- demo MacOS Flag Day by Nemesis Productions [web]
- Well, this may be technically a very little bit better than Chrystar but it's just a single simple dotflag that waves. Chrystar's certainly got more going for it than this.

- demo Windows Pure 1D demo
- Wonderful idea and good execution except that it maybe goes on for a little bit too long.
This goes for showing how much is achievable even in such a constrained environment. Several different effects are displayed. Beautiful gradients and other kinds of nicely animated patterns.
Obviously it's more than just an idea, it's a very good realization of the idea. Seems like a lot of though went into what exactly is shown. - rulezadded on the 2006-04-16 21:08:42
- demo Windows Funkysexy by Black Maiden [web]
- Incomprehensible colour choices for some parts, totally average demo effects, transitions are made with the "total disconnect" method. At least some sections have pretty good 2D overlay graphics and the music is OK but that's as much good as I can say. This might be partially compensated by a good message but I don't understand german / can't be bothered to find out so I can't say anything about that.

- demo Linux Windows MacOSX PPC My Diamond Mind Broken by Outbreak [web]
- Has some atmosphere and the synced noise effect is fun. On the other hand the dark vertical lines that are overlayed on every single scene are quite annoying and beneath it's about as bland as it gets with typical scene effects and not particularly cutting edge ones or well laid out. Cool that it's on Linux & OS X though.

- demo Windows Expiration by Peon [web]
- Love the music. Colorscheme is a bit poor and it's mainly just a flyby but the "flying"-part is indeed quite nice and it has a solid theme that the whole demo follows thru with. The ball at the end may be technically interesting but "a ball in a box" _really_ is not my idea of a good scene.

- demo Windows This Is by Orion [web]
- The wireframe 3D is ugly and uninteresting and the aren't many effects, mostly some strange 3D. The design doesn't seem to be very consistent (oh, it's black and white and has lots of pointless images but that's about it). Some great 2D graphics though. I don't particularly like the "this is..." theme which also seems to go away from explaining a demo to mindless things like "this is internet" very early on. And I absolutely dislike the soundtrack. :P Did't enjoy it at all.

- demo Windows PocketPC Playstation Portable Retroficial by Titan [web]
- A rehash of mostly old effects with a good little track that unfortunately starts getting on the nerves when nearing the end. The demo's nothing special but kinda cute. I really wouldn't want to watch it more times though.

- demo Windows we owe a cock to aesculapius by Alpha Millenium Crew
- Like the music and the credits part. But the rest of the effects are totally uninteresting, layout is poor (things in the middle, over each other, shoved to the camera) and the annoying jerky movements that I suppose are meant to be some kind of syncs don't seem to follow a certain beat very well.
I've thumbed down much much worse, but this still isn't good unless you're desperate for demos to watch. - sucksadded on the 2006-04-16 16:42:58
- demo Windows green destruction by Digital Devotion
- Excellent. The flickering glow works really well and I'm a big fan of demos that follow thru with a single concept as tightly as this. The typography fits in and isn't in an overused style. Love the sounds.
Ends a bit abruptly maybe, I think I would've preferred a short calm moment before dropping back to the desktop but nothing big. The latter half also only consists of various objects wrapped in the trademark texture and I could've lived without at least the spikeball and see something different at that point to cut off the objectshow.
But that's really just digging for negatives. This one you can't miss. - rulezadded on the 2006-04-16 16:24:42
- demo Windows Dyslexia by Progress [web] & Anakata [web]
- Not the best prod there is but not totally undesigned. Overall feel is consistent over all the scenes, there isn't a single part that doesn't feature a rotating object and I like the way the objects "dance" to the music by that. I also like the flower object, or really the look of the whole scene and the "cow" is interesting :P
Sure, it looks simple for 2002 but then people have been making excellent demos for a long time now with very little processing power looking from this day and age. And yeah, the music is rather repetitive but also different than your average technodemo soundtrack, I don't think it's that bad.
I found this somewhat interesting and guess I'm in a good mood so piggie. - isokadded on the 2006-04-16 03:02:16
