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.

Creative Carving 1K

This done-in-a-hurry 1K was made for the Demosplash 2023 combined intro competition, where it placed 1st. It’s based on a recursive torus idea that I had for quite a while, with some added near-Halloween styling.

You can watch it on Youtube , feedback welcome on Pouet

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.

In The Grim Future 8K


This is our contribution to the Revision 2016 8K intro competition, it placed 6th out of 11. Be warned that it needs a extremely fast video card, and it has an extremely long shader compilation time on Nvidia cards (5 minutes on a slow laptop), although tjhat is only the first time you run it, then it is in the shader cache. On AMD, it’s less extreme but still close to a minute.

Escape Through Subspace 1K

Escape

This is our contribution to the Assembly 2016 1K competition, where it took the 1st place. You need quite a powerful graphic card to run it in realtime. (RX 470 level for 720p version, GTX 1080 for the 1080p version). There is some making-of information in the readme.txt in the archive.

4K Compo Stocking Filler

4K Compo Stocking Filler

Here’s a little party-coded compofiller 4K for the Under Construction 2015 demoparty. I was aiming for a more realistic Christmas tree, but the result has tons of raymarch glitches and runs very slow… Still, the audience appreciated it for what it was. Huge thanks to Skyrunner/Brain Control for helping out with the music in a hurry.

And The Soundcard Isn’t Great Either

Abacus
This is a party-coded executable gfx for the Demodays 2013 surprise compo. The topic was “This app can’t open. The screen resolution is too low for ‘Music’ to run.” Not having a Windows 8 tablet, I started wondering just how low-res your computing device had to be to justify such an error… I aimed for a 1K, but stopped 96 byte short, not wanting to cut features nor converting everything to assembler.
