Building From Bedrock 1K
This intro was created for the Assembly summer 2024 1K intro competition, where it placed 1st. Since this was the first time one of my kids came along, I was inspired by one of their favourite games :) The music was made by Miss Saigon on a very limited size and time budget.
You can watch the intro on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/yDIRSU-8coQ

If you have a fast enough Nvidia video card, you can run the executable yourself, download it from here .
Warning: Windows Defender doesn’t like the 1K assembler magic that is needed to create this, and will report it as a virus (and delete the exe). You might want to download it in a folder that is excluded from the virus scanning.

Lux Minima, Lux Sancta 1K
This 1K intro was made for the Lovebyte 2024 1Kb intro competition, where it placed 4th. It uses a particle effect, instead of the usual raymarching :) This also means that you don’t really need a heavy videocard to run this. It’s recommended to run the intro realtime, because the Youtube compression really messes up particle effects… You can download the intro from here, feedback welcome on the Pouet page. Note that antivirus scanners might complain about 1Ks due to the unusual header hacks used.
If you prefer to watch it on youtube: you can do that here.

The Red Chair executable graphics
My first 4K executable gfx, for the Outline 2021 party. It placed 2nd in the executable graphics competition. It’s amazing how much space is in a 4K if you don’t have to add a soundtrack and animation…

MAGI
It took us 7 years to release a new demo, and one month later we have another ready :) Made in approximately 1 week time to support the MAGFest 2019 demoparty, it took 1st place in the combined intro/demo competition. It’s a bit short, but we’re happy we made it.
