Well, the textures and polycount scream 1999, but the direction is there! And the music is awesome. <3

Modelling/texturing seems quite out-of-date, but it was probably the demo with the nicest ideas and edits in the entire compo. The music is great too - should have placed WAY higher.
Visually not too good but the direction is spot on so I'll just thumb that up.
a couple of good effects in there but please get a 3d modeller if you want to do these kind of norwegian demos gargaj
what gloom said. also, missed some interesting details because I was craning my neck around peoples' heads, which is not his fault. soaprobot is a cutie.
What a deception but i found it horrible, sorry :(
Loved the mercury cubes, that one looked cool, and the trademark tight sync is there. But as ps wrote, this kind of content would need to have more quality to be appreciated.
Impressive amount of work for a one man prod.
The look is often dull or inconsistent (hard edges, noise textures...), but the direction is solid and shows a lot of care.

what noby said
great music. Those metaballcubes <3.
+ what the others said about some aspects of the rendering.
Ahh and I like the nicely synced use of the blur in the robotarm scene!

Honestly, I liked it better than the Panda Cube demo. Good direction and sync.
Awesome production! Ümlaüt Design has always been an inspiration for me!
The very first production I have seen from you was: Structure 2: Sequence. This production is the one that triggered me, wanting to have good music synchronization in our demo's.
Thanks!

Instathumb for the TB-303 :P the lasercameramonstermachine made me laugh :)
what tomoya said
Very bad rendering, even an AGA demo looks better but the demo flow, synchronisation is very nice.
Great one-man show.
Nah, I usually don't complain that something feels old but this feels old ;D. Not bad but I've seen it before.
Gargaj: Yes next time we have to meet!!
When I saw your name on the big screen I was like: WOW YEAH a Demo from Ümlaüt Design!!

Good sync! :)
gloom +1
gloom, you just opened my eyes, that actually is some of the best in the whole compo, idea and sync wise .. talking about the graphics on the other hand, that kinda gets in the way of all the nice things.
thumb for pulling it off alone and the music!
Sync and flow are quite good indeed, but there are 10 year old 4ks that have better 3d meshes than this. The funny little toaster mech with its puny little line laser is just so nonthreatening looking, I don't know if the comedic effect is intended or not. ;)
i always like good synced stuff :)
totally underrated prod!!
perhaps it looks like a bit like early 2000's pc demoscene (<- /me likes) but the music/sync/camera/whole direction is really neat!
that what happen when the coder is also the musician :D
well done Gargaj! I want MOAR!

I second Rez on the "totally underrated prod!!"-comment!
Bad ass sync, well put together demo. Soundtrack blatantly rocks! Course it does it's frikin g man! Anyone else notice the unstable label logo sprayed on the wall ;)
Definitely underrated. The "factory theme" might be a bit unappealing for some people, but I think the execution was pretty good. A lot more stuff happening in this demo than most of the other prods. Also, the music is spot on.
Where's the dam soundtrack?
good
Very enjoyable!
hm.
I love the metacube-snake and especially that cube with the growing "spikes". But I do not like the modelling that much, especially the robot in the screenshot looks quite, well...
love the music, camera moves and some fx
really nice sync-work.
solid industrial feeling.
too short tho.
missing climax.

Well done!
thumbs up for direction and sync but music wasn't so good.
What rez said ! :)
Oh - I actually never rated this. It's one of only a couple of demo-entries I recall from that compo. I found the direction really cool, and I'm sure music was created to fit the idea and not the other way around. Really makes the prod stand out as a whole. Others already stated the obvious, such as: Massive amount of work, fantastic soundtrack, great direction etc.
Nice prod!
.
fear the lazorboter
that's a very nice one! modelling could use some (loads of) polishing but overall, great sync and flow.
and yeah, normal capture anyone? don't have a windows machine to watch this on so even though live captures are cool i just cant decide if it needs more bass or it's all there, cut off by the camera's mic

This one has that special something. :D
Na de ez k**va jo am.
Gépcica.
I see a tribute to Debris and Portal Process prods here
on the minus side:
- it looks dated (but why?)
on the plus side:
- I love the syncs
- I love when the scene and music go reverse for a while
- the metacubes

I like it, especially the music.
Great tune and nice sync. Late thumb is late.
lol :D
Any cliche a demo needs.
A bit bland. I like the sequel more.
syncs and camerawork 👌
