Wow, you're fast :) Great prod, amazing visuals. My Amiga had an honour to be the compomachine for this one.

Mega!!
Great demo!!
No! I mean YES!
This was amazing. Once again!
Great demo, great compo. Thumbs up for RK/LE team. You guys rock.
68060, 2MB Chip, 64MB Fast or YouTube.
what a ride. and what a fantastic last scene!
Super Demo!
Weltklasse!
nice and fast show
wow :O
fantastic!
Nice to hear Muffler back on the scene again!
End party was very nice to! Keep on rocking this nice scene cooperation!

Muffler!
Stylish demo.

Good stuff! Kaleidoscopes!
Trippy little fella. I like it.
Damn what a fine prod! Cool to see Muffler back in the Amiga game!
hoe-lee-fuck!
sweet
Nice one..
I enjoyed it bigtime and Mufflers main track is dope!
Enjoyable show.. Love it! Thumb up!
I was beamed directly into Amiga heaven! Wonderful show with noble visuals, exquisite design and massive sound madness!
Such a beauty for both eyes and ears. My only gripe is that cutting between the metaballs and the following effect felt a bit random. Anyway, loved it!
MASSIVE.
Awesome... this is newscoolish, stylish, fine-tuned from beginning till the end and the epic scroller endpart gave me goose-bombs. This production got second? Holy Shit. I can`t believe/ wait to see the compo winner!
Thank you for a great Amiga Demo!

Great stuff, especially the outro-music.
Muffler rulez!!!
freaking perfect demo.
I have only two words about this demo:
FUCK
YEAH
!
FUCK
YEAH
!
cool stuff!
I didn't watch it but it could be better :)
very clean execution and great content!
Great, love the music and the visuals.
thank you for the demo! unfortunately endpart crashes on my 1200 060 64Meg
Super!!!!
Extremely impressive demo showing that nowadays the only barrier between AGA and PC demos may be just different resolution;) If it was PC demo I would still love it as visuals are simply beautiful (esp particles and kaleidoscope). Good syncing with music makes thrilling atmosphere (eg in particles part). Ghostown + Haujobb seems to be killing mixture - great job!
Good job. Regards!
lovely!
nice
fantastic
Youtube from the real thing? It looks like the framerate is really high. I thought the final zoomer and some of the radial blurring were the most thrilling effects.
Nice to see some palette tweaking too! All amiga demos should have this.

Just wow!
Really good job! :)
I was totally expecting it to take 1st place until hearing the results. :)

Really nice! "Modern" oldschool vibes from the late 90's :)
Superb demo, great job!
and also, deserved kuros!
Wooha! Code+gfx+music+design. Perfect match!
great!
Demo won't run correctly installed on FFS/PFS partitions due to filename lenght limitation. You'll have to manually change the filename ending of four files in the data folder (.trac -> .track)
But nontheless its a very great Demo! Nice colours and nice clear and crisp 2D graphics! love it! Really refreshing :)

Скакуны Луча!
What a (beam) ride!!! Faster than any train in the Galaxy ;) Great stuff guys, thx for releasing it at RK/LE 2017! <3
Cego, thanks for the filename-bug report. I made a quick fix for it. The download link is already updated. Final version coming later.
Yeah...what MKM said :-)
Great in every aspect. Love the color scheme.
Brilliant!
Excellent haujobb aesthetic, sublime audiovisual quality.
Cool demo!
Great to see you old fucks being productive again :)
Brilliant intro, brilliant ending, quite liked the rest of it too.
Super stylish and polished!
Like it much more than 1st place, which was quite cool also.
i dig this demo a lot, the style, pace and typography go excellent with mufflers track!
To me it seems like a mismash of ugly/mediocre (mostly in the the first half) and really great (the credits and the ending). I can't connect with the demo at all, but this thumb up is for the good-looking stuff and the music (especially the ending part)
Thaaat what i like!
Love overall concept, stunning visuals and absolutely great tracks. Lot of attention do details, and perfectly polished effects, great colour handling, almost everything is great.
Fuck that was great, just saw it on my 060, 25years of the A1200, just killer killer killerr.. RESPECT !! And Haujobb back on the Amiga, with Ghostown !! RULEZ !!!!
Well, I guess a lot have been already well written here.
From me, I wish to say, that the demo is too short. The music is so atmospheric that I wish the demo's first part could have last at least twice as longer.
The second music theme is great as well.
Next time, please do make your prods longer.
Thank you, dewdz.

Very fucking cool! Lovely composition.
The kaleidoscope is the low point (filler?) for me.
But excellent work on everything else, great style!

Awsome!
Yes!
Nicely done.
Awesome demo, the wobbling(?) BEAM logo looks great... music is massive, especially the end tune.
wwaow, great!
top!

Awesome demo with awesome soundtrack(s)! :)
F*cking hell, this is it! My respect =)
class!
Very, very nice! Enjoyed this one a lot! :) Thumbs up!
My only complaint is the creepy face, but nobody cares what I want to complain about :D . Smooth, clean gfx; great sync and sounds; flow and energy. A truly solid prod.
Good old Amiga with very recent approach. Excellent demo with stellar soundtrack!
Fucking awesome 060 demo and good to see Muffler back doing Amiga music
One thing which sets this one apart from just about all amiga prods ever is that there is antialiasing and filtering all over the place. Couldn't really see a jaggy edge in any of the effects! :)
Very smooth, and a great soundtrack. :)
So so.
supersampling 2x or 1.5x ?
just fantastic!
Great demo with nice effects and super soundtracks.
Some bug on my A1200+BPPC060: After the end of the demo (when music and subtitles scroll is finished) is playing some part of memory as sound and after that follow "recoverable alert" message. I must reboot WB.

Fantastic music (both tunes) and beautiful visuals!
What they said
WOW! What a nice demo. Everything is awesome here: The Music, the effects and the gfx. Great atmosphere. Congratulation, guys.
Damn you scraped the barrel of available memory with this one.
Had to unrig the whole soundcard setup in order to enjoy it with sound.
Although I'm not so keen on the colour gradients I can imagine why you designed it this way. Lores never looked so smooth with this antialiasing :D

Ride enjoyed, goal archieved.
Wow! Very very nice!
Cool!
Thanks everyone for the kind words <3
Going to RKLE was an awesome experience, again. So many releases on such a "small" (about 170 visitors IIRC) party is just incredible. If you extrapolated this for Revision, the Amiga compo would have to last for several hours! Anyway, we are slowly coming back to the project to make the final version.
In the mean-time, here is: Beam Riders "making of", a gource visualisation of our repository commits from start in July to fixed compo-version in October. I have never seen this kind of visualisation in a demo-scene context and tought it would be nice to share with you in case you wonder what coders were doing (and when).

A real nice demo. The tune is superb. And the ending scene is awesome.
ugly colours, black backgrounds and lame music.
nice colours, beautiful backgrounds and wonderful music!
WOW!
This could have easily been shown in any PC-compo and noone would have recognized it not being PC but AMIGAAAAAAHH! :D
Awesome code, colors, graphics and music!
I bow in respect, Hellfire and NoName!

stunning! I like the music. excellent mood. awesome color palette.
Really really well-done. Looks (and sounds) slicker than most stuff out there!
On a sidenote: I'm getting some strange slowdowns in the scroller after it has been running for a little while (A1200/060/50Mhz).

Thanks for all your feedback!
We fixed some bugs, cleaned some details and reduced the required memory to 32MB.
Get the final version here.

10/10, is it really Amiga?
Awesome demo. Looking forward to more collaborative work.
Well done guys!
Solid
awesome!
Thanks for final version, now it's works ok...
Beam Riders v1.2 has just been released (download-link updated). 32 MB Fast, 512 KB Chip, 68020+ w. FPU, any Chipset.
This version adds OCS support! If no AGA is detected, the demo automatically falls back to OCS, making it work on any sufficiently expanded Amiga model. You still want to run it on 68060+, though!

Lol. I betcha we're going to see some emulator capture and the scene will pretend that "there really is an OCS machine with 68060 and 32MB out there".
If Pouet adds an OCS/ECS tag to this it's plain wrong. And quite revealing.

Behold. Never heard of accelerators for A2000 and A3000 like the the good old Blizzard 2060? Also, here is a video running it live on a souped up A1000. So there. Let me lol at you now.
Link means it happened. "Pretend that there really is an OCS machine with 68060 and 32MB out there" is a number of machines so close to 0 that it stands the test of time ;) Lol was about emulator capture vs. yay OCS. A3000 isn't OCS, but whatever.
Thumbs up just because of Photon being an ass
Aca500plus with Blizzard 1260 actually works.
I actually changed my mind about this.
1260 does not work on OCS. You need a custom Kickstart made, and then you must still degrade the card to be compatible with the OS. An OCS machine with 030+FPU, 040 or 060 and 32MB is currently a combination that conspires to reduce the number of machines in the world to virtually 0.
So the target platform struck me as strange. But I belieb in Jens :) My statement will not stand the test of time! In the future there will be 060 accelerators for everyone! And besides, nothing wrong with a port.

OK. But please stop mixing up chipset and CPU-OS-compatibility for the sake of your argument. It is perfectly possible to have OCS/ECS chipset with a fast CPU/FPU and a lot of RAM. You would problably have Kickstart 3.0 or higher in the computer then. IIRC ACA500 comes with Kickstart 3.1.
Also, the Apollo 2030 from 1991, amongst others, should be able to run Beam Riders just fine. So we do not have to wait for the "future". It was already here.

My Amiga 2000 with a Blizzard 2060 approves the OCS version.
This expansion runs in my A2000 for almost 20 years, and it's completely "end user" hardware, no soldering, no homemade hacks, no crazy adapters, no hanging-out-the-side-of-the-machine expansion, no overclocking, no patched Kickstarts or anything. Plug it and go. And now I'm even more proud to have it, because it also proves that Photon hasn't got a clue.
So here, have another thumb up, just for the OCS support alone. Thank you. I'm gonna watch the fuck out of it.

Wonderful music, graphics and palettes. No glitches when watching and the sync works. The effects are great-looking, but on 060/50 some of them are painfully slow to watch. The amount of people with an 060 is low and the 60 MHz-plus ones disappearingly so, which makes me think that perhaps too much is expected of this platform.
Another for the less memory consuming final, plus the OCS downward compatibility
for the less memory consuming final, plus the OCS downward compatibilityI wanted to see the demo on real hardware before judging.
+ Graphics is awesome and Slayer is the king for linear palette
+ Audio is ace
+ Code is smart
- Too short!!!!!!!
This is the best amiga demo for 2017, congrats and see you soon.

Best prod i've seen in a while! Thanks guys
OCS version works perfectly on Vampire with cores from 2.7 up.
What! The atmosphere in this demo is so insane! For a moment I thought I was watching a modern version of Desert Dream. The part where the music is synced to the white track sliding through space combined to switching back and forth with the ball scene is seriously one the greatest things I have seen in demos. The music works so well with the visuals in this scene. No need for text and messages to state your badass attitude!
Superb, magnificent visuals.
Stunning!
awesome shaders
Nope.
Oof. This one sure pushes the hardware.
Wow, that was something :D
nice prod. but running it is superweird in my case - a4000, stock 040/25 + 64mb mod.
crashes with aga on (both wb & sseq)
runs with only aga turned off @ bootmenu

Awesome, true Classic!!!
nice one
btw. someone could post YT for OCS
Blast!: The OCS version looks very similar. Just a bit more color banding and bit stronger dither. So probably you will only see more noise and artefacts on Youtube...
Cool show
yes
Very neat.
big
One of my favourites still
An awesome experience!
Beautiful. More OCS content please!
And i guess the future is now because it works nicely on an A500+ with emu68 (emulated overclocked to buggery 040+fpu)

Excellent! Glad to have noticed this one, although 7 years late.
