• demo Amiga AGA entropy chamber by Logicoma [web]
• speaking of a "dream team"…
  
  exactly how i would've imagined Logicoma to translate onto "nuskool" amiga. relatively simple and to the point, but it doesn't need to be anything more than that. i love how clean it looks, from technical pov with antialiasing and everything (supersampling you say??), as well as the design and presentation, not to mention the music.
  
  funnily enough this also is probably the closest visual counterpart i've seen to the initial concept of absolute territory that was floating in my head…

• looks like shit regardless of the technique. one might still be inclined to commend the effort even if the end result is vile and ill conceived, but obviously not in this case.
  
  sad case of certain people who insist on using this as a hobbyhorse for campaigning on promotion of this excrement and the tools used to hallucinate it. if you like it for what it is, fair enough, whatever. but smugly provocating other artists and then shielding yourself behind "whatever happened to politeness" is rather transparent and offensive.
  
  about the demo itself intending to be provocative, i fail to see in what meaningful way exactly. the only underlying message here as seemingly confirmed by the proponents is just about "having a good time", which is not exactly profound or something to feel provoked about. Variform 2 is about the burden of a legacy and what comes with carrying it; a cathartic burst of frustration towards an audience waiting to be spoon fed. what's important though that it doesn't purport itself as Good in the traditional sense, which is why it works in a subversive sense.
  
  this demo on the other hand doesn't have any sort of self-awareness like that. the only divisive aspect (other than whether you even like the visual presentation to begin with) is breaking the social contract regarding tools and techniques used. there's no sort of sentiment or counter-sentiment regarding the topic that people are actually reacting negatively to, but just a slurry of vapid schlock. if you don't actually make a point about breaking that contract one way or the other then you don't qualify as satire. meaningless.
  
  but honestly even that's just "whatever", bad demos come and go, and this wouldn't merit any sort of a second thought were it not for the inexplicable defense of the tools that some are coming to.

• Sadly audio seemed to have played back in mono in at least the stream, possibly on location as well, and as I didn't have time to ensure any kind of mono compatibility it sounded quite messy… The capture above (the same one shown in the compo) has the audio playing properly though.

• easily the entry most deserving of winning, high marks all across. just won't fall into the trap of trying to recreate the same entry over and over :)

• really surprised about the placement, thought this was top5 material for sure… it's rough around the edges of course, but that's also part of the charm. lots of clever ideas and overall a well executed consistent theme. always glad to see someone explore unconventional styles that they're passionate about :)

• i scrolled past screenshots of this on discord earlier without paying much attention and genuinely thought they were photos taken in the hall.
  
  ingenious.

• what especially like is that not only does this look very good, the sound also fits the context and sounds good too, instead of just being a box to tick off or an excuse to fill out some bytes as with many non-silent 256b intros.
