- demo Windows JavaScript Hallmackenreuther by Top Right Bottom Left [web]
- We just realized that we forgot something: The PAL shader used in the beginning is not our own invention but a ported and modified version of https://github.com/libretro/slang-shaders/blob/master/pal/shaders/pal-singlepass.slang.
We meant to mention this in the readme and then promptly forgot in the omg-compo-is-upon-us shuffle. We're sorry about that. - isokadded on the 2023-10-03 15:29:33
- demo Windows JavaScript Hallmackenreuther by Top Right Bottom Left [web]
- In case you're wondering about the "bundled with electron" link that appeared above - it's a fallback for if (when?) the Windows web view evolves out from under the demo and things break. It's 100MB because it includes a known good version of Electron; in most cases the 20MB main download will be fine.

- 4k Windows Nox Urbem by LJ
- This is not just an incredible amount of content for a 4k and a lesson in atmosphere and polish. If you consider that LJ made this at the party, while we were finishing Hallmackenreuther together at the same time, this is nothing short of a miracle. My hat's off in deference, good sir.

- demo Windows JavaScript Bouncer by mfx [web]
- What a fucking BANGER, both soundtrack and visuals wise. I love how it gets crazier and crazier over time.

- demo Windows The Legend of Sisyphus by Andromeda Software Development [web]
- It's hard to add anything new to the gobs of comments in here so I'll just say thank you :)
And thanks to Sesse for the huge-ass UHD capture; between my old GTX1060 and craptube it was just what I needed to properly admire the demo at home! - rulezadded on the 2023-08-26 16:32:00

- demo TIC-80 AssemblyTV Megademo by The Practitioners of Lua Megademos
- Very nice! The amount of work in here is amazing, and I recognized most of the prods you referenced too :D I found the constant channel switching kinda jarring after a while, but I see how it's instrumental to the style you chose.

- demo Windows mechasm by Fairlight [web]
- Technologically it's super impressive and pretty looking, but feels more like a series of disconnected Notch operator showcases with a common theme to tie them together, rather than something that tells a story. I approve of the message but I don't see a lot of connection to the visuals beyond the text on screen.
My favorite scenes were the robot running away towards the camera, and the final scene - I could connect to them emotionally. The rest left me rather cold beyond the impressive visual polish.
This is just me and my preferences though; the tech sure is impressive and I can't wait to see other prods made with it.
Quote:The fact that this is not just head-and-shoulders but complete generations ahead of what the "average" is in the scene nowadays, and then Smash has to RATIONALIZE and DEFEND it is just beyond disheartening.
Most of these comments sounded like constructive discussion to me, and I don't think even Smash is beyond that. Apparently the presentation made it hard for some people to comprehend the magnitude of the technical feats so I think the discussion was appropriate. It sure helped me understand.
The demo being 1gig when it could be 400mb instead feeds right into my pet peeve of people being needlessly wasteful with computer resources because "it's <this year>, disk/cpu/memory is free!" - but that said I understand that tradeoffs were made and I don't think a great prod like this should be rated based on file size. If someone really cares at this technical level the effort put into the visual tech easily outweighs the waste of space. - rulezadded on the 2023-04-16 13:14:02
