• A bit uneven but it's a good Electronic Journey. The end bit (after the music has ended, lol... Legend next time just add a few more bars =D) looks great, and the music itself is superb.

• The one thing I didn't expect was for smashtop to surmount an ASD megaprod, at Assembly of all places. "Justifiably" so? Barring personal taste factors either could've been a very deserved winner. What we have here is perhaps the ultimate tour de force of destop's aesthetics, and it works so well because the entire demo is shamelessly designed around small meticulously detailed and fine tuned vignettes. I think this is ultimately the reason it does so well; it simply plays to all the strengths of the team behind it and nothing more. Even the music—while being a bit forgettable and generic—works perfectly because it's carefully engineered just for this use case. You simply can't fault the implementation.
  
  Of course technically there isn't much to complain either. The chrome distortion looks a bit too discreet (you can see the channel separation, lacking a smooth blend), but that's about it.
  
  What you can do, however, is fault the concept itself. I'm not sure how I feel about the "commercial motion graphics" brand of demos (e.g. fluke, supermode, most ninjadev and destop demos). I think we've gotten to the point where we can do this well enough that it's starting to be difficult to distinguish in meaningful ways from the professionally made counterparts we're trying to emulate. It's made me realize I only liked this category because it was at the same time difficult to do but also somewhat attainable. But now that we are here it doesn't feel all that fulfilling to me, and I'm not sure I can get excited by something like this ever again.
  
  (There's also the advertisement issue that left a bad taste in my mouth post-compo, but I think it's been for now resolved reasonably enough that I don't need to talk about it here.)

• I kinda agree with plek but... to be real here, (B) is still the party that actually made a demo =)
  
  This is aesthetically quite a mess, but a couple of the effects were pretty, like the voxels, meta-objects, and the underwater part (which i guess was also voxels)

• 4k Windows Final Territory by Prismbeings
• Quote:

  Wonderful as usual, and inspiring also. The use of the word "final" in the title suggests that this is the end in this line of realtime gfx research, however I have enjoyed every single entry in this series and evolution. The acute sense of purpose and direction lead to a brilliant cohesion of finesse in 4k that I include amongst the highest of all 4k entries in recent times. I can't overstate how much I look forward to future contributions from you!

  
  It's not the end of the "research", but it's the end of this stylistic brand of 4ks from me, I think. There's some further improvements I could do perhaps, but they're such marginal improvements I don't feel they'd be worth releasing. A good demo after all is mostly about surprise and emotion, and I think these have run out of the former. I think this is a fitting end to these and I'm glad you enjoyed them! =)

• 4k JavaScript HBC-00016: Core Critical by ½-bit Cheese [web]
• It's a 4k intro. It stands out from most of the others. The geometry is elaborate and there's a proper attempt to construct a coherent environment.
  
  Still it kinda looks extremely strange though. The skybox (starbox?) is strange, the materials are strange, the object proportions are strange. The pacing and editing is strange. The synth is strange, which I think sadly is unavoidable on the "web" platform. Also the lack of any(?) tonemapping is a bit painful =(
  
  All in all though, great job on delivering on your promise from almost a year ago!
