- demo Linux Windows Polyhedron Rising
- Quote:yeah, whatever mate - the proportion of demoscene prods that have source included is incredibly low, but that doesn't detract from the quality of the prod, nor our enjoyment of it. I'm not seeing anything under "contributions to prods" on your profile....
No source = no like

- Oh, I re-read your question and better understand it now
This one is possibly too much in the "stuff we like" side of things, but looking at the comments, some others enjoyed it too. Next one is something different again, so let's see how that one fares "in the wild" when it's ready - isokadded on the 2021-10-12 15:45:56

- Well Gargaj, you seemed to like Umbra at least, which is the one I had in mind

- Ok, so while I'm a member of BitBendaz, I wasn't involved in this prod, so I'm gonna weigh in a little here...
It would appear the most divisive element here is the soundtrack. As someone that produces and DJs psytrance, I totally don't have a problem with the track. It has a few distinct parts - I particularly like the middle breakdown with the vocal sample. Of course, psytrance/goa isn't everybody's genre of choice - it just happens to be one we enjoy and due to the level of tight sync-work that Stalvik put in, it fits the motion in my mind.
I'm curious as to what soundtrack others might have used in its place. There are definite nods to, for example, Ziphead in the visuals (mocap dancers and lasers), but to use a similar soundtrack as well may be a bridge too far.
Equally, with those visuals, it would have been too easy to pair a psy/goa tune with trippy tunnels, mushrooms, aliens, etc. That too has been done extensively before, even by folks on this thread for whom this demo didn't work for.
So yeah, not a perfect demo from us, but I feel it delivers as much fun outwardly as the folks had making it inwardly. We like to mix it up, sometimes making the demos we want to watch, sometimes making the demos you want to watch (compare, if you will, the difference in feedback Gargaj gave Laevitas to that he gave Umbra).
The next demo is already well under way and brings something different again. Keep making demos, keep evolving and adapting, but most importantly, keep having fun.
Bossman/BitBendaz^RiFT, sending peace. - isokadded on the 2021-10-12 15:03:33
