Not too bad Oldskool one, a little bit more variation and action in the scenes would have been better, but overall, not bad ;)

a lot of effort and hard code wasted by lazyness/lack of time.

Belive it or not, the Smartphone App called "Shazam" found out that the sample on the C64 is related to Belinda Carlisle - leave a light on. So this is nowadays quite easy to find out. I remember that twenty years ago you have to sing infront of a guy at the now wellknown "Technomarket" SATURN and he was able to tell you what kind of LP you're after. No fuckin' Joke !!! In Cologne at the main Store where they just sold LP's, CD's and on the upper floors in the tower the high level Audio Systems...

lovely vector parts. i believe some nice routines are a little bit wasted in this demo. with better graphics and linking, this demo could have been very memorable.

Nice demo, music is cool and I like that decrunching screens, it's somehow funny and you guys must admit it's original idea to show some let's call it "glitches" ;]. Of course anybody knows how to disable screen for a while, but if no loading parts, why just don't show on screen what's going on ;].

The part I enjoyed the most is the one with the bouncing ball and the 3D object changing shape: nice idea and execuction! Maybe some backgorund picture could have improved the overall impression, emphasizing the depth of the screen. Still some calculation can be improved there: the ball sometimes just goes throu the object. Sometimes the top/lower border closes, why keep it open in the first place? Just for the bottom sprite? Looks like a leftover from old coding session.
Nice color fading for the opening part, but ruined by the garbage on the previous screen and bad blankening at the end.
Overall what other said about transitions and personally too much of the rotating cube (even if the routine is nice and fast)

Quite unfinished but it shows great potential. Keep up the good work! :) Also, to fix the bottom-right missing pixel in all your EOR-fillers simply move right-edges one pixel to the right and bottom-edges one pixel down and always draw your lines from left->right.

The tune by vip is trip to mercury,
the tune in the sleipnir part is a cover from morbid angels desolate ways done by Arman.There are 2 versions of ths sid one will be maybe released sometimes.

Yes! I finally decoded the sample... "Leave a light on" by Belinda Carlisle. Brilliant take! Many nice parts in this demo but for gods sake, better transitions (black screen would do) next time =)

the unpack "effect" is really annoying, d011=0 next time.
nice collection of parts, and cheers for the tribute to Arman, there is never enough to remember our beloved mustard.
I added the known tunes and missing credits but there are 2 new to me.
In Odin on Sleipnir part, I can't see a credit for it, who did it?
also another by Vip never surfaced before, it seems, named Trip 2 Mercury.

Solid 8 for the trailblacer rolling cube and the endpart with lines and sample!

Constructive: More scrollers and less decrunch ;-)

ps. the viking gfx rox!

I knew you'd say so and I know yer right and wouldn't do it without making screen black myself. Nevertheless, those "flaws" in terms of perfection _remind_ me of a couple of singlefiled multipart "decrunchtros" from my youth :)

even the "ugly" decrunching, let's just call that oldschool :)

no. "oldschool" is not a synonym for "bad". really. and they knew how to make the screen black and hide the uglyness in 1988 too.

The horse with the eight legs is Sleipnir.
It came from northern mythology and was owned by Odin/Wotan.
When you got a closer look at the intro there you will see
the horse on the rune stone.

Btw. Graphics by me, is from 2006. The year we in Covenant planned to start the demo, parts where finished time by time, and morely improved by Honesty, he still has parts left for the next demo..

must everything always be perfect & stylish, i find this one kinda charming due to lack of perfection and style, even the "ugly" decrunching, let's just call that oldschool :)

Given that this was produced over about 7 or 8 years, I am not surprised that there is no red line but however, appreciate that all that stuff was released, finally. after all, it runs, even the *lol* "horse" :D Apropos a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse (no matter how many legs) first screen with Fredrik's tune: Bayeux tapestry?

(Nice choice of music in general btw though there's no red line either, but who cares)

I felt quite entertained and rate this 8 points.

some great coding and nice ideas, but sadly lacks style.

it's ok.. but the transitions / some of the design were the aspects, I didn't like. Nice you mention Intensity though.

the walking horse also was quite cool... somehow :o)

the biggest let-down for me is the crude linking... it shouldnt be too hard to make less ugly transitions between parts even when not going to the trackmo route

I have seen this demo some weeks ago (Thanx Freddi!), i'm impressed about the good code.. I really like it...!

I think the demo were much, much better when it were a trackmo but freddi dislike them! ;)
