- Decent tribute to a classic demo, with enough of a personal twist to make it worthwhile on its own. Deserved placing higher imo.

- demo Windows sp04 - 거미 김 (Spider Kim) by Spacepigs [web]
- Obvious memeprod, but I did enjoy it more than most of the compo. Which isn't saying much because the compo kinda sucked. I'll need something to wash down the taste...

- demo Windows Our Other World by Hoodlum [web]
- Alright, I'll be the guy. It was an ok demo for the first 80 seconds. Yes, somewhat corny tag-cloud-style term dropping in the track (this went out of fashion in the 90s, mind you), but at least there were pleasant visuals to compensate.
And then it went downhill completely, as if somebody had sabotaged your demo—either purposely or in a drunken stupor. The dragon model and especially its animation look just laughably bad and tacky; moreover, exactly none of the scenes benefit from it thematically—removing it would actually make everything better. Was it meant to symbolize "imagination", "faster", etc., and clumsily juxtapose "assymmetric cryptography", "HTML", and "virus" in the "lyrics"? The fly-by over the terrain was somehow made less eventful and impactful compared to every size-optimized intro I've seen in the last decade that attempted to do the same. What exactly makes it so interesting that we need to look at it for minutes—surely not the generic flailing-around camera paths? The fonts are horribad and thematically unfit, and the way the black "I'M FREE" emerges from the ground is cringy in a way rarely seen even in newcomers' first-time demos. I mean, you've been at this for years, surely you must have some standards of artistic decency? The glowing dot during the fly-by doesn't cast shades or really do anything—did you just forget about it or something? The scene at 3:50 is drawn out beyond any comprehension and has very confusing light sources: the light comes from the back but it's the camera-facing surfaces that get illuminated. Though to be fair, everything about the direction of this demo is confusing. The strobing light during the credits scroller is annoying and pointless, and once again the surfaces are illuminated from the wrong side. Music is lively but ultimately bland, and certainly not strong enough to tie together the mess of scenes; besides, I don't understand why the composition has to jump around so abruptly. The overall sense of coloring can be summarized as "fifty shades of turquoise", which is weird because intuition and common sense suggest you aren't supposed to color the world of IP addresses and the world of dragons and bad fonts in the exact same tones if you want to juxtapose them.
Also, I don't remember the screenshot scene being in the demo. Also, selfvoting!
The amount of things wrong with this release is genuinely impressive, but that's not how I would want to be impressed. - sucksadded on the 2017-08-23 05:41:30
- 4k Windows Cubicle by Rift
- Failed to engage me. Objects and their interactions felt awkward and unappealing, and the music was just there.

- 4k Windows Faraday Future by LJ & Alcatraz [web]
- Oh my, this is a good one. Very confident camerawork that reminded me of kasparov in places. Geometrical complexity is probably state of the art for 4k, if only because it looks and feels meaningful and in place rather than complex for the sake of visual complexity. Music is absolutely fitting the atmosphere and even good on its own. As good as some of the other entries were, there was no competition for this at all.

- 4k Commodore 64 makeshift by Logicoma [web]
- Quote:
I love how this eschews all the traditions of how C64 demos / intros usually are like.
This is very important for me. The C64 scene feels so old it needs every bit of fresh air it gets. The fact that this is also a 4k is just the cherry on top of the pile of awesome. - rulezadded on the 2017-08-21 21:51:59
