- :D
kitschiest 32b ever? - rulezadded on the 2016-07-22 20:22:35
- 4k Windows Associations by Paraguay
- Subtle minimalism with clean muted colors. The closeup to the gradient added a nice flavor. Some of the syncs I would've dealt away with, and definitely would've put the more lowkey instruments higher up in the mix. Otherwise a fine entry to the realm of native intros :)

- demo Windows Almost Infinite by Logicoma [web]
- "Futurebreed"... For real? Who comes up with these :)
Cool little thing, punchy direction. It's simple but I much prefer something akin to this to a complicated mess. Not something I would make but solid! Good use of mirroring ;) - rulezadded on the 2016-07-18 01:23:51
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Kaimana by Insane [web]
- Fine for what it is, a small traditional OCS demo. Not something I'll probably ever watch again but this thumb is for the dedication.

- 8k invitation Windows Vikanim by Loonies [web]
- Does what it says on the tin. Small thumb for cool instruments (and overall enjoyable albeit cheesy music) and the runes.

- demo Amiga AGA Neonsky by Ephidrena
- On one hand: new eph amiga! On the other hand a bit mild on every departhment... effects/visuals, design, audio. A lot of clashing and bad palettes, though some good as well. Little synergy with the music, just random effects. I dug the music for the first half but then it just lost its grip during the second, though this was partially because of the slight mood change which wasn't reflected in the visuals. Feels like a "B-sides" collection from various other demos.

- demo Windows Terminal 7 by Cocoon [web]
- I'm a bit torn honestly... again... The engine still obviously rules*, but I can thumb up the engine itself only so many times. Nothing wrong with the graphics either, in fact most of it looks spectacular. I can't even fault the colors or color grading this time, ace all around.
My problem is how all of the content is used. The cameras either don't make much sense or are utterly dull, just rotating around the subject placed on center of screen or flying directly forwards. Then there's the flying through the tunnel with jarring flashes and cuts. The penultimate scene with the ribbon formations is superb though, almost alone redeems all faults. The hyper fast pace is somewhat refreshing too, though still by far my favorite recent cocoon demo is pretty much the antithesis of this.
I'm also not a fan of the mirroring at all. I get it though, I use it too, but I don't think it does justice to the visuals. I feel the trick works best when you abstract it away well enough so that the underlying visuals become indecipherable, but here it was just from time time time slapped on top.
The audio didn't do anything for me. Just cheese in one ear and out the other. Not a bad track in its genre though, I've heard far less memorable examples.
All in all big thumbs up for the graphics work and overall visual quality, and for now a large "meh" for the presentation side. Might change in the future, but I'm too irritated at the moment. I do enjoy this quite a bit more than the Revision demo though.
(* well, if it worked, I don't recall being able to run any of the modern Cocoon demos, all crash with a segfault or something similar) - isokadded on the 2016-07-18 00:27:15
