Absolutely stunning! This must be the first "storytelling with fractals"-demo ever :-) The last scene (the space castle) is just breathtaking... Congrats!

Magic, fractal flames rocks!

The font ruins it.

BEst use of coder colors... ever?

really beautiful, especially towards the end. the music sucks.
rulez added on the 2007-08-21 01:48:24 by Bobic Bobic
Even if at some parts a bit boring, some other parts are quite beatiful fractal particles! Based on one single concept it's good enough.

my personal compo winner
music is nice, but could be better
rulez added on the 2007-08-21 01:59:13 by elkmoose elkmoose
Blazing graphics... so trippy... so many particles... so fast... looks like a gazillion particles at times... how??? The flower blossoming scene... so great. Yes, I'm somewhat speechless.

Nice but a bit boring.
For the last scene expecially.

stunning visuals and chiptune, should have won :/

the bigscreen prolly didn't justice to its granular visuals...
rulez added on the 2007-08-21 10:12:47 by Zest Zest
i like the flowers especially!
rulez added on the 2007-08-21 10:19:42 by jaw jaw
what xernobyl said: the font totally ruins it! which is a shame, since this piece itself is a true gem with a very straight concept and marvelous visuals.
rulez added on the 2007-08-21 10:22:49 by monroe monroe
really liked it. great music for starters. and the IFS fractals are really done in a very effective way most of the time. the font is ugly indeed.. still very pretty, overall. it should have been a 64K (or 4K if that's possible)
rulez added on the 2007-08-21 10:27:09 by earx earx
That part with what looks like a Sierpinski tetrahedron made of spheres instead of triangles is just beautiful. Overall really nice colorful trip. Thanks !

Seven's best work, huge improvement over last year's entry which was really good but suffered from design choices. Finally a demo of Electric Sheep in realtime (:

Say, since it's SDL, can you get the source out so we can attempt to port it?

So they try to out-traction traction. Where is your glow filter? :P

It reminds me of playing with the mirror tool in Deluxe Paint.

Demo is ok, but not worth a thumb either way.

not bad, could be done in 64k.
ugly colors & postprocessing, get a graphician next time. piggy for flame fractals/ifs

The colors totally destroyed this one for me.
added on the 2007-08-21 19:47:30 by chock chock
long time that a demo has taken me that far.. lil problems with the colors, and lowres font, except that its really a pleasure to watch. (and think.. :) )

I loved this 64K, best of Buenzli 2007 for me, well done! :-)

very nice fractal show, especially the last skyscrapper scene is a perfect state of art.

still as nice as i told you at buenzli :) good work!
rulez added on the 2007-08-21 23:30:59 by nemesis nemesis
everything could be done in 64kb, but thats not the point!
many nice fractals, but reptetive use of them, and the lack of none-linear moves made this mediocre. it flows well, and that is interesting, but it doesn't validate use of patterns of fractals.
added on the 2007-08-22 01:25:46 by quisten quisten
ugly and beautiful in equal measures

Flame fractals are a nice thing :)

Very nice chillin atmosphere here. And I really really like the soundtrack. Great job Seven and Psitron (Music).

Seven=Code ,Psitron= Music I mean of course...

Doesn't work here.

Anyway, greetings to Seven, was interesting to see you coding on the demo almost the whole party. :)

nice mood, motives and colors(?) .. nah.. nice to see something that easypeacy

Way to go Fulcrum. I loved the heliosphere last year and I love this one too. =)

saw it live at buenzli and really liked it. is there a video somewhere for us linux guys?
rulez added on the 2007-08-29 16:38:19 by cockroach cockroach
Stunning, I thought. Great use of fractals and it flows well. And yes, the font ruins it a bit.

cool use of fractals

Visuals gets boring after a while, and the music ruins it for me.
Sorry, but no thanks.

it has something ultra cool in it. i just haven't figured out yet what it is.

This is one strange production.
On one side, it looks beautiful, but strange.
On the other hand I feel like this is just coder-pr0n.
Piggy.
Strange but original. It's a pity that the typography for greetings and credits breaks demo design a bit

Something beautiful, something ugly, something boring. Piggy.

Could finally watch this on my machine now, thanks Seven! :) Simply beautiful demo and very nice music as well. Parts of it remind me of stuff good old Dweezil did on Amiga all those years ago. :)
rulez added on the 2007-09-27 13:33:37 by StingRay StingRay
Very nice idea. But it seems to demand even more attention to storytelling, camera and editing. Didn't like the music, though.

not much in the way of effects. and I choose widescreen, and didnt get true widescreen.

I got tired watching it. The last minute or so saves it from thumbe down. And yeah the font absolutely killed it.

really cool concept demo. only the music was not my taste.
rulez added on the 2008-03-19 18:38:49 by v3nom v3nom
Plain dots and senseless paatterns - resulting in an awesome demo with a tune that really matches the visuals. Should have scored better.

Great idea.

Some nice visuals but pretty ugly mostly (empty black backgrounds, mindless colors...). The track gives it a nice atmosphere but the way it's produced just makes it sounds so wrong... mild piggy.
