Yet Another Plasma!

[McKlain]

Some of you have already seen it on the homepage shoutbox, but it was mandatory to make an "official" thread on the forums. A new 4 kilobytes demo from Overflow and myself.

http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=60660



It's 128kb only, try it on real hardware if you can 


Markus, we are waiting for you to make a proper video capture of the demo, like only you know how to do

I'm not a fan of the pastels and weird stippled colour palettes of recent demos, I like the good olde FIRE REDs and SOLID BLUEs of the CPC palette and it really gives this intro a true CPC feel.
And the music, as was mentioned in the ShoutBox, is simply amazing for a 4k intro.

Top job by both participants! ^_^

The color choises really work here. Especially the part with purple against bright green is excellent, it really makes the effect stand out like in no other plasma I've seen on the CPC before. You don't always need alternative and complex color choises to make an effect work well.


Great work, Overflow, we want moaaarrrrr

Yes, the final plasma is one of the most craziest things I've seen on the cpc 

[Devilmarkus]

Nice work guys!
Now when will you release the next mega-demo? (on 4 disks)

[McKlain]

Expect a 2015 release

Great work! Thanks!

[Gryzor]

Indeed, I very much enjoyed it last night, much to my girl's pain. Thanks

[ralferoo]

Great little demo, awesome work guys!

Hermol from CPCrulez already posted a Youtube video :


Yet Another Plasma! (Logon System 2012)

...for french speaking fans, the topic at CPCrulez forum too :

...and the news page with a few screenshots :

Enjoy!

I could see it last Sunday as Hermol and Overflow came to my appartment in Valence.
Was fun to see them in person and to see this plasma in "avant-première".

The stripes effect with the slight curves is really nice.
The long gradient with hue shift from Dark red to pastel yellow (through orange) and the other from dark Blue to pastel cyan (through skyblue) are really stapple values from the CPC palette...


The Green and Purple ones actually features some slight hue shift to Yellow ending in pastel yellow.

and Purple (actually called "Magenta" by Amstrad) going slightly red through the  Magenta(actually called "Purple" by Amstrad) in the middle. (Well, not sure he did this actually, gotta verify on emulator and real CPC perhaps)

We tried a few other palettes too but he made the obviously better choices.

I guess he couldn't put more sequences and more palettes because of the 4k limitation.

Fantastic surprise ! great achievement for Overflow's return !
4K , fullscreen , 50Hz with a cool tune , i love this.The effect is soooo good, i really love the part with different color stripes.
Two very very very little things : color choice (nothing serious against it but it is very basic) and the demo does not loop (i'd like to look it more and more!)

[MacDeath]

just add a "goto 10" then...

[McKlain]

I need to sample the tune while playing on my 464, I'm still not sure that the emus play it properly.


By the way, the song is an adaptation of an old work of mine, from 1999:


THE TRACER (V2) - MCKLAIN - goear.com

[Gryzor]

* Gryzor likey, though it comes out quite distorted...

[McKlain]

I need to export it again from the impulse tracker module 

[Gryzor]

Please do, sounds lovely

[McKlain]

Please do, sounds lovely

New version, I hope that this one doesn't sound distorted

Just listened to it with headphones at full blast at work. Love it!

[McKlain]

Thank you, sir 

[Gryzor]

...listening to it again now

[Devilmarkus]

Nice tune!

[Overflow]

Hi guys!
I've had much fun when creating the intro,
polishing with the stunner tune from McKlain has been a great final.
"Cherry on the cake" (is this good English?),
people have had some good time by watching the show.
Then you guys took time to comment: nice to you, I appreciate.
I've liked the comments which end by a simple "Thanks!",
so here am I: for your nice words, thanks!
