Thank god the music wasn't disco trash! The music was actually really great and the end pic was amazing!

Undisputed winner in my opinion!

I liked the drive toward the cityscape. The music sounds a lot like an homage to AxelF. I'm not sure if it was intended for us to notice that or not. I actually wish the music were a bit more 80's.. with very pronounced clapping samples and such.. and perhaps it would be nicer if it had more energy and changes in it. Anyway, a nice demo :)

Soundtrack is way too amiga and some of the scenes are a bit dull, but a couple of cool pieces of graphics and a few more interesting scenes keep it on the positive side. And I like cheese anyway.

Rulez but I do feel there's something missing... Maybe it's the music that didn't do it for me? I don't know. Visuals are very traction-like, nice demoish shapes, cubes, triangles, ribbons... the works. I adore the post processing, reminds me of fairytale a lot. Of course, this is an instant thumb up, but still... didn't do it for me like fairytale or 2^5 and other traction demos.

Pride&Facet back into business alone makes me thumb this up.

Nevertheless its pure traction style..
Perhaps work on 1 demo for 6 months
and make a true legendary demo (like lifeforce) for the demoscene. You have for sure the people in-house to do so..

rulez added on the 2007-08-21 18:47:27 by Ger Ger
packed with fun. the "road" part seemed a little doubtful though, and the chamfer-cube wasn't up to my taste (i don't like reflections at the corners). but still a consistent demo. i somehow feel that you got more throttle give.

wtf :( Tried this on a on-board nVidia 6150 with latest drivers. Windowed mode complained about some missing extension which my memory has lost track of ( atleast not EXT_frame_buffer_object). Fullscreen started but rendering looked like crap, looked like render-to-texture was totally wacked somehow. Must test it on another computer, I totally love Traction style!!

Seems the blending is all fucked up with this demo when I run it on my 7600GT, it looks the same as the screenshot posted by Zoom.

Any idea how to fix this? (yes, drivers are up to date...)
Ugh, I would need access to an nvidia card.. I'll ask around. The blending is fucked up in other scenes as well, right? Could you please send me a screenshot of some of the other scenes?

Not really my style, but I think it has its moments. Didn't like (nor really dislike) the music, though. It's either too mellow or too hollow, dunno which...
It congratulated me with about 20 message boxes on startup, all saying "succeeded to create a shader for hardware processing". Good to know! (Radeon HD 2600 on WinXP)

Did not really like the rest. Hadn't I known it's Traction and Brainstorm, I'd think it's some newbies doing glow plus alpha blending all the way. Cheesy. Does not have the magic of other Traction demos for some reason.

I wish the concept would've been taken further since now it stopped at the "neon & glow" level without any bigger story. The rain puddle scene was lovely.

The rain puddle and the cube were the first scenes to be done and then it just took off from there. I think there's some nice audacity here, to just make random stuff and publish it. I agree that it could have more to it than just neon & glow, but then again it's an Eighties synth disco demo thing, and Eighties synth disco wasn't exactly the pinnacle of concepts :D

Also, there were plans and a soundtrack for a third part but it never materialized.

What legend and cce said. I don't really like synthpop demos in general either. The last effect looks great though.
