• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Generation X by Binary
• That are pretty cool effects - and a lot of them!
  I'm not a big fan of the presentation, though, which feels very early-90s and almost megademo-like. Probably also because many parts have a common screen layout (logo to the right). I was hoping for a change when the music in the second part started with more pace but it lost its punch, too.
  But I don't understand why anyone would give a thumb down because it comes on one disk and not on two...

• demo TIC-80 Your Art by The Unstoppable Hacker Bunch
• Oh, that was nice!
  Somehow completely missed it last year...

• demo Wild endfield by konsumer [web]
• Thanks for all the positive feedback so far and maybe a few words about the Picotron platform...
  
  Compared to Pico8, which we used before, the virtual CPU runs at exactly twice the speed (8 million cycles/sec) which roughly corresponds to the number of additional pixels, so it's not so much faster per se.
  The resolution is 240x135 (16:9) with 64 custom colors which has of course much less limitations than the fixed Pico8 colors.
  In addition to the CPU there is graphics unit (for drawing sprites and lines and such), somehow comparable to the Amiga Blitter but much more sophisticated as it's handling pixels and not just bits.
  
  But what really makes the platform interesting are "userdata operations" (basically arrays) which can add/mul/div values pairwise from two arrays - and that's significantly faster than making a Lua loop do the same.
  This means completely reorganizing your data and algorithms to take advantage of this new layout - which is fun but a not-to-underestimate mind-bender in some situations.
  We use this e.g. for the audio mixer (we are playing a 4chn .mod-file, bypassing the internal synth) and to do bilinear filtered texture mapping (replacing the internal “tline” function).

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Second Nature by Desire [web] & The Twitch Elite
• Very very nice and very polished, some interesting upgrades of movetable effects.
  And the color-mixing of the "leaves falling on water" works really well on an analouge CRT (that one looks a bit ugly and dirty on LCD/Youtube).

• demo Windows Razor1911 by Razor 1911 [web]
• The text-based elements are once again seamlessly integrated into a modern aesthetic and beautifully reflect the past 40 years. The actual visual effects are rather unimpressive and serve mainly to glue everything together.
  Instead, the demo resonates on a more emotional, nostalgic level. No matter which era of the scene you come from, you’ll find memories here.
  On top of that the music critiques the culture of debate that has always accompanied the demo- and wares-scene across all generations of online platforms.
  Big respect. Well done, boys & girls.

• 32k demo Atari VCS Triplet by Otomata Labs [web]
• I was quite positively surprised by the music and I respect the work that must have went into this but I still find it really difficult to connect with the 2600 aesthetics.
  Since the x-rotator has antialiased edges, I guess it's running as an animation from the ROM?

• demo Windows Cerberus by Cocoon [web] & Excess [web]
• A very solid demo with visually pretty interesting parts and nice music.
  It indeed feels like a rather random collection but that's probably something that can be fixed with the right cuts and a bit of push in the sync.
  Let's hope for a final!
  
  I find it pretty remarkable that some people have such high expectations for a Cocoon demo that they’d give a thumb-down for this one...

• 4k Windows duo by Nuance [web]
• The cloth works really well and the fact that there are 2 individuals dancing in only 4k is amazing.
  The background and music are maybe a bit simplistic, though.

• demo Windows Every Beat Counts by Still [web]
• A very enjoyable demo with a slow, steady visual progression that gets more and more interesting as it nears the end.
  Well done, Pixtur!

• demo JavaScript Heart Of Glass by Gray Marchers [web] & Byterapers [web]
• Really enjoyed this, visually absolutely beautiful and awesome soundtrack - one of my favorites from the compo!
