Ultimate Screenfader thread

Hello, my name is Anonym, and I am addicted to screen faders. You know those (sometimes not so) little effects that get you from the loading screen into the demo. I'm not looking for a self-help group at this point, but rather a collection of the best screen faders. I searched far and near but haven't found one yet?

Which productions have memorable screen faders that you like?

Loved that effect, too.

The Doors of Perception has a great fader too. Thanks to Xiny6581 for reminding me.

Self-promotion, and maybe what we did here was a little too obvious, but we just dropped the screen in 3-char-wide columns one-by-one in No Bounds ..

great thread! I have been checking out these BASIC faders.

I liked the BASIC screen falling away in slices in no Bounds and the intertwined text scroller.

I liked the checkerboard fader in diversidty #1.

I liked the fader in Andropolis that erased and redrew the BASIC screen horizontally.

I didn't see a BASIC fader in Schizarrion or ES1RA but the rotating face cube is really cool.

I liked the hi-res color graphics taking over BASIC in Doors of Perception and the text melting around it.

And Triage V has an awesome Fx with a blaster drawing shapes on the screen.

Amplifire has a fantastic BASIC screen spinning Fx and I loved the Tetris effect in Artillery!

Here is my BASIC fader demo from FOReVER 8-bit Edition 22 with multiple fader fx and a splash text screen:

But you read what Ano sees as a "Screenfader" on post #1 here, did you SQL?

So - there is NO fader on your self promotion thingy at all. And I am sure thats not just an IMHO - more in PM.

Yes Ano describes the BASIC loading screen fading into the demo. My demo does this in three stages:

The loading screen starts to change from the center.
Sections of the loading screen are blown up by lasers.
Sections of the screen are cleared by border Fx.

Some sections of the BASIC loading screen never fade which I agree is different. Are you suggesting a fader has to fade the entire screen?

An updated Andropolis fader was used here: Party Horse

A modified Amplifire fader was used here: Drinking Buddies

Code reuse ftw! \o/
