Sorry, but line demos are one of my pet hates. They always look like some kind of unfinished prototype to me.
Apply some texture maps and I will be impressed.

eryx.. eris?
lines are so electro and electro is so dear to me
It`s cool enough for a Intel compo shit thingie :)
Very cool
This will do.. The best for assembly ofcourse :-)
yeay ;-)
yeay ;-)
the screenshot made me think of anorgatronikum..
the demo itself.. i dont know, despite the movements on the screen the static view makes it a bit boring. but respect for once again trying new things

Actually I really like the static isometric feeling of the scene.. it's so zaxxon like. And it emphasizes what happens towards the end.
Perhaps not the best ASD Demo, but of course very good :)
asd demos always make me wanna sleep.
oink.
oink.
it is rather "interesting" than cool. not the kind of a winner, but a great experience
i bet this makes preacher horny :D
swell demo!
swell demo!
Best greetings part ever :)
Yeah, "Zaxxon 2007" was also the first thing I thought first - before getting sucked in by the thousand little things that happen.
I like it. I must admit that this demo would probably never ever work in a "normal" demo compo, but perhaps we're starting to see the one advantage of that Intel compo here - you don't have to cater to a few hundred drunk entertainment-addicted people's hunger for sensation. And that's good.

I am happy they did NOT! :) I guess it's one of those "hate it or love it" demos, I find it pretty nice, specially the music is very cool.
Great
I liked it all except for the voice.. but that's probably because I'm an english speaker, and there's extra pickyness that comes when it's your native language.

very nice!
Love it. Original and top notch execution with brilliant music.
What SaphirJD said
Good, really good.
same as hollowman :)
Waiting for the video to be online! ('old' laptop...)

EXCELLENT! maybe my favorite ASD demo =) the lines are so living, such a challenge!
and kudos for a new music style :)

wow. i immediately fell in love with this one!

(kinda reminds me of akira somehow, don't know)
Wow,. never did the wireframe looked so clean and with a nostalgic isometric view I haven't seen before this idea so nicely presented on 3d accel!
seems to be unfinished
Wow, that was cool. It reminded me of Zaxxon and Marble Madness games. :)
Really nice idea.
I like it :)
Looks like a 4kb. Only bigger.
Also, reminds me to this one:

I thought it was excellent! Nice music,
PHAT!
Love the rendering and how the music changes with the angle of the camera.
Hope you'll make a game ( for Assembly ? ) with that engine \:D/

Rob, Navis told me 2 days work :)
Dunno if he was serious or not, I think he was though..
Dunno if he was serious or not, I think he was though..
that is about right, including the isometric engine, the events and all modelling. Making the map (the bitmap that controlls which objects will appear where - it is in 'textures' directory ) took a while more as it needed a bit of finetuning...
btw... Navis!!! you cut the right legs to those poor beetles!!!
that engine isn't isometric btw. It's parallel projection, granted, but isometric means more :)
Then again "real" isometric rendering was totally unfeasible anyway in the 8bit era, so no miracle the word got somewhat diluted.

yeah i totally dig that!!!!!
glOrtho engine.. the shadows were alot easier to do than originally thought.. there is also the obvious bug of shadowing of the stars but nevermind eh ?
Not bad... a bit boring, but a nice idea. I didn't like the music, but the spoken greetings was a nice touch :)
half the screen was garbled,
after a drivers update it went away
the framerate is still kinda too low, specially in the end of the demo.. wondering if there is something wrong with my machine.
anyways, nice demo.

i like it, nice one...
there are two .exe can you try the other one and see if that makes a difference? what is your system ?
btw this is the first ASD demo that supports all resolutions that the card can handle and does FSAA - I realise how much better it would be if, for example, iconoclast could do that but it is too late now :-).

I was hoping for a more spectacular ending, but the tu i there!
Navis: Funny that you say that when i get this error message:
"The Requested Fullscreen mode is Not Supported By Your Video Card. Use Windowed Mode instead?"
Nvidia Geforce GO 7600 / 512 MB
Windows Vista

isn't this kindof unfair to the other groups who submitted to the compo but havent released it yet?
(that said i havent seen the demo yet)

both equally skip frames.. p4 3ghz ati radeon x800pro
Yeh Zaxxon, it's also makes me thought to Highway Encounter 
The compo is not open yet. I don't see how a day early can affect things - apparently the voting will be open for 30 days.
My problem is that I don't *know* where to send the files anyway tonight: the site has no information or link and I never personally received any info which is frustrating...

Did Intel Competion drop the 30sec limit?
Nice to see that ASD, continues to impress me for all these time..... great coding!

navis: dont worry, limp ninja will crack it and fairlight redistribute it for you ;) 0day for life!
Navis: All the emails that the orgos of the compos sent were sent to sotiris.varotsis@youknowwhatgoeshere
in the same way, I was the rrpp (if you wanna call it like that) of xplsv, nobody else in xplsv received the intruction emails...
so, stop being frustrating, if you wanted to receive the email, next time let aMUsic know :P
Go to ircnet.. pouet.net or something, and I'll give you the email where you have to send the stuff.

Oh the hell, this is very lovely despite of few uglienesses like overlapping objects. Hugis and kisses for ASD <3
mega
cock. Amusic is out of commision for the weekend. Trace: I can't connect, if you don't mind sending me some info at [email protected].
Ooooh... I love it...
Wow, great! Great that you took the chance to do something new.
And congratz for losing the metal-guitars.
Navis, maybe contact the other competitors for the info you need ?
btw, after running this demo, I got an error which I send to ati :)
my monitor got back to a lower resolution
and stayed there.
After a reboot still this lower res. so I had to put it back manually to 1680x1050
Strange uh?

something different, but cool!
Quiet nice actually, I would liked it longer and with more variation (like with the camera switch)/ Still a big thumb!
Fresh.
just ok, really lacks something...
it was great too watch something like this but i must say the very end of the demo was so strange and uncommon.
I like it a lot! Good music and overall entertainment value. And big kudos for doing something original.
And ok, there is the Zaxxon reference, but at least that Zaxxon is a good game compared to all the lousy FPS-games that the scene otherwise tries to imitate.

nice :)
kudos also for NO intel whoring ;p
bigcheese. the lyrics were voiced by a native english (oh well american) speaker (that would be DJ Jules of Split Infinity Radio). Of course the context of the lyrics is irrelevant as kb has already noticed =P
In the lyrics there are 21 group greets. Can you spot them all? I'll give you the first one since it's a greek one.. "Psyche" (Ψυχές)..

by the way, what's specific about either executables? both seem to work equally well here.
Not sure on this one, but I think one has FSAA turned on and the other not..
but intersecting meshes SUCK
Rocks !!!
I really love this (music really fits the theme)
One of my favorite line demos so far....
(and its nice to see one Asd demo with no stupid blur/glow filters on it)

Excellent. There are so many neat ideas. The idea for greetings is really nice. I like the part when a girl is saying "... and this is what I've become". The blobby shape similar to football stadium reminds me of the last scenes from "Akira". This Intel competition is afterall a nice alternative to other compos. You can vote when you're thinking with 6% of your brain and not 0.06% :D. I'm waiting for the rest of demos
Weird indeed, but very captivating
Just to clarify a few things (and maybe spoil it a bit)...
Within the walls of Eryx is one of my favourite Lovecraft stories, in which a spaceman is trapped inside a labyrinth with invisible walls. The whole story takes place in Venus and there are plenty of references to alien civilizations and other weird things.
When I read the story it reminded me of one of my favourite games on C64 called 'Scarabaeus' made by a company called Andromeda (coincidence?), in which the character is trapped inside a pyramid in space. I made the connection between the two (the story and that claustrophobic game, especially the artwork on its cover) and thought 'one day these two must be made into a demo'.
I think that this demo captures the feeling of hopelessness and futility that I got from reading the story and playing the game. It follows a journey into what seems to be three different linked worlds: antiquity, the stone-cold old-mainframe platform, and finally the boss level, with all organic elements swirling and moving around. I always wondered as a child what is there after the end boss screens? Well I give my answer now: after the boss screen there is a singularity. The lines are the breaking of time and space and so the demo unfolds and ends. No salvation, no hope, no lament.

navis: i like the pretty lines in it.
Scarabaeus on acid :) man i forgot all about that gem, time to dig up my c64 emu =)
cool
This gave me nice nostalgic memories of the old film "Tron", it just needed light cycles.
Seriously though it was different and very nicely done :-)

I watched a demo and well... I think it's a great concept, but fails to be as long as it would need to be. It kinda feels like a teaser trailer to a real demo... The greetings idea was spectacular, while, alas, the rest of the music was not...

what's the difference between "modern hardware" and "older machines" release ??
i believe the first one has shadows and the other not but its not that....

me likey!
I love it! :D
unique! rocks a lot - her voice reminds me on a mixture of the half life vs. ursula rucker voice :-)
great piece and very artistic

I love the music a lot; the way to greet is very nice, and shadowmapping on wireframe is so cool. For me it created an atmosphere, it could last 30 minutes and I would watch it all without blinking.
Original!
Iq: 30 minutes would rock.. we want more! :) And extended version would rock indeed..
simply magnificent
cheeky soundtrack!

Here are the lyrics for the parts that are not really clear. Don't try to find any poetic value in there =P (or well if you're all about it.. be my guest)
I reach out my arms for the pole bolstered to my cerebrum, supporting my psyche in accord to the oblivious effects of color intoxication.
A look in the construct I call my being reveals what once used to be self sufficient, now corrupt from an explosive reaction and an extravagant tendency to entropy.
At times I crave to breach my cocoon and ascend like a wish to the constellation of Andromeda to watch over the world through eyes of plastic comprehending the cosmos in values of red, green, blue and transparent.
Right here on the threshold of God, I still await for the judgment of light that is fair and translucent, free from the torturing thoughts of conspiracy theories but all I come up with are mountains of synaesthetic metaphors.
I drift on the stardust like an automobile that has lost grip and traction on slippery tarmac and wonder, who will be enduring the burden of mopping the dust in the belt of orion this week..
I've been feeling like a wizard that's gone mad and narcoleptic on an escape route paved with leaves of a black lotus and sketches of melons for I never thought I'd exceed Ulysses expectations and reach the island of the cyclops, now unleashing new media propaganda.
Right here I stand on top of the walls of Eryx imbued by the cursed blessing of alien prophets to spend an eternity watching my life force being consumed by wireframe aparitions.
I was set upon this world to try and outtrack you but this is what I've become.

updated r9700m drivers, now working \o/
Really enjoyed this one.
amusic:
ah, yeah. I meant that the use of a voiceover made me a bit uncomfortable. This kind of voiceover generally sounds cool to me in a foreign language, but if it's in my own, I like it to be more heavily processed/distorted so I don't get distracted by it :)

Nice voice. Elektronik music and 3D graphics, "zaxxon" alike.
Great stuff!
amusic: are those kinda greetings?-D
Marvellous, and the music is so hypnotizing, it rocks. Not to mention the greetings...
Cool music, professional flow, but average feeling :(
superb
love it.
btw.. music=Anne Clark rip off! :)
very good, excellent flow.
neither exe worked for me though (resized the screen and never did anything), but its probably just that i need to update my drivers..

woow. it really captures that "the game I never finished when I was little" mood. great style!
If there were more intel democompos... I'd eventually even like ASD's demos :)

++ combines a concept with nice, unusual visuals.
- In some parts it looks a little bit rough.
- The very cool tune (esp. the voice over) does not really match the content.
"color intoxication" :)
I am little be confused by its early release (why not mail tobi a URL?).

Super wireframe demo! Ja, ist wahr!
I liked this one.. kinda reminded me of Rare's old beat 'em up "Battletoads & Double Dragon".

wow. just wow. it's been a long time since i had this feeling for a demo.
after paying much attention to the hypnotizing lyrics and noticing lines like "red, green, blue and transparent", "a light that is fair" and so on, it just made me shout "oh fuck" feverishly.
visuals are great too, i like atmospheric wireframe eyecandy, and this "isometric"-like projection just gave the whole thing some more spice.
more of this please.

typical for ASD the design is very fluent. the iso look is a cool idea and music is good. well done!
Original design. Demos with new and different ideas are far too rare. Thumbs up for this one, great soundtrack too!
damn, i only spot 20 greets.. wheres that last one O_o
ah fuck, just decoded the 21st by reading pixtur's comment :D
Have no idea why it really needs pixel shaders 2.0... :( ?
Thumb up for the cutoff filter on the music while camera changes it's angle.

Something about it is irritating me...
That was pretty mad stuff, i like it although far from my fave ASD prod. But where is the Shark?
seconding weyland yutani
Nice zik and quite cool buildup of the world.
just to clarify that this demo doesn't use any shaders or really needs ps2.0. However, it was based on my usual ps2.0 platform. So, you ask, why didn't you take the cg and ps2.0 dependencies out of there, like you did with lithography (our first demo for intel compo 2006, which could run even on TNT2).
Well the answer is that it took me quite a while back then to write a non-ps2 version on top of the ps2 one, and all for what? So that people would vote for it based on a very compressed mpeg. So all my troubles were for nothing, as the recorded demo could have originally ran on a supercomputer for all we care.
Well, this is a little protest. Demos should not be treated as mpeg animations on a 320x240 window... And yeah yeah I know EP and divx etc. etc... :-))

Seem to be unfinished for me... Imho this one is missing the usual ASD "touch".
Oink.
Oink.
liked it. boxes and simplicity on a high level. rounded up with a nice track.
Great demo. music is a bit repetative and voice is annoying, but visuals are very kewl.
btw, yeah I watched only video:)

What? People not exceeding deadlines and actually done early? Think of the children!
on the demo: I loved the Zaxxon vibe, but there's such a bunch of z-fighting going on that it kills the mood. Pigsky for now.
IMPRESSIVE AS USUAL
ONE OF MY FAVS :p
the only bad point would be the boring music. but all the rest is PERFECT.

Not something to get easily into, but it's interesting enough to float my boat.
Still not totally sure... but I liked it more the second time than the first. So thumb.
cool
Very enjoyable and full of detail. I always enjoy the concepts and design on ASD demos. Fitting soundtrack as well.
errrm...well...watched it yesterday along with a beer and it has something, something...but somehow it's not the thing.
I do like Preacher's lines more :)

oops, sorry, there seems to be one :)
And if you were a bit more clever you will find out that there is a website for this competition with a video version for all of them...
Yups.
WOW! wtf....omg! double thump-up!!!!!
after watching them all, i love it now. :D
the music ++
the music ++
Rules in it's own way; mainly because of the mood, and because it doesn't look like a FPS game.
Very different. The greetings-lyrics are cool aswell (I totally missed that until I saw them in text here though).
This doesn't really do it for me - I get the idea, and it really is different. However it looks too empty to me... dunno... just didn't do it for me.. sorry :)
Wireframeish. Nice product, as they are all for the intel demo compo.
sorry, not this time. so boring, i hope there was some blast at the end 'cause i finished watching after 30-40secs. worst thing in the compo for me.
nice idea - but too boring for a thumb up
Original style, nice touch. This goes straight into my collection of very special demos which I like a lot.
design O_o--b
original and stylish.
Nice, although I didn't really like this style.
isometry ftw! and cool greets in the soundtrack.
kb took the words right out of my brain.
Nice tron-like graphics
great.
refreshing ASD-stuff
Very nice!
Apparently I'm not the only one who thought of Zaxxon (no surprise there). Cool demo and nice greetings :)
superb idea! i like this way of "storytelling" and the puristic visualization of it pretty much. the only weak point is the music. i mean, it's not bad but it sound's antiquated somehow.
Fuck, where do you get ideas like this????
your head is about to blow.
unexpected!
Very nice one, feels like something from ye good ol' times and captures the mood of Lovecraft's "In the walls of Eryx" quite nicely. More of this please!
yeah I really enjoyed it (though I found the music quite dull)
Pure idea
The best ASD release so far. I liked the fact that the demo never strayed from the fixed "2D" camera movement. Nice and fitting music too, would've been even better without the speech though. :)
boring, but i like this.
+idea + music + animation.
+idea + music + animation.
Superb! Loved the music and the visuals :-)
x2
Now this is really cool. I like it alot better than most of the previous ASD stuff.
I know the guys put a lot of work into this but it doesn't thrill me as much as their previous works... Piggy for the moment.
too weird for me right now. hurt my eyes. more worse than ok. some interesting rotations in there but a bit too boring. some adjustments on this and i would have thumbet it up.
Different demomaking and original thoughts always rulez. Design and credits in this one rocks as hell
I liked it - a bit too simplistic maybe, but always nice with a different style... (and no guitar in the soundtrack \o/ )
Fantastic demo, very interesting concept and awesome music. =)
Very nice! I also appreciate the Commodore PET :)
=)
![[ProToS]](http://content.pouet.net/avatars/bzzz.gif)
Beautyful.
awesome :)
When I watched this demo I was sitting in front of my laptop with my mouth open for 3 minutes and 8 seconds.
By now I watched it about 10 times or even more. Its so creative, the music is just... wow (Lyrics please! ^^) and the nostalgic part does the rest.
I especially like the part when the music turns airless and the cam changes direction.
More demos like this one please!!!

Well.. I've watched a few more times. And I think it's almost great, but not quite. The ideas, style, and the tune are all top notch, but I think the execution lets it down slightly. E.g. the columns at the start are a little glitchy, and sometimes objects move through each other.
cool idea, but it's too boring for a thumb up...
music is too slow and i don't like vox.

Thumb up for new ideas!
gets better in the end. the change of viewpoint was nice.
I love it! Nice work on the greetings aswell.
wau, very good new idea..
awesome *feels nostalgic*
this is really something fresh!!
BB Code is allowed here!
This is a good one. Nice idea and good execution. The demo makes the watcher follow closely all the way to the end.
p'ftaghn!
fucking hell, brilliant atmosphere!
The idea is excellent... alone for this it deserved a thump up!
ASD, you guys just keep amazing me! Yet another high-standard demo with a new twist and a different angle. I love the idea, the execution, the combination of visuals and soundtrack, and simply pretty much everything in this one.
Wow, that was awesome!
original, fresh, and a little thought provoking. we need more thought in this world wide interworld
technically its good, no doubt. but i dont like it.
What a sad story.
I like the graphical style, but the lyrics just ruin it for me, so a swine it is ...
brilliant!!
nice

Fresh one, i love it... tho it doesnt run very smoothly on my machine (p4 2ghz x800gto)... even plastic demos do, so i have no idea why :/
Anyway, thumb... (color intoxication... bahaha!^^)

dam... too dumb to pick the thumb xD
great idea
won....der.....ful! Navis, you rule. And yes, Amv and Amusic, you tooooo! (*hugs them all*)
Extreme!! Digg it!
OK? χάρηκες τώρα;
I told you I would make you to like it :-))
kewl demo 
Wow. I dunno what I just watched and heard, but it was freakin cool.
Nice work, but.. singularity at the end?
You must be aware that this is not emotional or strange at all. And you are trying to define undefined.. any reason for that ?
Why not at the end just show this little yellow dwarf with 4 hands that is rotating those spinning wheels ? Come'on guys - don't you have any sense of humor ? : P
I have a challange to all those leading demo groups (especially FB,ASD,Plastic): if your next demo will end up with something silly and simple as that... you will have to watch my new demo/intro and your brains will explode / turn into noise (or singularity or whatever) afterwards instead ;) !

It's definitely hypnotic.
This tendency to make cool and original demos is really frightening. Good work pals!!
everything is so solid in this.
This really reminds me of my old Vectrex... fab! Great idea, Navis!

fuckin' incredible ( gamoapisteuto )
very innovative and beautifully executed. the soundtrack is excelent and creates an overall unique and ambient atmosphere. ASD quality as expected.
loving it
Simply amazing. one of my favorite things is the tributes, how you made that long speech and in it are the names of the groups.
nice one.
nice one.
Nice style! You can customize map, textures/map2.bmp and edit!
rulez hard! fantastic style - great soundtrack - that's a demo!
Very cool
the music is fantastic
the music is fantastic
Uh, what did I just see? My mind is blown.
Don't know what to say.. Lots of lines there..
Rulez! I read "In the walls of Eryx" after watching this great demo =)
wow, great to see such ideas and I really love the music
very, very nice.
Should have won!
Clever and original. Different from "ASD-killer-demos" stil very enterteaining. Keep it up ASD !
great creative shit, shows that asd is capable of variety. very smooth and organic despite restricting to pure wireframe, which actually provides a nice kick. as a "normal" texturized demo this would have been mighty bland and boring looking. some people seem to be hugely retarded in having severe fobias related to "old" looking stuff. get over it.
Quote:
bigcheese. the lyrics were voiced by a native english (oh well american) speaker (that would be DJ Jules of Split Infinity Radio). Of course the context of the lyrics is irrelevant as kb has already noticed =P
In the lyrics there are 21 group greets. Can you spot them all? I'll give you the first one since it's a greek one.. "Psyche" (Ψυχές)..
Psyxes, Farbrausch, XPLSV, Stravaganza, Cocoon, Andromeda, Plastic, rgba, dEUS (bonus group), Still, Fairlight, Conspiracy, Synesthetics, Traction, Moppi, Orion, MadWizards, The Black Lotus, Melon Dezign, Exceed, Alien Prophets, Outtracks.
...Is the implication to "Lifeforce" intensional btw? :)
nothing is unintensional ;-)
hehee, goodie :D
Anyway, very nice demo right down to the soundtrack and the flock of ideas harvested in this one - tho I am also getting quite tired of seeing wireframes.
Also I'd like to see stuff like this developed with more time and effort instead of those Asm-vote-gatherers :)

Sorry, axonometric perspektive gives me head ache. Hands+arms are ugly - appears to be twisted in an unnatural way. I don't really get this demo.
a killer shortie.
A piece of shit!
This is a great, semi-alternative, production, and it has a great sense of art to it, in my opinion. I don't know where the lyrics come from, but they are fascinating. The style makes me think of a 2nd generation cracktro scroller, but it show very much potential and I would like to see it employed in more demos.
That's the way to do it, ASD! :)

chemist: I wrote the lyrics on top of my mind. Basically it's utter gibberish made for the sole purpose of surrounding the names of the groups that we greet in there. Although reading those again I get some sentiments of a "mental suicide", they're just random words.
where's my thumb?! hidden greetings, woah.
Nice way to do greets:
I reach out my arms for the pole bolstered to my cerebrum, supporting my psyche in accord to the oblivious effects of color intoxication.
A look in the construct I call my being reveals what once used to be self sufficient, now corrupt from an explosive reaction and an extravagant tendency to entropy.
At times I crave to breach my cocoon and ascend like a wish to the constellation of Andromeda to watch over the world through eyes of plastic comprehending the cosmos in values of red, green, blue and transparent.
Right here on the threshold of God, I still await for the judgment of light that is fair and translucent, free from the torturing thoughts of conspiracy theories but all I come up with are mountains of synaesthetic metaphors.
I drift on the stardust like an automobile that has lost grip and traction on slippery tarmac and wonder, who will be enduring the burden of mopping the dust in the belt of orion this week..
I've been feeling like a wizard that's gone mad and narcoleptic on an escape route paved with leaves of a black lotus and sketches of melons for I never thought I'd exceed Ulysses expectations and reach the island of the cyclops, now unleashing new media propaganda.
Right here I stand on top of the walls of Eryx imbued by the cursed blessing of alien prophets to spend an eternity watching my life force being consumed by wireframe aparitions.
I was set upon this world to try and outtrack you but this is what I've become.
Did I miss any?

That's 22 - I'm not sure about color, but I can't figure out where Farbrausch or XPLSV would fit.

fr = color intoxication
xplv = explosive reaction
xplv = explosive reaction
literal translation of farbrausch to english is "color intoxication" (or colour intoxication if you're a brit). and xplsv is pronounced "explosive".
Yay. Now I have 23 some how. Back to my corner..
cool idea ! Looks a little unfinished but ASD/Navis are sooo prolific these days... Who can complain ?
As Poï said, cool 3D music effect :D
As Poï said, cool 3D music effect :D
Yeah. Solid design & syncwork.
i really liked this. for me it is far more better than lifeforce and some other asd' winning demos.
Annoying speech, but clever nevertheless :-P
give me Your wireframed hand :P
Interesting future world. When the girl starts speaking I immediately felt in love.
after having watched it several timeZ in different m00dZ i have to say.:
+ very nice concept.!
+ the music fitZ it perfeCt in my earZ.! (PLUS the greetZ :) )
+ Hidden-Line-Vectorz instead of Wireframe (or just a black teXture.?!!)
+ many objeCtz with different behaviourZ.!
(there´s more work in that shorty than many would expeCt ;) )
+ a lot of thingZ to disCover while (((re-)re-)re-)rewatching.!
Xtra+ read Navis Comment on the concept somewhere up there ^^
- some bits too short...in length of tha deMo that is.!
- cocoon is greeteD,but it´s NOT ME who is meant.! NAAAHHH,jokin´;) forget about THAT minus :))
a deMo i kan show every1 never-got-in-touch-with-the-demoscene-ever-before.!
(they just have to have played some isometric stuff on c64 f.e. once...lol)

I hate ASD when they do their asm crowdpleasers and i love them when they do cool shit like this. The only minor gripe i have is with the music. Not electro enough to my taste ;-)
I usually love ASD no matter what, but this was a welcome break from progrock ;)
Great idea, very well done, ASD's outstanding work as usual. :)
Thank you, guys : because of you, I re-read Lovecraft's "Walls of Eryx", and with Amusic's scores as a background, it was simply _immersive_. I then proceeded, and read "The Mountains of Madness" with the tracks taken from Lifeforce, Planet Risk, Animal Attraction, Evolution of Vision, Eon, and such. It was one of my most powerful reading experiences, because the music echoed the stories with the exact classical / outlandish ratio required to fit a Lovecraft novel. I strongly recommand you try it at home too. :)

my all time favorite by now!
well done...i didn't realize this was a lovecraft story. I will have to go read.
![[HamsTeR]](http://content.pouet.net/avatars/cyber.cow_mini_16x16.gif)
Very awesome!
i really fucking like this demo. a little more 'out there' than most ASD demos... it's polished, powerful, it sounds great, it looks smooth. Keeps you watching to the end. Freaking great work.
Great.
Concept would be neat if it wasn't already played out, execution brought nothing new and was a little boring.
Tron 2.0 did this whole thing way better in 2004.

i began to love asd.
you are geniuses, guys
but VOCALS :((( why....

Plenty of room on the soundtrack though =P

i wanna a children from you guys
and what uncle-x said. you have got assembly yet, so now you can do more stuff like this. Please.
hmmm.... interesting :)
exceptional in EVERY way!!1one of my all-time favies, too! Lovecraft/Sterling would be honored, no doubt! (and AmE accent is fine, why not!?)
Nice music but looks like some random wierd arcade game :P
Nice concept
Eighties flavour (gfx reminds me Zaxxon, and the music sounds like Anne Clarck), cool atmosphere, original concept, and perfect execution. So...
whooooa, grids ftw
Love the feel of this, and the spoken word-soundtrack. Intersecting meshes bugged me a bit, but it was still awesome.
Nice style! Great stuff!
their creativity never ceases.
Whoa. How weird. <3
I like the concept.
clap clap clap
I don't like the "storyteller" at all, that's the only thing that turns thumb up to a piggy
beyond the gates of madness are my cock. rulez!
great
I 've never really liked this one
good
Brilliant work ASD, the cryptic lyrics totally mystified me and I had an inkling that it might be greets - what an awesome way to do greets!!
Really nice ancient+cyber feeling overall. It made me read the lovecraft too, wicked inspiration. fully rulez!

Ok there's another bonus greet in there now that I look back at it to Ascension =)
very nice
oops, forgot the thumb
grew on me
Loved it!
I like it's retro appearance.
The Capped.tv video is shown in widescreen, is this wrongly presented.

very nice visuals but well, the music could be better
[link]http://www.behance.net/Gallery/MTV-EMA-09-opener1/342929[/link] the music, the synch, concept, effects,...
Yeah.. getting strong Eryx vibes from that EMA opener (minus the colors)... oh and Eryx is 2 years older than the EMA thing.. =)
mmmh... what?¿ . o.O!!!
unveliable!
unveliable!
A fine demo.
So weird and, well, so nice. Reminds me of an old game, won't tell you which. :p
one of my fav asd demo
Very-very cool and original.
Terrible.
!
rulez.
well done original concept.
!!!
the concept is great. but what the demo has to offer is not my taste.
Nice.
naja. nee. too strange. no color and too little material to enjoy. sorry but i have to express a negative impression. :)
ha ha ha vibrator got scared :p
oh well deserves a thumb
Sure it does.
Way cool! The visuals and a vocal-less version of the track would probably make for an excellent Halcyon-like 64k. :)
Yep!
incredible, very clean edges and more abstract. Music beat syncs with floor waves.
I can't believe I haven't given my thumb up on this yet.
LOVE
LOVE
I've always wondered how demo with orthogonal graphics could look like :)
cool.
Best greets ever.
Best greets ever indeed.
Most inspirational demo ever.
Most inspirational demo ever.
Somewhat managed to never see that one, very nice :)
fra: nice job with your version as well.

Awesome concept. I don't really like the vocals, but the visuals are extremely creative.
This is cool. I love the greetings :p
Even though it isn't really among my favorite ASD demos, I can't understand why I thumbed this down years ago... I love the isometry.
It's static in nature and the prose creates a disconnect. I usually like ASD demos a lot, but not this one. Sorry.
This is my favourite ASD demo.
concept is still fresh. respect for showing restraint.
Forgot to thumb this one up it seems - one of my favorite ASD prods I often watch. The atmosphere is just great.
Btw: that tune is one step away from being a great remix of the Knight Rider theme song.
Unique concept
Isometric demo, unique concept, fascinating.
:(
Love the design :) !
one of my old time ASD favourites.
what buckethead said
@aMUSIC So there exist no H.P. Lovecraft Audiobook with that voice?
still my favorite demo of all times.
