- demo Atari STe The Coders' Guide To The Demoscene by Acid Team [web] & Jakub Husak
- So much hype about this one.
I for myself don't care at all what tools and technology were used to create this demo, most likely you got it wrong anyway (I had to laugh at the armchair experts judging my own productions -- so much BS about how/why/based on what I did this or that effect).
The STNICCC 2000 demo by Oxygene has been already mentioned and I can again only laugh when giving "We Were At" as the prime example how to do demos without obvious precalcs -- its bouncing squares effect (50 FPS, fullscreen) is completely done in Box2D and the author didn't make any secret of it. Does it make a less impressive effect/demo? Surely not.
However I can't vote up for this demo either.
I'm with Paranoid, if I were the author and decided to go "full SD card mode", why on earth would I chose redoing the most basic (someone could say most boring) effects from the ST era and accompany it with music which, yeah, sounds like from "We Were At" (and other sample streaming demos) which has drastic size constraints?
Why not do some serious 50 FPS 3D shit with shading and/or textures accompanied by some seriously-sounding music from a studio?
And yes, that photos and story... waste of time and space for me.
But I do hope to see more from you guys, don't let others to tell you what's fun! - isokadded on the 2024-08-28 13:44:23

- I have updated the Atari port (URL stays the same), it should be a bit faster and also running really nearly anywhere with a Fuji symbol. ;-)

- It's surprising how underrated this demo is, even after 20 years. It contains an unprecedented amount of effects appearing in one screen at once, despite its low (160x100) resolution colours are so well chosen that you barely notice it and it's fast, really fast, even on plain 16 MHz 030.
Not to speak about quality of some effects, many of them were unheard of in 2001. I think it was really unfair that it ended up third, especially behind "Don't Break The Oath" which does exactly the opposite, it requires 030@50 MHz to display classic effects and 3D objects, only in 320x200. - rulezadded on the 2022-07-31 17:25:46
