no thanks
Cool action! Thanks for the greetz. : )
Inviting!
nice Amiga invite for 68k inside
however the music was not really my cup of tea

Original and nice sense of depth in the visuals, and the music certainly knows how to draw attention. Like!
Greetings from AFWD. Very nice visuals and cool to see lot's of sprites ported from the X68000 to Amiga 500. Also the new barrel effect was cool. Music was quite strange but then again it wasn't boring! :D
Looks nice but I don't like the music.
Nice enough. I don't know/remember the original music (some kind of metal?) but this conversion (?) brought Lord Performer Artworx (LPA) to mind. If that is good or not, is everyone's own business.

Lord/Spreadpoint != Lord Performer Artworx.
For a moment I wondered if the replay was bugged or something (& used as a proper nod to a time long gone) :D
super nice!
Cool.
Love the greetz scroll, can't read the thing ;)) Still, it's cool!
Nice!
music is a step up from original!
Absolutely no for the "experimental" music, otherwise an original one.
Greetz scroller is a crazy peek =).

Yes, i meant the music reminded me of LPA's old tunes.
AFWD's "68k Inside 2024 Announcement" invitro for the X68000 caught my eye immediately after its release. That would be a great idea to port it to the Amiga. First I made a call to our (former) coders in the Spreadpoint chat. This would be a good opportunity for someone who wants to get back into Amiga programming. But I couldn't let it go anymore. Actually I had other things to do (Easter 2024 is coming quickly) but I just wanted to find out if the Amiga can draw so many characters at 50fps. I start my first attempts on a quiet Sunday morning. Sprites were out of the question because there are more than 8 characters/sprites on a line. So I started with blitter bobs. It quickly became clear that the initialization of the blitter was not in good proportion to the size of the small characters. So the CPU still remained. And I implemented a little “trick”. The eight lines of a character are each drawn with an or.l instruction. Depending on the position and pixel data on a line, an or.w or no instruction at all is sufficient. I was amazed at how snappy it was. As a test, I simply positioned the characters using values from a sine table. And so, the spiral/barrel effect was created by pure chance, which we later used for the (illegible) greetings (including the TTE).
Here it was still hi-res. In the end I had to switch to low-res because the additional bitplanes for the logo took up too much system time.
The whole code is generated for all possible x positions of a character. See the generatedrawcharcode routine in the source code. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off or invalidate the caches and the demo crashes on CPUs >= 68020. Thanks to MnemoTroN for noticing it (after the release). I should have given it to you to test in advance. :-) And thanks Bifat for your code that handles caches. I will use this in future productions if necessary.
In a next step, I contacted Duet and Codise from AFWD with the request to supply me with hand over the assets/gfx. Bracket from Dekadence came along and we exchanged ideas in a WhatsApp chat. All three are great guys. Bracket had specially recreated the logos for the Amiga so that they still looked nice with 16 colors. He succeeded. Looks great.
Lord ultimately made the music. A heavy remix of Ricky Martin's original version. I really like the 7 minute track. It hammers and rattles. Just beautiful. Tastes are different and you can't please everyone. That's absolutely ok. Let's all remain friends and keep the demoscene as a unique subculture where everyone is welcome and experimental things are allowed.
See you soon!
Finally, this. It would be nice if the demo was ported to additional 68k platforms. The Space Shuttle also runs a 68000. Rumor has it that people at AFWD won the lottery. Do you still have a budget?

Sorry, AFWD is still working on the lottery winnage!
only amiga makes it possible!
Listened to the music a couple of times and tried to grasp it...but I
failed. It simply gets too freestylish noisy for me at a certain point. But
as Depeche wrote, tastes are different. There again, the style is really
unique and you hear immediately Lord's handwriting.
Clean invitaion with nice-looking greetings in a barrel. I wonder how a
non(!)-copper-driven blitting approach would perform in comparison
with this exclusively processor based one? Pre-shifted letters could be
decadently used as well.
Anyway, Schpräddpeunt ruhls :-)

Little correction -> Ooops, I thought I had read copper-driven blits in
Depeche's comment but after re-reading it, I can only find "blitter
bobs".

What most people say.
Pretty, but too much reading!!
My ears :( Thanks for the invite tho, will be on the lookout for mega drive prods :D
punk equivalent
Nice one!
the scrollers
nice logo!
:)
Cool
Nice invitro! And that greets scroller is intriguing!
Very nice! And thanks for the little write-up on the spiral/barrel effect!
