pouët.net

Looking a year back what's been popular on pouet, the compo missed a few groups more than those mentioned: Kewlers, Traction and Synesthetics. And those who think they know that mfx==kewlers... Well, it's not :)

pouet popularity != actual quality ;)

oooh! what happend to modesty people!!! :)

Ok so what about party rankings? :)

I think one of those (pouet or democompo rank) is better than an opinion of one man (the one that decided which groups are in and which ones are out).

rainmaker: or maybe last year's scene.org awards or something would have been a good basis.

it's true though. not all of the 5 groups have been that active recently.

teh stravaganza-boys are in tokyo.. they prolly dont have time for secret elitist commercial democompos!!! :)

and it misses matureFurk

Future Crew too.

Speedfisters.....

JASOFT

How come no one mentioned Jumalauta yet?

because they would have won compo .. automatically

considering the number of voters, very likely yeah :D

btw, fairlight took the lead :)

actually, who in their right mind would want to "FLOP" *any* of the productions. Do you realise how strong the word "FLOP" is ?

It is for a world of black and white, allies & terrorists, capitalistic pigs & anarchists.

Yeah, go on flop our demos...

Navis: ours kinda feels like a flop, imho :)

I think it rocks, as I said in that email. I am getting to the website now I see that somebody has "defaced" it...haha


hey wtf we dropped 4 pixels since this morning how the hell. Optimus you fucker are you playing games with your netcafe army friends

Maybe Im slow, maybe its flash I dont know but will someone just tell me the link where I can vote...Ive been round that website about 6 times without success.

Forget it, I was looking for somehting dumb like ... Vote Here...found the link now

btw i don't want to sound bitchy but this compo is supported by intel to promote their dual core cpu, is there actually any of the competiting demos that takes advantage of multithreading ? :>

navis: woooo, we're neck and neck :) should be a pretty close call.

So, should Optimus be on a netcafe with his friends voting for the ASD demo? Is it like a fulltime job? How much do you pay Navis?

:)

since when do commercials have to be true? :)

I pay him in class-A drugs.

just uploaded the final version of tactical battle loop, will hopefully be moved out of incoming shortly.

it's now:
- smaller (5mb smaller, although i added a couple of mb of dlls just in case people dont have them)
- faster (optimised the shaders a bit, optimised the poly count, improved the loading time, fixed some texture sizes)
- uses a lot less memory (250 not 800mb) and a lot less vram, which should sort out your swapping and pausing issues
- longer (it doesnt end abruptly)
- improved (some extra gfx data added)
- cooler (widescreen mode added and 1280x800 screen mode added - watch it on a wide screen and get the full effect as it was meant to be seen, with no borders :))

so, hopefully this will address the comments about ineffciency and framerate. :)
