• unnamed-one: I don't have anything against evolution. I _do_ have something against being a pioneer of something different and then boo-hoo about lack of understanding, or point fingers. If the scene starts moving in another direction, that's great with me, but don't act like it's already at the new destination.
  
  Having these boundaries between types of productions is a Good Thing. It gives people a way to compare, understand and ultimately, evolve. Saying that stuff like this are not demos imho is giving them the opportunity to earn their place. Accepting everything under the same roof in the name of ... I'm not sure what, is just a way to confuse matters and bring anarchy to the whole picture; focus is lost, evaluation is impossible, and ultimately interest fades.
  
  Those I consider undebatable facts. :)
  
  In my opinion Chimera is not something new, the novelty is in all this controversy. Put some unknown people, or less voicy ones, behind it and it would have been fairly ignored.
  
  As for the people who say "demos can't be defined" and then talk about them having to be realtime, well... nuff said. :)

• demo Windows Untamed by Fuel
• Yeah a bit oversized but powerful and very cool to look at.

• This thing is not a demo by any standards - finding it beautiful or not is completely beside the point. It's a show of some kind, an audiovisual experiment, a "weird" thing. It should have gone into the Wild compo and nobody would think of disqualifying it.
  
  I don't intent to be some kind of zealot, but you must understand it, genres and styles have boundaries. There is a difference between 4K and demos because you want to have room for giving value to different things. Or should we just make Assembly a single huge compo because labeling productions with "types" or "genres" is degrading the art involved? On the contrary!
  
  - A game is not a demo.
  - A screensaver is not a demo.
  - An animation is not a demo.
  - A still picture with bubbling sounds in the background is not a demo.
  - ...
  
  If you find these assertions questionable, then we clearly have no common ground on which to debate.
  
  Make this into a 4K and I will be the first one to love it! Why? Because of the combined artistic+technical merit upon which 4K intros compete against each other (anybody remember "Rise" by Freestyle?).
  
  There used to be a time when "weird" productions had a place as "weird" productions and nobody had a problem with that. Don't bring your cat to a dog contest and complain you are left out.

• demo Linux Windows MacOSX PPC VARIFORM by Kewlers [web]
• I already thumbed this up, but after watching the rest of the assembly prods, I think this one is the best by far and should have been #1.

• Not much compared to heavyweight asm stuff, but quite honest.

• demo Windows Mother, Mother my ears bleed by mfx [web]
• I can't imagine what it must be to suffer this punishment on the big screen. I hope they disqualified it for sanitary reasons.

• Been a long time since I watched this one, but it was great. Win2K port anyone?

• demo Windows Liquid... Wen? by Haujobb
• They aren't back, they simply Cut'n Pasted old Visualice shit together right?
  
  Jokes aside, this is so derivative it hurts. The only conceivable purpose of the first part must be to make the second part look nicer, the black & white is butt-ugly. The second part is so forgettable I can't comment on it 5 minutes after watching it. Move on please, Visualice was repeating himself two years ago already!
  
  Music is nice but again, same old stuff.
