Extremely clever stuff, one of the best sound tracks as of late and I particularly like the texts.
"We don't do it because it's hard, but because it's impossible" is such a nice twist to the famous quote. And being this kind of ghost for someone.. is big. Congratulations. | User Comment Submitted by 褧iηk on 21 April 2024 User Comment Submitted by trident on 6 April 2024
the final picture was slightly glitched in the demo (due to a miss in the code, not due to the graphics itself) so here is a fixed version: PCB Ghost (fixed) | User Comment Submitted by Angel of Death on 22 February 2024
Only just now seen it but thanks for the greetings guys! | User Comment Submitted by Yogibear on 21 February 2024 User Comment Submitted by Pantaloon on 15 February 2024 User Comment Submitted by Quiss on 14 February 2024
What the... how the... how does... how can he even... HOW?!? | User Comment Submitted by Hate Bush on 13 February 2024
innovative code that i (unsurprisingly) don't understand.
absolutely face-smacking graphics, three pixel-masters and a coherent style - a lot of communication must have taken place.
music has this MASSIVE drums, one can't resist dancing (while watching, hm).
all in all another great achievement. | User Comment Submitted by 4gentE on 13 February 2024 User Comment Submitted by Jucke on 12 February 2024
Wow. What a demo. Makes it feel like the c64 never had any borders. Mad coding skills. Fresh ideas. U go Trident! | User Comment Submitted by Wile Coyote on 12 February 2024
Watched this again today, and love it!
Also, the audio is really something. Is it a cover in anyway, as a small part of the tune reminds me of a song i cannot place for the moment :) | User Comment Submitted by Stone on 12 February 2024
Amazing show. Absolutely loved it :D | User Comment Submitted by Dan on 12 February 2024
Excellent demonstration of what can be done with ghostbytes. Kudos to Trident for following through with the concept! He has already shown a plethora of use cases, and I'm sure that this demo stirs a lot of coders to come up with even more. | User Comment Submitted by MCM on 12 February 2024
Really great demo, i love all about it and of course some extra love for the impressive Trident work AGAIN !! ;)= | User Comment Submitted by Raistlin on 12 February 2024
I took my time writing this as I wanted time to properly debug this just to be sure that I was guessing right about how various bits were done (we all tell ourselves that we know the VIC .. but sometimes demos come along that make us think "but is there more..?"). And, yeah, this demo takes things that we've seen in OnlySprites entries (and others) and just does them much more cleanly - so clean that we question whether they really can be "just clever ghostbyte use".
Great demo, really nice use of ghostbyte - the part with multiple scrollers being especially nice. I know it's "just" a matter of getting the black bits into the right order to create the appearance of a hi-res font but, wow, great work there - truly showing Redcrab's pixelling skills under tight "hardware rules".
The music, graphics and code really come together to make a very cool and polished demo.
Hope you FLT guys will save up some steam to make a big multi-disk demo for X. Trident is absolutely on fire - reminds me of how we were in the late 80s, rapidly release one demo after another (but these Trident demos are of course much better than those 80s demos).
Congrats, team! | User Comment Submitted by Walt on 11 February 2024 User Comment Submitted by Dymo on 11 February 2024 User Comment Submitted by Flex on 11 February 2024
@redcrab: Thanks for digging up those ghostbyte ideas. So awesome to see we can still find fields that are not completely researched. | User Comment Submitted by redcrab on 11 February 2024
After Tridents excellent talk about ghostbytes last Fjälldata, I couldn’t resist trying to make a font. That one ended up in the Next Level demo together with Mahoney. While doing that I realised there’s quite some potential in this and designed more fonts and some other “impossible” ghosbyte stuff. I asked Trident if he was up for making a whole demo based on ghosbytes and he immediately started to make more incredible effects and routines. :) We have had so much fun doing this and I bet this won’t be the last coop from us in this field. Big thanks to the Sarge and Pal for helping out wrapping this up the last weeks. | User Comment Submitted by Mikael on 11 February 2024
Incredible demo! I can imagine sitting in that room watching – must have been sensational. There were some true ”scene moments” that could be felt all the way through the stream, like the Panoramic connection. Spooky, just how good it was. | User Comment Submitted by HCL on 11 February 2024
Magic really happened yesterday night at Fjälldata while this was running on the big screen!! There were many other great releases there also, but this one brought a tilt to the time-space-continuum that i haven't experienced in a looong time! Still after looking at it on emu without video filters, this shouldn't be possible. | User Comment Submitted by Didi on 11 February 2024
So beautiful and everything in high resolution. <3
Great job overall! | User Comment Submitted by Jetboy on 11 February 2024
Awesome! So many clever tricks here! Definitely coders porn! And stylish too! Rain scene has blown me away. | User Comment Submitted by Slajerek on 11 February 2024
When I saw this demo on stream yesterday for quite many effects I had just one thing in my mind "that is indeed impossible", that hires on borders crossing all possible boundaries was really something special. Congrats. I know that these are ghost byte tricks and I understand how this might work, but nevertheless it is really mind blowing crafting. | User Comment Submitted by hedning on 11 February 2024
What a surprise! Awesome! | User Comment Submitted by katon on 11 February 2024 User Comment Submitted by Wile Coyote on 11 February 2024 User Comment Submitted by Zeus on 11 February 2024
The Ghost Byte Master is again having your back. Wonderful effects, excellent execution. | User Comment Submitted by theK on 11 February 2024
Beautiful execution! Lovely demo!
The timing of the music is perfect!
I especially love the tune for first side. True inspiration! :) | User Comment Submitted by Mixer on 11 February 2024
Brilliant stuff :) The Panoramic tribute was funny and the last picture about the demo theme is spot on. | User Comment Submitted by Magic on 11 February 2024
Every quirk inside the c64 isnt safe for the Trident!
馃敱 Does it again.. Sarge on board to..
Nice demo.. very nice.. | User Comment Submitted by ChristopherJam on 11 February 2024
Oh get absolutely fucked, you can't do any of that! Well ok, maybe half of those things. The rest are definitely impossible.
Beautifully done, well designed, and excellent tune and imagery. Five stars. | User Comment Submitted by Joe on 11 February 2024 User Comment Submitted by Flex on 11 February 2024
Crazy cool effects and I sure have a sweet spot for oldskool references (Panoramic screen)..
Great job by everyone involved, but especially Trident seems to be unstoppable atm. |
