• Really deserved the win. Quite different from some of the usual executable graphics and looked great on the big screen.
  
  The screenshot looks a little dark, but the hall also had lower lighting so maybe it just happened to seem a little brighter there.

• A part in the first half of the demo's soundtrack reminds me of Jamiroquai for some reason... inspiration?

  I found this extremely entertaining and (surprise!) fresh. Even though it reuses 90% of the foundation and assets from foo island, it still successfully delivers several thing which I feel are severely underrepresented in demoscene:
  - believable physics that is physiologically very satisfying to watch
  - engaging action
  - random ridiculous crap (e.g. Jesus Christ Motocross, or most of Tekotuotanto stuff)
  
  Archee, please don't stop!
  
  On a meta-note, I have trouble understanding the points which thumb-downers are trying to make. Especially given the fact that they come from people whom and who's opinion I respect a lot.
  For me, one of the most important parts of demoscene is making fun (even better if also amazing and unexpected) things with the code you yourself wrote. In this sense this demo is more "demoscene", than e.g. doing great design using commercial engines.

  I think demoscene is whatever people want it to be. If you decided to do a wild prod involving filming yourself doing extreme ironing (this is a thing!) for the laughs, sure, whatever.
  
  In general I think the scene seems to be about doing what you think is interesting, and perhaps exciting too, in connection with others. Sharing your desire to be creative, whatever forms that takes.
  
  "There's no accounting for taste." applies here. What's "demoscene" enough will vary by person, or by quantity perhaps. (If everyone produced extreme ironing videos and nothing else, then I'm sure it'd get decried as unscene.) I don't particularly care if someone uses a commercial engine because maybe the results are really enjoyable. In the case of Poo-Brain, they started out with Unity and used that introduction to push themselves to do some really good 64k productions.
  
  For a group that seems to want to be quite inclusive to keep itself going, marking things like this or that as more scene or not seems to be rather exclusive.

  I love how the same guys that are bashing this prod are mostly known from boring planet flyby's and boring "supposed to be dramatic" static scenes with slow camera movement or over-stylized abstract non-sense.

  
  Why do you love that? Like, are you implying there's something supposedly hypocritical or logically inconsistent about this?

  I don't think it's inconsistent; only if there was a cases where people did the reverse and just singled out archee.
  
  To be honest, while it seems like the demo was fairly well done, I find it rather boring. The music is good, but it just sort of invoked an "Is it over yet?" feeling to me.
