Great intro, music and atmosphere!

Awesome light-effects. Great to see something new from you. :)

That's a 64k? Simply unbelievable
rulez added on the 2017-04-16 08:50:17 by Emufr3ak Emufr3ak
The first half was absolutely breathtaking, with great visuals and direction and a lot of "wow" moments for me. The second half unfortunately couldn't live up to the first half IMHO. One thing in particular that bothered me was that from some point on, the lack of (illusion of) water in the visuals made immersion very hard for me (no pun intended).

Still, a great 64k nonetheless!

some nice content, but then i also have to second kylearan..
rulez added on the 2017-04-16 11:48:24 by toxie toxie
This was very nice, but as noted by Kyleran, I also noticed the "underwater effect" seemed to disappear in later part of the demo. Might have been nice to keep it, but perhaps it interfered with the ability to readily see the effects of those parts, as they did look pretty clean.

Great until the temple-part.

The first part with submarine lights was AWESOME. The part after, not so much. Still worth a thumb.

Fantastic atmosphere and underwater scenes and the music gave me goosebumps!

"Everyone else goes to space, we'll go into the deep!" :) Everything from after the submarine/pod got deep into the water and until the red light show started was fantastic. Really nice ambiance, looked great. But after that, it quickly went into "3DFX DEMO"-country, unfortunately :/

very nice idea, liked the underwater trip and greek temple

It's just the last scene with the armies that ruins it . Otherwise , very nice .

Some really awesome scenery in the beginning, but you left me with something that looked really rushed in the end or something you gave up finishing?!
added on the 2017-04-16 20:21:44 by maytz maytz
beginning and last underwater scenes were great. the flashes scene with the music gave me goosebumps.
why that ending?

First part was awesome. The last part wasn't so cool either, but all in all it rulez :)

ok but not very underwaterish to me
added on the 2017-04-16 21:08:06 by comankh comankh
This intro had so much potential. As Kylearan and gloom said, first scenes were just "wow". Could easily be one of the best if not...this unrealistic ending with plastic soldiers.
But I think I get it, you probably run out of time to polish all scenes - that is why it came as a mixed bag. I usually do the same mistake. I guess if you would actually just remove some scenes it would be still a very solid 64k and actually much better as a whole. Great job nonetheless !

really impressive and worth a big, fat, solid thumb nevertheless :)

Very impressive demo, some great visuals during the submarine shots (reminds me of 3D mark 11).
I especially liked the music throughout the whole demo, very pleasant to listen to.

Great performance too! I had a steady 72FPS through most of the demo, and even 144FPS in some scenes (at 1080p with a GTX970).

Unfortunately the part after the columns start glowing red doesn't hold so well anymore, it's not as impressive graphically in both technical and aesthetic sense. IMO these shots would work better if they weren't so wide angle and instead were much tighter, and had some DOF. That would hide some imperfections while being aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Still a very solid demo worthy of a thumb up !

loved this, especially the first parts were very beautiful.
i can hear a final version calling :)
rulez added on the 2017-04-17 17:22:18 by gopher gopher
The early underwater scenes were so very pretty. Are the volumetric lighting effects done with raymarching? They are so smooth and noise-free.
rulez added on the 2017-04-17 18:07:09 by cce cce
Thanks all for the feedback. Your comments are very useful! There seems to be a consensus, and I agree with it. We're going to work on a final version and hopefully address the issues in the 2nd half of the intro.

absolutely beautiful.

Not sure if the CNS logo on the floor of the temple was intentional or not, but we're flattered. :)

A ton of content. Beautiful one. Drunken me thought the whole way through it was a lego prod because of the aesthetic of the wee sub :D Loooved the glowy stuffs in the trench! Ossum.

some scenes looked really good, but others felt unpolished. rushed prod maybe?!
rulez added on the 2017-04-18 17:59:57 by psenough psenough
Very enjoyable to watch!
The "headlight flares/streaks" were maybe a bit too exaggerated. As the trident and columns light up at 2:18, maybe the whole scene should have looked brighter.

starts off strong but then the procedural nature of the visuals kinda show too much through.
added on the 2017-04-19 01:25:29 by maali maali
It's a shame that this intro had to become a textbook example of how you can break a prod in half by suddenly trying to show too much, because the first half is a masterful build.

I also liked the cns logo, and the Gaia Machina feel. Send the army on a rampage in the final! :)

Looks and sounds nice, specially the first half but the second half wasn't too bad either. :)

Going to postpone the thumb until after the final. Couldn't shake off the "something is wrong/missing here" feeling, which was a shame because I came to expect Ctrl-Alt-Test prods to be very accomplished. Best of luck, guys. :)

First part was kind of wow! but the second half was weaker. Anyway it's still an impressive work for a 64k

First part was great with so much mystery. But then you gave the key, don't make me understand.
rulez added on the 2017-04-26 19:49:35 by ponce ponce
Waiting for a final. The second half really killed the Immersion for me...
I think the biggest problem with the ending is that there actually isn't any proper lighting in the scenes. At all. The shots in the beginning were beautifully lit and framed, and then suddenly, boom, back to the early 2000s it is. Also, the music should have reflected the change in scenery more.

Apart from that I really like the mood and the soundtrack.

As promised, here is the final version: H - Immersion (final).

There were some sizeable changes made to the intro. We're happy with the result, and we hope you like it! Thank you for your patience and sorry it took this long (I blame TIS-100).

Also, happy New Year. :)

Great final :)

The music reminds me of Time by Hans Zimmer, the ending tune from Inception. Both have the same gorgeous chord sequence!
rulez added on the 2017-12-31 18:22:11 by xTr1m xTr1m
The party version felt super uneven. The final fixes all its problems to a satisfying degree. I still like the first half a lot more though. Those cold distant chords and pads are still so very haunting, and I love the underwater lighting. The big picture is still slightly off—again especially towards the end, like camera angles and movement—but it also has a lot of nice little details like the metope on the temple.

Nice story and lots of nice visuals in here - glad you made a final! I'm with noby in that the second half doesn't feel half as polished as the first, and the geometry in the end feels rushed. Still a solid prod and well told.

A lot of great content in this 64k : textures, shading techniques, 3d models.
The direction is near from perfection, classic Ctrl-Alt-Test quality!
The music fit perfectly also.
I doesn't remember the party version, but the final one is awesome!

We didn't use it as a reference at all but, thinking of it, those images were such a part of our audiovisual culture when growing up, it likely had a strong influence indeed.
