Love the Voyager theme and other music. Art is great too. But way too many scrollers...
I wish someone would make a demo that really rapes REU. |

Basic fader missing, but not really important ofcuz... the cool audiences screen for oscars screening... way to go... music by the master of commercial c64 albums and a true sid wanker and carer, the ear of the beholder... intro... what a lovely font and font fader... the split between the lower scrolling image and then to full screen... bliss.... Rotate that vector shape dudes... lol. strange the dither difference between the ship and that shape... hmm.. make me wnder, but not more than wonder... love....
Frontier logo just is super. Grasstust is great... analog art... ot computer generated, but handcrafted... sunsetmoon with cool rotating letters scroller... grasshopper robotwoman, she wants the grasshopper, i know... wow it is a lot here... and all making music greater than it is, or is it the music making the other greater than what they are... or is it just that all are great... great, i settle with that.
ohhh greetings... look at that font movin in super sinus and making pace with music it is true power of the 50 frames per seccond... on a c64... it just is soothing for humans too nok at something like that.. it looks really cool. Listen to the music, dont thing RASS RAU or what eveahhh... listen and look at the show, hoaxers giving you 8bit magic...
The face.... wow... raster magic image, did i mention the raster image... it is a raster image of a womans face dudes, raster image... ha ha ha ha... .... it just look cool... ahhh the dypp... then techteched... it is such a nice scroll... just a bit more ram and a firehawk and that is there in yar face brought by hoaxers... man you coded the shit out of yourself here... silluette on display... looked even better on the big screen, not than it do not look great at vice or c64 but at big screen at party it ruled, almost the best image in demo live at the party in a way... woman again... perfected pixels by joe again, joe you should maybe try different stuff too, but again it is joe... hmm... but it should be hoaxers... but again now it is hoaxers because joe is hoaxers too... but you know what it really is super gfx but maybe you should explore some new stuff to portray because robotic women you have done to splendor and no one can do those better than you, show something else is my wish if i could have a wish?
Splendor pixels... man it is... it is mathemagical pixels in a shape of the known from you making a mood... the highres font is sure clean and the globe looked vastly impressive on the bigscreen... it is almost so you should have laced it to get more holographic mood in it? I do not know but i feel that.
Hoaxers... You made solskogen, you ruled the party! And to see you hug and be so excited and friends was just the very reason why i started to do pixels again on c64... friendship! |

Lovely demo, and the Star Trek:Voyager tune was brilliant. Good work, guys!
I would hate if REU became the new standard, but an occasional REU demo or two doesn't hurt, and this one was a joy to watch. :) |

Motion Pixel Association... ;-)
I love the design and story line here, although the story feels kind of interrupted at times. Why not a 100% story lined demo? However a really enjoyable demo and the end part is one of the nicest screens ever IMHO! (I call it "World in Joe's hands")
And I loved the line "Money is money but women are better" :)
I think it's cool to have another REU demo, although it does raise expectations. I understand Groepaz here.
And for those who don't have a REU (also for everyone else) I can warmly recommend a 1541 Ultimate. It emulates any REU just fine. |

"the problem is that it works in the vice enulator with any ram size, but we came across problems when running it on the 1541U."
doh. so you made it not work on real REU with different size because of 1541u bugs? *shrug* (i thought wraparound bug had been fixed in 1541u? or is configureable at least?) |

| @Count Zero: the problem is that it works in the vice enulator with any ram size, but we came across problems when running it on the 1541U. Easy fix was to limit ram size, hard fix would require me to abandon my family :-) This was mostly a time constraint matter. It may work on an original reu, but we reckoned that noone owned it anyway, so. [edit we do have the code to do the check without limit of upper size, but I have no hardware to test it on at the moment] |

Nice one with nice gfx showing the capabilities of long time underestimated hardware (in a proper demo - not "just" some animation) - and now tell me why this thing does NOT work on my original 2 MB CMD REU clone??? :)
You didn't fail to do a proper check there, did you? From all the whining here about it actually using a REU I cannot see a single complaint about someone having to limit the REU size to get it working - the only valid complaint really.
You ALL should have access to REU or REU emulation in some way and shall not complain about its availability.
Just some months ago xscpu64 was introduced and many were highly interested suddenly in the most obscure things for SCPU - will it take another 10 years until the very same discussion happens here? |

| Just love it, only down is that the REU-effects are a bit boring and predictable. Why not put the REU in use and make unexpanded all-border-graphics and stuff like that? |

PAL: most of the people who mentioned the REU thing also wrote that this is a great demo (I am one of those people). I hope you don't consider all of *those* comments negative/grumpy too?
Grasstust: the only person I see commenting without having seen the demo so far is CreaMD, who is very positive about the usage of REU in his comment. |

DEAR firehawk and all hoaxers... You must not let the bad stuff on the csdb grab you... I did that when I had bad times in my life and I became an asshole myself and complained about really great stuff... sorry again triad... There are too many unhappy people on here that get energy from being complainers and negative. so let us just stay above that! The demo is super and you are super and we should have super times making demos! Making demos with RAU or no RAU just because we love it ourself, not to make a lousy grumpy lost one happy, because he will never be anyway... if he get pussy he want tits, if he get tits he want bigger tits... if he get bigger tits he will crave for asshole... if he get asshole he will go for pussy... there is no use... here is a milkshake... namnam... NO... wreaaalll... i wanted vanilla, not strawberry.... here is strawberry... ooohhhh... i hate it... want chocolate. Spoiled brats... Hoaxers made a big demo and used a lot of time on it...
YOU MADE A COOL DEMO AND YOU HAD A BLAST AT THE PARTY - KEEP THAT !!! |

| Nice to see a lot of positive comments, and yeah, it's got some cool visuals and routines but damn, I'm happy somebody mentioned the music particularly... Response absolutely kicks ass and the last tune with the spinning globe I've listened to more than anything these last few weeks of intense work. Go check out his winning compo tunes for this party also. Anyway, proud to be apart of this demo and the great team making it. And oh, if you wanna complain or give us an attitude, please at least SEE THE DEMO FIRST. Then hammer us like there's no tomorrow! :) |

Thanks for the comments.
Firehawk will give you the technical details later, but basicly we use REU for the fast memory transfer (DMA).

| Stock hardware means something which is really common, and most of us could start a demo on it. Not old, or... well whatever. |
User Comment

| Firehawk, I don't consider a 512k REU from 1985 and the extra powerful PSU you need to use one "stock hardware". None of the sceners I knew had a REU, it was fairly rare. |
User Comment
Submitted by Firehawk on 14 July 2013
| Mermaid: the 512Kb REU _is_ stock hardware from the old days, just like disk drive, tape drive, printer, joystick etc. Although the REU was not utilized much (or sold much), the demo is runnable from a 1985 C64 with origional HW - without preloading the REU memory. |
User Comment
Submitted by Mermaid on 14 July 2013
Congratulations guys, great demo with expertly crafted visuals and music!
Personally I like it best when C64 (and Vic 20) demos run on stock hardware, so I hope that 512k REU doesn't become the new standard. |

Thanx to 1541U there is a big chance that REU becomes a part of standard C64 configuration. I don't mind. I believe in 1541U. It increased my productivity when I needed it most, and it feels very good whenever I use it.
And as this demo is concerned. Didn't see it yet, but the more reasons for 1541u becoming standard the better. |
User Comment
Submitted by Radiant on 14 July 2013
After viewing the demo once, the floffy scroller was the only thing in it that looked like it really drew advantage of the REU DMA capabilities. Many nice artwork pieces by Joe, but on the other hand I felt that the rendition of the Voyager title theme was cringeworthy, sorry.
While I think it's kind of cool to see what can be wrought out of an REU, it does feel a bit like making demos for another machine, and in that case I prefer the DTV. |

| Yeah, REU might be a turn off; I would like an answer to Groepaz question too. Make a non-REU version perhaps? Kill some darlings and keep the gold? ;) The demo itself is really stylish btw. Good music, great gfx and effects. Especially the swirl-scroller! |
User Comment

| it's really a nice demo with great visuals. most sceners likes no additional hardware requirements but i think we have enough of that kind. i think it's ok to use REU as long as you don't claim breaking a world record. ;) |

| mmmh. although there is a bunch of very cool stuff here i am kinda disappointed due to the fact it requires REU. and i really wonder what does actually require it, the anim at the end? :) |
