A fantastic demo, really beautifully put together. The GFX are an absolute standout - so I was surprised to see that they may not be exclusive to this demo.
Anyway, really nicely put together and a demo I keep coming back to.
*edit* .. I just double checked the pics and, yeah, all except one (the Artillery pic at the beginning) were either released individually or used in a previous demo (Amplifire by Instinct). |

| SID is amazing, but I just get the blue scren with the music and no graphics. Do I need REU? |

| From me 7/10. It has really awesome potential with the Artillery music which is just perfect. But the design of the demo does not fit with music at all. I mean literally having that great music I would add INC $D020 to just have this improvised. Music 15/10, Design 3/10, Code I haven't time to look due to bad Design. By the way this is my TOP personal music track ever. |

| Only thing that's annoying is that you can't boot with * by default, but you can move the file to the top of the dir without causing issues. |

| Lately I rarely watch the same demos twice... however Artillery I watch again and again! It just sits. The music is sooooo fantastic from the first second on, it's got great design, perfect transitions and wonderful gfx plus decent coding. I just love the ride. |

| This has to be one of my favourite C64 demos ever. Fantastic graphics, great effects and a truly fantastic soundtrack. Ever since I watched this for the first time, I'm not sure the wistful melody ever left my head... |

Awesome demo! one of my favourite! not the best ever technically speaking, but everything is very well done, the demo has a very good flow so you reach the end without any boring moment, and of course both music and gfx are really really great!
perhaps the best, and biggest amount in term of quality and quantity of graphics on C64 :D |

Solid release. Beautiful SID. We want to see more, guys!
I have to type LOAD"ARTILLERY /SHAPE",8 then RUN in VICE. But since Heavy Stylus mentioned this I got to it fast. |

Wow man, I'm glad I stumbled into this demo.
I have to give it to Geir, the SID is absolute amazing, with lots of variety (melody and arpeggio as part of the melody etc.) and evolving the whole time.

| @Conjuror, yes, thats an old nice upscroller effect. But I think Wile wants a horizontal scroller. |
User Comment
Submitted by Conjuror on 6 March 2011
@6r6 or even an 80 column scroller like in the second part of this demo: Liquid Metal
Starts off 40 cols. |
User Comment
Submitted by 6R6 on 6 March 2011
| :-) Wile, Yes using the $3fff bug, you can have a 40 chars wide scroller in the lower border. Unexpanded gfx. You need a REU to make it possible. |

@6r6 You make it sound so simple. I don't recall seeing this effect in any other demo?
Can it be used to create lower border scrollers wider than 8 non expanded sprites :D |

Honestly... Did you listen to this music already? Is it for real??? The first time I was watching^H^H experiencing Artillery, it struck me right in the heart.
This has got to be one of the best SIDs ever composed! Besides from being technically and musically perfected (and all that), it touches you. It makes you weak and it gives you strength. It's sad but at the same time it's full of hope. I swear, it's the first SID that made me cry.
We love you Geir! Thanks for blessing us with your work!
(Oh yeah, the rest of the demo is also high class, especially the Archmage wizardry that we more and more are getting used to, but never can't seem to get enough of! =)
Keep up the good work, guys! |

This demo really gave me a moment in time. The song is probably one of the best I have ever heard in this time of my life, so to speak. The effects are nice and really give that piece of extra to the whole demo.
Very good demo and music! Well done guys and good luck in the future :) |

| This demo features the best technical sid tune ever... it is so perfected Geir... I urge you to just release a tune or two a year but with the same handcraft put into this one... style is something one can argue but this is the best sid I ever have had in the c64... it is marvelous... it sound just so incredible right and proper. That would be my argue, it is too perfect maybe... but for me that is the coolest... Love it so much! |

very nice to watch those great gfx in the context of a demo. Especially being accompanied by this "OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!! WHAT KIND OF SICK AWESOMENESS!! UNBELIVABLY GREAT!!! COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED ME, LIFE WILL NOT BE SAME FROM NOW ON, I AM A DIFFERENT PERSON" soundtrack :)
Geir dude WTF! I salute you
Codewise, clean but just a bit slow at times (the colorram effects behind the bitmaps) The twister is my most favorite part of the demo code-wise. |

| Well, offence have always been faster than blackmail... ha ha... I used a lot of time to get into the scene again Geir, but it had to be so because of life. I would love to have that music in the part we know but then again it works so perfectly in the shape demo so I think that is even cooler to using it there. But we are back and will give out a demo soon too... The cool thing about the scene, I almost think this is the coolest, there are no deadlines other than the ones one put on ourselves and that is cool, not like at my office and have to deliver every day. I love that about the scene... time is mostly no issue in a way... hey we do create stuff on a computer that were released in 1982... that is soon 29 years ago... that is a timeframe for you right there... Hope to see you all on X, and after the demo Artillery I really hope there will be a new shape demo too... |

(comment no.2)
The intro complete with Tetris shapes. As much as it rocked, it would have rocked even harder, if the shapes exited via the lower border :D
Also, as much as the speed suited the demo, could the speed at which the Tetris shapes fall have been faster? |

Actually this tune was made allready in april 2008. I Tried to convince PAL/Offence to look at the scene activity and get involved, but he took a year until he reacted. It was first planned for Offence. GRG's demo was getting together more quickly, about 2 years quicker. :) But I guess Offence will show up with something cool sound-wise from some cool guy you haven't heard from in decades. :)
Takk to those who like it. I'm quite bored of it (the tune). LOL |

What a lovely demo! Great tune Geir, it keeps evolving all the way through and never gets dull. Awesome work guys!
(I initially had trouble running it in VICE, but after reading GRGs note I disabled all but one disk drive and it worked fine) |

Graphics are just great, but most of them are not exclusively made for the demo I think, it was used in some demos(amplifire) and compos(concubism, datazombies from hell, lick it oldshool) So this demo isn't graphically impressive for me.
Music is outstanding.Amazing sounds and catchy melodies. Really delicious.
Also twister looks really cool, some screens designed well like equalizer and some trasitions are well made. |

| I like the style and the design of this. Fun transitions and fade-in/outs. I like the chunky plasma under bitmap!...of course I have the advantage of not being around the 64 during the PC-effects explosion, so I never got jaded to that stuff :) Also, the twister implementations were original too I thought. The pics were great of course. 9+ to 10! |

| Archmage... I have looked at this over and over again today and you are a true master... one could argue the style, but there is no way in hell one could argue the craft you have put into this... so a 10 for me on that alone. Very good use of multicolor, some of the best ever created on the c64 in my mind when I really investigate your creations... |

Nice!
...and I also liked how the BFP-pic with the C64 was first shown in the original orientation with the C64 keyboard mirrored (i.e. Datazombies From Hell ), but then flipped so the C64 keyboard was instead shown in the correct orientation. Finally! Justice! ;)
Also.. Too bad Archmage doesn't have a handle that starts with G too. ;) |
