Great effort. Love these visuals.
Was the guru error fixed?

Still investigating, but so far we've only seen it happen on the compo machine, and it's worked reliably on several other machines.

Those kind of bugs can be tricky. Hopefully you will fix it somehow.

Massive (uv maps?) tech on top on a trackloader that does some serious powerlifting, my 1200 drive doesn't like the disk, 500 and 600 is happy with it. Great demo!

I really liked this, though at some parts the colors were way too coderish.

Just wondered a couple of days ago if there would be a another demo
by gigabates for the Amiga / OCS or if he lost interest in that machine.
And bam, I get the answer. He is back with reinforcement (an entire
gang of SilverSurfers). Oh...my...gosh... I have never seen something
like that before. Mindblowing what a ca. 40 year old machine is capable
of if you know to press the right keys. Thank you guys for that great
release - a firework in all departments!

I really don't like the music and some of the colour choices are questionable, the effects and flow are pretty nice though.

The compo machine was my best A500 with the best disk drive, which I use for final testing of OCS trackmos. Tried on another Rev.5 A500 and the crash happened there too.
A hell of a demo, so don't worry about it. I've seen Guardian Dragon and others crash on the bigscreen too.

I have to say that, in general, I prefer the clean and smooth 1x1 effects style that the A500 hardware was designed for, rather than the low-resolution chunky fxs, but this demo has very beautiful parts in spite of that. Congratulations guys!

Well thought exquisite scenes, might cheer up even the most cynical minds a bit. Works on A600. Downer: the doughnut isn't round!

Wow! Massive effects and some really cool ideas when it comes to the concept/design/gfx. Overall one of the best A500 demos of recent years in my book even though there are some questionable color choices here and there :)
rulez added on the 2024-10-07 08:25:10 by malmix malmix
Oh wow! I really dig old(ish) school demos that manage consistency in the visuals and here it was so, even if a bit at the cost of using same core effect many times. I also liked the slightly abstract story telling here; could have been done even without the text but the text was not the worst kind of scene poetry so even that was ok.

No problems running it on my A1200.

rulez added on the 2024-10-07 15:12:19 by Virgill Virgill
Table effects galore. On the positive side, some of it looks very nice and fluid for A500. On the negative side, the fact that you have 4096 colors doesn't mean you have to use all of them at the same time :-) And the music and gfx don't always cooperate, e.g. it happily plays its merry tune while there is a black screen and then a slow pan. Overall a good showing.

koney is right! great demo, cool theme, done well! watched it many times already.
beautiful animations there. cool greetings part and absolutely loving the uplifting soundtrack! - the chords and that voice-melody on the hook .. <3
only nay for me were the coder colors(tm) and the big logo. (looks ai (don't know if it is) and feels to me that it would need some more pixelling time/color ajudstment tbh. ) excellent demo anyway, thank you!

Amazing to see this on an A500 OCS with 1MB. Looks like AGA stuff streamed vom harddisk. Lots of WTF/minute included. I have some ideas how it is done technically, and I'd really like to know more about the "How?".

Pellicus and gigabates, some of my favorite coders uniting for an envelope-pushing prod! I am a coder, so I loved it that steffest absolutely made sure we know every scan was as 4096 color as it can be, and Mace's music reminded me so much of parts of Speed by Sim Productions

Now for a technical question:
Did anyone succeed in runnning this on a real Amiga 500 with a floppy drive?

The only way I could get it to work is to use a brand new Gotek with an AT32F435 and run the ADF from it.

No matter what I did, I could not get it to run on (brand new) Nashua DD floppies or an older Gotek. Tested on an Amiga 500 and an Amiga 1200. Both worked once I figured out that the ADF here needed a new-ish Gotek (at least for me). Older Gotek's would crash on random parts and floppies would not pass the bootsector no matter what I did (red or cyan screen).

Seems like the trackloader is really picky. I tried both X-Copy and Retrogiovedi's WAFFLE to image the disk. Even with the most conservative settings, multiple erases, precompensation, the adf here would not run even for a second from a real floppy.

Yes, absolutely. With optimum equipment (A500, disks and mechanical disk drive in good/very good conditions) it bugs out here in not more than about 1 in 20 attempts.
added on the 2024-10-08 16:19:46 by bifat bifat
Now works on A500 with a floppy, I have no real explanation why. There'a a daemon in the trackloading code here, anyway, as I said, love how much this prod pushes the OCS platform
added on the 2024-10-08 16:22:12 by zajc zajc
My first try with Sony's floppy disk failed (gave just red screen), second with TDK worked. Both are HD. Copied with TransADF.
Very classy, I enjoyed this one a lot.

Really enjoyed this one. It has some of the best movetables on Amiga 500 config. I esp. liked the horizontal scrolling one with the guy walking in front.

(demo works everytime on my 1 MB Chip Amiga 600 with real diskdrive, three different kickstarts on 68000 and 68020. Maybe a 512/512-related problem then?)

We're working on it! ;) I'm helping out the chaps to determine what's going on as I seem to have the perfect setup to kill the trackloader before the demo even starts!. This, hamazing final and even lossos new demo are all affected.

Anyway, fantastic demo. Lovely graphics, coherant, solid uplifting soundtrack, awesome effects. Well done chaps, you've landed a banger.
