I made it and I am proud of it. Some say it's to fast paced, I say it got beat.

numerous fx (some at that time unseen on falc), and moves along fast! somehow has a good 'vibe'. i love it :)

ugly colors, poor gfxs, centered boring objects, bad music

It seems Zone has seen another demo than I have. I just couldn't see his criticisms.

one of the best newschool demos.. the effect combinations were really new in 2001! I personally dont like the music much though.

Really nice (plus all of the above positive comments :)

A great demo with lots going on. Had the misfortune to go up against both 'Hmm' and 'Don't break the Oath' at EIL 2001.

Another one of the very well designed Falcon demos, cool music and impressive effects!

Well, generally it's a very good demo and worx pretty well on unexpanded Falcon 030.

Oh yes, this is a great one (in every aspect)! One of my favorite Falcon demos!

Very late 90's / early 00's. Looks and sounds cool and nostalgic.

It's surprising how underrated this demo is, even after 20 years. It contains an unprecedented amount of effects appearing in one screen at once, despite its low (160x100) resolution colours are so well chosen that you barely notice it and it's fast, really fast, even on plain 16 MHz 030.

Not to speak about quality of some effects, many of them were unheard of in 2001. I think it was really unfair that it ended up third, especially behind "Don't Break The Oath" which does exactly the opposite, it requires 030@50 MHz to display classic effects and 3D objects, only in 320x200.

I gotta follow mikro's remark here. This is a lovely demo with a lot of content, nicely paced with some nice code in there. I enjoyed it! Fun to see earx's Atari logo from dunebug (I think).

That's indeed a nice one! Great pace, effects, and up-cheering dance
floor music. In particular, I like the fish scene with the light artefacts
on / in the lens of the camera.

Thanks for all the kind words, I am indeed still very proud of this product. Even though it really is a three-trick pony:
1. A polygon routine that can write every other byte using the (a7)+ trick.
2. An 8-bits color index + 8-bits luminance frame buffer with a "to 16-bit true color" lookup table.
3. A Lightwave 3D object and scene reader ;).

From there I just tried to come up with as many different things to do with it as possible, and painstakingly hand-coded timing tables to sync it to the music.
