I'll grab them next year! -- Guybrush Some outstanding productions. A few new faces; would love to see more new comers. Proof that text mode is still very much alive, looking forward to next year. -- Polaris ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Trauma - The Turing Machines Didn't Care Overall style, music and fx... and music. -- Blacklight Powerful soundtrack really moves the demo forward! Starts slow but effects build up in complexity and impressivness, which is always a good tactic ;) lol pig and yay for ribbons :) The blue 3D things would have been nice with smoother shading, but the +- patterns were interresting, would have been good to push it even further. -- BuZ Best music of the compo. The text bubble was pricesless. -- Polaris Great blend of styles using different subsets of the ascii chars. Produced some very cool feeling textures. Nicely organic. -- scoy ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Alpha Design - Cookiedough ASCII/character-based art is nice -- Blacklight fuckin ace! Freshingly oldskool. Clean and simple, pure Alpha Design style. Nice fitting music. Some originality in the well-known effects. Very well polished. -- BuZ Some outstanding artwork. Old School demo effects were done so well, it was easy to forget the production was in text mode! Outstanding! -- Polaris Britelite is too modest, this is a clear winnerdemo from every angle. -- RaD Man Too much scrolling of hand drawn images. Doesn't feel like it's pushing the technology at all. Felt limited since it only used the 'block' characters and not the rest of the ascii set. Cool music. -- scoy Some nice ascii art, awesome. -- Guybrush ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Crimson Shine - Cube Cubes physics in coder-color FTW! Thumb for the color scheme -- Blacklight nice shading. nice effects, but sadly only 2 of them. kinda short and lacking substances. Physics cubes could have been exploited better. -- BuZ The credits scene is outstanding. Neat to see a demo that doesn't actually end. Some very nice effects, could have been a bit longer. -- Polaris A close second to Turing. By far the most colorful entry. Great music. It felt like a nod to classic 8-bit games. -- scoy ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo paulius - nuggan Conceptual but unicolored. -- Blacklight very good and creative use of ASCII shading and colors. It's only too short! and ends a bit abruptly. Fish tail. -- BuZ Amazing production for one person to write. Seemed to end aburptly, and could have used a bit more synch with the music. Middle was outsanding. -- Polaris A bit too short and limited in scope. I like the variations of the textures generated by the character set selection right at the beginning but after that it kind of lost me. -- scoy My favorite renderer - paulius is the ASD/dreamchild of textmode. Gorgeous transitions and ethereal feel. I demand a 15 minute epic next year!!!! -- Guybrush ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Frostar - Frost*r Scroller........ -- Blacklight welcome back in the dmeoscene! This one is maybe a bit too oldskool for its own good? I mean, nowadays it's getting hard to keep interest with only a scroller ;) Maybe switching spectrum, background, spectrum+background from time to time with some sync could have helped. -- BuZ Neat to see a production written in basic. A "one effect" production with scroller. -- Polaris Almost seemed 20 years out of place. Needs something more that just scrolling hellos. The best part is the music, I liked the quirky vibe. -- scoy Welcome back! This is a good first step up from the Apple ][ : D -- Guybrush ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo BITS - BITS5009 whawazdat? i'm deaf! -- Blacklight Thumb up for the spirit. Nice font. Lacks pacing. Sadly the scroller gets cut so the most important effect is kinda broken. You could/should have done way better with the music, even with pc-speakers only! -- BuZ Ran far better on XP than Vista. I broke down and viewed the program in a text editor to read the scroller :p -- Guybrush ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
