• demo Windows Return by Pyrotech
• While on previous Pyrotech demos the ASD influence was more than obvious (and it's always flattering when someone is inspired by your style), I think that with Return, Pyrotech are actually venturing more into forming their own kind of style. Personally I liked this demo, though I can't put my finger on why it needs so much storage space. Loved the train's slipstream at the station and how it pushed things around, but overall I don't think this is the demo that has the wow factor that cries winnerdemo, but it's still a very decent one, and it marks progress in my book.

• demo Windows The butterfly effect by Andromeda Software Development [web]
• @chej9009 I'm truly sorry that you feel like exploding into expletives as if we pissed in your beer. All of our demos, past and recent were coded ON nVidia cards, and at the time of their release they were working perfectly on the drivers that were available. Unfortunately, the newer drivers by nVidia changed something that made our demos behave like that. Unfortunately, as we are piss poor we had to fire all of the staff in our customer support department, and as such, support for our previous line of products has been revoked.
  
  uh..
  
  Spleen!.. yeah.. Spleen!

• demo Windows hedron by Division
• My personal favorite from Assembly. Even if it could benefit from a bit more attention and polishing, I enjoyed the energy and the flow in this immensely (not to mention that sweeeeeet melting/reconstruction effect).
  
  You guys are really improving with every demo, and I'm really looking forward to your next production. Kudos!

• demo Windows Spacecut by Carillon & Cyberiad [web]
• This is a nice demo. My thumb can't go anywhere but up. Some really excellent effects here, but at the same time there are a lot of things that bug me.
  
  First, I feel that there is too little content occupying a vast amount of time which destroys any kind of flow. The demo was not rolling and after a while I felt disconnected with it. The introductory scene (even if I personally find it to be a bit static, as I would prefer more camera angles to the violinist) sets up the mood for something with more context and something grandiose but the next scenes (even if technically awesome) fail to deliver.
  
  I really cannot align myself with the people who praise the direction for this demo. Personally I think that it's severely lacking in the direction department. The transitions were nearly non existent (expect for the exceptional "metaball" to "tunnel" one)
  
  The music was really well produced, but it's nothing I'd put on to listen a second time (and yes, contrary to popular belief, I do like dubstep). It was really awesome up to the logo part. After that it was actually annoying my ears.
  
  Finally I can't get my head past the fact that this is 130mb big. Unless the soundtrack is uncompressed wav at 96kHz I really don't see how this ended up being 130mb big.

• demo Windows Mito Chondrio by Andromeda Software Development [web]
• Drums are sampled but they could be reproduced with a bit of work. All other instruments are Thors.

• demo Windows Mito Chondrio by Andromeda Software Development [web]
• A few words about this lil' demo. Just like the Butterfly Effect, this demo was built on the music rather than the other way round. It is fast made (music took about 2 afternoons and the visuals about 3 or 4 days if I'm not mistaken), it lacks polish and it's actually an effort to not let a year go by without releasing anything. The truth is that this past year has been a very tough one for asd members on a personal level, which took away both our free time and our inspiration. Apologies to our fans who are expecting a flagship demo, but this year there's not going to be one (unless something remarkable happens). I hope you guys enjoy it for just what it is. A small, fast-made demo.
  
  As for size coding, I suppose this could be done in 64k or even 4k. The instruments are pure synths so it could be done in a soft-synth (if I ever learned how to use one) and the visuals are textureless. In fact, most of the filesize of the archive is due to the music being encoded at 320kbs. We've never been into sizecoding though, and I highly doubt that we'll venture on that path in the future. If however anybody feels like remixing it into 64 or 4k, feel free =)

• demo Windows cortex sous-vide by Excess [web]
• Talk about an anti-climax. Starts very promising, displays some neat effects, soothes with the amazingly synced neuro-transmitter scene.. and when you hear the scream and expect to be blown away, the demo gets reduced to a wet pile of fish droppings... such a pitty.. any chance we can get a final version with some proper content instead of the rushed tunnel?
  
  The music is awesomely produced gloom-style but (with the exception of the neuro-transmitter scene) is too uninspired for my taste.
  
  Pig it is..
