Night Ride
An 8kB PC intro
Released at Deadline 2024
Made by:
- Jochen Feldk├╢tter, aka Virgill
- Julien Guertault, aka Zavie
- Laurent Le Brun, aka LLB
- Jan Scheurer, aka LJ
Using:
- Crinkler https://github.com/runestubbe/Crinkler
- Leviathan https://github.com/armak/Leviathan-2.0
- Shader Minifier https://github.com/laurentlb/shader-minifier
- Sointu https://github.com/vsariola/sointu
This audio-visual presentation is meant to be run on a PC powered
by Microsoft Windows Vista or newer, with an NVIDIA GPU equivalent
to RTX3080 or higher.
In the balance between binary size and performance, the latter was
essentially sacrificed, hance the hardware requirements. We might
release a later version with a different tradeoff so the intro can
be enjoyed smoothly on mid-range hardware.
Inspiration was directly drawn from:
- Drive (2011, director of photography: Newton Thomas Sigel)
- Heat (1995, director of photography: Dante Spinott)
- Tron Legacy (2010, director of photography: Claudio Miranda)
- Nightcrawler (2014, director of photography: Robert Elswit)
- Eternal Apex (https://acatalept.com, Acatalep)
Special thanks to:
- rubix, for the series of improvements to Shader Minifier.
- I├▒igo Quilez, for the invaluable trove of ressources.
- Fabrice Neyret, for the code reviews over the years.
- Gopher, for always being cheerful.
We send our greetings to Approximate, Cocoon, Gaspode, loopit,
Mercury, 0b5vr, Poobrain, Razor 1911, Setsuko, Still,
The Black Lotus, Titan, TokyoDemoFest, Turbo Knight and TRBL.
