It was already super-cool, but the ships make it awesome!

well that was super cool, looks to be partly inspired by the amazing cdak, but also adds enough of its own stamp to make it truly great in its own right, love the spaceships, and the audio fits perfectly too.

Nice! At first i thought the music is going to be another boring bumbum untz 4k sound but it turned into very nice stuff later. Cool 4k but not even near the majesty of cdak yet, imho :)

Until space ships part it's boring as hell, but I like the music and those ships.

Very stale geometry, this wasn't exciting even two, three years ago. The glow and its patterns is very cool though, as are the ships. The colors seem quite a random mixture, but agan it all comes very wel together on the spaceship part... That really should've been the main thing to focus and build upon here I think :). The music is not really anything special, but I like how it builds that one chord over time into a nice little climax. Overall, almost great!

absolutely great 4K!!

The main downside for me is that the music sounds a bit too much 4K-ish (while the visuals could make you think you're in a 64K or a demo), but I like the soundtrack very much nevertheless (what noby said).

Congratz, one of the best 4K of the recent years

This looks awesome. Even though the sound is simple, it fits perfectly in my opinion, except maybe for the spaceship part. There I'd liked something a little more aggressive.

It has a beginning/middle/end which is more than what most 4ks can say; that being said the lighting makes things hard to see.

during the ships part the overbright got way too much, pretty much saturated any detail

I usually don't like 4k demos because most of them lack any flow or progression. This is different here, very nice! Visuals in general are good too, although this typical raymarching-y look is a bit boring. But overall solid thumb up!

Brilliant. Thank you so much for this release.

The cdak with neons was already great, especially this Blade Runner look, but then the ships and the 2001 A Space Odyssey scene took it to the next level.

Visually beautiful. Aurally... not so much. I think the visuals deserve nicer music than this, and would probably have sacrificed the 4k limit to make that happen personally. Still, for 4k the visuals are fantastic :)

Nice 4k there, gratz! :)
Music really could have been better! ;) But fits it, so why not! :)
The only bad thing about this is that i had a spaceship flying through several scenes for my upcoming intro@revision...but this intro (plus 2 scenes i wanted to use and couldnt fit the spaceship in) made me rethink, so my concept is dead now and i am back to "completely unconnected scenes" ! :/
Anyway: keep stuff like this coming! Never heard of you before, but will keep a keen eye from now!
rulez added on the 2015-03-18 08:49:14 by ɧ4ɾɗվ. ɧ4ɾɗվ.
Btw, i am a really bad musician, but the prob with the music is most probably this:
BaseDrum implies BuildUp for 3/4 of the intro, then Climax, End!
It completely misses the middle part, where the buildup should lead to (sth with a real beat and maybe even a melody) and also misses some teardown after the Climax! ;)
Ofcourse we in the demoskene dont follow any guidelines, but it´s irritating, you know! ;)
Also: Better Instruments! ;) (I know it´s hard to model instruments, but...)
Good one.

Just wow. While it doesn't quite share the elaborate atmosphere some of its spiritual predecessors had, it easily one-ups any of them in the amount of eye candy. That ship scene, still can't believe it exists. Tokyo Demo Fest delivers!

Despite the relative stagnation of the PC scene, the 4k category still keeps evolving. In fact, I think we're firmly at the point where 4ks have matured enough to be comparable to 1998–2001 64ks in terms of both amount and quality of content, and this is a tremendous feat even if we discard the obvious technological advancements that contributed to the possibility. The code is becoming ridiculously tight.
