Next level!! Yet to see properly, only saw the live compo recording

Amazing production in all departments. If I had walked in mid-demo without knowing what it was, I’d have assumed AGA and 030. Looks great, sounds great - both on the bigscreen and on my 1084. (Thanks for the disk!)
dope af. killer 1st track, 2nd great too.
Massive!
Badass! Crashing under WinUAE after the plasma part for me... and I'm 250km away from my real Amiga :(
Same as grip but it surely is OCS. Music isn't maybe my cup of completely but well done and fits. Have to watch more times to see if there's some inner meanings behind some moments.
It looks like the adf isnt done properly , taking in account the 80+ tracks this demo is using..
Live version here in the mean time:

Great new innovating ocs demo! Really like it!
(But… Bad release management imho ;)

Awesome 3D-effects, and nice music
What kind of sorcery is this?
Me la pone como el pescuezo un cantaor. Truly amazing.
What a great production! Worth waiting for. Excellent (hires) graphics, pumping music, fabulous design, much better pacing than e.g. Hologon, and very clever combination of move-table effects with grading bitmaps -- and of course, excellent use of the Amiga hardware capabilities (sprites on the hires gfx, turning the audio filter on/off, copper tricks including dynamic hires etc.). The new voxel landscape is fantastic.
Great stuff before Disk error track 80 atleast. Probably would anyway need an .ipf/.hfe image because i don't think standard adf supports >80 trax
Pure OCS magic! TEK sets the new standard to level: "Impossible" :) Great code, gfx, msx and design. There is no limit for TEK!
Yes yes yes yes!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

most probably there's some sort of copy protection. hoping & waiting for an actual floppy to turn up in the mailbox
Mindblowing!
Top-grade modern OCS demo! Too bad I am a few kilometers away from my A500 and I used an emulator to see just a part of this amazing show.
And, yes, that ADF image seems to be defective... But was that on purpose, you tricky cybernetic creatures?

If it's just for copy protection, maybe a custom sector format would better idea than just stuffing more tracks to a disk :)
next level in all departments.
Absolutely massive!
Impressive work.
This is an absolutely awesome piece of work.
Perfect!
nice
This was some really impressive work.
An OCS demo that looks more like an AGA demo.

Great work and design! (Aside from that horrible 1bit dither-fest behind the pixel tunnel ofcourse). Congrats on another great OCS Demo
The disk image dated today is incomplete and will freeze in an emulator (and very likely in an Amiga). I chalked up the freeze to emulation, but apparently it requires cracking to be preserved.
Great stuff! Dig the spheres in the torus.
Ignoring the mail-swapping idea and instead posting an untested broken ADF is neither very nice nor competent, though.

Incredible
couldn't believe it's a500
SICK. ACE.
When I thought that previous demo raised the bar enough... Just WOW! <3
Wow guys, outstanding production!
Cool demo
Hope a clean pdf is coming soon! Really want to see this in full!
Im waiting to see if a disk arrives sooon :D Looks tasty :D
Awesome work Bitfat, Nero, Krill, Okeanos - I enjoyed the Show.

I'm nice, unlike you. I'm so competent that I know copy-protected Amiga demos are unheard of, unlike you who by inverted logic claim it should be assumed from just being given a disk. It's more common to have demos working on a real Amiga glitch in emu, such as when I tested it. I've already asked to remove the download.
This is top notch stuff indeed!
Can someone PLEASE link to a working adf or exe, preferably on Scene.org?? The current link is absolutely USELESS!
Superb like all TEK productions!!!
Uber Cool! jaw-dropping stuff!
well I don't get why I shouldn't be able to watch this on my real Amiga, just because I'm using a gotek drive, but whatever. If one doesn't like their products to be watched, so be it.
BREAKING! Sceners all over Europe are waiting every day for the mailman, as if it's 1990....
video plz
Awesome!
Another great demo from you guys reinvigorating the OCS scene ! Thanks !
Yet another demo for A500 that looks stylish and absolutely very modern. Love it!!
Great work! Very stylish and polished.
Absolutely amazing job!
Someone tap me up when it arrives on a BBS
Photon sharing fuckings to 99% of modern demos that for common folks are pretty enjoyable and highlighting here he’s nice is a fucking laughter. Speaking so EON still wins. Back to this prod. I don’t know. Tech is definitively there, but we know bifat’s capabilities already. Nerdy ideas like snail swapping prods and copy protection are enjoyable to few and totally non-important and quickly forgotten to most. Fact is this prod doesn’t work in the environment most people watch amiga demos outside YT should be considered. There are many new interesting effects put randomly here, i miss coherent design that glues them together and I’m personally bored to see TEK signature reflections on objects in yet another prod. It’s Ok, i just expected more perhaps..
LINK IS STILL BROKEN!

Have you read any of the comments above ??? The demo is protected on a non standard disk ( >80 tracks ) and can't be ADF'd.
"amiga scene cannot into the amiga equivalent of 40-track d64, so lame :D"
Great demo in all departments, congrats!
Now about the drama, this demo belongs to TEK, they spread it the way they want, and I'm happy to have to wait. The longing is part of the experience, just like it used to be, and I must say I like TEK's breaking unspoken rules and expectations.

Hey, it could also be sold or licensed as commercial software! ;]
That's what these anti-copy mechanisms generally are for. Right?

mildly entertaining demo mainly consisting of recycling code and oozing arrogance, weak piggy.

No worries :) Thumbs up for getting them to expose their skills :)
Yet again an A500 masterpiece from TEK featuring awesomeness in all departments. Hope there will be more groups trying to push the boundaries of the A500 like this in the future.
And about the spreading of the release… The demo is out there and if you know someone who’s got a copy of it on disk it can easily be copied. Just start the demo and follow the instructions. It can be argued that this might not be the most effective way to spread a release in public, but spread in public it is :)

A resounding YES to funky disk formats and protections on demos - a sadly waning craft and - even better - deliciously futile, with the added bonus of giving something for old school crackers to get their teeth into.

Got the disk today. Superb prod imho with the best TEK soundtrack so far. Keep up the spirit. Thank you!
Looks and sounds absolutely fabulous. All this on a plain A500+512k. Hats off!
extraordinary ! love it :) please do more ! :D
Great as always from TEK.
The first part I kind of seen before but the last part is very, very nice.
Music is great too. Thanks.

nice, would have deserved more work on the transitions and coherence on the suite of effects, seeing how awesome the said effects are. good work.
This delivered on all levels. Demoscene FOMO vibe increasing....dinner is not ready yet, you'll just have to wait.
I ran this on WinUAE 4.9.0, it ran fine until the hoodie with the plasma, then flickered like mad and then froze. But I loved the effects and music until that point, and look forward to seeing perhaps a final version.
Incredible work guys and I very much enjoyed the inventive design style. Well done!!
A fucking great demo, but why the hell do you exclude all emulator users? We have to watch that glitchy live video instead, which really sucks. You cannot convince people to buy the original software. That tried many other people before. I don't understand that strange concept.

There's extended ADF, which supports raw MFM and additional tracks. Not sure if there are any easy to use tools available though.
Nice one. A500!
Got my disk to day. Teo brought it over from Gerp. Thanks again buddy.
What a great demo. And what treat it is to pop the disk into an Amiga and have the demo load. Needless to say that i would be raving if this whole concept really goes as far as someone providing a cracked ADF.
The demo itself is awesome. Although i have the strong feeling i have seen some of the effects before. Nero's graphics are once again astonishing. The music ties everything nicely together.

Dark but glossy, atmospheric. I saw some recycling but in a good manner. Seems I'll have to log in a BBS soonish just like hoffman.
Amazing!
as told to bifat few times during the party, killer demo!
effects, graphics, style, everything. even soundtrack is lights ahead of hologon's tune. progress in every direction.

Mm, you tricked me there. You made sure I got a disk on the party and you didn't say or indicate on the disk that it was different from e.g. Superspreader or Hologon.
I waited a few days for you to get home and upload and record, and then I tried and failed to what I thought was an emu glitch, so I uploaded it here. That was the wrong move. This is not a dedicated preservation site, and now scene.org is hosting a different file, also not working, which is as strange as this whole affair.
Weekend approaches, I'll have a look. My first guess from this was no cracking needed and extend adf by 1 track.
We didn't trick anybody into uploading anything anywhere untested.
We would have uploaded it ourselves, if we have had the intention to.
Have you received my mail? I outlined more options there.

@bifat a little notification when the demo started would have been at his place imho.. (like in the old days when demos started with “this demo cant be sold by PD companies”) only now than ofcoz about the amount of tracks and it cant be copied to a working adf in a standard way.. anno domini 2022 u knew people would try to make an ADF for digital download so a notification would have helped alot to overcome what now happened here at pouet.. (just my 2 cents..)
If you don’t have an Amiga, maybe a friend does? If your floppy drive is broken, maybe someone at an upcoming demo party has a working one in their Amiga? Is there an Amiga/retro computer user group in your area that you haven’t joined for some reason? There are many ways to see this demo that doesn’t involve ADF files. I’ll be at Syntax Society’s easter party in a week and Gubbdata later this summer. Let’s watch it together! And some more demos after that, and maybe share a beverage and then some more demos.
A single Amiga demo may perhaps not be worth a long journey, but friendship is. What a nice sentiment.

Perfect demo!
Waiting for some evil crackers to make it available for the rest of the Amiga users aswell :D
I think I will make a copy of the master disk when I meet the rest of the Gerp organisers next time ;)

Forgot the thumb!
Very happy to see all this amazing things happening on the A500!!! Hope we can see this thru our goteks soon... Excellent DEMO!!!
It works from external drives and almost certainly from Gotek. If Gotek is worth its money, it should be possible that the demo can copy itself from floppy to Gotek or the other way round.
@bifat i copied with your copy programme from floppy to gotek but the demo than crashes booting from gotek after 2/3 of the demo. (track 80 i presume is the cause)
Gotek is not just an ADF player. You can have all sorts of formats on them. Sorry for I can't give support, I've ditched my Gotek in 2017 or so.
Great effects but no sync, it's sad. I like the graphics like logos but not those "scan people gfx" put above the effects without any sense, like you have in 90 years demos. The musics are cool but like i've said, it's sad to not have sync with effects and music. The demo looks for me like a bit unfinished. Waiting the final prod, if there is one 😊
It should work fine with HxC internal format. Goteks can use HxC firmware.
As someone who have a rather large collection of old machines, and really likes to run things on the real thing, I find it a bit annoying that I can't run this.
Since I like to test run my own stuff during development on my Amiga 500, I have swapped the internal floppy with a Gotek drive. Runs my own stuff and just about every non-Tek demo just fine.
If the reason for the special disk format is somehow related to the actual demo, ie. if it fits more data than usual on the disk, or loads quicker or whatever, then sure, no problem.
But if the reason is some stubborn "everyone should run this from a real disk just because I say so", well, then I can't really agree with that.

In these days of Tiktok attention span fuckery this is a good thing....even for us old farts......to have to work for the prize.
But hoping for a WHDLoad version at some point ;)

Sdw: It's only a matter of asking the right questions, like: Scoopex, where is the promised crack? Or TEK, why I don't have a disk yet?
From an artistic standpoint I doesn't matter in the slightest if we're doing this for technical reasons. The demoscene is artistically underdeveloped, so we can get away with concepts concocted by Captain Obvious. :-)
Nikosidis: Your disk is on the way. :-)

I love you guys :D
So cool it is only for floppy and the service you are doing.
I will send you a package with 20 floppy disks if you like?
The demo is pretty solid, amazing how someone can achieve all this on a standard A500! But the copy protection thing, that makes the demo run only from specific floppies is a terribly wrong move imho. A final that removes all this copy protection crap would be most welcome. :)
The current ADF on the "download" link is "kaputt", according to the disk copy tool (F1). So how does one get a valid ADF of the demo, and what form is it in? An actual ADF file, or a floppy disk? I would like one, if possible, please.
The floppy release comes with a nice and glossy disk label. Why would you want to miss that out? Also, a demo that comes with an integrated copy program, a program to duplicate it, cannot be called to have a "copy protection", can it?
Foebane72: You can send a mail to bifat ett neoscientists piste org and request one. I've run out of disk labels today after handing out / sending 130 disks, so please let me know if you want to wait for one with sticker or if it's ok to get a unlabelled disk.
@Platon42, u commented on JP#19.. Better boot it again and read my release management article =)

That implies a real Amiga. I don't have a real Amiga, haven't had once since 1995. Are you saying that you're denying this demo to emulator users? Not everyone can afford or has space for real hardware.
@Foebane72: wtf? Bifat can do whatever he likes. He is under no obligation to provide anything to you.

What's with the sudden copy protection, when 99% of Amiga demos have never needed any? It's tantamount to DRM!
Great Demo. Thanks for the Disk. For the crack. There has to be a cracktro before the demo :-)
It doesn't matter what bifat does, spike. Eventually, the talented cracking scene will make the demo Transhuman available to all. It would just be a shame that you lot had to crack it against one of your own.
PS And why is it called by two names?

I sure hope so, and I don't mind that at all. Well, it's up to scene members to try new things, after all :)
zegzeg: It hasn't arrived yet? I think it would've been due today.

I fail to see why one should be upset about the copy protection. I think it's hilarious, and a good reference to the roots of the scene 😁
Got it, thanks!

Bifat: I understand that the main point was to delay online distribution, but I'm curious if you gained much disk space? It would be interesting to take the concept further, filling the disk with long tracks or something!
@Absence: We had originally employed a custom disk format, which would pack more than 1mb on disk. But after exchanging one music and experimenting on newer compression methods late in the process, the demo became much smaller, and in the last days we were constantly scraping on 80 tracks standard ADF. We came across we shouldn't limit the access just for the sake of it, but only for technical or aesthetical reasons. A late change in one transition that we deemed necessary pushed it over 901120 bytes again, which wasn't unwelcome as I like to corrupt planning in a situationist manner.
Quote:
more than 1mb on disk
if you had actually pulled that off you might have impressed some atari folks even, as it stands we just have to giggle a bit at the apparent incompetence of amiga disk imaging tools (and their users obviously). but for real now, even if you could find a drive that'll let you write that amount of data it's very hard to believe you could find any floppies that'd be able to hold said data. so calling bullshit on that claim until you back it up :)
In parts what Foebane72 wrote. Why? First thought was: It is an April
fool, isn't it? But I am not upset or peeved and I do not need a disk
as "trophy" or an runable adf as long as a video is provided. But
please, add an official video, i.e. one in a better quality since the
great music really deserves that.
Some words about the tech details for the man in the street would
be welcome as well.
Already liked Hologon but this one here isFat! More thoughts and
comments from my side are available on disk (giggling).
And where did I see that hydrogen fusion chamber before?

I guess you understand that what being done here make this demo extra special for everyone that collect and care about real hardware.
At some point emulation users etc. will get the cracked version.
You just have to wait :D
Is it not funny?
Emulation and using Amiga in modern times is supposed to be so fast and easy :P

oh no - the dreaded "more than 80" tracks copy protection. also what havoc said. And thumb up for the demo

Why? All things that matter have never been easy (before and now). Anyway, they might spend more time doing that fancy cracktro than actually cracking the demo. :]
If a crack doesn't appear after Revision, I'll ask for a disk.
I do like the idea of an edition for collectors of real floppy disks only.
And the team here is just amazing.
But I need to ask what the ADF drama is about ?
And is it true that the digital download breaks the software emulation ?
Or maybe it is just me that I have misunderstood the whole thing here.

Disk arrived this morning! Wasn't expecting this, thanks @bifat :)
I can hardly imagine anything remotely as important as impressing Atari people. :-) So here's the internet release: http://www.neoscientists.org/downloads/writetranshuman
Insert disk in df0: and run executable to install 74 tracks custom format version.
Among the benefits: Loading tends to be faster (so relaxing possible timing issues), better checksums, also spares some weaker tracks next to the spindle. Would be nice if borken download links could be replaced.

The internet release works fine with UAE if you create a Custom Disk to write the demo to, and note a standard disk.
(In WinUAE: Floppy drives -> Create Custom Disk -> Save -> Insert ADF-file into DF0: and then start the emulator and start the executable Bifat provided, which will write the data to the ADF). Reboot your "Amiga" and enjoy.

Now I've seen the whole demo, excellent work! :)
Solid prod for Gerp and worked well on the bigscreen! Familiar effects return, but again with refinement. The "Comanche" part is new, and returns at the end with some control of path speed and lookaround. I think the water/mountain colored version looks the best, even though that's maybe expected and normal.
I grumble a bit at the scrub at the end of parts to extend them, but my takeaway was, yes, more dither and squinty time again, but there are some ideas here, towards e.g. coloring and styling that can be taken in new directions, which I liked a lot. The design and pacing is spot on.
Well done! And I've lauded running on real hardware for many years, so now that I got what I wished for (well, I also care a lot about preservation) I've swapped a few copies to friends. :)

I've heard there is a working adf file now thanks to d vibe. ;)
nice
Speaking of preservation, it would be nice if someone with the >80 track "party version" on floppy could read it using wwarp or something (wwarp transhuman c 0-167). Unless it contains custom tracks, the .wwp file can probably be written back to a real or emulated floppy.
Fabulous - it really does feel like it's an AGA prod at times.
I just miss those quality gfx from Ozan
Great prod, great effects, especially terrain rendering :)
YouTube upload appreciated. Don't have an Amiga so mercifully free of the disk formatting drama.
Masterful production, gorgeous lighting in places.

About the ADF file, yes it works in UAE, but you probably won't be able to make a physical disk out of on the Amiga. I've only tried it once, and it rendered track error when I tried to run it. On the other hand you've got the real thing if you want to run it on the Amiga instead ;)
Oh... My...
You guys are nuts. Struggled a bit, since my main A500 has the Wicher500i card floppy would not write completely. Had to compress it, put it on a normal FFS floppy, and uncompress it on the A600 i had laying around which is more "vanilla", and write the floppy there, and run the demo there. Well worth it tho. Damn.

excellent, big respect! and big love! :D
great demo! I really liked the terrain rendering and the torus effect. the palette and attention to detail is present in all the scenes, there is a lot of screens (if not all) that have graphics in front or behind the effect, which is not really common and reinforce the fact that I'm looking at a late 90ies PC demo... on a stock A500!
ho and the musics are really great! :)
last word is that I think it was a bold choice to release this potentially winning demo two weeks before Revision :D
did you do you that because you wanted to support the compo of a smaller but more Amiga centric party?

A fresh demo! TEK are pushing the limits.
Great stuff in all departments
indeed this looks way more AGA than OCS, nice fx and pace
and a great soundtrack by okeanos, gotta love it!

Great demo!
yes
love the scene with the white hoodie

i don't know. it has some great scenes but somehow the music feels out of place for me with that style of visuals. oh well. oink :)
As regards Gotek and real amiga : using "writetranshuman" to write to a mounted emtpy HFE (rev 0) image works.
HFE file format is supported by FlashFloppy firmware.

I'd kindly ask every youtube mugger to remove their video captures of this demo. Only authorized (implicit or explicit) are spkr and magic. Magic didn't ask, but captured the live atmosphere well.
FS-UAE has support for EADF images. Thanks for the IPF and HFE files, though.
The official release version has been dumped from disk to raw on an Amiga using CAPS tools.
Track 80 is just AmigaDOS formatted and could have been on track 40 instead.
After transcoding, the resulting IPF is only half the size than the version linked above.
Thanks again to Bifat for supplying the original disk via mail. It sure looks cool with that glossy label!

Massive demo with a great atmosphere!
This is so awesome. I really love the first part. Second is also great. Seen the live video. Too bad the download link has been removed.
Really impressive for an OCs demo .

It turns out that WinUAE does support >80 tracks in plain ADF files after all. Other tools may or may not support it, but either way here's a working 912,384 bytes ADF of the party version extracted from noname's IPF.
TOPLEVEL CYBERPUNK JOURNEY!
That shiny red diamond in the middle part was really beautiful. Many parts didn't seem that different from many A500 demos I've seen but perhaps it's just my lack of Amiga education. I watched the live capture on YouTube as the author intended.
Got the release on disk in the snailmail today, thanks :)
I have been waiting for many years now for OCS to become the new frontier. And the Electronic Knights have masterfully taken up the journey across the uncharted lands of the Amiga's Original Chip Set.
Truly, you have earned your thumb.

Have the release on disk from bifat personally. And it's so fucking amazing good!

Link dont work

The company did take down two other captures, but so far refuses to comply with the copyright terms with this one.
@bifat Just got the disk in the mail. Really, really cool.. Many thanks my friend!
Can't load ADF on Gotek and real HW :(
Koney: The Flashfloppy firmware seems to support >80 tracks, so the non-extended ADF I posted of the party version could work with Gotek?
thanks Absence for the original version. works perfectly on fs-uae and
external gotek too (df1 boot and loading. even copied with xcopy to real
disk).

absence : thank you for your 912 384 bytes long ADF. It works on my gotek with Flash Floppy (on my real Amiga 500).
I'll remove my eADF from my server, since there's a better one out now, to stop confusion ;)
Wow wow wow, congrats !! This is so innovative & fresh !

Fantastic! love the way there are lots of subtly transparent design layers on top of many of the effects that adds color tints and detail. The texturemapped 3d is pretty mad. Just seeing 1 texture on a500 is impressive, but "multitexturing" was never seen before this one I think. Good use of bitplane hardware to add the textures together. At least that is what I think is happening.
Thanks so much for sharing full version. Can't believe that this is OCS.... Such another masterpiece from EK
OK.
Superb voxel and ... everythings !!! :)

Maybe you can implicit accept RDS his capture to. You won’t get a better quality capture than that.. His channel is highly respected in the demoscene..

Always liked his avatar somehow ;)

:D My 1440p50 captures are second to none and would soothe the dithering and present graphically the demo in the best way. For a decade now, I've refused to monetize (or become a Patreon beggar), mostly as a (very stubborn at this point...) test of how much the corporation hurts discovery by ransoming pay2win. This is because YT's success is from people uploading, without Google paying for their content.
Kick-ass demo! A heavy hitter on the big screen at the party!
The colours and design is right up my alley, and the pacing is very good. The music could have some more attitude tho, but that's mainly a personal preference.
It was also nice to meet bifat at the party!
Keep it up with this stuff and AGA will soon be obsolete.

No-go on A600+Furia020.
writetranshuman just spins as though it can't detect disk-in-drive. If I glitch the floppy by ejecting/inserting around the time it tries to seek, it will start writing and appears to write normally until finished.
Booting the disk acts like it loads in slow-motion, seeking/loading a block (or some amount that I assume must be less than a track) once every 5-10 seconds. Eventually it shows the splash screen and plays some audio, which eventually stops, then plays again after some more slow loading.
Both the writer and the demo/boot seem to seek the floppy in a similar way (by observed spin/seek pattern sound) so maybe some shared code is unhappy, just a hunch.
The live YT rulez anyway!

@Tron5000 : Seems censored by copyright , it worked fine until the last few days.
What an amazing demo!! For sure one of the best products of the decade!
Just watched it from my real A500 and the floppy disk that was mailed to me! :D

Loved what I saw of it, but sadly the disk copy I was sent has a disk error on track 67! D:

yeah already got the full version which works perfect on my real HW and also on EMU. As mentioned before... Masterpiece
...but the exe above allowed me to write it to a new disk :) Excellent! :)
Very stylish, cool music and nice effects. Great production!
Received my disk today!! Thank you so much, this means a lot to me.
Also this whole thread is so funny reading with the copy protection and so on.
TEK rocks bigtime! This is so retro 80s. Real floppies needed to enjoy the production. It did made me nervous also....since my gotek is DF0: and i happen to have an external drive DF1: but with KickstartRom 1.3 it's not possible to boot from df1 ;-) In the end i was able to create a copy using xcopy to the gotek drive. So this time i was able to boot....but like all here....it crashed after 2/3.
Enjoyed every minute of it!

One cool and slick prod that is.
Always a special moment when TEK sends you disks! Even runs on my 1200/060!
Very, very, very nice demo!
Runs flawless on 68010 equipped CDTV.

Amazing production. Crazy code, crazy graphics. First music fits and is good, second music is killer. Well done, guys!
My A500 got a nice surprise in the post for lunch :-) Really well put together, and I can appreciate the incremental improvements made to the effects some people have said we've seen before. Inspiring stuff!
I received the disk today I don’t know how to thank you guys personally but what an awesome surprise! A big thank you!! And what a masterpiece of a demo is this 🤩 Jasper, Hoofddorp The Netherlands
Watched it on my A1200 and it runs surprisingly flawless for an OCS demo. Awesome shit for awesome hardware.
The postman just delivered and the Amiga 1000 is happy tho show this unprecedented awesomeness! Thank you guys, once again.
Just finished to see it on my A1000, great production with very stylish visuals! I'm not crazy for the music but it's my just taste, surely fits the prod.
Utterly impressive! Winners don't use AGA. I've heard winners don't use Amiga at all!
The floppy distribution is such a sweet idea.

Is there still an option to order a disk with this demo in the mail? :)
solid production, well done
Absolutely love this; the style absolutely hits the spot for me.
cool
Massive!
yes, a very nice production from tek, as usual =)
Epic!
Solid showcase for what you can get out of an A500
Disk arrived today. Thank you so much @bifat
Defenders of the faith!
Great demo from Tek. Lovely gfx, sound and code. Nice meeting you at Gerp.
Blown my mind. A great one!
Ran it from floppy. Solid effects nicely linked together. Best soundtrack in any tek demo so far.
Unbelievable.
Yes
impressive!
Lovely, stylish OCS demo. And thanks for the disk. :)
amazing
The disk arrived - thank you so much @bifat and crew. The bar has risen...
supergeil, and thanks for the disk, that was a nice surprise
this demo is massive
An absolute masterpiece, I was in awe during the whole show at Gerp.
Congratulations guys!
Congratulations guys!
Amazing!
Well-deserved compo winner. Fine work, guys.
What a surprise... Thank you Bifat for the disk. Great production!
very solid soundtrack
I like how it managed to stay ahead of the Revision releases in the Top of the Month. First time ever this happened?
I'm cancelling my a600+furia bug report above.
Switched floppy drives and the demo loads fine.

Watched the youtube video.
All things aside, this is a great demo. Style, gfx, msx, code all play together and deliver a great experience.

brilliant modern demo
awesome mood.
love it :)
great
Absolutely *TOP* quality !
Totally dig the voxel parts, OTOH the table-parts have left me wondering because the total speed ( colors * num pixels * framerate ) seems to be at least 2x than other table parts I've seen everywhere else.
I hadn't seen this yet. Technically impressive.
Did not expect such a massive hit after Hologon. Some really wow effects and presentation ideas (e.g. the voxel entrance, the beautiful 3d mirrored group logo or the moving balls in the torus inlands, oh my...) and a strong technical vibe overall. Really like the music as well, so many styles and elements mixed into those!
I wish TEK would work put more a bit more attention to details/transistion/timing, but the strong tech department makes up for it anyway.
Must have been great to have seen this live.

some really great looking parts here! Music is a bit questionable but certainly high-quality, at least in the sample department.
bonne demo
