Video

Works decently with 3060ti (around 20fps) but for better experience something faster is required. Tested with both AMD (6900XT) and NV under Windows 11. Install latest Vulkan drivers.

NOTE: There is an issue with stutter/frame pacing. I will be looking to fix this, but might take few days. Also, last year there were some problems with fullscreen mode on some setups, and because i didn't really have time to work on this part, it is likely that the problem remains.

As always a great demo! Technically top of the league, beautifully given details, great atmosphere and music. A piece of good work, congratulations!

Simply mind blowing! As said at the party, I'm proud to act as a background in the same competition as Kiero!

Unwritten rules of pouet says : never thumb up your own prod. Given how little I contributed and how amazing the final result is (not using a commercial engine), I m breaking this rule

Watching this made me feel like back in the day when I was watching 195/95 for the first time - it's obvious that I'm watching high end computer graphics crafted with care and love, but at the same time it pulls you in in a way that's hard to describe.

I love how the entirety of the world feels organic like it is breathing and at the same time very "effect based". And it looks and sounds magnificent. If I had to nitpick something, I would've liked the ending to somehow provide more closure and/or context, and I didn't really like how the logo in the end brought it down to an earthly level somehow. A full-on mfx ending might've worked better from the dramaturgical point of view.

What a massive show.

Saw at the party place, simply mindblowing! Even better on the huge screen. Mad props to all that worked on the demo! Pushing the tech even harder each time.

Yes, masterpiece. Kiero proved (again), moving to PC was not a mistake. What a pleasure it was to participate in Xenium demo compo this year, and watch this!

I'm sorry, forgot to mention, this demo would not be itself, without great music by Chaser! 😘.

nice shaders and OK visuals (bit too unpolished (hihi) here and there) but above all the faux-kitsch like Trump's bathroom kinda didn't make this one stick for me. piggy!
Nice

Great music and splendid visuals. And great synchro.
But, despite its solidity, will not give a thumb cause the unwritten rules has been broken...

It is worth to use framegen (lossless scaling with LSFG 2.3), on RTX2070S demo goes in more or less 30 frames

Hmmm, not by design, but it does show there is an issue with video encode:) Checked the input video and it is fine, so must be youtube. No idea if you can reupload without pulling the previous one down, so because nobody seemed to notice i will claim it is a design.

Too much visual noise and nothing really memorable from the artistic point of view. Music saves it from total boredom.

Yeah, def' felt that, there's a lot of back-and-forth flicker between next-frame and previous-frame, and an insane amount of vsync tearing (RX8700). It also didn't quit on ESC or when the demo ended.

The demo is obviously far above the current scene standard, I just wish the music and the visuals would've agreed on a middle-ground.

Ok, so i finally looked into the sync code. There was a stupid issue which should be fixed. If you want to try this version linky it should be fine. Will run it through few people and if it is fine will upload to the proper location. There is still slight problem with the smoothness but this is probably from my internal timing code. VSync and weird jumping back/forth should be fixed.

Yeah that looks much smoother - still doesn't quit on ESC though ;)

I don't really know how to classify and therefore rate this demo.

At first glance, the look and design of the thing certainly look very nice and impressive.

However, the demo didn't really grab me personally, what I would call a cool scene demo.

At least when the unpacked size of 379 MB is reached, the scene spirit is gone for me. I think that this - and other demos of this size - simply lacks that certain something; and somehow ruins the image/feeling of the demo scene (small code, incredible technical tricks and effects/algos, etc.).

If I see correctly, the three EnvMaps alone take up 125 MB. And "streaky-metal1_normal-ogl.png" is really a 2048x2048 single-color blue texture?

Personal conclusion:
Overall, it's nice to look at; but unfortunately not more than that due to the resources required. (maybe it makes really sense to create a new category for this kind of demos)
