  It's mostly running well with very few parts that are not pefectly smooth.

  
  
  Optimus, which parts specifically aren't smooth enough?
  And is this only with the Trident ISA?
  (what card model? If it's a TVGA9000C, it can be overclocked (using software).

  )
  
  The sound card is GUS? (If Sound Blaster - better to choose 22 kHz mixing to avoid lag)
  
  Thanks for your attention to the demo :)

  bitl, if you would have written at least a couple of sentences of detailed, on-point critique, like you actually did a couple of posts later, instead of just dropping one judgemental word, i'm sure it would have been perceived differently by the prod author.

  
  
  But the barrage of swearing and insults only started after I explained my grievances in detail.
  
  I want to clarify: I don’t consider myself an advanced coder. Besides, I’m not an Amiga-coder, so stRAtOS! is automatically an infinitely better programmer than me when it comes to the Amiga.
  
  My complaints aren’t about the code, but about the attitude toward the release. And this isn’t his first intro, so you can’t say he just doesn’t know how things work. He simply seems to think, “It’ll do as it is.” No need to pack it in a zip, no need to include an info file. The logo can be roughly converted, with reduced colors (without any manual touch-up to restore the dithering that was lost).
  If there are ugly, torn lines somewhere - whatever, it’ll do.
  
  Do you really need to be a top coder to do things neatly and with care?
  
  So, I rated this product negatively not out of arrogance, but because I see sloppiness. The guy could have done better, but maybe he was just too lazy? Or maybe he was in a big hurry? I don’t know.
  
  P.S.: Does Castlevania AGA really need to be cracked?

• stRAtOS!, I’ve already realized that you’ve got a few screws loose, no need to keep proving it to me.
  
  I shouldn’t have even left my first comment here, I didn’t intend to start any drama. Too much honor, really.
  
  You can relax, I won’t be leaving comments on any of your other releases.
  
  Goodbye.

  Well, that’s it. Guess I’ll have to go live as a hermit in a monastery now.

  You want me to start critique your body of work?

  
  
  I can’t exactly forbid you.
  
  But you’d have been better off putting that much effort and mental energy into a good demo-effect.

  Please insert [rolleyes] here.

  
  
  "- your demo sucks."
  vs
  "- you're an asshole."
  
  There's a difference, right?
  
  In the first version, I don't think the author is crap. He might actually be a really good person. But even a good person can make a shitty demo :)

  bitl is fucking stupid

  
  
  You sound like my ex.
  
  P.S.:
  I don’t think you spent a lot of time or effort on this product (otherwise it would probably be better). That’s why your reaction to criticism is out of proportion. Be honest, how many hours did you spend working on it? You’ve probably spent more time replying in this thread than making it.
  
  There were times when people called my demos and intros crap, even when I really did put a lot of effort and time into them. It was hurtful, but I never started drama over it. After all, this is the demoscene, not Instagram with glamorous girls.
  
  And keep this in mind for the future: if no one tells you that your prod is crap, but no one really says anything at all (aside from a couple of comments), then most likely the prod is crap. People are usually just too lazy to tell you.

  Calling my production a screw up, who the fuck do you think you are, your are a small beeing, a small prick you are. Must be true helll, waking up everyday with that brain on your head and that personality, an reallly unsercure man. pathetic man!

  
  
  Why are you insulting me? I haven’t insulted you. I said that your cracktro is crap. And the Amiga’s limitations have nothing to do with it. This is my personal opinion, and I have the right to express it.
  
  You asked me to describe in more detail what I don’t like, and I did.
  But you reacted like an overdramatic kid and started throwing insults at me.
  
  And I didn’t even give it a thumbs down, lol.

  hi bit! what is horrible about it? the tunnel, the text or just everything? please be clearer, when instulting please

  
  
  - The tunnel is just a cycling animation (using a palette?), with rough, torn-looking lines.
  
  - The logo is just a damaged version of the 1994 logo (sloppily converted with reduced colors and without any further refinements). I wonder whether it was angelDawn who did this, or the coder?
  
  - I don’t like the music, but that’s a matter of taste. Besides, it wasn’t even made specifically for this release. Is the author even aware of this
  
  - The text. Well, to begin with, you listed the music author incorrectly. The font is ripped as well.

  i don't get the resentment here from bitl who is usually a very reasonable and non-troll-like poueter.

  
  
  dipswitch, I’m usually a nice guy. But I just don’t understand what is there to praise here?
  
  I would’ve stayed silent, of course. But I love the old Hoodlum cracktros, many of them are wonderful. That’s why this screw-up really set me off.
