Now that is an ST winner!
Art is gorgeous, gfx bring cool effects to awesome, music is damn groovy, 505 chewing it so that it gives a real pulse to the demo.
Not to mention the code, floocking polished, fast and efficient for each effect.
That's a lot of work, congrats!!
Love the atmosphere too

Impressive in all aspects. Sophisticated code, good pixels and almost constant flow. Tune is masterpiece there. Only minor worry for me (as constructive feedback) was a bit deja vu as few parts were quite reused and presented similarly as in your previous prods. On the other hand some new parts were huge blast: double wormhole is my favorite as well as env/texture mapper (seems to be very fast and accurate for ST). They say hard work beats talent... but hard work meets talent there! Congrats:) One of the best ST demos ever for me!
rulez added on the 2019-07-09 08:22:48 by MKM MKM
That's just massively great, slickness all over on every aspect, result of an intense collaboration.
Thanks for this great show!
The mapped multi-pyramids object is just wow.

Attention to detail is obvious everywhere. Very clever transitions. Perhaps the best ST demo of the last few years. We see the real talent of 505 and m0dmate here compared to the old Checkpoint productions, since we have total integration of their work into the demo and Spkr’s cool effects. I heard all kinds of stories about the production of this demo, the results are clearly worth it.

Quite cool, both in presentation and effects.

Now I need to steal few MBs from my 386, open my Atari STE, remove the annoying metal cover and upgrade memory, I see more Atari demos recently that need more than the default 1MB.

Very motivating. Like gwEm said - one can’t stress enough the great work modmate and 505 added here to make spkrs effects shine and to support a coherent flow. Ace!

(Ofc bonus points for going the 1985 hard route and not giving in to the STe-customchiparoo)

Killing FX, awesome GFX & colors and stylish Musix in a continuous flow with nice transitions, good job my friends !
One of the top ST demo ever (and STe), I didn't notice any difference between the ST version and the youtube capture (except some compression blur).
You are pushing again the level of your Pulse demo.
One critic, you only used the 2 third of the floppy space, we could have expected more then ! ;-)

I've no idea why so many sceners scream "Amiga" when Atari ST has this much to offer. Particularly graphics are absolutely exceptional here, but the flow and sync are just as good. The idea to make a tunnel out of the multilayered checkboard zoomer is probably what surprised me most.

What not to love in that one: Great flow, great color scheme, thoughtful transitions, everything works well together and feels fresh :)

I like the irony though: It's a ST demo, not STe - which is quite a feast -, but since there are pretty much no normal STs with more than 1 meg (that required an humongous amount of soldering) , it will be watched on STe anyway :D

This prod kicks ass in every aspects. It’s a masterpiece, really. It’s so well designed (love the graphic’s style) with a lovely music in perfect sync with all the effects and fast rendering routines. The result is very homogenous and cohesive. More important, it transmits emotion to the crowd. Love all those texts spread here and there. They link the whole thing together.

As a side note, I’ve discovered this demo in 2020 and was blown away. Was it before we started to work on our comeback demo or after, I can't remember. What I remember though, is not sharing with my teammates in crime or else I'm not sure we would have gone to the end of our prod. If I speak about Jess, when he discovered it (2021), he had already made a lot of work ;-).
We then, organized a session with our respective families to showcase this prod, then ours to benchmark what we did.

To SPKR, 505, m0dmate : awesome prod by top of top sceners.

I discovered MOTUS in May 2021, that tells how much disconnected I was from the scene.
At that time, about 90% of the musical material of FirST Love was done.
My first reaction while watching MOTUS was that I was both blown away and instantaneously devastated. Because I didn't know that such level of sound/animation synchronization existed yet in a ST demo and I naively thought FirST Love'd be the first to provide such integration. I was so wrong, LOL.
I really love MOTUS for that. Great great work. It kicked my ears and my **s. From one chiptuner to another: 505, fantastic composition, big thumbs up!!
rulez added on the 2021-08-28 19:50:46 by Jess^OVR Jess^OVR
Jess! Thanks for the kind words and the background information. It's amazing how scene generations inspire each other, as I am a fan of your music since the 90s! I always thought there was a lack of music synchronization in classic ST demos, with a few exceptions. It often felt like wasted potential, so this was one motivation to invest more into this direction. Seems we have a similar understanding of the way a chip tune can interact with the visuals :) Great to have you back!

Well this is a good production for ST. Is it the best I've seen? Maybe it is :) Good pacing and effects. I'm still not fond of ST audio but it does its job.

Atari coders can still code great demos !
And hi Jess, I'm also a big fan of your music :)

Cool effects, catchy music, and nice graphics all glued together and
presented with excellent pace, sync, and transitions. This production
definitely belongs to the category "my favorite demos". I like it a lot!

The colors, the transitions, the soundtrack, the pace, all the small details and ideas, the spirit. What a great demo! <3
