| This demo has some of the best music, not just on the C64, but in general. The visuals just makes it even better. I still watch this demo to this day, and I will continue to do so long into the future. |

I fell on my ass when i saw this demo (Fortunately, I was seated).
The effects tell a story, which is rare, it's magical.
All done by one man! Bravo!

I bet there’s mighty coding done here, but for me this stands out as the greatest demo soundtrack in mordern c64 time. Just imagine starting out with “oboe” or some similar fagot intrument, and then pull off hell off a chippy ride in 3/4 and 6/4!!
I love it!! <3 |

I've finally read the note. Apart from the mindblowing use of invisible pixels to trigger sprite-crunch via the collision detection register this is also another big wow "Furthermore, only 17 pages are reserved for the music player. How is it possible to fit such a long, varied soundtrack in that cramped space? The answer is streaming. The music data is divided into segments separated by the sync points."
Speechless. |

Thanx LFT for the Lunatico floppy disk! To make such a demo in all aspects of coding, gfx, music and loader takes a unique brilliant human being imho. You told me it took you 2.5 years to develope. I know this also takes patience and perseverance.
I bow deeply for your accomplishments and succes in the X demo compo.
The biggest unanswered question is can you do it again? :) (perhaps with some ace gfx artist to help you)

| Mind blown, heart melt. Such a great show... Crazy to imagine this is a one person job. Best part in the music is 1:53, just after those awfully loud noises (probably very much intentional, but I hated them during the compo and I hate them now :). LFT, how you can ever top this? :D |

I think it is amazing that one person did this whole demo. That said, I want to compare this what other people/groups did. The graphics were a little bit rough - not so much details. For example the beginning multi-layered downscroller - reused in the greetings part. It's a graphical style I guess - just didn't appeal to me :) The pace was too slow for my liking. I got bored, wanting to fast-forward.
I didn't understand all the parts - the stars/falling papier(?) and the wobbling circles on disk 2 for example.
Overall I think the graphics were ok, but not fantastic. The music set the mood perfectly, especially on disk 2. The musical theme didn't catch on though. There wasn't any catchy melody - which is something I like.
Favorite parts: The horizontal twisters (after the greetings) and the rain sequence on disk 2.
There seems to have been quite a few new inventions in this demo, but I didn't really see them being used to their full potential.
I won't go into the whole VSP-discussion - I personally don't use it and I guess that's all I have to say on that subject.
Nice demo, but compared to what groups do it isn't in the top 5 (for the party) for me. |

The greatest advantage of 1-person productions is probably absolute control over all parts and factors. And it's the smallest stuff that make this demo so shining unique (raindrops visuals, design, even cat-purring sound on flip-disk screen).

When a demo makes me paralyzed and my jaw is as long as the spacebar on the commodore 64 keyboard.... That's it!
The effects melted me totally. Such a feeling in this demo, it really has this melancholy feeling, embedded with something powerful, that only such a demo can reach at! The music, felt like it was either made for the demo or made from the demo. Totally a masterpiece, that will leave a huge impression for a long time! |

@Peiselulli: Cool! I was not aware of this.
Like you say, your effect has no y-movement (and is therefore not an AGSP variant). My effect relies on the observation that the picture will tile nicely if the vsp/linecrunch wraparound is handled correctly, i.e. flipping the order of the vic banks depending on the number of crunched lines. So it's not the exact same effect, but your effect covers a major part of mine. |
User Comment
Submitted by Peiselulli on 1 November 2016
Nice demo, very polished. But one point I have to add after reading the notes:
I think I made your "new" AGTSP three years ago:
Mind Collapse
No y-movement, but d800 updates. And the same technique with changing the VIC bank. |

Yup! this is the shit! AGSP + Color Cycling and then layered fx.. that is exactly the stuff I like to do... ;)
but every one is so afraid of VSP nowdays... (Woaah! it will crash the demo) but next time... this is the type of stuff I will do more of.. it is so powerful in a demo sense I can only congratulate you for such a single man performance ;) pure bliss to see that you have done every little thingy on this demo, even the music routine ;) not to mention the spindle loader... is there anything that was a third party stuff in this demo at all?
No limits no boundaries and the creativity ;) |

Thanks for all the praise and accolade, you guys! It was an extraordinary compo with so many top-notch entries, and I'm really happy to have placed 2nd. Yes, I worked hard on coherence and sync, and it seems to have paid off.
@Hoild: I gladly admit that the demo would have looked better if I had delegated the graphics to a pro. But then how would I learn? |

The Synch Is Strong In This One. Coherent and strong direction too -- just what I miss in most scene productions. I liked the waving moon effect drawn of many dispersing splashes.
Alas, both production quality and artistic value could go to the next level if this was no one man show and an expert graphician would have been involved. Just be honest and admit to it. |
