Truck Is Jarig 4K

Here’s a crazy idea I have had for a few years: remake the entire Rob Is Jarig/Aardbei demo from 2000 in a 4K. That demo has been submitted at quite a few demoparties (see Pouet ). At some point people started to dance on stage if that demo was shown. Unfortunately the Fins at Assembly’22 didn’t know that custom (or they were scared of the security guards. Yes Assembly has those). Still, they at least recognized my artistic impression of Truck ;-)

DC Offset 8K

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is DCOffset-1024x582.png

This was our contribution to the 8K intro competition at Revision 2021, where it placed 2nd. It is the first production using our experimental GPU-synth. I wanted to see if a synth in the same language as the visuals would compress better and ultimately be smaller than the usual softsynths (Clinkster/4Klang). Unfortunately, you can’t really do an apples to apples comparison by implementing half a synth, or even 80% of one. And I’m not that interested in synths, VSTi’s etc etc, so this took a long time. This intro gave the final motivational push to finish it. We ran in the usual last-days bugs, sleepless nights, asking the organizers to extend the deadline etc… so it’s not as polished as we had hoped. Still, we learned a lot, and had fun making this!

Jumpgate 10.24 1Kb intro

Jumpgate 10.24 is our contribution to the Assembly 2020 1 kilobyte intro competition. It was an online-only event, for obvious reasons, but we’re glad it wasn’t cancelled.

You can watch the intro on Youtube: https://youtu.be/Cv4DYmxgYlQ

Or you can download the executables (1K versions and safe versions) here: zip archive. Note that some virusscanners may confuse 1K intros with malware due to the unconventional coding techniques. The almost-compo version is nvidia only and rather slow, I recommend running one of the safe versions.

The Last Dance 8K

Originally conceived as an 4K intro for Assembly 2018, we released this 8K at Revision 2019, in cooperation with Horology. It needs a very powerful graphics card. You can either watch in on Youtube: https://youtu.be/x_MalHjxcEs

Or if your hardware is fast enough (AMD RX 480, Nvidia 1080 GTX), you can download the executable here:

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.

Party At Spencer’s

So, after almost 7 years, we made a demo again! Slightly hurried, but we wanted to support the American demoscene at Demosplah 2018, where we placed 2nd in the Modern democompo.

Screen Lit Vertigo 1K

Here’s our entry for the Assembly 2018 1 kilobyte intro competition, it placed 2nd out of 13. It needs a fairly fast videocard to run the 1K compo versions at 60 FPS (GTX 1080 TI for the 1080p version, GTX 1060 for the 720p version), but the safe versions which are a bit bigger than 1K and don’t have the uglier hacks should run pretty much everywhere.

Binary Parasites 4K

Here is our entry for the Revision 2018 4 Kilobyte intro competition. It placed 7th out of 18 entries, a bit lower than I had hoped for, but the level of comperition was once again very high.

If you don’t have a fairly high-level videocard, you can watch a video capture on YouTube.

My First 4K Intro

This is our contribution to the Under Construction 2017 combined 4K/64K compo. It’s a not-so-serious party production, hope you’ll like it!
