• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Andy and Blondie by Finity Games
• Nothing out of the box. Weird, quirky, glitchy. One of a kind.

• The download link has been updated with a bugfixed final version. Please download the new zip archive with the ADF and a freshly cranked executable and the (fixed) Pretracker tunes included.
  
  Among bugfixes for the replayer that had problems with the playback of two tunes and fixes for randomly garbled graphics, the intro has been finished in the way it was intended before the deadline hit us (various graphics and now with subpixel accurate transparent signed saturated bubbles of different sizes -- an effect that bifat called "so understated that it hurts" ;-D ).
  
  Have a nice day and enjoy the great tunes.

• I don't think that I can speak here freely. So I'll just leave it at a thumb up.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS HAM Eager by Platon
• I was bored and wrote a technical write-up for the demo. With all the technical secrets and Dutch colours.

• Just saw the demo the first time and am completely humbled about the great effects on a 8 bit machine. Shock and awe.

  How about that subpixel precision blitter line algorithm by Kalms? Isn't that completely new either?

  
  
  Scali had done this in 2011 already, see https://scalibq.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/just-keeping-it-real-part-5/
  
  It also was discussed on EAB: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=62607
  
  (CPU driven subpixel line drawing was probably around two decades earlier.)
  
  Nonetheless, I am very grateful for Kalms making his code available.
  
  However, in EON the subpixel blitter line drawing is not used in many places, because the animplayer uses the CPU to draw the lines (without subpixel resolution AFAIK).

• The soundtrack is great, the technical nitbits getting around the memory limitations of the machine and the tooling are interesting (but e.g. sample swapping was done in 1992 (JoEs) and sample mixing for drum loops is, well, no magic).
  
  However, this does not save it from having weak transitions (with visual bugs), ugly 8+7 colour graphics (is there any pixel art or are these just downcoloured 3D renders?) and well, yes, most of it is pre-calculated animation. The scenes also feel pretty much random. For 2019, I just can't see the innovation.

• Nice. Well executed... Love the part where you can watch it being drawn more than when it done in the back buffer...

• The music is sooooo good, it's one of the best pieces I've been listening over and over again. Feedback loops and noise rules. A great trip back then and even now. This is what the demoscene is about. Masterpiece of art!
