Colorful pixel effects!

No borders or was it cropped?

What an ugly mess.

Xernobyl, it runs in a 400 x 200 overscan, so a widescreen look on actual hardware :-)
rulez added on the 2013-03-31 09:17:55 by CiH CiH
It did look a little messy, but still the theme was good and the effects worked well with it.

Thumb up then.

out of curiosity: did you get archmage's permission for this?

also, he's not in brainstom.

Nice one Cyg!
Also there is nothing simplistic about coding an overscan hicolour mode on STe.

Colourfull as usual, cool demo although it's not as surprising as street art.

very nice!

Better thantheir demo before. But next time you could need some better style. colorsplitting doesn't make pictures better automatically :D

Recognize one of the clowns from ASD Lifeforce. Still nice artwork though. Go Archmage!

Hmmm... was going to put piggy, but it does deserve a thumb.

Technically extremely impressive and kudos for picking up a rather unusual theme in demos - the circus, which does go very well with the number of colours wielded on screen.
Also, the soundtrack totally rocks!
Too bad i had to watch the video on dhs.tv because the demo doesn't like MegaSTE ;-)

crazy prod

so far most impressive prod in cyg series!

Creepy theme and colors. Not so usual in a demo ! And it technically kicks ass !
rulez added on the 2013-04-01 09:05:29 by zerkman zerkman
I appreciate the consistent theme and - even as an Atari layman - can believe this was a technical feat.. But some of the scenes just looked so messy it ruined the experience for me.
added on the 2013-04-01 09:49:47 by break break
hm.
Street Art is still my favourite but this very colorful and stylish prod still kicks some asses ! Well done guys !

Strange style and way too much circus+colors involved for my taste
Kind da freakish really. Looks a bit like Steven Kings IT. Not my kind of demo, just one real effect to be honest.
added on the 2013-04-01 14:43:20 by BoNuS BoNuS
It's unreal to see it on a real Atari STE !!!
The theme of the demo is allright for me and rare to appreciate it, the sound is great... Perfect Demo !

Just spotted - 3x3 chunks! O.o
great job (as usual) Cyg

Hi, thx for the feedbacks, sorry for the most sensible people and their nightmares.

Of course I asked the permission from Archmage / Andromeda (sorry for the typo in the nfo file, I was more than tired at that moment). Same courtesy for Nytrik and Blochi gfx & photos. Strange idea that I was not or steal any thing. Demoscene is a state of mind.

Also remember that Atari STE is a 8Mhz - 16 colors machine and that I was trying to reach some "mid-school" FX on this oldschool plateform.
Great atmosphere and impecable 400 * 200 hicolors effects.
rulez added on the 2013-04-01 22:57:46 by Templeton Templeton
Really creepy (in a good way) & has impressive visuals and soundtrack. LOVE that music.

its hard to understand what's so technically great in a bunch of fixed texture displacers and palette rotated converted pictures in 2013. come on, we have seen env mapped shit already on 8 bit few mhz computers and more...
sucks added on the 2013-04-02 18:49:08 by Oswald Oswald
What Xeron & Evil said. But really, I stick to my guns.. Try to stick to a single palette per line, and kiss good bye the ugly Spectrum noise/smudge.

thiis is a great demo, technically impressive
rulez added on the 2013-04-02 22:15:49 by gloky gloky
amazing effects, something hard to believe that ST is able to display so many colors.

Awesome job, guys!

Oswald, genuinely curious about the last sentence, you couldn't point us in the direction of some prods?

I like how the theme is quite consistent, and the FXs fits to the 'story' as well.

My thumb up for the overall mood of the demo & for the awesomeness of _coding_ on a 68000 in _2013_ <3

yep, the theme makes this demo!

I like it !

Technically good, quite pleasant to listen and see.

That said, lacks some additional polish. Would have been top demo with better transitions, some text fitting with the theme, etc.

Nice colourful effects, with very good use of blitter and colours / palette shifting.
Like 'anti/aliasing effects too.
Original 4 sure !
Very good work ! =)

Never would have expected to see some of this stuff ever on ST, proving limits have not been reached yet. I hate the circus/clown theme though, but its very well executed nonetheless. Also, nice soundtrack - so it seems samples work along with Cyg's colourmode secret!

in the youtube vid at 2:08 it says 'this is a 1 disk version' watch out for the second! Is that online? did that happen? kool demo, no doubt! /|\

Same, okay code but horrible mess of pixels otherwise.

This is incredibly good, the graphics, the atmosphere, and of course the effect and the code. Great stuff!
rulez added on the 2019-02-20 23:43:42 by spkr spkr
It's nicely made, features some neat code, good music and all but doesn't really work for me, mainly for the same reason Break mentioned back in 2013.
