Assembly 2002 64K Combined Intro Winner

[Sinister]

Huh... people, my question stands still... please, could someone clarify that to me?
How is that blur/ out-of-focus (you know, just after that silver cave, there is a silver creature statue that is showed all the time with this effect, never really focused) done? Some kind of a-buffer? Or is it a cheaper trick? Thanks...

What could be cheaper (simpler to implement) than an A buffer?

eSa : I had a look at those demos - what exactly makes them better than this one?

I still wonder why on earth ppl consider Second Reality so high, if the two main coders are just BS talkers...

or do I really have to remind what these guys do nowadays?

btw, I and few my friends just met Trug IRL at the Assembly. We had a very nice conversation.

Ummm, you won't have to remind us, but you might have to tell me Don't they work at Remedy?

Uncompressed the squish executable is not 3MB

It is just 60KB shy of 32MB's.

Yes that is right.. not 3MB... 32MB! EEeeKKkk!

Look, you are probably not serious, but you can do 4 KB intro (.exe size 4 KB) that uses say 256 MB memory when checked out from the task manager... It's has nothing to do with _compression_ of the original executable. And for Reverend, do check out :

Especially, the "08" and "019" intros. THOSE guys could gamecoders a few tricks (Allthought some of them probably are game coders these days).

A lot of demo coders became game programmers. Hell, Remedy is almost all ex-demo guys.

As for 2nd Reality - Just because BitBoys is "vapourware" now , doesn't mean you can take away from their achievement with 2nd Reality. That was the ultimate PC demo ever. Anyone who knows anything would agree

why is skaven (hjaba) working on graphics (although he's doing a great job..) instead of writing kick ass tunes for remedy?

Well, when you compare strictly technical merits, they are better. Besides, I'm old Sanity fan.

Allthought all respect to the Russian guy, after all he did everything by himself.
