• demo Windows Fanta by Trepaan [web]
• The music seems to have so much left of the original Gibson Brother’s Cuba that Shazam recognized it.

• demo JavaScript Das Färjan by Proxima Centauri [web]

  Congrats on making a demo, but i think you should be honest there and not cover yourself under the "Newcomer" label (iirc you already held "demomaking with cables" seminars before?) - thats both unfair to actual newcomers and people voicing legit points as a critique :)

  
  
  I got a lot of heat from him on my first newschool demo a few years before I did the seminar. After that I didn't want to publish anything for a long while and didn't even plan the seminar but by surprise had to organize it. Das Färjan is still the second newschool demo I have published so far all by myself. Before that I have mainly done music, 3D objects and written tools and one synth. But no visual code at all.

  As for packaging cables demos - the WebDemoExe method that is linked in the cables documentation page that gargaj posted is the current "state of the art" thing to do. No windows machine needed, just follow the described steps and put your stuff in the folders. Very newcomer friendly. ;)

  
  
  All right. At first I assumed it was the tool that required Visual Studio. I'll try this the next time since I only have a Macbook as a portable option.

  Sadly that requires a Windows computer to run. I only had a Macbook with me at the party.

  Are you new though? I've known you in the scene for ~10-15 years, you have credits going back even longer, and more importantly you've been in the Meteoriks jury judging other people's work on the merits of visual quality, direction, etc... Surely you should be able to tolerate some heat just on the basis of that - walk the walk, and stuff.
  

  
  
  I have been active in the demoscene, yes, doing soundtracks for demos and wrote some oldschool demos by myself. This is my second newschool demo I have done by myself. When I did my first one you came over the line fuming even to the party orgas first. The tone was way beyond constructive feedback and more like do not ever publish stuff like this again. Hadn't I already had experience from demoscene I would certainly not published another demo at all. After all, that party only required video recordings, not executables so all the time went trying to record it.
  
  I planned this demo specifically for Jumalauta party in order to not get any kind of heat of how bad it would be as I don't have much of experience with the engine and packaging the stuff. I'm well aware of the shortcomings of the prod and was embarrassed already publishing it. Still it won. And I haven't seen you lash on the rest of the Färjans.

  - 700MB download, because the whole demo is in there TWICE (good lord), not to mention each instance includes the music twice (so a total of 4 mp3s), and a bunch of 4k normal maps stored as HDR(?!?!)
  - starts by trying to INSTALL a webserver, but provides no configuration to actually run the bloody thing
  - 4k textures (good) with awful UV maps / texel density that ends up looking lowres (very bad); at least bake some lightmaps as a second UV set or get some SSAO up in the place.
  - Impact
  - initially a promising interpolation of the Das Boot theme that after the first minute or so sadly ends up staying on the general MIDI sound quality and completely ignores the "dramatic" action that's on screen
  - no attention to detail - smokestack fumes underwater, console screen smoothscrolls text, you can see the edge of the water plane
  - completely misplaced pacing where the dramatic peak action happens at around the 3 minute mark, and then the prod just dispassionately waffles around for 2 more minutes.
  
  i'm sure the response will be "but it's just for fun / you shouldnt take it seriously" but i don't buy that excuse.

  
  
  Oops, double the amount of files in the zip was a screwup that is fixed now. Thanks for notifying that.
  
  Well, if you know how to package an HTML demo so that it would work on a PC, I'd be glad if you could help. As a newcomer, I'm open to a little assistance. Mind you, I didn't have a PC with me at the partyplace at all.
  
  Regarding production value, have you ever seen Färjan demos? Yes, it should have been a lot better but I ran out of time. The other option could have been to not release it for an entire year.
  
  Are you always this friendly to new people making demos? Do you ever wonder why demomaking is a disappearing art form?

• It is sure unpolished as I did the entire demo in one week, including learning cables.gl. The next demo will be more polished and well thought out. Stay tuned!

• intro Commodore PET PETs Can't Keep Dying by All You Can Execute
• Really nice work and it's great to see somebody else doing PET demos for a while. :D Just tested this on real hardware (CBM 4032-32N) and it works fine. This raised my bar for the next PET demos. My previous sample player in We are computers could only play back 4 kHz samples.

• 64b MS-Dos Gespensterwald 64b by Desire [web]
• The music felt really tormenting when listening with headphones. Like my skull vibrated with the harmonics. And the warping/distorting visuals made it feel more sinister.

• demo Windows Fresh Moon by Adapt [web]
• atlan: It is short since it was in the one scene demo compo limited to 1 minute length. Which puts a challenge to tell everything neccessary in that time frame.
