- I think the loader is fine, actually. With Wine 5.0.3, the entry decompresses and launches just fine. But the D3D9 implementation still isn't ready for it; on a clean WINE, you get an unspecified ”HLSL parse error”, and if you pull in d3dcompiler_47 via winetricks (wine d3dcompiler_47), you get graphics where the landscape is all flat. Somehow, the camera still moves, though, so I guess there's something broken in interpreting the vertex shader outputs or something.
Also, after 12 years, I have to admit I was wrong. This intro is amazing :-) You already have my thumb-up, though. - isokadded on the 2021-04-22 19:17:16

- A nice little show with fitting music.

- demo Amiga AGA The Martini Effect by Flex
- @farfar: It's entirely fair. :-) Maybe I just intuitively deconstruct them more than most, it's nothing new that my preferences are often at odds with the general sentiment. (I often find that if I take a demo I like and deconstruct it afterwards, it's even more fun. A good writeup will do the same.)

- demo Amiga AGA The Martini Effect by Flex
- Hm.
As usual, I will take up the grumpy “I don't get it” role. I watched this at the stream, and then a few times afterwards; to me, it looked like a fairly ordinary run-off-the-mill 060 demo. (The music doesn't resonate too much with me.) It's basically a bunch of images with zoom in and zoom out, and sometimes stretched onto a cube to make an environment-ish background. (Infinity zoomers are nothing new, right?) Nowhere had I imagined that it was intended to look like raymarching on the Amiga, so even the “nice trick!” part doesn't apply; it doesn't even look like it's trying to fool me.
So what's left? Well, there's the polyfiller which can seemingly bump and antialias (but not texture, I would suppose, since that's hard on a palette display?). So that's a good achievement, but it doesn't make the demo for me; it's used for the 3D image in the screenshot, and there it works reasonably well, but it's just a static model being rotated around. And it's used in the image of the falling man in the ocean, but there it doesn't work at all for me; it just looks ugly and artifacty.
And then it tries to conceal all of this by blinking a lot. So, well, it's not a bad demo by any shot, but I don't understand why people are such in awe? - isokadded on the 2021-04-09 16:16:01

- What spike said. I'd love for this to be fleshed out, but when you don't have more content, it's good not to try to stretch it.

- Whoa. The foliage (I guess it's somehow raymarched clouds colored green? =) ). So nice. Best of compo for me.

- demo JavaScript Color by Ninjadev [web]
- Best sync in the compo! Fun to see Ninjadev go a bit hard-in-your-face and not _only_ happiness. I love the prism effects. But it's less visually consistent than the previous stuff. :-)
