Excellent style, feel, music was gorgeous. Visuals are some of the best I've seen from trbl so far. Awesome. The greetz were beautifully executed too.

Awesome!

A really remarkable improvement and extension over your previous style - not saying that it was bad, but this demo was really beautifully designed and the music was also awesome. Really well done, guys!

Excellent work guys! The tune fits the gorgeous visuals really well, and sync is done with good taste. More 2D please!

Clearly the music is the strong thing here. Alpha_C, this is at least one of your, if not THE best track you made so far, imho. I love it! Wonderfully fits the visuals.

That's quite nice webgl demo, interesting minimalistic style, runs nicely here.

mogdesign to rule the world, definitely a compo favorite

quite nice track too (more of the please), albeit a bit plain sounding

lovely style, reminded me of blasphemy demos. each prod you release is better and better!

THAT MUSIC!!

Some good design ideas in this as well, no doubt about it, but it doesn't deliver enough for that beauty of a soundtrack.

Great, great music! The graphics, while minimalistic, would look nice on their own. The combination is rather excellent.

Oh, and congrats on winning that special style/design prize! BB Image Some parts of the graphs + music reminded me of a typical Visualice prod. Oh, and I especially liked the greetings! :)
Damn, this rules in all ways!

Exelent Demo

apart from the 2fps on my mac it looked pretty decent and clean. music was lovely aswell. the demo could probably have used a few more syncs considering how intricate the soundtrack was.

Alpha C, fantastic music. Feels like being in the end of the 90s again with this lovely music. m0g, absolutely fantastic design. You both rock!

very stylish, both audio & visual-wise.
indeed some blasphemy vibes, which is a really good thing!

there is room for improvment in the direction/consistency but definitely one of the memorable prods of 2013 for me.
rulez added on the 2013-08-19 11:30:29 by wullon wullon
Design'y, in the good way. Very 90s-sounding soundtrack which I liked. Felt "danish", if that makes sense :)
rulez added on the 2013-08-19 12:04:32 by gloom gloom
Loved this one at the party: style, design, feeling, put me in a good mood (:
rulez added on the 2013-08-19 12:29:55 by alk alk
i like the 90s-soundtrack. reminds me of the good old demos with idm.
there is somewhat little content, but the overall design compensates this fact.

some scenes are way too long, but this is awesome anyway. especially music.

Thanks for the kind words, it's very motivating and we'll keep trying to improve :).

As some of you noticed, we were indeed inspired by late 90s demo style (Blasphemy being one particularly big influence). We spent about two weeks on it, and as we were a bit pressed for time towards the end direction and syncing suffered a bit. We will try to make amends for future productions :).

@Optimus: it's pure HTML5/JS, no WebGL was involved at all.

@wullon Definitely, I think the third scene is too long, and could have had more shenanigans. Same with the second scene, which has a multiply effect I didn't really show off. Same with consistency, I was working on something at Friday morning to glue the scenes together more but didn't find time to finish that, because the sync for the third and fourth scene was still missing - and the greeter wasn't even done yet too.

So, thing is, both Alpha C and me knew that when we handed it in - one hour before deadline - but we were also tired (who wasn't :). Two weeks syncing, coding and making music really is tedious if you only have time before and after work. We could have waited for another party, but it's evoke - the party with the most stylish invitations ever, so we wanted to give something back.

That said, KKowboy is for us both still the go to demo for the design fix - so reading the comparison feels like dreaming.

Also don't be afraid to tell us what's wrong with the demo, critic is good - it only helps us to improve - which we definitely have to.

Thanks again for all the kind words, and critics <3

great music, slick design (some scenes are blasphemy/purple quality) and that blue overlay :)
but i think most scenes are too long. pls release shorter edit/remix.
still probably my favourite prod at evoke 2013.

ps. remember, too much love will kill you.

Very slick design and colour choise. Tune positively combines, in my ears, the soundtracks of Madwizard's Cull Bazaar + Another Dream Away spiced up with a portion of Farbrausch's Poem To A Horse.

Brings back that wondeful early-00s Bypass 64k feeling (and that's not a jab at the size really).

A few criticisms I have:
- Individual parts sit on way too long without variation.
- Kaleidoscope had really big visible edges.
- The effects themselves are not THAT interesting.
- Ugliest launcher ever ;P

Reminiscent of Designer's Republic, Adsinpz, RZR.... but is its own.

Classy as fook.

This prod definitely rules. This is a nice talents gathering.
Your scenes are too long, though.
Your design skills rock.
Keep going <3

oh, and fixed version of your nfo file instead of the first one.
here and here as a file.
if you use pablodraw to make your asciis, you have to know that saving a file with the .nfo extension won't work. save as .txt or .asc, and rename it to .nfo.

Definitely liked this except for the opening scene where they drew over the frame graphic.

The colors felt slightly off too, but that may be because I dislike that color pink. Other than that, very interesting . . . if a bit long. I can't remember if this is one of the demos I said was exactly as long as the track (a syndrome I wish folks would prevent by doing the track last), but still, promising.

Nice design.

Hey metoikos thanks for input, some nice point with drawing over the frame in the beginning - I didn't even thought about it this way, something I'll keep in mind for the next one.
For the pink I need your help which scene you mean, not a fan of pink either - but it puzzles me, do you mean the kaleidoscope scene?

And yes some parts are too long, next time we'll take ourselves more time to fill those gaps.

Thanks for the input <3
