Live recording from the Commodore 64 demo competition at Breakpoint 2007 of the Desert Dream. Turn up the volume real loud if you want to get an idea of the atmosphere there IRL.

I'd like to express that there's more behind the effects than what meets the eye. To keep up with the very fast pace of the original ie. to reduce black screens and loading times we used two techniques:


1. many effects do their precalculations 'realtime'. for example at the dot tunel the coordinates of the dots are calculated right before the effect starts.

2. the frame rate of all effects are rounded up to an integer number. so if an effect would be 2.3 frames then it will take 3 frame instead, and the leftover .7 frame is used for loading. all non 50fps parts are loosing speed due to this.
