Certainly one of the best A500 demos
Great demo by a great coder! :) I hope to see you at STe in the future too (not to mention about the Falcon) ;) Well done, KK!
Nice
@malmix: Yes, it's "unlimited bobs" with 24 frames @ 25 FPS. The rendering is full-fledged 3D with matrixes, perspective, clipping and stuff, but I wanted to make scenes much more complex than A500 would usually allow, so I traded that for repetition and tried to compensate this in other ways. :)
I'm really glad that most of you guys like it. Thanks! :)

What a blast! Didn't expect so much style anymore. But it's done, on pure Amiga 500 apparently..
Regardless it's based on one effect, this is so well designed, a pleasure to watch.
Super consistent flow, great oldschool but modern-ish track!
Clever approach to hide an old-school technique behind modern visuals. Excellent tempo and, well, I don't actually think the content is really all that repetitive.
Damn cool. My new favourite OCS demo.
Very very very very very very very very fucking cool!
The glitchy line vectors are cool and well realised.
Ahh, what a fresh visuals and perfect synchro! This demo is out of this world :) Excellent stuff showing how much you can (still) do on an old Amiga 500. Respect!
there's been substantial love for the line art to make it look good unlike many other fakeretro shizzle that totally miss the boat on this, so thumbs up for that
Looks very slick for an A500 demo. Great style and music, everything feels very consistent. Good work KK!
Nice one!
KK rulez!
Very modern, looks great, sounds great, great pace and fantastic coherence!! Absolutely love it!! Well-deserved first place!!
Newschool style for oldschool hardware. Neat.
best unlimited bobs i have seen for a while
lines never looked so good. :) pumpin' music too.
and it works in winuae, but it wants kickstart 1.3.
Sweet!
f r e s h
Not a huge love for the soundtrack, but it all works pretty well together even if parts of it do feel a little repetitive of previous parts.
Superb use of the unlimited bobs effect! A tune that fits nicely to the visuals. I kind of got annoyed at the constant glitching though
Haven't watched it, but has to be good if Photon thumbs it down with those lulzy comments
Pretty sweet. Great design, good ideas. Shame about the letterboxing. Would've liked an electro rhythm instead of the generic techno drums, but other than that the music's spot on.
Amazing demo. One of the best modern demos on the A500!
Cool! Impressive code and visuals but bit too long.
.solid one
Nice idea, well executed, looks fresh and sounds good. Kudos! Funny choice for a group name though, as we already had an Altair on the Amiga in the early 90s ;)
When we were creating the group we weren't aware of this :)
@break @malfunction: I'm still better off explaining this, than explaining that no, I didn't make Lemmings. ;)
Just teasing you guys, thanks for the sweet demo :)
Rocks in every possibl way!! And seems Photon got out the wrong side of bed ;)
Absolutely wicked! Love the wireframe designs and animation, totally soaked in style, knows EXACTLY what it wants to be. Sync is so brilliantly executed and the music is also really good and fits the moody techy style of the visuals perfectly.
Screen size is a little small but I kinda like the ultra-wide aspect ratio it creates, we've been using it for Logicoma demos since day dot ;)
Also, don't listen to Photon, he just hates pre-baked data. As far as I'm concerned the end result of the demo is king regardless of how you manage to draw it, and you guys pulled off a whopper!

@djh0ffman: The demo is fed by 3D wire meshes and animated matrixes, so it's no more prebaked than any usual 3D stuff. I could without too much extra effort do a flyby around every single scene, but it might be just too much for a poor A500 to handle with any reasonable framerate. :)
Impressive demo. I Like lots of wireframes and colours used. Music - not my cup of tea, but fits overall design, so not a problem. Definitely rulez!
Great demo. I liked the amazing tune too, makes me think to alien 3 on the megadrive.
love
OMG what a music and sync!
coolooloool!
phat!
Luv this one. A joy to watch.
massive demo! and personal message for Photon: you'are fucking jerk, fuck off man :)
Awesome!
Flawless execution. Great sound also. I really enjoyed this during the compo and afterwards.
This is absolutely awesome! It looks as if it was made for a far stronger machine than A500! Jaw dropping!!!
Whoa.
nice flow, cool & coherent design!
Excellent demo, perhaps the best OCS/ECS-demo for me ever! Great tune with great visuals and superb coding! I really want to have more this stuff please! :)
Just wow! Progressively building animations is a cool way of doing really dense scenes. And the scenes in this demo are very skillfully made so I found it really interesting to watch even though the animation cycle is short.
Would have been even better it was mixed up with some more graphics, and perhaps some other type of effect, too.
Great work!

@mayday: Well... we are overwhelmed by all your reactions and we still feel we can do at least a bit better, so... let's say we are inclined to make Zener 2 some day. ;)
Now that's what I call an entry ... in Panavision :)
Excellent visuals & music!
This is pretty amazing! Congrats!
This is pretty amazing! Congrats!
Now that was a cool one :)
Absolutely awesome Amiga 500 demo, congratulations!
excellent prod ! i liked it a lot. unfortunatly i only can test it under amiga forever due to back to studies and far from home but yes ! it rocks and the music is soooo good. for me it is now a classic as old good stuffs as state of the art or else :) thanx yet
Groovy
absolutely incredible! the best amiga 500 thingie in a long time. visuals and audio are hitting all my sweetspots
Hihihi Photon is jelly
Definitely my kind of trick (cycling animation + progressive build) - rhumb up for this. Tech music and modern/glitchy design? not my taste - just my taste.
I really like the music-sync work. Good attention to details and overall an enjoyable production.
Made my day. Loved the framerate and glitches. KK rulez again!.

Haven't watched it, but has to be good if Photon thumbs it down with those lulzy comments
It was a strong reaction fresh from watching on two Amigas. KK knows his stuff, and cyclic buffering is a useful tool in the toolbox. Dark or glitchy demos on small screens are not my cup normally, but in this case the screen was extra small and I had to move to the living room 32" TV, and I had to stand near the TV to see it. These 3 factors just made it a jumble otherwise. And I have quite keen eyes.
I have good setups. So I ran out of patience, and left an angry vote. I wanted to enjoy it, but it wouldn't let me. I think it's impractically small.
KK: The sync is tight, the glitch sometimes works well and sometimes not. I think the nicest object is the UFO(?), and the last scenes work well. It's cleverly planned and you did a good job of matching visuals to the song. You should do the demos you like to do, period.
so fresh yet so oldschool
Now that I've finally watched it I though I'd also give some comments. Technically it's maybe not the most impressive and the overlays were pretty rubbish, but goddamn does it feel fresh. I even liked the music, and thought it worked well with the visuals. So good job guys, would thumb it up again if I could :)
basically one effect with different animation data or so..
well ;) so piggy
well ;) so piggy
heh... damn thumbed it... meh
MAKE WIREFRAMES GREAT AGAIN
nice
Nice music and effects, epic A500 demo there is a video of the whole compo here now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUk8G6WxxnU
Well, there is also a video from the compo with audience reactions here:

Great retro style. Matches well with the group's name :)
It was OK.
animations or not, looks quite cool
Fantastic use of looping animations. Instead of trying to hide them away or obscure them, you boldly put them in plain view and take the rendering to the next level. With style. Fresh indeed!
Nice music and sync. I don't like when all effects are only wireframe. Using some filled vectors will be more beautiful.
Hot!
I can say this is one of the best low end demos i ever saw. The demo is not like a regular a500 or any ocs/ecs demo you could watch. And i can say the demo is a great technical achievement. And about soundtrack, how on earth the soundtrack have a great quality on this machine? In my opinion the tune sounds like regular high quality tracks on modern computers. Well... I can say no more. <3
This is a real A500 demo. Doesn't even even run on an stock A1200/020. That doesn't have to be, we've got 2017 and not 1991. As real hardware rulez, I watched it on my A500/1MB with 3D glaces and it looks good. The effects are fresh and match the music perfect.

Hasn't it always been part of the scene to do something different, that wasn't expected? Wasn't it you who has thumbed up for 7800 phong polys when there weren't 7800 phong polys?fakers are lamers!
I have always been a fan of unlimited <any>, and this one makes great use of it. The way it uses the sound channels in the visuals reminded me of Hello Africa and SOTA in a fresh way. Actually that even holds true for some of the samples. And that's a good thing. It would have deserved more memorable end screen, though.
When I first watched the demo, I had this strange familiar feeling about it.. And now, after been watching it more times, the music and also the tight sync makes me feel like I'm watching a Polka Brothers demo.. ;)
this is an awesome piece of motherfucking art.
Very nice!
Awesome :D
ECS/OCS !!!
Excellent stuff. Makes me want to connect my good old Amiga to a CRT and watch it for "real".
Needs a very loud hi-fi setup too :)

2 points of criticism:
- the atrocious credits typography
- it's about 30-45 seconds too long

nice visuals, bit boring demo, the music reminds me of generic polish scene techno from the 90's.
best use of unlimitedBobs to date!
KK keeps impressing me!
more of this please!

what spec is it made for? I see only the ocs/ecs from this page... I can not see anything in the nfo.. Just crash on my 060 aga..
Try an Amiga 500, Kriz ...
good
@STEEL: I still think the nfo should state the requirements, as of amiga and ram atleast.
@kritz OCS """implies""" A500 (usually w/ 512k fake fast)

You should take that up with The Keepers Of The Demoscene Rule Book then.
They're right next door to Ye Olde Clue Shoppe.
you simply can't hate this.
Korvkiosken: Ill do that.
@d0DgE: nfo only says Amiga demo ..
It's been a long time since I see such a beautyful A500 demo. Finally a demo that actually uses HW and not a 3D engine in a framebuffer with C2P routines, streamed music running on a 060...
AWESOME!
Kriz: so you basically gave it a thumb down because YOU did not understand the requirements? Great way to show your appreciation.
Nice and refreshing demo.

yyeee hly sht

8/10
a pleasant watch & listen
ACE!
Disconnect external drives, etc, if you want to run it on a real A500...
I'm not a fan of this style of demo at all and the display is super tiny, but I like the tune and it's one of the best uses of incremental animation I can remember seeing, so have to give it respect for that. A hesitant thumb.

hesitated so much I forgot to click the thumb :P
Nice theme, but I find it oversynchronized and not really comfortable to watch. Less is more.
Tiny screen but impressive for A500! To load it on an expanded CDTV, don't forget to deactivate HDD, CDTV ROM and use Kickstart 1.3 or the demo will crash and CDTV parameters will be reseted.
[meaningful comment here]
Amiga 2000 w/ A2620 68020 accelerator. With the 020 enabled or disabled, the demo locks loading on track 28. HxC2001 floppy emulator. 1MB CHIP, 6MB FAST.
Solid!
Great demo! Smart use of common effect, kick ass msx. Big pleasure to see it 1st time on big screen.
ohh, THAT SYNC O_o definitely one of the best A500 releases!
Demo is raw in style but great in general reception. And fuck photon's comments to all your amiga productions. As I see, old fat has a mental problem with you while he's lame enough not to be able to finish his website and youtube series with a reasonable sense and conclusion and the only thing he's able to release recently, "matching" the quality level is some retarded zombie packman shit. Guy should retire and leave people with passion alone, but old pugs rarely get the message clearly.
Very smooth and well-designed. Somehow, except for the resolution, this does not feel like an oldschool platform demo at all.
YES!
Oh man, is this some sweet, synched, glitchy goodness! Gotta try some unlimited line shit like this on C64 some day.
Absolutely fantastic demo, esp considering it's for the A500! <3
I approve.
great demo! and works on A600 too
Great sync and interesting use of the effects!
super awesome
Wohaa, great show guys!
Simply stunning. Would like to see more demos in this style on the Amiga.
Rulez! Awesome show!
Great !
Wow, it's even better on the real machine! Incredible demo
I don't know why I haven't thumbed this up yet. Absolutely fantastic!
Dat effects. I don't like these glitches tho.
Nice effects perfectly synchronized with music !
very nice demo!! and the music is super good :)
Clever use of amiga bitplanes. I enjoyed!
