Nice one! The rotozoomer credits was the clear highlight doe me, cool idea! Looking forward to more Mystic Bytes productions!

Thanks but even though I'm the author of the rotozoomer, I want to emphasize that this is not a Mystic Bytes production, most of the effects are coded by Sedma. I have updated readme.txt in the archive so it's clear who did what.

Personally, my favourites are effects where Sedma completely (Doom) or nearly completely (Voxel landscape) avoided C2P, that blew me away.

Btw the idea comes from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJRz1VcuVEg&t=168s, I wanted to implement also the waves but you know how it is, out of time (no pun intended).

great, nice landscape

Most impressive effects, nicely presented in fresh ways (e.g. the usage of nice and untypical Voxel maps) or even yet unseen on ST/E! And that Doom part is so strong, as said feels like Falcon at times. Awesome work all involved!

Quality prod!!

Love the clean and crisp music and the attention to detail in many of the screens! While the effects (that Doom effect, wow!) are strong by themselves, the storyline and presentation make them even more interesting and enjoyable. You guys have spent a lot of time on this one and it certainly paid off. Great stuff! Thanks!

Thank you all for a wonderful adventure. Working with you guys was a pure pleasure. Thank you very much for the positive feedback, especially when it comes to graphics.

The music and especially the graphics destroy the system! I look forward to the next even better production!

Wow, that's pure codepron from start to finish. Impressive texture mapping for the hardware, wolfenstein, voxel. I like how the rotozoomer/floor mapper is used to convey galaxy and black hole thematically.

Nice!

Very nice! Almost like the A500 :)

oh boy, that was great with many original ideas!

next time perhaps not frozen the FX during the fade out? :p

I like this very much. Highlights for me: the galaxy, the landscape and the credits. Doom's cool too, but less pretty. I'd be curious to read a write up on how it is coded. The graphics and music are nice.

Although I personally don't like the use of a hard drive, if the zip listing is correct it seems it's only used to stream the music, and the rest would fit on 2 floppies, which means it's not just pre-generated code, and therefore is damn cool.

Bravo!

The Doom part is excellent, and I also really like the creative use of offset map type effects.

I really do personally wish, however, that a little more time (and RAM) would be given to thinking about flow and design in these "big" HDD/4mb productions, rather than (I guess) the focus very firmly being on showing effects. Imo the flow is really adversely affected by the way many of the effects just abruptly stop/freeze.

A quick note about the music in this demo: the version in the production is downsampled to 25kHz. The original track (44.1kHz) is available on SoundCloud (link in production description) and YT. I also noticed an alteration made by demo coder in one part of the music, which I wasn’t informed about or asked for approval. Unfortunately, this change disrupts the chord progression. Just wanted to clarify that the original, unaltered version is available for anyone interested. Thanks for understanding!

Excellent in all departaments. Top notch code, gfx and soundtrack. Hats off! One constructive feedback: syncing with music could be better in some places. Anyway, if someone would tell me it is a Falcon demo, I would still it is a good one.... but it is STe!

Some REALLY cool effects!

I wonder if the 4MB RAM + 15MB HDD requirements were an early decision or out of time to squeeze this all into a 1-2 floppies trackmo with DMA audio repleay a la Brain Damage.

very nice

Massive and outstanding!
Another Falcon demo on STe!
Thanks a lot for all the good work, I really appreciated this demo.
I uses lots of disk space, but who cares because that's not AI "art" ;-)

I loved it, in all aspects
