BIG WIN! I demand at least a solid post on what combination of techniques you used, Smash, to let this happen.
This one DEFINITELY calls for a CDC, which I will happily share after I get a sufficient amount of glops :P

I'm a bit torn on this one. Certainly, having this much geometry in 41k is very impressive, and some of the effects work very well, but the overall impression leaves me a bit empty.
Similarly, some of the patches used are out of this world (usable piano and cymbal patches in 4klang?), but overall the music doesn't sound like a coherent whole to me.
Maybe when I watch it outside the stream I will think OMG BEST 64K EVER. But for now: A really good prod, again. Congrats. :-)

OK, the 4klang rumors are a lie, if I understand the nfo right. Doesn't change my impression much either way.

Im pretty sure smash can and will write something about the techniques used for the visuals.
Considering the synth, i dont know who spread the 4klang rumour, but this is basically a new synth written from scratch, with 64k in mind. Internally i call it 64klang of course :)

Definitely the best production at the ASM this year and one of the best, if not the best, production this year. Only thing I didn't like that much was the music.

the scenes (and their base colors) didnt really speak to me but the uncovering transition looks good and i loved the pink/purple (hard to tell from the scene) quads flying around (including shadows), that really made it work for me (for me it was a crucial detail)

For some weird reason the demo starts normally and then all the grey scale gets the colors of a ZX Spectrum picture, is that normal? I was pretty sure on the stream that it was supposed to be in greyscale :)

Really good. I'd say one minute shorter and/or another effect/change of scene wouldn't have hurt, but still top-notch.

Crashes here too (win7 x64) in msvcrt.dll/memcpy, right after the loading screen.
Running it in a sandbox somehow fixes this though, so I could watch it anyway.. The visuals were great in some parts, in other parts I'm still not sure if it is supposed to look that way or if my 4870 was bugging out though, because it just looked weird.
And that music, just wow.. More than enough reason for a thumb up :)

Although it was basically good, I didn't find the visuals all that pleasing - it's missing the something.

too much grey in bright grey. really dull beside the pink. but the "geometry" is cool. and it sounds good. heard some good humming inbetween there.

Nice looking visuals and tune is good too but but as a whole I find the intro quite dull. Basically, what Sesse said but without the thumb.

I can hardly get it to work:
In fullscreen I could only run it once, sometimes it crashes right after the precalc, sometimes there is a problem with the music playback (starts playing back noise basically) and if this happens after the few frames the intro crashes.
Had more luck in windowed mode but that might be just a coincidence.
If you can't reproduce the issue I'm happy to test fixes.

Breathtaking visuals, great music...easily the best 64k since Panic Room. This should (and will) win the demo compo!
Btw: Had similar problems like BoyC - running in fullscreen seems to either crash it after precalc or kill the music. Windowed mode is running fine...

you will not believe the amount of bad luck we had with this the last couple of days. compo cancels, logistics, crashes.. the world and its mother was against us releasing, but our bloody mindedness made us get through it. :) anyway, about the crashes - yes something suspect is going on. we had some real problems with the synth asm code vs kkrunchy which almost killed us, but it could be something else too. (boyc, i may take up your testing offer)
insectecutor: no, its all synth. physical modelling in realtime, all of it. no samples whatsoever. the entire synth and data (except for the midi song data) is about 2.5k. gopher is awesome. :)
