Demo productions
Is anyone interested in producing Amiga style demo productions? Is there enough knowledge yet to program interesting and impressive effects? I can't wait for some actual releases, and I'd really like to partake in some (as a music composer and sound designer).
For those who are not familiar with the demo scene, here's an example:

I thought about that and decide that there is not much to show on SMD. For example, all sorts of big and smooth scrolls which was hard to achieve on old computers (with framebuffer processed solely by CPU) will be not interesting on SMD; different vector graphics and 3D effects will be just not impressive, because we all saw that already many times on other platforms and we surely know that it's possible; and so on.

Yes, soft of. Most of 'unique' effects (which abuses unique SMD hardware features) already was used in many games, especially in Zyrinx ones.zinger wrote:Are you saying that there's little that is unique about the MD, Shiru?
Technically, I'm sure that SMD can run demo like shown on your link (all shown effects is doable).

There are some MD/Genesis demos up on Pouët :>
However nothing released after '96 so they might not seem very complex

Runs in 480i too on real hardware.
I can do music in TFM /Hello Zinger / and some cool pixelart pictures and logos /I have original DELUXE PAINT 2/...
Any coder here???
Why not??? I think MD/GENNY is good demo platform...
@Shiru ->
Yes on PCs are better demos... better GFX... RAM... CPU... but good stylish demo can be on old hardware too...It is not hardware thing but it is in design.

I have my hands pretty much full with my sound engine and related, but I could try make some worth-seeing demos, I just need ideas (which I lack lately... school sucks).
