• @psenough: Very well said.
  @tomkh: I believe a tool should be an enabler, not a proof of concept for its own sake. Working with a tool is only fun, if it enables you to do something new or do it better. With our tool for now, this is probably tweaking parameters, animations and messing around with scene-graphs. Of course I would love to have more procedural modeling tools, but unless we have them, I'm completely fine with using the most convenient tool at hand. Likewise I build some textures procedurally in tooll (because it's more fun and allows for more control) but still paint sky-maps with a Wacom in Photoshop.
  
  And then again, who cares anyway as long as the idea and content are original and we have another demo-release? I think the only thing "wrong" with the demoscene nowadays is that are too few releases :-)

• demo Android d159
• Wow. This is so insanely polished and thought through. A shame I didn't miss it at the competition. Stunning work, indeed.

  what is perhaps sad about this is that it shows up many "coders trying to design" like myself for what we are: coders, covering up our lack of design abilities with technology, when we should have just dialed back and made proper use of what was already sat in front of us (if only we could).

  
  Now that discussion again. it's even worse than my argument. This implies that things are set in stone: I will never be able to write a decent raymarcher. You would never be able to nicely balance pace and concept. However, extrapolating from your last releases your design skill develop with scary speed. (Some is sadly not true for my understanding for compute shaders).
  
  @tomkh: Sorry about my earlier comment. This is was layover in Hearthrow does to you.
  
  @navis: So I can expect this for revision?! Now you have me on the hook!

  the demo manages to take you away for some minutes ...at work now and totally forgot about this while i was watching the demo...

  
  This quote makes my day.
  
  @tomkh: The complains about the triangles just make me smile. If you think demoscene is only about "technical depth", well that's a perfectly valid point of view. If you had any track-record, I might even agree. I'm personally more into the diversity of the scene. If a demo actually provokes Navis into writting any comment, the mission is almost accomplished. I'm really looking forward to his upcoming stuff.
  
  And of course I'm also looking forward to your upcoming release. Maybe we can have a beer at revision and you can show me, what you're working on. :-)

• demo Windows Photon by Fairlight [web]
• "boring flyby. lighting was okay." – no
  
  The concept is sooo cool. I would love if the photons would pick up surface colors and distribute like with a global illumination algorithm.
