Holiday by Tonrauschen 3.852318705259882% =---=--=-==-===-=================================-===-==-=--=---= General comments about the competition: There was some issues with the competition rules - some don't quit with ESC and one demo don't seem to have any sound. We still decided that we'll vote for all of the demos. Seems that quitting with ESC in the Tonrauschen demos work fine in some computers and don't work at all in some. Get ready for the TMDC5. Any comments? -> Email us: tmdc at tAAt dot fi Comments: This was tight for the top three. Two of them sucked big time... But the best was a very difficult pick. -- escimo/Grin^tAAt A few good demos. And it's also nice to see new sceners contributing - although the Q(uick)Basic demos can't really compete with others. -- tonic On 'Holiday by Tonrauschen': Doesn't quit with ESC -- !Cube / Armada + SCS*TRC + Scallop Ouch. One pitty point. Was there sound at all? -- escimo/Grin^tAAt A bit boring -- McLad/Grin^tAAt A good one.. if you happen to like gwbasic. -- phaser / grin no comments. -- Random No sound. Ugly. Breaks rules as there's no way to exit. -- Sol Technically not sophisticated but nice hunch of effort and design. -- st Rana No sound? Effects stay in theme of the title. Nice try. The wireframe vectors are buggy on at least some computers due to clearing+drawing in screen buffer but still using vertical retrace synching. -- tonic On 'TextOS by Tonrauschen': Doesn't quit with ESC -- !Cube / Armada + SCS*TRC + Scallop Joke? Well I didn't get it. Aarg! This is ugly as. And that sound! Another Aargh! I will have a head ache for the rest of the day. My personal hatered for PC-speaker settles it not even one mercy point. -- escimo/Grin^tAAt Funny idea -- McLad/Grin^tAAt Boring. -- phaser / grin pc speaker was good joke but...=) -- Random PC speaker sound. Breaks rules as there's no way to exit. -- Sol Hilarious. -- tonic On 'flowres by Numedia Cyclops': Too few colors used so it made it look a bit dull -- !Cube / Armada + SCS*TRC + Scallop This is OK. But just OK. Music is the best part. Probably the best music among the entries. Didn't like the colours though. -- escimo/Grin^tAAt nice -- McLad/Grin^tAAt A nice and colorful demo, not too technical -- phaser / grin I can imagine that someone had some good ideas on design, but their realization collapsed right from the begin. Graphics sucks and rasterizing wasn't very good. In some effects, Numedia Cyclops didn't consider that this is textmode at all. -- Random Interesting choise of colors.. -- Sol Most of the effects were not good in text mode. -- st Rana Extra points for making effects especially for text mode with textmode special characters. But rest of the effects didn't didn't work very well in text mode at all. -- tonic On 'contact by portal project': Very close to Super Killer but some effects could've been shorter -- !Cube / Armada + SCS*TRC + Scallop This isn't bad, no way. It didn't just blow my mind. Maybe a bit boring? The worst music among top three. Some fx didn't work in textmode and the demo left the feeling that it was just ported to tm without paying much attention to how it might work. -- escimo/Grin^tAAt Excellent, though it's just a lowres demo in block color mode. -- phaser / grin Nice design, nice musics. In textmode you guys should appreciate simpliness. -- Random I had really high hopes for this demo, and it's clearly one of the two real demos in this compo. I think I was expecting the demo to *start* at some point but it sort of didn't. -- Sol Pretty nice demo, although I had to start it first in window and then change to fullscreen to get sound working.. and I got it running in 80x25 mode (with half of the effect visible) by starting it in 80x25 fullscreen mode. -- tonic On 'Super Killer by dairos, nula, para, raist, stonda, tpp': Best one clearly but doesn't quit with ESC -- !Cube / Armada + SCS*TRC + Scallop And we have a winner. Music was OK and it was well syncronized with fx. It seemed limitations of the text mode were taken into account. -- escimo/Grin^tAAt Great colors and contrast -- McLad/Grin^tAAt Great music, good effects. Full potential of textmode not used. -- phaser / grin Best one of the entries. The part with orangish env-mapped thingie was only part of the democompo that was very good looking in textmode. Still music was awful and other parts didn't have enough contrast and colors were crappy. -- Random Kickass! -- Sol Best effects in the compo. -- st Rana A little bit better than contact by portal project. Most effects fit well to textmode. -- tonic
