Damn fine demo this!! Many great effects and very well executed. For me, this one is on higher level than most of today's demos.
The screen with the pig is still epic, the music, the graphics, and the whole screen animated.. Such a great moment in scene history!! |

Though my personal contribution was somewhat doubtful, I can indeed remember we had a small meet at Megabrain's place and WVL assembled every XEN member to do some work on the blinking eyes.
Great fun and the result... Well, WVL being the genius he is, pulled it off amazingly. |

| First time I ever watch this demo. And what a nice Tuesday-surprise! Some truly great effects and music, nice flow. 3D scroller is simply amazing! Possibly the nicest scroller I've ever witnessed on a C64. Looking forward to your next production! |

| I don't know why I just got around to watching this tonight for the first time. Amazing!!! Bravo. Nice effects and so much originality here. I'll be watching this in regular rotation for some time to come. |

Ready : Your post just made my day :) Maybe some nice trivia : the pig-fli animations were done in Timanthes and the file had 98 different layers :) (Timanthes was really struggling with that!)
Everybody went totally crazy drawing all the anims and even more so when I spotted problems all around ;) and a lot of things had to be redone.
Afterwards I went totally crazy with merging all the anims into a usable file.. blergh!
But for sure the work wasn't wasted. |

| great partydemo! i especially dig the (outstanding) music sync with the visual effects, which can be found everywhere throughout the demo. the wobbly interference part followed by the kefrens is top notch! |

| this demo has the best soundtrack from all X2008 democompo entries(barring Vicious Sid but its good in a different way). coupled with Valsary`s gfx,afew great effects- in particular the 3d scroller which i like the most- it makes a gorgeus demo. another good thing about it is now that its finished and released the most impressive C64 game may come closer to being realized:) |

| Damn!! Seriously, I never knew Xenon was a kickass demogroup like this. Am truly impressed by this demo, and would have voted it first if was at the party. It has a interesting atmosphere, originality and even impressive effects ontop of that. The music is really nice too and actually fits the demo, enhances it, which is quite unusual these days. I will show this to my non data friends. |

The hires twister, WOW!
The following effect, endless zoom, OOOH!
The Xenon logo -> unreadable...
3D scroller, ew? *rubs eyes*
Pig part, what the hell...!?
Elvis, hm... (that part is so-so)
Wobbling interferences, YIEEHAAA!
Horizontal kefrens bars, hmpf. Maybe you need to be a coder to understand it.
All border stretcher, looks a bit ugly.
Embryo pic, great!
During the compo I thought: What do these treetrunks want to tell me? Odd music. Boring.
At home I thought: Still a strange sad endpart. Wicked music. Interesting.
After my 5th time of watching this demo I fell so in love with this part. Vewwwy atmosferik, wow, it really touches me. Music is nothing but a masterpiece. Same goes for all the other tunes in this demo, they need time to grow on you.
(Tempted to raise my vote to 10 now, but let's give it another 5 private sessions with this fabulous demo, ok?)

| Yeah the pig is by Valsary (look at the top left for his sneaky signature), isn't this part just great? The music is just wonderful, I'm blasting it out hard on my speakers here, really catchy tunes. The gfx are just wonderful and some great code fx, great work guys! |

| Crossbow? He's just an invention of our imagination, he doesnt exist! And even if he did exist, he can't do 80 real kefrens bars either ;) (ehr.. 1 pixel high bars dont count obviously.. minimum is 9 pixels high for it to count) |

@HCL :
hope you didnt check out the code for those horizontal kefrens yet ;) You'll be really disappointed ;))
BTW, did I mention it is _impossible_ to do 80 real horizontal kefrens? I tried and got struck by the fail. :( By real I mean you can position every bar at any position, so no animations. |

Very nice demo. The blinking pig is just brilliant, as well as many of the effects. @dk: Yes, i was screaming loud about the horizontal kefrens-bars, i don't know.. i was in such a good mood ;). But the rest of the effects still stand for a sober audience.
Really like the music (yepp, why don't ppl mention that?) by A-man. I get the feeling that the instruments are a bit Randall-inspired, am i right? Fits very well to the whole thing. And of course also stunning gfx!!
@Scout: No, EoD is not 40-tracks disks. |

I love this demo! Some of the finest new effects for the last years can be found here. The 320*200 50 fps rotator, the 3d scroller (which was unfortunately hard to see on the projector) and the very cleverly done interference beating it's precedessor in many ways. The x-y flipping fullscreen zoomer is also neat. The horizontal Kefrens should not have been skipped, they are just shown for a bit too long. The main soundtrack is also simply great. The gfx are also proof of real craftmanship...
This demo is my personal #2 in the very close demo compo.

| I added a 35 track version that consists of 2 .d64's for the people who cannot transfer a 40 track d64.. Just insert side 2 after loading the first file, and then run it. |

@shadow: keep in mind this demo is made for a 40 track disk. Afaik, transferring with Warpcopy/RR-Net is a no-go.
Edge Of Disgrace is a 40 trackdisk demo too, btw. |

Excellent demo! Superb coding and magnificent graphics. The pig+eyes animiation looks great.
Several effects that made me go 'How the fuck did they do that!??'
Strange thing though, the endpart will not work on my C64. It scrolls the pic to the top, but when the parallax effect should appear (which it does when I run it in VICE) nothing happens, just pic on the top, black screen and music playing. I have done two different transfers to disk, but same thing happens on both copies. |

Brilliant effects and fresh ideas! Nice tune indeed, and lovely packaged with gfx&transitions.
The end part felt a bit rushed though.
Anyway, great to see another one from you guys! Looking forward to see more!

Kool to see so many positive reactions!
Valsary's gfx actually aren't that old compared to some of the other gfx, which were drawn 8 years ago.
As for the end part, it's 90% finished.. so a 100% version will follow, just wait and see (but don't expect it too soon!). It is actually my favorite part (and A-man's tune rules!). |

| Although it is a bit inconsistent, this one really features some great graphics methinks. Sander rules of course, and so does the guy who did the Tool'ish pig-picture. The screen with the 3d scroller was also very tasteful I think. |

Spectacular code and really original stuff. I especially like that 3D/perspective scroller!
It would have been even better if it wasn't just a well-glued set of separate parts, if you catch my drift...

Leon: From what I heard the valsary pics were made years ago, so don't get your hopes up just yet! 8(
Great Demo thouogh, I was sitting next to HCL in the compo, and he seemed to be rather impressed with the horizontal Kefrens! ;-D At first I thought it was hard-poking into an AFLI bitmap screenram, but that's too slow, then i thought sprites, but seeing how it's 1 char minimum it's probably some DYCP on steroids! ;-)
That 3D scroller is awesome, I totally did not even notice on the bigscreen for some reason!
Love the part with the pig and the eyes, also that you change the texture of the rotating spritezoomer when it's on its backside is great. The endpart may not be as coder-pr0n as the other stuff but I like it, since it totally looks and sounds like a Panoramic Designs thing! 8) |

Some great effects, music and ok graphics, more importantly a really good flow all the way to the wobbly interference part. After that I lost interest, imho the bars should have been skipped.
oh and thanks for making me feel drunk without the need to drink :) and the scroller with the shadow, very nice. |
