I must say I love your concept demos. Always interesting, always fresh. And the mirrow cube - wtf - just WOW!

Beautiful! ..and yeah, I remember, color TVs used to be pretty expensive back in the day...

This is one of my favorite products from 2020. I really enjoyed the voxel-head and the mirror-cube. Graphics are tasteful and coherent. Plus nice soundtrack.

Very original demo with good looking ideas, and that article "behind the scenes..." fulfil that greatness of the entire production. Lethargy <3

This demo has some great ideas, some of them look just awesome!! Low framerate on a few parts, which i'm sure could have been faster, but all in all a great production!

I didn't even think about the bitmap using a sprite-layer, great thinking! Also a very nice demo with some interesting parts. Nice to get some words on the process (in the production note)!

Thought I praised this with comments here, but obviously not (must have been on a certain twitch channel where it was played;)).

Once again: great demo, really nice effects embedded in an even nicer concept! Liked the turning mirror cube and the twister most (the latter even looking like being interlaced which I'm in love with)!

So, the only reason for this not winning Gubbdata can only be that the voters wanted to support the Lethargy-guys in falling into this very state;)

This is really well done. I love the premise and the idea and there is a lot of gorgeous shading going on in this one. I disagree that limiting was a bad idea, this shows how to be creative without trying to use everything. Not as fully polished as some of the other gubbdata releases, but I love that it is a full demo and not a one parter. Well done!

some parts are super sweet like the twister, some effects lacked tempo to speak of perfection. but very enjoyable stuff, especially music

Tons of great art was made in B/W.

I love this demo, definitely one of the best from this year's Gubb in my opinion!

Some very nice coding here! A great technical production.

Graphics are good - but I think the theme of the demo made it difficult for the art to "shine" in a way.. it's very hard to make nice art using only greys ;-)

Tough competition at Gubb this year for this to get only a #4! I would've placed it #2 myself, being a code pr0n lover.

We were happy to see so many entries on Gubbdata 2020 and congratulations to all participants! However, the jury decision made us fall into lethargy 8-) , but the lots of positive comments and feedback we have received, let alone the CSDB user rating is a real compensation for us. ;) Appreciate and thank you very much! Keep dreaming!

Aweeesome! Lots of content tightly sync'ed, backed up with a trademark funky-as-hell Vincenzo soundtrack and presented in full, ehh.. greyscale. :D Love it. <3

@Doc: thanks, the sytlye of Atl demos never really worked for me, leaving Atl and joining Lethargy was good to find my motivation it seems. Congrats for your 2nd place!

Some nice chunky-style effects in this one!
Watching the compo I also thought that this was going to win, so ending up outside the top 3 is a bit surprising.

I seriously thought this would win, especially knowing the jury members predilection for complexity. A very good demo indeed.
