• I certainly have high expectations on future releases from the people trashtalking the tech behind this.
  
  I like the comparison with Hardwired, because it well illuminates the key difference between a demo like this, and a demo like that.
  
  Hardwired is all about the tech, and it's very explicit with what's happening at every point in the demo. Don't fully grasp what you're seeing? No worries, there's a text on the screen summarising the technical details of every scene, to make sure you don't accidentally miss a coding achievement.
  
  In Eon, the tech is not part of the showcase, except indirectly (though I could argue the cube was a bit explicitly showy). Immediately after seeing this I thought of Booze Design's 2005 gem of a demo, "Tsunami", which some people had similar complaints about. "Where is the tech??". Of course it was there if you knew where to look, but the demo was so mature and confident it didn't feel the need to focus on each and every transgression of made limits, instead relying on understatement and subtlety to convey the achievements to those who would get it.
  
  As I recall HCL eventually posted a list of all the world-first and records in the demo which seemed to dampen the "wheres mah tech??" criticism somewhat.
  
  But just as an exercise, why don't the good Amiga coders who've complained about the lack of technical achievement here (I've seen a couple of you) just get together and release a proof-of-concept demonstrating that this sort of thing isn't hard? Should be a fairly quick effort, right?

• Totally insane achievement. Best Amiga 500 demo by far. Even more powerful when seeing it today while sober.

• Nice demo in a bland compo. 3D in general doesn't seem to "work" for me; I can see it all right, but I seldom feel it adds anything, at least when just watching stuff.
