What you expect and want to see in a modern 2025 and forward high end demo?

nah, I'm just saving the legacy whilst you sit on your lazy ass
kaneel is right though. "Honesty" is a perfect, almost taoist summary of what makes a demo good.
then the pride of holland and germany will rise again next year
*hugs kaneel* that wasnt meant mean you idiot!

Embedded custom-made AI that directly affects the demo in major ways, and an option in the launcher to not fix the random seed :)
Something that looks better than modern AAA videogames
gotcha, i mean my lawn looks better but what we got coming will make the crowd cry, puke, laugh, feel disgust and go wtf

Maybe more modern software rendering PC demos exploiting multi core and SIMD. Not sure what else would impress me.
State of the art GPU rendering is basically software rendering with multicore and SIMD.
Homage to the old days would be fresh and fun ... when have you last seen and actually made a "press space" demo on the pc? Need a consultant? Yeah, look me up - I'd love a little cross-dimensional co-op'ing <3

Mwa mwa
Technically speaking nothing much more that we can't already see in a 202x high end demo... But I expect creativity , nice colors, I don't know , maybe something funny..
As the tech is kind of without limits, i have no real interest in it then so much, so probably good music, handmade art and witty, clever new ideas and approaches might save it for me to be interested.
I expect a decent quality 4k@60 h265 video of the demo to be at least an order of magnitude larger than the binary because otherwise we might as well be entering videoplayers to the compos and the party audience wouldn't even notice.
I wanna see demos with effort and thought put into it.
That are creative, have a lot of well crafted assets, use the existing technology in a creative way, stuff like that. Demos that you can actually run on your PC without much effort.

Tracker/sequenced music instead of .mp3 exports

did it in 2023 and will do it again next year
but with content that will make ash vs evil dead look like a fairy tale
What I expect: abstract stuff that causes everybody to fall asleep
What I want: something that engages my brain

That.
Not everything has to be about pushing technical limits, etc.
Just work on what *polished* work makes you happy. Fuck what others want, fuck votes, etc.
EXACTLY IN THE END ITS ABOUT ZE PRIDE OF GERMANY!
I want to see emotions (but maybe not of the kind being demonstrated by plek right now).

Philosophical, but I generally disagree with the notion that art is supposed to be the expression of yourself. It implies an egoistic approach and that people should gaze at some aspect of you and be amazed. In my opinion, art should express something greater than you, and the artist is merely a humble vehicle of expression. This should also apply to demoscene art.
