• demo Amiga AGA Skywards by Darkage [web]
• @hfr
  People have this mythical idea of demos and demoparties.
  demogroups spend hours/days/weeks/months crafting a unique digital experience, only made possible by insane skills, dedication, love and stamina.
  Then, at a party, this get presented for the first time to wow the audience.
  Or so everybody hopes, and sometimes it IS exactly like that, creating those magical scene moments every scener remembers so dearly.
  When this does NOT happen, and the audience figures the demogroup did NOT pour in all that work, because of ... - enter reason here - lame use of commercial engines, lame use of sampled music, AI graphics, AI soundtrack ... they feel cheated and robbed of an experience.
  Hence the overly passionate reactions, almost like a junkie that was robbed from its fix :-)
  And I somewhat get it, everybody is SOOOO hoping for awesomeness, then the name of a famous demogroup comes up, the audience goes "ooohhh, this is going to IT ! Finally!" and then when it isn't what they were expecting they go "WTF! this is crap! I'm insulted you would even present that"

• demo Amiga AGA Shinya 1986 by Almagest
• Yes!
  This was the Amiga demo where I felt the most excitement at the party.
  It's SO COOL!
  Obviously, it's way too short and I was truly sad to see it end, but yeah...
  Big big thumbs up for an excellent vibe.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS The Story of Josef K. and the Cathodic Guillotine
• Cool design and certainly a big thumbs up for the super interesting "making of" writeup.
  The music is rather awful IMHO, but nothing the volume knob can't solve.
  Interesting prod!

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Naphta
• All praise to the awesome band Naft who were the (obvious) inspiration for the music and the graphics.
  
  I wrote a little background info on my blog: https://blog.stef.be/naphta
  Finally I'm starting to understand why everybody loves the Amiga custom chips su much :-)
  Still scratching the surface, though... so much more to explore and to learn.
  The target is to move to assembly for Rsync 2026, but we'll see...
