| The branches are lovely, and many of the other parts look cool. The bleepy chaotic music is not my thing though... |

| Really like this demo! Code and visuals are really great. But the music is just too crazy for my taste.. Drags down my overall impression as I really found it disturbing more than enchanting. Anyway, great work! :) |

Different, in every imaginable and unimaginable way. Which in this case is definitely NOT a bad thing!
Unique, well executed, experimental music like you've never heard on C64 before, and slightly disturbing too. While watching this I'm not on my safe cosy C64 demo planet but experimenting something otherworldy.
Modern art in its best form. |

Today is the first time i have seen this demo, and i must say that i am truly truly amazed by this one. Completely making me forget this is a c64 i am watching. Amazing, amazing, amazing. One of the best things i have seen so far.
and yeah, i loved the music too :) cannot find the sid in hvsc though... |

| The music is way too experimental for me, otherwise an excellent production. One of the best C64 demos of 2007. |

| I first heard the soundtrack yesterday at the goto80 concert in Lüneburg, and of course I HAD to watch the demo now. Absolutely great and very creative. I dig these hires and full frame rate effects. I wonder how I managed to miss it (in fact the complete Backslash party). |

| thanks for keeping the borders clean! (I didn't notice it at first, which is a good thing; I usually spot design flaws that are caused by including borders in the screen composition, for example in Manhood 2, where the car vanishes into thin air) |

| Superb demo. The opening part may be the best ever. I would give it a 10 if it only did something in the border at least once:) |

| frantic, actually they are sort of inspired by the last part in demotronic. i had that part in mind, aswell as lots of mfx/kwl/sts demos with tunnels. http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1164 is another one i had in mind while doing the demo, without actually managing to do anything like it |

@Frantic: Hehe, not at all actually. All those parts were done by Hollowman, but perhaps he was inspired by your GBC demo(?). I think not however. ;D
@Nightlord: I did the basic fade, the growing stuff and the tubes. Hollowman did the rest. I linked my stuff and he linked his stuff. All in all it was a pleasure to work with Hollowman as always. Goto80 did the music and me and Hollowman tried our best to sync to it. |

very nice demo. it is always a good day when you have a fairlight demo, or an instinct demo, or a triad demo, or any combination of the three...
is there a note file that I missed or do we not know who did what again :)

@Jackasser: Were these backgrounds behind the buddha inspired by our GBC demo? :) |

| motion, assembly 2004 invitation/moppi is the source of inspiration for that part |
User Comment
Submitted by Motion on 11 July 2007
Are the growing branches inspired by the FLT PC demo that was entered into the Intel Duo, short demo contest? ...or was it another group? I could be wrong!
Nicely done guys...

| This is a really nice demo. Really coherent for beeing done by two coders, and the organic growth-plant in the beginning is the only thing that doesn't fit perfectly with the rest. I really like Hollowmans theme, code and graphics in this one - for sure one of his best achievements so far. |

| Now I'm finally home, where the machine allowed me to have a look at this thing again. It's very good, and especially the first part is just awesome. The whole package is very smoothly put together, maybe a bit too smooth for me, but Goto80's music adds some well needed dirtiness. Not your typical Hollowman demo, but I guess JackAsser might have a good/bad influence on his creative organs. It's nice to see him put together some parts that aren't just insane in the coding department, but also imaginative. |

Some superb ideas + coding here. The growing thing in the beginning is something very cool!
However, the overall 'monochrome' feeling of the demo is a bit of a downside, but is ok. The music is a matter of taste as always, for me it's a bit on the odd side. Also too bad the demo hangs on c128d. |

| I had been getting previews from my bro (JackAsser) before this was released, but it was a surprise to see the final version, how it all fits together so perfectly. To you who didn't like the music, I recommend 'Allsång på Skansen' instead. ;-) |

Very nice. Some fresh effects, and once again I'm also beaten to release on a few ideas I've had kicking around. note to self: release stuff!
Nice design too, but not quite as strong as (say) Mathematica, which is why I gave it an 8 rather than 9. Need fractional votes! ;-) |

| WVL: Personally I reckon people should just set the emulator sound buffer to something a bit more sensible than 350 ms. |

| @ZZAP69: That's because we never used the latest version of the loader. Krill has fixed this problems multiple times already. The loader used here is the same one that was used in The Wild Bunch. |

Only the music is ruining it for me :-/

Some ok screens.
Feels like a typical televisioncommercial design or fetched from some X-program seen on television mixed with some typical 1990s technovideo (Eat Static, for example...)
But one of the most beautiful demos I have seen in a ... long while. But really what the fuck is up with the music. It starts so great but the sounds are really wasted. Thank you.

Refreshing!
I saw those growing lines on TV the other day and wondered if it would be possible to do that on C64... it obviously is :D
And that pipe effect is very cool too.
Yay \o/! |

| congrats!!! top fairlight and instinct quality! what i like is the consistent flow and design, the transitions and the overall pace. i very much loved the balls flying around that candy cane. the soundtrack is a bit too much psycho for me, as i just got up. ;) instead the music should have set a stronger counterpoint to the speed of the effects. that would have been more appealing to me. ... in dubio pro reo: 9/10 ;) |
