- I had waited to watch this so I could really see it first on real hardware and CRT instead of YouTube/emulation. And I have to say the demo exceeded all expectations. This is an awesome team effort.
It's a bold move to use Graphics 10 for most parts. But sacrificing some luma to add chroma works great throughout the whole demo. It really makes the difference compared to the chunky effects of the 90ies. Using PM to increase the perceived resolution and overlaying Graphics 9 parts with player 5 missiles to add colors are very cleverly used.
The subpixel/texture stuff is just beyond everything I'd ever expected to see on the A8. Once more, it shows that adding people from a different background adds new ideas. The pseudo-3D bars with all the different forms and color schemes make the Atari chipset shine. Jay Miner would definitely approve of this demo.
Having the additional pixel GFX cut scenes and different soundtracks makes it all great journey. I watched it twice in a row now and does not feel like 18 minutes at all because there is just so much and many things are just on screen for few seconds. Esp. thanks for providing a mono version as my 1 MB machine does not have stereo.
I understand the end party does not loop because it was released for the party and needed a proper end. But that is really a pity, as the end tune gives me goosebumps. I guess it was done by Makary, his tunes tend to cause this with me most of the time.
Overall, the demo throws me back to my 20ies when there was unlimited time for coding Atari stuff and breaking limits. Pitty, there never were A8 demo groups here in Germany, and so nowadays, I have no teammates to do such things anymore. And so (as evil wrote above) I hate you for releasing something that cannot be topped unless you gather 30 coders/graphics artists and musicians for one year - but I don't write that publicly, of course, because you had me in the greetings ;-) - rulezadded on the 2024-08-01 01:33:24
